Life Update: Back to University

Hey, guys! It has been a week since I have started my new semester. Thruthfully, before I came back I had a mixed feelings. I wasn't so excited about knowing I have to go through all the hardship of studying, dealing with people and whatnot but now that I'm here I just realised I can't wait to start learning again. 

Alhamdulillah I still got accepted to college so I don't have to go through all the trouble to find a new accomodation. Although, this accomodation is off campus. I still have to take a bus ride to class and shopping mall. 

Previous semesters, it was kinda a mess because well, depression. I got distracted and went off the road but luckily for me, my CGPA is maintained but I feel like this semester I should really try to keep my targets and goals and stay focus. I know it's not easy dealing depression alone but I'll try my best not to let my depression gets to me, again (fingers crossed). 

Since I wasn't that busy during the first week, I started analysing the things I've done in the last semester so that I can discover what is needed to improved and maintain and what is to be done. It occurred to me that I have a bad finance management. 

For that, I started out by creating an expense tracker bullet journal! At first, I thought it might be easier if I could just track everything using an app or a spreadsheet. Then, I realised it is way too complicated when all I just wanted is just to track money. Somehow I stumbled upon expenses tracker bullet journal videos on Youtube. There are so many youtubers out there making videos on their expense tracker. From this, I started to watch a few and figure out which method works best for me. 


Mine is very simple because my goals is to keep track of in and out money and the balance therefore I wouldn't be overbudget or something. 


Next, I rarely decorate my study table. The last time I decorated it was when I was in my first semester. Then, my best friend suggested I should start doing again so that I will feel motivated and relax when studying. To be honest, I'm not that creative kind of person. I just printed a few good images and do some collage and doodle a bit. This is how it looks like in the end. It's minimal and star-constellation-planet theme. 
Please don't mind that beauty blender ðŸ˜‚


I printed out my skincare routine timetable so that I will not forget when to use mask and scrub my face. I know I'll be busy soon but taking care of my skin is super important so I guess why not? I got this from Instagram account named @kaymanbeauty. All credits to the owner because I'm way too lazy to make my own timetable. 

My printer's ink doesn't seems to come out tho

After seeing how helpful a bullet journal can be, I thought it might the time I should try doing doing it and see if it helps me be updated to my goals. If you guys wanna know more about bullet journal, there's a lot of videos about it on Youtube. 

I guess that's it. I will try to update this blog with more of product reviews. I've bought a few new products and I really can't wait to share it with you guys. Let's hope this semester doesn't kill me like the last time. 

xoxo,

Misna

Garnier Sakura White Serum Review! 🌸

Some of you might be wondering what is serum exactly. I don't want to go and explain about it in depth because I'm pretty sure you can just google it but basically serum is a skincare product that targets on specific skin concerns , eg: scar, acne, anti-ageing, etc.  Is it a must-have product? Not necessarily. Plus, it's usually more expensive.  When do you use it? Image credits to Woman'sDay I bought this on mid-July at Guardian for a price of RM 29.32 because there was a sale. You can check its price at Guardian's website . So, I've been using it for a month. I bought this because I don't have any serum yet in my skincare routine and my face has become suntanned and uneven skin tone as well so in hope this serum would help me with that. ~~~ BASIC INFORMATION ~~~ Product's name: Garnier Sakura White Pinkish Radiance Ultimate Serum Capacity: 50 ml ~~~ WHAT IT CLAIMS? ~~~ + more pinkish radiance + bouncier and ...

Basic Essential Programs for Student

Next week, I'll be starting my new semester. Goodbye home, goodbye long holidays! It's time to gear things up. The last week of holidays, I would usually spend on downloading animes, movies or dramas into my hard drive. I'd update my Spotify offline playlists ( yup, I'm running on premium account ) and also I would declutter my digital stuffs so basically I'm making my laptop ready for the new semester. Maybe I'll write another post on this so wait for it. I thought I'd share with you guys a few programs that I feel like it's super useful for students.  Evernote Windows Version Web Version  It's an amazing tool to organize and declutter your life.

So What's My Skin Care Product?

Searching for the perfect skin care products that matches your skin type can be very tricky. My journey to the perfect skin care products was quite long too. In fact, I still haven't found the perfect moisturiser for me. Nothing that really suitable for my oily skin. I have to admit, living with oily skin type can be a misfortune especially when the environment itself isn't compromising. Malaysia, hot and damp climate is really promoting my skin towards sweat, acne and all you could imagine. I remember getting my first cleanser at 10 years old. It was Clean&Clear and I don't think that version is available anymore. It was just okay for my skin and that was it. I didn't use anything else but just that. I didn't know what was toner or scrub. Nope. No knowledge of that at all. At 15, my mum introduced me to Sabun Pembersih Muka Tia Amelia ( pretty sure some of you know this! ). This one is a local product and it is still available till today....
