STUDY TIPZ ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“Œ ๐Ÿ™‡๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ A common qu STUDY TIPZ ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“Œ ๐Ÿ™‡๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

A common question I get often, so hereโ€™s some of my study methods!

Probably the #1 question I get is what app I have on my iPad to take notes. 

But first the iPad sitch: 
YOU DO NOT NEED THE FANCIEST IPAD. 
I did a bunch of research and decided the base level iPad is absolutely FINE. If you are buying an iPad for school you are buying an iPad for SCHOOL. All you need is a note taking app and a few others on there, no need for fancy anything. Youโ€™re broke enough. 

I bought my iPad for about $330 and the Apple Pencil 1 (again, donโ€™t need anything fancy that costs extra ๐Ÿ’ธ). I have a lot of people ask me about this so if youโ€™re curious which one I have just comment below and I can dm you the link.

I use the app โ€œnotabilityโ€ to take notes. 
I can add the power-points to my iPad before class, and then take my own notes on them in class via my apple pencil.

Next lies my trusty whiteboard. My desk faces my whiteboard. I sit at my desk for hours every single day. I use my whiteboard in two kinds of ways, active and passive. 

When there is a suuuper difficult concept I try to draw it out. I try & put together an entire chapter/lecture/concept in one place. This is the part that takes forever. Because this is the LEARNING part. You learn as you tie everything all together in relationship with one another and once you understand that? Youโ€™ve learned the material. The next part is just maintaining and memorizing that understanding. ๐Ÿง 

There comes the passive part. I leave my big drawing up on my whiteboard for days. While I could be working on something else, my whiteboard is always in direct view and I look at it often. Eventually it becomes so familiar I can โ€œseeโ€ the entire drawing in my head as Iโ€™m taking my test. 

More to come if you guys are interested! What study tipz do you use? ๐Ÿ“

Summer Beauty Trends for 2017

June 5, 2017June 5, 2017

So who else did a massive haul at Sephora for their VIB Rouge sale?!ย I finally bought some items that have been on my list for awhile and stocked up on some popular summer beauty trends. Here’s what I’ve loved this month!

Smashbox’s Be Legendary Liquid Lip in “Petal Metal” –ย So I’ve been seeing this everywhere on Youtube and Instagramย so I obviously had to give it a try. The metallic lip is super in right now, and this one is a metallic rose gold (how trendy of smashbox). It goes on more like a glossย compared to an actual liquid lipstick. But it’s hydrating and the metallic color doesn’t crack – it fades evenly. I reapplied every couple of hours since it is more of a gloss. The color is gorgeous though, and I feel like the shade would be flattering onย the majority of people who wear it.ย Get it here with free shipping:ย Smashbox Be Legendary Liquid Metal Liquid Lip – Petal Metal.

Tatcha’s Skincare Trial Setย –ย This set included Tatcha’s cleansing oil,ย polished classicย rice enzyme powder, silk moisturizing cream, and dewy skin mist. I loved the cleansing oil as my skin is super dry. I’ve had to stop using most cleansers as they just dry me out. This oil does not – and melts off any makeup. It contains antiaging green tea and red algae. Loved this product!

I followed the cleanser withย the rice enzyme powder mixed with a little water. The powder turns to a foam, and its an extremely gentle exfoliation to remove dead skin and help soften and smooth out pores. After washing my face, I finished with the silk moisturizer, containing…silk! Additionally, it has pearl extract which helps support collagen production to reduce fine lines. This is a thicker moisturizer which I love. My skin is extremely sensitive, so the only negative with this cream would be the fragrance. It burned a little initially, then resolved after a minute. Overall, it did keep my skin hydrated and flake-free, which is difficult to do.

Lastly, this set contained Tatcha’s dewy skin mist, which can be used before or after makeup to set. What I love about this mist is how fine the spray is, it’s a super soft mist! It contains hyaluronic acid, red algae, and green tea for hydration. It contains 20% botanical oils for a dewy, fresh finish. Unfortunately this set is no longer available ๐Ÿ™ But I linked each individual item below if one of them sounded intriguing to you ๐Ÿ™‚

Anastasia’s Modern Renaissance Eyeshadow Palette – I feel like this palette is almost as popular as the first Naked palette when itย came out. I’ve been seeing this EVERYWHERE and for a good reason! It has some trendy magentas and burnt orange colors, as well as some gorgeous neutral shimmery shades. The pigment from this palette is amazing as well and easy to blend. Also comes with a brush. I can’t wait to try so many looks with this palette! It’s perfect for summer. Snatch one upย here.

Piper Wai Natural Deodorant – I decided to try this product out as a few of my nursing coworkers love it. I’ve been wanting to switch over to a natural deodorant to stop using the ones with harmful aluminum. But I’ve been so reluctant because I really do need the clinical strength, and most natural deodorants aren’t powerful enough! This one actually holds up throughout the day! This deodorant is different in that you have to scoop the product out ofย the jar, then just rub the product in. It’s made with activated charcoal, so it absorbs 1000 times its weight in water, keeping you dry. The smell is light and fresh, kind of minty.ย I will definitely buy this product once I’m out.ย Disclaimer – (I received this product for free but all opinions are my own). Get it on Amazon below.

 

Dr. Jart+ Water Replenishment Mask –ย This mask is an Allure Best of Beauty Award winner and I totally see why! It’s full of hydration for dry skin. What’s different about this mask is that its customized to affect different areas of the face. Itย targets the undereye and cheek area, by applying acupressure to increase circulation to those areas causing tighter, plumper skin. It also contains collagen to firm the skin as well. It’s extremely hydrating, and all the reviews on Sephora are people raving about how this is the best mask they’ve tried. I agree! Pick it up at Sephoraย here.

That’s it for now guys! I hope you try out some of these summer beauty trends!

    I can’t believe I waited until I was after 40 to begin trying face masks. I’ll put this one on my list!
