I Will Try Out The Lemon Water And The Cold Room. I've Been In A Slump Lately, Being Well Rested Is The

𝐌𝐲 𝐝𝐚𝐲

Wednesday 10/7/24: Today one of my best friends came to sleep over, we are talking about Tumblr as I'm typing this. We planned al sorts of activities that I like today, so this was mostly a day focused on wellness! 💗🌸

Studies: I've done nothing for my studies today., since i had no time. I will spend extra time on my language study to make up for it! 💪😊

Small tasks: Today I send some messages i've been procrasinating (one of my biggest problems), i've cleaned my room, did my morning routine and cleaned out my trash! Very proud of myself.

Exercise: Today I went on a walk, cycled for an hour and swam for 2 hours.

Mental wellness: Today me and my friends swam in a lake, it was so beautiful there and it always calms me down. I truly felt like a naiad (water nymph)! 🌊 We also went into the sauna and are going to put on some face masks! 🎭

3 things I liked about today: Hanging out with my beautiful friends, the feeling of swimming in the lake that was like I was one with nature and all my worries were gone, the snacks we baked.

This is actually so clear and helpfull! Thank you love! 💗

The essential skincare acids guide

type of acids sheet

Salicylic Acid – Best for oily and acne-prone skin. It penetrates deep into the pores, unclogs blackheads and whiteheads, controls excess oil, and prevents breakouts.

Glycolic Acid – Ideal for normal to oily skin. It exfoliates the top layer, brightens the skin, improves texture, and reduces fine lines and hyperpigmentation.

Lactic Acid – Suitable for dry and sensitive skin. It gently exfoliates while providing hydration, making it great for dullness and rough texture without irritation.

Mandelic Acid – Best for sensitive and acne-prone skin. It helps with uneven skin tone, reduces breakouts, and provides mild exfoliation without irritation.

Azelaic Acid – Works for all skin types, including sensitive skin. It reduces redness, fades hyperpigmentation, treats acne, and calms rosacea.

Kojic Acid – Best for hyperpigmented and sun-damaged skin. It helps lighten dark spots, melasma, and discoloration caused by acne scars or sun exposure.

Tranexamic Acid – Ideal for all skin types struggling with stubborn pigmentation. It effectively reduces melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), and sunspots.

Hyaluronic Acid – Suitable for all skin types, especially dry and dehydrated skin. It deeply hydrates, plumps fine lines, and retains moisture for a youthful look.

Polyglutamic Acid – Great for dry and dehydrated skin. It locks in moisture, provides long-lasting hydration, and enhances the skin’s elasticity.

Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) – Best for dull, uneven, and aging skin. It brightens, reduces pigmentation, fights free radicals, and boosts collagen production.

Ferulic Acid – Works for all skin types, particularly those using Vitamin C. It enhances the antioxidant power of Vitamin C and E, preventing premature aging.

Ceramides (Fatty Acids) – Essential for dry and sensitive skin. They repair and strengthen the skin barrier, preventing water loss and irritation.

Linoleic Acid (Omega-6 Fatty Acid) – Ideal for acne-prone and oily skin. It reduces clogged pores, balances oil production, and supports a healthy skin barrier.

Ellagic Acid – Good for sun-damaged and aging skin. It protects against UV damage, brightens skin, and provides antioxidant benefits.

Cinnamic Acid – Suitable for all skin types. It has anti-inflammatory properties and helps protect against environmental damage.

Succinic Acid – Best for oily and acne-prone skin. It controls sebum production, fights acne-causing bacteria, and soothes inflammation.

How to choose the right skincare acid for ur skin type

Oily & Acne-Prone Skin

Salicylic Acid (BHA): Penetrates deep into pores to remove excess oil and prevent breakouts.

Azelaic Acid: Reduces acne, fades dark spots, and calms redness.

Succinic Acid: A gentle anti-inflammatory that helps control breakouts.

Dry & Dehydrated Skin

Lactic Acid (AHA): Exfoliates while hydrating the skin.

Hyaluronic Acid: Retains moisture and plumps the skin.

Mandelic Acid: A mild exfoliant that improves texture without drying.

Combination Skin

Glycolic Acid (AHA): Brightens skin and smooths texture.

Salicylic Acid (BHA) (my bff🦅) : Controls oil production in the T-zone.

Hyaluronic Acid: Hydrates dry areas while balancing oil.

Sensitive Skin

Mandelic Acid: A gentle AHA that exfoliates with minimal irritation.

Azelaic Acid: Soothes inflammation and reduces redness.

PHA (Polyhydroxy Acids): Provides mild exfoliation while boosting hydration.

Hyperpigmentation & Dark Spots

Kojic Acid: Brightens skin and reduces discoloration.

Tranexamic Acid: Fades stubborn dark spots and melasma.

Glycolic Acid (AHA): Speeds up cell turnover for an even skin tone.

Aging & Wrinkles

Glycolic Acid (AHA): Stimulates collagen production and smooths fine lines.

Ferulic Acid: Enhances antioxidant protection and stabilizes vitamin C.

Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C): Brightens skin and fights free radical damage.

Common Mistakes When Using Skincare Acids

Using skincare acids can transform your skin, but when used incorrectly, they can cause irritation, sensitivity, or even worsen skin concerns. Here are some common mistakes to avoid:

1. Over-Exfoliating

Many people think using glycolic or salicylic acid daily will give them faster results, but excessive exfoliation weakens the skin barrier. This can lead to redness, peeling, breakouts, and sensitivity. (especially for oily skin)

Solution: Use exfoliating acids (AHAs/BHAs) 2-3 times per week and always listen to your skin. If it feels irritated, take a break pleaaase

2. Skipping Sunscreen

Acids like glycolic, lactic, and salicylic acid increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun. Without SPF, you risk sunburn, premature aging, and even worsening of dark spots.

Solution: Always use a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen daily when using serums with those acids.

3. Mixing the Wrong Acids

Not all acids work well together. Using too many active ingredients in one routine can cause irritation.

🔴 Examples of bad combinations:

Vitamin C + AHAs/BHAs → Can cause irritation and weaken Vitamin C’s effectiveness.

Retinol + AHAs/BHAs → Too harsh on the skin, leading to peeling and sensitivity. (by experience 💁🏻‍♀️)

Niacinamide + Vitamin C (unless properly formulated) → Can cause flushing or reduce effectiveness.

Solution: Use exfoliating acids on alternate days and simplify your routine to avoid irritation.

4. Not Hydrating Properly

Exfoliating acids remove dead skin cells but can also strip away moisture. Without proper hydration, the skin can feel tight, dry, or irritated.

Solution: After using acids, apply thick a moisturizer to maintain balance especially if the acids dry ur skin so fast

Hello beautiful humans, I wanted to share my morning and evening routine with you guys. I hope that it will inspire and motivate you! 💗 The times I wrote down are not an accurate, but more of an estimate that will differ depending on the day. My wake up and sleep time are goals for me at the moment. I want to get back into a good sleep rhythm before starting school (in less than a week).

𝕄𝕠𝕣𝕟𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕣𝕠𝕦𝕥𝕚𝕟𝕖

6.35 Wake up and drink a glass of water.

6.40 Do either some calming yoga or meditate.

7.00 Make my bed.

7.10 Put on my my outfit.

7.15 Brushing my teeth, doing skincare and hair.

7.40 Journaling.

7.45 Check agenda, make to do list and planning.

7.55 Make breakfast and eat.

8.15 Go to school.

For this plan I took maximum time for everything. Because of this I will often be ready way before 8.15. During the remaining time on school days I will study, this can either be for school or for my own hobbies <3

𝔼𝕧𝕖𝕟𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕣𝕠𝕦𝕥𝕚𝕟𝕖

20.30 Clean my room.

20.40 Pack bag for tomorrow (if needed).

20.45 Pick out clothes for tomorrow.

20.55 Make a 'my day' post and journal.

21.10 Brush my teeth, do skincare and put my hair in a protective hairstyle.

21.20 (Optional) Meditate or some calming yoga.

21.40 (Optional) Read.

There is no clear time to be in bed in my evening routine. I have some very bed sleeping problems that I'm trying to get rid of by using some good routines, the goal is to get sleepy enough to go to sleep between 21.30 and 22.00. My intention is to start trying to sleep at 22.00 even if i don't feel sleepy. Since I'm still trying to get into a rhythm and don't know my ideal sleep time, my bed time may change.

If you liked my post be sure to like, comment and reblog! If you like my content, consider buying me a book. <3 Lots of love from me!

Hello beautiful people, I am so happy to announce that I'm going to bring out new content! I've been working on some lovely guides: keeping a commonplace journal, guide to a happy lifestyle, having a healthy microbiome, guide to a healthy diet and guide to working out and gaining muscle!

I've also began reading in 'Sensitive: The Power of a Thoughtful Mind in an Overwhelming World' from Jenn Granneman and Andre Solo. When I've finished reading I will definitely write something about this subject!

Last but not least, I've started a YouTube channel! I still haven't posted anything but I'm planning my first video and I'm very excited. if you want to, you can subscribe here. Don' t expect anything with really good quality because my camera quality is very low and that's what I'm filming on. 😭

Love Pearl 🐚

𝐌𝐢𝐤𝐨𝐢𝐨𝐱𝐢, 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭?

Yeah.. that is probably what you're wondering right now! And I'd be glad to give you an answer, or atleast attempt to! ♪(^∇^*) Miko, that's me! (oﾟvﾟ)ノ

A small (almost) 15 year old blob placed in the middle of the earth, destined to do.. whatever I'll get to do in this place.

I have been welcomed to Tumblr a few weeks ago now, by a lovely friend of mine. Check their stuff out if you wish, give her all the love and support in the world, because she deserves it! （￣︶￣）↗　@aphroditestearsofjoy.

Honestly, I hadn't heard a lot of Tumblr. The only experience I had with it was many years ago, getting a virus by downloading a sims 4 mod coming from this page. Buttttt, I decided I might give it a try again, and just stay away from the sims stuff. ＞︿＜

More about me? There's so much you've yet to learn. I'm obviously not going to be able to write everything in this simple blog, but if you got any questions, hit me up! x

I live with my parents, back at my homeplace. I have two of the sweetests little fluffballs in my home.

I have a cat, called Diva. (We didn't choose her name, we had saved her from an abusive family household, and tried everything to make her listen to another name, but it didn't work. ＞︿＜ But sure, she slays.) She's currently thirteen, and we care so deeply about her.

And last, but certainly not least, we have Chef, my sweet baby. q(≧▽≦q) Chef is a Russian Dwarf Hamster. He's turning 1 year old on the 28th of February! We adopted him from a very sweet and caring family, and he's my absolute pride and joy. We have this huge aquarium tank for him, filled with all the stuff he likes, and obviously, his home! He's a very sweet and happy boy.

In my free time, you would most likely find me engrossed in a book or two, sipping some warm tea with honey. Or I am spending some time with my family, playing board games or having a karaoke night! (●'◡'●)

Here are some hobbies of mine I am excited to share with you!

reading (planning on posting a few book blogs)

baking / making smoothies (and everything that comes with it!)

researching mythology (ESPECIALLY EGYPTIAN MYTHOLOGY! <3)

writing!

anything that has to do with music

and last but not least, drawing!

I hope this small introduction will enlighten you of who I am as a person. Feel free to send me any questions, do not be afraid! <3

Thank you for reading this, I hope to make some new friends on Tumblr and get to know you all, too! Take care, stay hydrated and keep positive, no matter what. (≧∇≦)ﾉ

Miko, signing off!

#𝟏𝟎𝟎𝐃𝐀𝐘𝐒𝐑𝐄𝐈𝐍𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 - Week 1

Although I am (extremely) new to the self improvement community on tumblr. I have seen the #𝟏𝟎𝟎𝐃𝐀𝐘𝐒𝐑𝐄𝐈𝐍𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 challenge from @dreamdolldiary come by a few times amoung self improvement creators. Because of my curiosity, I have finally read the challenge and I immediately knew that this was the ideal challenge for me to start my self improvement journey! The "goal" of this challenge is to start with holding yourself accounteble and to build healthy habits.

So these were my first few weeks of attempting following this "challenge". And it went absolutely horrible, but I learned a lot from it.

The first 2 days of this challenge I felt very confident and good. But I completely broke down after that. I completely ignored this challenge for the next 2 weeks, because I wanted to focus on school. But because of that I forgot myself and selfcare, after that it didn't take long to stop having motivation for school too. Around this time of year I almost always get a little 'winterdip', but this year it was so massive that I stayed home the past week because I could not find the energy to move or do anything. I was probally already overworked when I started this challenge and expected way too much from myself.

What I'm going to do is analyse the situaltion, break the causes in small parts and find solutions for my problems. I will end this post with a plan for "week 2".

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 "𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐩"

☙ 𝟏. My biggest problem is that I value my results over my wellbeing. But because of that I feel so horrible that I am also not able to preform well. And that involves slowly into a burn-out.

What I will do is prioritise my goals my physical, mental & emtional goals. While slowly adding more other goals to work on. To help balance schoolwork & my wellbeing. I will make an overview the schoolwork that needs to be done weekly. Then I will decide what to do from that list when planning out my day, I will plan my studying sessions based off the time that I have to study that day. When I don't have the time to finish, I will let it go and do it another day. I will try to do as much work as possible on school days, but what I can't get done in that time, I will make in the weekend.

☙ 𝟐. I have the tendency to stress over the smallest thing, but I will nog give myself the space and time to process those. In my night/ evening routine I will add 10 minutes of non-stop writing. That way I can get my feeling out and if I notice that someting is really bothering me, I will take time for it the upcomming day.

☙ 𝟑. I will make time for a self care day. Saturday, after I return from work, I will make a nice lunch and drink for myself, read, take a bath and do fun things! (Like a mini movienight).

☙ 𝟒. Learn to let go! I have the ability to make myself so incredibly, by simply not leting go of the thing that do not serve me. I carry other people's trouble's, other people's expectations and lot's of other thingsI have no influence on. But even the things I have influence on, will not get better when I worry about it.

To let go, I must acknowledge what is bothering me and that stressing over it won't help me. Writing out my problem may help with this.

𝐌𝐲 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤

☙ The main focus for week 2 will be my physica, mental and emotional gaols:

♡ Physical I follow my weekly work out-plan. I eat healthy. I use my skincare consistantly. I go to bed before 10 pm.

♡ Mental I make time for self love. I plan out my day and follow my plan. I journal daily.

♡ Emotional I do the things that bring me happiness and fulfillment. I write the things that bother me down. I allow myself to feel my emotions fully.

I will accomplice these goals by panning my days around them.

☙ I want to go on a nature walk upcomming week. ☙ I plan out all the work i am supposed to do. ☙ I am productive in school. ☙ I start following my morning & night routines. ☙ I read when I'm bored.

Thank you sososo much for checking in with me, lovelies! ⚝☁ I hopefully see you next week! If you have any tips and/ or encouregement, pease do share. Bye bye ʕ•́ᴥ•̀ʔっ♡
