My favorite self care products and ideas!

Hi everyone!

My life is honestly pretty crazy. Trying to manage loads of school, being in two musicals, a social life, and having time to relax is difficult. So, I do a bunch of this kind of stuff on Sundays, to reset for my week. I thought I would share with you a couple of products that I love to make me just feel happy!

--------------------------------

1. Use a bath wash-

When I just want to add something extra during my shower to smell even better, I use this Warm vanilla sugar bath wash from Bath and Body Works. It smells like cookies (so amazing) and it just makes me smell so freaking good.

2. Do a face mask-

I do this every Sunday, just to kind of relax me and get my skin ready for another week of makeup all the time, haha! I use a variety, like this one I pictured, and then some ones in bags from walmart. Because I don't use much, I can usually get two uses out of the bags, which is nice.

3. Work out-



I love doing this on Sundays to really feel ready and prepared for the next week. Today is Sunday when I'm writing this, and I did one today and I am DEAD.

4. Exfoliate



I honestly don't notice a difference with this (LOL), but I do this anyways haha. I use this cheap one, which isn't really great, but I've gotten used to it.

5. Eat your comfort food-



For me, this is insta-pot lasagna. Eat something that you love, who cares about diets.

--------------------------------

So yeah! These are just a few ideas, let me know in the comments what you guys do for self care!

What I take to a theatre competition with me!

Hi everyone!

I went to a theatre competition last week, and I thought I would show you guys what I brought. This might be helpful for some of you guys, and if its not, I hope you still enjoy reading it.

-----------------------------------

1. My bag -

This is a bag that I got from Target, and I absolutely love it! It holds just enough for me, and it's so cute!

2. A hairbrush

A must have.

3. Tights

I had to have these for one of my costumes, so I packed 2 pairs just to be safe.

4. Extra Makeup

Since we had to be there all day, I figured I better reapply before my big competition. So, I brought some eyeliner, mascara, an eyeshadow brush, highlighter, concealer, a beauty blender, and an eyeshadow palette.

5. Bandaids

I always bleed, so these are just a need for me LOL.

6. Bobby Pins

As you can see, these have definitely been used, but I still have some.

7. Hair ties

These three things that I've just listed are all in my emergency bag.

8. Bike shorts



I brought two pairs, because EMERGENCIES. I always lose mine right before I go on stage haha.

9. Earbuds



These totally came in handy for downtime. I loved having them with me.

10. Portable Charger



I didn't use this this time, but I can see how it would really come in handy. I'm excited to put it in my school bag and start using it.

-------------------------------

So yeah! That's it. I hope you enjoyed this post!

January Wrap-up

Hi everyone!

Wow. January was A MONTH. It was a pretty good month, pretty fun, but also EXTREMELY busy. Trying to keep up with being in two shows, doing school, and a competition was INSANE. It was really fun, but just crazy. So yeah, let's get into it!

-------------------------------------

1. My Birthday!

I FINALLY turned 14!! So thankful to finally be out of being 13 honestly, haha. I feel like being 14 is stepping out of like the middle school age and moving up, idk maybe it's just me haha. I went to school all day on my birthday, and it was amazing. My friends were super sweet, and one of them even brought me a balloon. It was great.

2. Spent a lot of time with friends

Two of our best friends have started coming over on Wednesday afternoons a lot, and its just been really nice to be able to spend more time with them.

3. Learned how to longboard

On one of those Wednesdays, my best friend taught me how to long board and I LOVED it!! It was so much fun!!

4. Got a new car!

This may sound bland to y'all, but this is a big deal for us. We got rid of our car we had for 14 years (Ikr, as old as me!), and got a new one! It's so nice.

5. Competition

This past weekend, my school went to our annual theatre competition. It was so much fun. We got to walk around a university all weekend, and I also missed THE FIRST SNOW OF THE SEASON BECAUSE OF THIS. I WAS SO UPSET. But it was super nice, and the campus was pretty. We won you guys! I participated in the ensemble musical theatre competition, and solo musical theatre. I didn't place in the solo musical theatre, but WE WON THE ENSEMBLE MUSICAL THEATRE!!! This was so big for us. I'm so excited.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>

What I've enjoyed this month -

Gilmore Girls. Just Gilmore Girls. This is a tv show that can constantly cheer me up, and is never boring. No spoilers in the comments!

I love Lewis Capaldi. His music is so good.

Walking. Walking around that college campus was so peaceful.

Dancing. I did so much of it this month.

---------------------------------

So yeah, that's about it. This month has been crazy, but really fun. How was your January?
