Because Finals

I'm writing this out of procrastination because I absolutely hate studying finals. Most of you probably have the same problem. I always get distracted and bored. I have found a few techniques that get me through studying and hopefully they do the same for you!


Usually I will gather my supplies first, like, study guides, pens, pencils, highlighters. The next thing to do is to find a comfy place to study. I don't particularly like to study at my desk because it's not that comfortable for long periods of time. So, I usually just gather my stuff and lay down on my bed. Once I have settled in I pull out my phone and turn up some music. I like to listen to 8tracks because I can find new music that fit my mood. I like to listen to tracks under study and motivation. Once I have my jams playing and everything I need to study I get to the actual studying. Flashcards are about the best way to go when you have to memorize stuff. I get so distracted and bored that I have to take frequent breaks. I like to take them about every 30 minutes. You may feel the urge to grab those cookies or chips when studying, but if you get something healthier like berries and yogurt it will keep you going longer. When you wake up in the morning from studying all night make sure you eat breakfast. You will feel energized and be ready to take the finals! 


Stop procrastinating and get to it!

That No Good Acne

Today I woke up and a huge break out and I was like EEEP! My skin type is combination and I don't get acne much in the winter, so you could say it was unexpected. My first line of attack was to put some acne medicine on it. I use the Neutrogena Naturals Acne Spot Treatment. So far I love it because it usually gets rid of my breakouts within 3 days. The reason is because it's clear and can be applied anytime. When I breakout in the morning I can put it in and no one will notice it. The 2nd thing I do is usually wait it out. If it's not gone within 3 days then I try to figure out why it happened. Certain spots on your face break out for different reasons. Read below for your acne analysis:


1. Forehead: Triggered by stress or not enough sleep.
2. Above Brows: Usually appear before, after, or during a cold or flu.
3. Between Brows: Caused by over indulgence.
4. Cheeks: Caused by smoking or  breathing polluted air.
5. Side of Chin: Usually by hormones. (In other words when your Aunt Flo is visiting)

These may not be the cases in all acne, but this is what I have found from reading articles online and in books. Most of these apply to me, but I don't acne in all these places mostly on my forehead and between my brows. Hope you find this useful to your unexpected breakouts. Until next time!
