so lovely! definitely on my wishlist

I just got out of my everything shower. I feel like I've been reborn 😍 my everything shower consists of: -hair washing x2 (duh) I apply conditioner on my ends before applying the shampoo to my scalp, just to protect the ends from the shampoo -hair mask (papaya) about 20-25min -deep cleaning my ears -washing my face using hydrating moroccan soap (but any soap works!) -brushing teeth + whitening strips -moroccan body shower (using moroccan body exfoliator + traditional moroccan soap ) - full body shave (choose your razor carefully! the "right" razor made a huge difference for me) -washing my body again after the shave INCLUDING the back (using one of those long handed back brushes) -filing my feet using a foot file (only do this if you have dead skin build-up on your feet) and before my shower, I did my toenails and my nails! and later today I'm going to get my back waxed! this is your sign to do self care! I do this routine once a week to feel fresh for the rest of the week and to stay polished. extra tips: 1. change your bedsheets + pillow cases + blankets to newly washed ones! 2. keep a clean water bottle next to your bed (and possibly a book) 3. wear newly washed pajamas and spray your favourite perfume (on the clothes, never the skin cuz it could lead to acne) 4. use petroleum gel/cream like vasline on your feet, knees, elbows and lips for the moisturisation 5. I also usually shave my face and clean around my eyebrows once a week but since I did this just a few days ago, I didn't do it today

LOVELY 💞 title translates to " a window in copacabana " there's an English version of the book which is the one that I have and read

(brazilian) portuguese crime book I've got the book in English though, it's called "southwesterly wind " I adore the author's style and I totally love the Inspector Espinosa series (this book is part of that series) 10/10

this book totally creeped me out and i didnt even finish it ( i was close to, though) and for the longest time I refrained from reopening this book until lately now im thinking I should finish it and reread it! and i will pure psychological and actual horror 10/10 coming from a crime/thriller/murder-mysteries fan

A childhood favourite Read this in my first year of high school and was AMAZED by it I'll totally come back to read it again

valid

I mean, I don't even have to talk sherlock holmes my love!!!😍 lovely story, lovely author, lovely book First read it in high school

MY FAVOURITE BOOK EVER!🖤😽 not exactly the "lightest " book in terms of the things discussed, but the story, the characters, everything, forces you to think deeply and possibly also to reflect I read it in high school, and i keep coming back to it!

I love sherlock holmes! all of doyle's novels abt sherlock holmes pique my interest and have been my absolute favourites since childhood

i read this a while back and dude this scratched my brain absolutely loved it will read it again

Valid part of inspector Espinosa series

lovely book, read it in high school it challenged me but it was interesting enough for me to finish it I love this author and his style of writing

lovely book, not exactly "professional" level psychology, but it's a fun book and there are definitely some helpful tricks in here

this one was one of my favourites... forces you to think, shocks you. very enjoyable

I loved reading this and getting to know the author's dangerous experience, although I don't usually read these kinds of books this one stood out

man, it seriously feels like every month that goes by I get a new "update" that changes how I think or act. i guess this is the beautiful part about being in your early 20's. my latest update is making me more detached from people, despite craving the connections, and it's making me work harder for my dreams which isn't something I'm complaining about! my field of choice is my passion, and even if the road to get there is long, I know I'll make it. it's still a battle to find a balance between my personal life and my student life, and it surely affects my mental health. there are many things that I'd like changed to have a better mental health... like close connections of real friends, a fixed bedtime, at least 6 hours of sleep, pre-made meals, new furniture and for my skin to get fixed. one day I'll get there!

I'll start journaling again!
