Self Care Apppointment Recommendations?
I remember seeing a list of different self care appointments that girl could schedule as like a bi weekly, monthly type of thing and I can't find it anywhere! So I'm hoping I can find some help!
I want to start making myself more of a priority as I feel that it will definitely kickstart some good self love and self care habits that'll help me feel better about myself mentally and physically. I want to put money into myself, my health, and my appearance.
Things I already know about and am looking into:
nail appointments
lash extensions
getting my hair cut/colored/done
workout/pilates classes
But what else? Of course I'm going to budget for these appointments and whatnot but I can't think of anything else?? I'm looking for different self care/beauty upkeep ideas!!
Please leave me some recommendations for different types of things I can purchase/do!! it would be so helpful. My brain doesn't let me think half the time, so that's why I come here so often!
Thanks in advance lovelies ๐ฉท
April 1st, 2025 ๐
April already? Time is flying, I feel like we barely entered 2025 and now it's April? Feels unreal almost.
I have no work today, so I'm going to spend as much time as I can on stuff that I really need and really want to do! I've done pretty good at getting stuff done lately, especially with school stuff, so I really want to keep that sort of momentum going to try and be more successful as the school semester comes to an end.
Todo Today (April 1st) โจ๏ธ
wash dishes ๐ซง
put away clean laundry ๐
wash bedding ๐งผ
clean room ๐งน
clean cat litter box ๐ฑ
take out trashes ๐
complete assignment 6 for one of my online classes ๐ป
complete chapter 10 notes for exercise physiology โ๏ธ
complete chapter 9 notes for health psychology โ๏ธ
complete assignment 10.2 for exercise physiology ๐ป
make study quizlet for health psychology
make study quizlet for exercise physiology
make a grocery list to order ๐
daily journaling ๐
read 1 chapter of Attached ๐
night time shower + skincare ๐ฟ
stretch and/or light plates workout ๐ช
Seems like a lot at first glance, but I have all day to do this stuff, so I definitely have the means to get it all done.
What I Did Yesterday (March 31st) ๐
completed chapter 9 quiz for exercise physiology
worked on chapter 10 notes for exercise physiology
completed assignment 10.1 for exercise physiology
washed a load of laundry
dropped off two packages at the post office
finished paying off my rent
worked from 230pm to 945pm
I feel like that's a good amount of stuff to have gotten done yesterday, given I really wasn't feeling like doing much. Work had been so tiring lately, I'm almost glad the semester is ending because of the toll that work is taking on me physically now. On the bright side, I should be getting promoted in April, so hopefully, things ease up once that happens.
I want to start studying languages again, and of course I'm stuck between my favorite three: Spanish, Korean, or Japanese. I have lots of Japanese study resources, I live in a high population of Spanish speakers, and I listen to lots of music and media in Korean. Which one(s) do I start with to ease back into it? Pick one? All three? Help a girl out!!

Daily Check-in - July 27, 2023 ๐
Today was easier than yesterday, but I am still so sleepy and tired. I have to work a full shift tomorrow AND Saturday on top of my weekend chores so I'm hoping to take Sunday as a full self care day! Fingers crossed!!
๐ฉท What I Ate Today:
Breakfast - One slice of toast with mashed avocado, paprika, a fried egg, and a side of watermelon, and one cup of coffee.
Lunch - ground beef burrito bowl with black beans, shredded cheese, chopped iceberg lettuce, sour cream, salsa, and a low carb tortilla.
Dinner - One plate of spaghetti with meat marinara sauce, grated parmesean cheese, and two pieces of buttered bread
Other - One cup of coffee with French vanilla creamer
Water ~ 30oz I just forgot to drink water today, but using my water bottle has gotten easier and helped me drink more during the work day.
I didn't feel like snacking much today, and I couldn't finish my lunch, but I am very satisfied with my intake today! I love eating healthier and listening to my body. I do track what I eat, but I make sure it's food I like! Given my past, I can't do restrictions, so I choose to honor my wants in a way that works towards my goals and nourishes both my mind and body.
๐ฉท Workout - Upper Body Pilates (ish)
This one was really good! It was my first time trying it and it had my arms burning in a good way. I really enjoyed it, and I totally recommend. This is definitely going to be a regular of mine! 10/10
This one has been a favorite for a few years, I absolutely love the way it makes my arms feel. The movements are easy and effective, and leave me sore in a good way. Absolutely my favorite lean arms workout, hands down! 11/10
๐ฉท Habits I Completed Today:
Made my bed
Morning & Night Skincare
Morning & Night Guided Journal
Read 1 Chapter of a book
Workout
I forgot to do my mediation and stretching, and I didn't meet my hydration goal, but I'm taking every day in stride and doing what my energy allows me to accomplish. I believe in self compassion and flexibility in routine, especially given how my energy fluctuates on a daily basis. However, I am definitely doing the full habits list tomorrow, I'm going to challenge myself to accomplish every daily goal I have for myself!
๐ฉท Song of The Day: Eleven - IVE
This song makes me feel like a badass princess who deserves only the highest level of princess treatment. It's hard to describe how feminine and girly this song makes me feel, even on my most tomboyish, sweaty work days. An absolute bop!!
๐ฉท Current Read: Atomic Habits by James Clear
Tomorrow, I can do this. I can meet my goals, all of them. It'll take some effort, but I have faith in myself. Once I get the ball rolling, it's just a matter of forward motion with accomplishing each of my goals. I can't wait!!
I also need to budget for next Saturday, as I'm going shopping for some new clothes before my university opens back up for the fall semester. If I'm gonna feel my best, I'm going to look my best too! I'm really hoping to get a few new dresses, accessories (like hair stuff, pantyhose, jelwery, purses, etc), shoes, and maybe some tops and skirts too depending on what the store has. I love shopping, so I'm super excited!!!
Til tomorrow, my lovelies!! <3
Did not do these yesterday as I did indeed stay for a double shift at my job, so these are my todo for when I get home from work today, 9/29/24!
To Do Today 9/28/24
I was supposed to work a long double shift today at my normal job and then a kinda side job task that involves talking to a ton of people and being out late at night. I've decided I'm going to tell my bosses I can't do it, because the anxiety I've felt about doing it has made me thrown up already ๐
so here's the stuff I am going to do today:
pre lab 24 chemistry
pre lab 25 chemistry
chemistry lecture quiz
catch up on chem lecture notes
catch up on psyc lecture notes
catch up on accounting lecture notes
complete other intro to business assignments
study japanese
study for TEAS exam
It sounds like a lot, but honestly, it should not take me all night to do all these things so I'll be fine, as long as I get then done!
see you in the update later, lovelies ๐ฉท
March 29, 2025 ๐
Last night, I was decently productive to the point where I was actually proud of what I was able to accomplish. It was a nice feeling. I'm still grappling with the thoughts of what to do in regards to continuing my education, if I go the community college (Medical Assisting) route or continue with my university (Nutrition and Dietetics), despite the possible financial issues I'll be facing.
What I Accomplished Yesterday (March 28th) โจ๏ธ
did a hydrating face mask (it was amazing)
washed and put away a load of laundry
paid my rent
wrote out some chapter 8 notes + chapter 8 vocabulary notes for health and exercise psychology
wrote out a solid chunk of my chapter 9 notes for exercise physiology (need to finish chapter 9 and start chapter 10 asap, but that's what I get for being 2 chapters behind)
journaled about some stuff going on in my head (mostly the continuing education stuff that's been plaguing my thoughts)
studied/did schoolwork for a total of 122 minutes
looked at potential classes I could take + other options for switching to the community college here in town
Yesterday was definitely a decent day in terms of stuff I was able to get done, but I also know I slacked off A LOT. More than I am comfortable with having slacked off. I'm slowly getting back into my school grind mindset, especially with the semester coming to an end soon. I really want to get my grades back up where I need them to be and end the semester on a high note, with a good GPA and a sense of pride in knowing I tried.
Todo Today (March 29th) ๐ท
work on (and finish) chapter 9 notes for exercise physiology โ๏ธ
begin chapter 10 notes for exercise physiology โ๏ธ
complete assignment chapter 9.1 for exercise physiology ๐ป
complete assignment chapter 9.2 for exercise physiology ๐ป
order necessities from the store ๐งป
work 9am to 3pm โ๏ธ

wash dishes ๐ซง (the sink is full, and I don't like it)
tidy up around my bedroom ๐งน
night time skincare + shower ๐ฟ
make my to-do list for tomorrow โจ๏ธ
My goal is to get all of this done today, and I have a strong feeling I'll be successful as long as I keep my head in the game and remember that I have priorities and things need to get done. If I don't do the things, then the things don't get done, and I can't have that.

Thank you lovelies <3
Mini Check In August 19, 2023 ๐
So I haven't gotten tested because it's the weekend for me, but based on my current symptoms, there's a good chance I have the vid-19. Which is really not fun, but at least I've been dealing with it a bit. I left work early on Friday and am not able to work today thru Monday, which could potentially cost me my job, but fingers crossed.
I am currently looking to apply for a different job on my university campus, and I already know I'll get the job after I apply (my way of manifesting, lol). It'll be nice to do something a little different than my current job, for sure.
I'm going to try to get back to my regularly scheduled posts and routines as soon as I find myself in better health. I feel bad not posting, but I've also been resting a ton to try and heal faster. But yeah, I currently feel like -12/10 in gems of physical health.
Fingers crossed, I'm better by Tuesday! I have my first cooking class on Tuesday evening, so hopefully I am better and can attend because the professor for that class is amazing!
Also, thank you guys for 150+ followers! Just a few weeks ago, when I started taking my blog seriously, I only had 7 followers so having over 150 now is incredible! I appreciate all of you so much <333
That's all for today! Til next time, lovelies!! ๐ฉท
April 7th, 2025 ๐
My brain did not let me study or do much this weekend and it was seriously bugging me, but I'm trying not to beat myself up about it because it was that time of month and lately it has been messing with me hard whenever it's that time of month. Plus, work was really tiring this weekend and I've been a little stressed out about some things.
What I Accomplished (April 6th) ๐
completed and passed a quiz for one of my online classes
worked 9am to 3pm
took a 40 min nap on the couch
worked on my study guide for health psychology for ~10min
chatted with my roommates for a while
Not the most productive day yesterday, but it was not a bad day. I was super tired and anxious yesterday, but I had a decent day regardless.
Todo Today (April 7) โจ๏ธ

I have a couple of small projects coming due next week, and some assignments that need completing later this week. It's lock in time now that the semester is almost over.
