MY SELF CARE ROUTINE *preparing for exam week* | STUDY VLOG & DISTRESSING

Hey guys, welcome to today's video. Today's video I'm going to show you guys my self-care reset routine while prepping for exams. We have a lot of exams coming up in the next couple of days also, so we'll be studying for that. This is what my Sundays look like when I just want to have a good day because the rest of the week has just been so stressful. And I'll be honest, I don't normally make my bed every day, but there's something about having a maid bed that really does make you feel like you have your life together. It's important to set aside one day where you get to really spend some quality time with yourself and do things that you don't normally get to do on an everyday basis. So that's like watering your plants, doing a face mask, watching your favorite movie. Some time to yourself is always important, otherwise constant stress on your body can easily lead to burnout. Today's Sunday, and this is kind of like my Sunday reset routine. This is my Sunday cram day where I study for all my exams. I have an exam tomorrow, so a majority of today is just going to go to studying for that. But I also want to get other things done, like little things, so I'm going to the gym right now. And I base my gym, like the days I go to the gym, off of my hair. I feel like other people can relate, especially if your hair is like dyed. After that, I do need to make some breakfast. It's a long day, but I think we're going to be fine. This video is sponsored by Karev. Karev is a subscription service that ships high quality, personalized vitamins to your door every month. I ended up taking a short quiz about my health goals so I could receive personalized recommendations based on my answers. I've been taking my Karev supplements for about two weeks now, and I like to do this before I get my day started, that way that I can take in some of the benefits that they provide. The four healthcare goals that I ended up choosing to focus on was limiting stress, immunity, energy, and sleep. Because in college, we all know those are like the four things that we are always struggling with. Karev ended up sending me personalized supplements that I would use for the next 30 days. These are the specific supplements that they sent over to me, and as you can see, there is a purpose for each that contributes to my health goals. Comes with two multivitamins plus iron to cover nutrient gaps. And then they also sent over a whey protein, which you can pretty much use in a lot of different things like smoothies, oatmeal, it's very multifunctional, and that also serves as a purpose to cover nutrient gaps. One thing that I think is really cool about Karev and that I love about them is that their personalized packs are actually made from plant-based compostable film that includes wood pulp and fermented blend of corn, cassava roots, and sugarcane, so you can feel good about the impact of the vitamins, not only your health but also on the planet. Take Karev's quiz to figure out what's recommended for you. You guys can use my code that will be up on the screen for 50% off your first order. If you're someone who is looking to start taking supplements or is interested in focusing more on your health goals, I think this is a really great way to start that journey. In my case, I really didn't know where to start, but I knew that I wanted to focus on certain things when it came to my health, and I think Karev was an easy and helpful way for me to be able to start that process. Make sure to visit all the links in my description box so you guys can try out Karev. What protein to this? This is the one sent by Karev, and it's chocolate-flavored with other natural flavors. If you like to go to the gym a lot, this is an easy way to get in your protein, especially with oatmeal. You can just mix it in, and it kind of just adds flavor to oatmeal because oatmeal is pretty plain. It also comes with a little scooping thing, which I thought was so cute. Also, almond butter is pretty much a must in all of my oatmeal. I get this one from Target, and it's not that expensive because I know almond butter can be really expensive. Makeup, but if you guys want an updated makeup tutorial, I've been wanting to do one for quite some time where I get to like chit-chat with you guys and talk about life updates, college, comment that down below. For right now, I'm just going to throw on some L'Oreal True Match Nude Hyaluronic Tinted Serum, which is really good on my skin because obviously it has hyaluronic acid in it, and also it just gives a nice like tint to the skin, evens out my skin tone, especially when it's like really red like this right now. Okay, so I'm back at 27, 17. Sun's going down. I'm trying to keep my nerves and my stress levels calm. I feel very overwhelmed and like stressed out because this last month of this semester is just stressful. I have two exams this week, and then like an eight-page single-space essay due, and like another week after that, another essay due, and then more exams. Like, I don't know. I'm trying to like get my life together, and then on top of that, wanting to go to social events, and then also taking care of family. There's just so much that you have to think about. Like, how do you juggle all of that at once? How do you remember to do stuff and keep a routine when there's just a lot going on? The main thing to take away from that is know that you're not alone. I find comfort in that, to be honest, sometimes. I want to pop in here really quickly because I felt like that little point of me stressing out, the wave of stress, just really was kind of, it brought down the mood a little bit. Problem with my videos lately, or at least I feel like I haven't been really liking, is that my mood or things I've been saying have been kind of down, and it has to do a lot with the fact that my videos surround school, and school is very stressful. In that moment where I was recording, I was just having like a mental breakdown, and I felt like everything was going wrong. In reality, I've had so many more better days. I think about so many things that I have like to be grateful for, and I just try to look at life in a positive way. I have beautiful people in my life. I'm experiencing things that some people don't get to, and I should feel like blessed for that, and I do feel blessed for that. What I'm trying to say here is that there are more better days than tough ones. I'm gonna make some dinner right now. I'm hungry, and I think it'll brighten the mood a bit. Guys, it got so hot in here. My face got all greasy and oily. Huh. Since a good portion of this video was dedicated to studying for my upcoming exams, I thought I would show you what an actual exam day looks like. Prior to heading to my first class of the day, which is business writing, I studied for some of my business calculus exam, which would be my next class. Then after my class, I didn't have enough time to walk home to take my exam, so I ended up taking it at the library in this little desk area, which I thought was so cute, because I never knew that these existed here. And I'm not gonna lie, I didn't feel best about this exam after, but I honestly know that I tried my best, and at the end of the day, that's all that matters.
