Working from home and trying not to turn into a slob. So today randomly, I just decided to put on a beauty face mask. Something that I've stashed away for a long time... why can't I pamper myself for absolutely no reason at all??

i've been doing little things to make my life a little easier, like leaving a bottle of water, iron supplements and some belvita soft bakes right by my bed so i always have breakfast, water and iron in the morning, and keeping a very condensed set of skincare stuff right by my toothbrush - it might not be as effective as having more but getting myself to use a cleanser, moisturising sunscreen and vaseline every day has already made my skin feel so much better which has just gotten me more excited to do my routine every day. plus, getting body sprays and haircare stuff and just products in general that you really like the smell of is a game changer because now i get to smell like pineapples and caramel every day! it's such little things but it makes me happy and keeps me doing a routine of things that are good for me :))

i actually did this a while back, and even starting to write it is a good way to start having this quality alone time. thinking about what you can include on the list is a way to understand yourself better, what you like to do on your free time and how you can make it enjoyable for you. even if you can't think of anything right away, it can become a list of things you'd like to experiment.
for me, personally, it helps because (1) i love making lists on itself, so, as i mentioned, just writing this one was a good start and (2) sometimes i'm bored and not sure how to fill my day and i can just check the list and remind myself of those activities that i thought about/experimented before and enjoyed my time while doing them, even the obvious ones can escape my mind!
here's a few things that i have on mine that maybe you'd like as well:
- think less, write more;
- move your body: learn a new choreography, exercise, get up and go around the house 15 times. don’t fight the urge to move, just do it!;
- take more pictures and revisit the good memories;
- draw what you see; the more mundane, the better;
- learn new words of a language, imagine a scenario where you’re actually using them;
- wash your face, use skincare products, stare at your beautiful face in the mirror for as long as you want.
these are the veeeery simple and general ones that you can do without spending any money or that you can do right when you feel like just doing something. they are basically ways to start. but you should definitely try to write things that are more personal and fun to you! :)

put on a cute outfit that i like and go look at books in a bookshop with no plan on buying anything. take myself to dinner in a sit-down restaurant after, then head home and relax with a cup of tea. music in my headphones during all of it, probably a mix of sad and more upbeat stuff.
that’s the closest thing i have to a cure-all right there.

Honestly very hard for me to get into - I have ZERO coding knowledge and nothing I could really latch onto - knowledge transfer is how I learn. But https://futurecoder.io/ is great (after lots of Redditing)

The puffin is the latest addition to more than 180 known species—many of them sharks, corals, and other marine animals—that emit a luminous glow.
The fact that so many marine animals biofluoresce "tells us organisms are using light in ways we don't even see," John Sparks, curator of fishes at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City.

I read that happiness is when your expectations falls below the reality. A new mind project for April. Good prognosis.
