Back to School Resource Masterpost

Hi everyone! It's that time of year again, back-to-school and all the excitement of learning new things, along with the stress and anxiety that inevitably occurs. I've been on Tumblr for longer than I'd like to admit, and have compiled a long list of resources below!

Please note that I did my absolute best to find the original links to all of these posts, but many of them are 4+ years old and the users have changed blog names/deleted. If any of the links don’t work, or there is a link to an original post which I am missing, please let me know! Many of the master posts have dead links so if you find any updated resources please feel free to add on :)

what i've learned from one year in uni

...as a humanities student focussing on languages and history.

do all your readings at least a week in advance. honestly a lifesaver. make a list of the readings you'll need to have done for the next week and divvy them up along the current week.

annotate your readings. either by hand, or download them, import to a pdf annotation app (or just google drive) and make comments/highlight important parts,

don't sign up for early or late classes, especially if you're a commuter. i signed up for a 9-11 AM class and a 6-8 PM class and they were both hell even if I enjoyed the material. Don't do it.

join the class group chat. if there isn't one, make one. you might not think you need it, but you do, you really do.

if you can't get yourself to do the whole reading, read the first sentence of every paragraph. listen, we've all been there when the reading is 36 pages and you're just not feeling it. most well-written academic articles start with a topic sentence that will give you a sense of the general direction of the work, so skimming the first sentence of each paragraph can actually equip you better than nothing for your discussions.

the syllabus is your bible. read it THOROUGHLY at the beginning of term and reference it CONSTANTLY.

skip lectures. NEVER skip tutorials. it's better to not skip lectures either but sometimes they're just not helpful. but ALWAYS go to tutorial.

find out your task capacity and worship it. i can't allocate myself a certain number of hours of work a day because sometimes i can work for 10 hours and sometimes i can barely focus for two. however, i can generally manage around 5 academic tasks a day. so I'll allocate myself two readings, an outline, a draft and a note-taking session and that works pretty well for me.

Quick ADHD and study tips:

- Do the minimum. Don't do any more than the school expects you to do. Don't overwork yourself trying to become an expert on every topic ever, making every project a perfect masterpiece.

-> "I'll just do this quickly" method - Do the minimum. What's the least you can do for this topic, the easiest, most minimalist, "laziest" solution possible? Do it. It helps to get started. (exactly what I did here)

- Adjust your routine to a radio's broadcasting schedule (it's background music and "company", aka. chatter in the background)

- Pomodoro timers are too hard to reach from YouTube, here, an extension. (It plays white noise, and makes me miss the sound of rain in the breaks XD)

- Switch from Word to a notepad, a colored paper, google translator, a tumblr draft, etc., write your essay there.

- Water reminder.

- Too tired to design a PPT: SlidesGo Templates

- Too tired for grammar: Grammarly (or ProWritingAid)

- Too tired for words: Wordtune and Wordtune Read

- This grades essays, this estimates reading time

- This for grammar check, this is for synonyms, acronyms, and everything, this for idioms.

- Set BeLineReader to something colorful (space colors ✨)

- Write it in memes (see the first part of this post), use emojis, make memes, use meme language, edit it like a tumblr post with highlights, side notes, pictures, colors, etc.

- Tell it to someone. There was a history topic I very much disliked until I started to read it, and man, it was hilarious. The warlords made the worst decisions possible! Of course, I told my brother about it.

Look at it as a masterpiece or look at it as a ridiculously bad movie, it will get better. (This goes for literature, history, etc. - why not "make it" into a soap opera? XD)

- Do it while you wait for something. The water to boil, the baguettes to bake, someone to answer your message. And in the meantime, do something.

- For revisions: Loop a song. One topic-one song. Then you switch the song, next topic. It's even better if the songs are from completely different genres.

- Have a list of stuff you have to do. An optional list. If you can tick off one, you're good. Leave your accomplishments.

[Stuff like, 'write a poem', 'make cocoa', 'sing,' but also, 'eat breakfast normally' and 'write that English essay'.]

(-> Computer "gadgets" (idk what are they called in English) -> set tiny slideshows, and bamm, little reminders that are always visible! I made the text in Ipiccy, the to-do list in paint)

[ID: A partial screenshot of my tumblr, with the two gadgets on it, displaying two small pictures, one is a color gradient text on a black background that reads "keep on going", the other is a bit messy to-do list with check squares and simple text on a white background / end of ID]

How to remember anything?/learn stuff

Create (write a poem, make memes, try reading it out loud, but singing, act it out XD - the possibilities are endless!)

Bee dance ("write down" the letters of the word or numbers of the date walking around)

Make it touchable (form the numbers/letters from plasticine, sticks, gravel, ketchup, candy, shoes, or anything, really) -> Morse / ASL (knock, clap, or sign the numbers/letters)

Tell it in different styles, on different levels (to a kid, to your dog, to your plant. "Emotionally" as if you were telling some outrageous news, or as if it was the greatest thing in the world! It's ridiculous, it's nonsense! It's so stupid, it's brilliant! It's tragic, actually. Tell it professionally, as if you knew what you're talking about, like some sassy professor. Tell it as if it happened next door, as if you were some old folk telling it to the children (the good ol' times!), tell it like a bored weather forecaster, present it like in some tv ad!)

Learn it at places (literally, bring your book/little paper to a corner of the house, or out to the park. It's a bit like the mind palace method, "hmm, yes, 1945, the blue shower gel bottle, "amygdala" is in the fridge, and Thales' Theorem is right under the bed.")

The mind palace method, but place the data on a picture (take a picture, a stock photo, anything, and write dates/words at different places)

Speed run (set a timer, it can be Pomodoro, and do what you have to do on max speed. Yes, you got x minutes to sit at this one spot in the bathroom and memorize these words, drink tea, and take out the trash! The clock is ticking! It's adrenalin rush!)

Tie it up with the senses (pick a color/palette, a taste, a smell, a feel, a texture, a style, etc. for each topic you can recall later. Chew a specific tasted gum while studying, chew the same taste while writing the test. Spray a perfume, set your desktop/phone background to a picture that fits the mood, set the lights, surround yourself with a specific texture, create a mood.)

Make a cheat sheet (write it in a "compressed format," so only you can understand it, and it takes up the least place possible. Tiny drawings, reminders. The point is not to have the information but to have a safe reminder in your pocket, you can reach out to. You may not even need to use it.)

Have water and sleep (yup, a dehydrated brain can't think, and our brains process information while in REM sleep - a sleep cycle calculator)

Play card games, Activity (do you know the board game "Activity?" Or twenty questions? There are also a bunch of card games [mainly played with French cards] where you have to yell words and smash cards and each other's hands. Well, why not rewrite the game with the words/dates/phrases you need to memorize? Even better if you play it with people who study the same thing as you.)

So, that's it for now. I hope I helped some! :D

...hey

i wanted to take a moment to thank you for the love on my last post. as you seem to like it, i’ve decided to start doing more “educational” posts. i do have some ideas but if you’d like me to write about a specific topic (it can be related to astrology, spirituality, wicca, paganism, art or any other thing you come up with).

a beginner's guide to astrology, from a beginne

in today’s post you will learn about:

- your natal chart

- planets

- the signs archetypes

a natal chart is a screenshot of the sky when you're born. each planet will be in a different position and the combination of each planet and where it is will give off an energy that will be "stamped" to you. so, planets. the planets we use in astrology are all of those in the solar system, including the sun, the moon and pluto. each planet represents something different and have many interpretations but here's a quick summary:

the sun is the center of all. it's your ego and you in your purest self

the moon is your emotions and your heart

mercury: is how you communicate, how you learn, teach, and express yourself

venus is how you love and how you receive love

mars is anger, fury and passion

jupiter is your luck and fortune. it is also heavily associated with growth and expansion

saturn is your limits (think about the rings and how they can symbol a restriction). it's also how you discipline yourself and how you deal with responsibilities

uranus is everything unusual. your uniqueness and rebellion.

naptune is your imagination and dreams

pluto symbolizes rebirth and transformation. spiritually, it is also associated with death and the unknown.

finally, your rising sign is the point exactly above you when you were born. in your chart, it represents your appearance. it's like the mask you put on. when someone first meets you, they might think your sun sign is your rising but as they get to know you they will see your sun sign be more relevant.

there are some other aspects of the chart but i think those are the most important because now that you know what each planet means, you can google the sign that is on each planet and relate the characteristics of each sign to each planet. if you want to, you can send me your chart and i can explain it to you the best i can (to know your chart you'll need to know your exact birth time. this is the website that i use to do them https://www.astro.com/ )

as you might already know, each sign is connected with stereotypes. please please pleaaase ignore them!! they are the stupidest things ever and will only confuse you. one thing you should pay attention to are each signs archetypes. archetypes are neutral characteristics of each sign. they are also ancient and go back to ancient greese. here are each signs archetypes:

aries: they are warriors, knights and leaders. bold, daring, protective, corageous

taurus: they are earth lovers. persistent, determined, strong, comfort oriented, patient

gemini: they are jesters, acrobats. intelligent, funny, communicative, entertaining, poetic, tricky

cancer: they are mothers, guardians, nurturers. protective, supportive, intuitive, sensitive, creative.

leo: they are performers, heroes. radiant, confident, joyful, charismatic, expressive.

virgo: they are mentors, teachers. humble, analytical, intelligent, precise, practical, detail-oriented.

libra: they are diplomats, lawmakers (fun fact aoc is a libra). they are charming, sophisticated, persuasive, just.

scorpio: they are detectives, sorcerers. deep, fierce, magnetic, intelligent

sagittarius: they are explorers, philosophers. optimistic, humorous, blunt, restless, philosophical

capricorn: they are the fathers, rulers and advisors. structured, organized, traditional, sarcastic, efficient

aquarius: they are scientists and creators. unique, intellectual, intuitive, cosmic, rebellious (think galileo!), independent.

pisces: they are mystics and artists. dreamy, sensitive, emotional, poetic, cryptic, oceanic

i'll tell you a bit about my birth chart: i have a scorpio sun. scorpios are water signs and their ruling planets are mars and pluto. scorpios are highly emotional and stereotypically very secretive i have aquarius rising. i usually look like the odd one out. i stand out easily because i have very varied style. one day i look like a punk from the 80s and the next i look like a hippie from the 70s. my moon is in aries and its the thing i like the least from my chart lol. my emotions are always at their peak and im constantly on edge. i have veeery quick mood swings so i love to blame all of that on having a fire sign ruling my emotions.

thank you for reading :) if you have any questions feel free to leave them on my ask box, i’ll respond as soon as i can. if i made any mistakes please let me know so i can fix them. i’d love to hear your opinions on the signs and planets so share them with me if you want to!!

i hope you have a wonderfull day xx

commitment

there's this boy.

he's tall and he's got the most beautiful brown curls, his eyes are pools of sunshine and his smile can light up a room. cliche, i know. he treats me like no other and i feel safe when he's around; his mother adores me and my dad is kinda proud. we've been talking for a year now, face timing every day. once we were on call for 6 hours straight, it was great. see i talk about this boy, the one i know so well, but there's something between me and what could happen next. my heart belongs to him, there's no doubt of that, but i can't help to think about the possible aftermath.

what would my parents say? what would his friends think? am i ready to do this, or am i too naive?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

hello dear reader! what you just read is a little poem i just wrote about a situation i'm currently in. we all got our commitment issues so if you're dealing with your own, i encourage you to vent in my ask box (anonymously or not, as you wish) and get everything off your chest. if you liked my poem, i also encourage you to reblog and send it to someone you know that might be going through the same thing. please consider following me and checking out my previous posts to go along with me on my journey i hope you have a wonderfull week!

routines

i’m not a routine-y person, at least i don’t think i am. but i really want to be. i want to be a peacefull being that wakes up at 9am on weekends and has a consistent morning routine. i want to take advantage of every day and do what i want to do but for some reason it’s so hard. i can’t do what i want to do and it’s tearing me apart. is it because i dont try hard enough? should i give up?

as you might know, i’m moving cities. i live in a small town and i’m going to the big city, 2000km away from here in 4 short days. it’s a big change, i know. but i’m hoping that a change in atmosphere will help me make other good changes. like working out, having a morning/night routine and being better at school.

a new start

i move in exactly two weeks. im terrified.

i live in a small town next to the sea. i’ve lived here for as long as i remember. i can walk pretty much everywhere, i know where most thigs are, it’s pretty safe and it’s just familiar. this small town has been home to me all my life and so have the people here. not only my friends, everyone. the lady that works in the corner store that always advices me to stop drinking energy drinks, that one cashier at the super market who has the warmest smile and the girl at the ice cream shop who always asks how your day is.

small town joys.

i’m moving to the walmart version of new york. i’m going to be living in a nice area, pretty far from down town so a bit more quiet. i haven’t seen my future home yet, but im told its nice. many of my friends that i rarely see will live near me.

to be honest, i’m exited. i’m always up for adventure and this is a big one. i’m moving to a nice place, going to a great school and learn so many new things. i’ll have so many new opportunities to develop myself as an artist and as a person.

i’m terrified, i’m exited. my stomach is filled with butterflies and they’ll soon be a zoo. i don’t know what to do but it doesn’t matter because everything going all around me is bigger than myself.

what i want you to know

my name is ema, im 16 years old (my pronounsh are she/they) and in a few weeks, i’ll move from a small town to the biggest city in my country. as if that wasnt enough, i’ll be going to one of the top schools here, i dont even know how i got in if im being honest.

i’ve never been amazing at school thanks to a crippling case of undiagnosed adhd but i enjoy learning so i’m hoping that i’ll be able to do that this year. covid kicked my butt so i just want to get back up and enjoy what i have to do.

the purpose of this blog is to document the journey of my last two years of high school, not only academically but also emotionally. i wish that those who find this piece of my mind feel welcomed, accepted and understood.

here i will share more of me than anywhere else. those who find this will read my thoughts as i feel them. i’ll share my poems, drawings and music.

if you’re reading this, stick around. we’ll get through this together.

Types of Witches & Witchcraft

What is a Witch? A witch can never be truly defined. It is a broad term used to describe a variety of people each of which follow their own paths with no two truly alike.

Types of Witches

Kitchen Witch: (Cottage witch, Hearth witch) Works mainly within the home. Cares for the house and the family inside it. Prepares the meals and adds there own special magick to it. Provides the home with protection and keeps the house clean.

Green Witch: Works with nature. Includes working with plants, nature deities, herbal remedies, earth, crystals, and faeries. Incorporates nature deities in their craft such as Pan, Demeter, Epona, Gaia etc.

Eclectic Witch: Creates their own practice based on information and traditions borrowed from different practices and religions in. In order to create a path that works best for them. (Make sure you are not stealing from closed religions!)

Elemental Witch: A witch that works with the elements (water, earth, fire, air) in their day to day practices.

Hereditary Witch: A witch that is born into a family of practitioners. They create and continue their families rituals and ceremonies. They commonly have a family grimoire or book of shadows that they pass down through generations.

Sea Witch: A witch that uses the sea and its materials in their practice. Gets their power from the seas energy. Incorporates shells, salt, saltwater, driftwood, etc into their practices. Works with deities such as Poseidon, Njörðr, Neptune, etc.

Solitary Witch: A witch who prefers to practice on their own.

Faerie Witch: Someone who works in peace and harmony with the Fae. They take great care of their garden, place offerings out for the Faerie, and make them feel welcome and at peace.

Cosmic Witch: One who works with the stars, moon, sun, etc.

Urban Witch: A witch that lives in the city and uses the objects they find for their practice. They come up with creative ways to garden on there small patio and store things in the little space they have.

Pop Culture Witch: A witch who incorporates characters and ideas from movies, TV shows, and books into their practice.

Science Witch: Science witches are basically witches who incorporate the scientific method and ideology into their craft. In my experience no science witch is alike since each individual has their specific idea of how the relationship between science and magic works. A large part of being a science witch seems to be the belief in the placebo effect in relationship between the spellcaster and the spell. Science witchcraft is kind of a blurred line between the laws of science and the known universe and the realm of magic and the laws we can’t see. We believe in the possibility of a crossover between the two and embrace it and use it to our advantage in our craft. Taking into consideration the effect science has on the magic we are using and sometimes crediting the spell result partially to magic and partially to science - sometimes even considering the same thing. -This definition is from @drinkthemoonlight, Very appreciated, Thank you so much! -

Druidism: A Celtic, nature based religion that works with Mother Earth.

Wiccan: A religion that follows it’s own set of rules and guidelines. Such as the three fold law and “hurt none and do what ye will.”

Pagan: A religion that works closely with nature and it’s deities.

This list barely covers the different types of witches but it is all I can think of for the moment. I will be updating soon.

May the moon light your path!

Witch Tips for City Witches

City Witch Tips for all of my fellow witches stuck in apartments, dorms or other city areas.

If you can’t burn incense you can make your own sprayable incense by mixing alcohol (usually vodka or rubbing) with essential oils and a bit of oil, spray in the air to act like incense

If you are unable to go outside for whatever reason to get rain water (in my case just no where to collect it safely), fill a jar or glass with regular water and keep it near a cracked window to charge it with the wind, sound and scent of the rain outside. Same goes for storm water

Trapped in city and unable to get ocean water? Sea salt mixed with rain/storm water can be an excellent substitute

To continue on with water substitutes, if you can’t collect snow crushed ice from your fridge will suffice

Low key warding/protection you can use: spray moon water, salt water or sprayable incense about your apartment or dorm, place sigils under doormats, furniture, inside cupboards, etc; place crystals about hidden or out in the open, sweep and dust out the door or towards windows

If you need melted wax to seal a jar or for any other magical purpose, but can’t burn candles, by a wax melter and melt that wax and imagine the light from the burner acting like a flame (plus they are rather cheap, I got mine for 25 bucks)

Need stars in your craft but too much light pollution? Glow in the dark stars on your ceiling or wall can work just as well for visualization. Print out pictures of your favorite constellations or planets and place them up on your walls or on your altar. Live video feed of the night sky can also be easily found on the internet

Bath magic is amazing for low-key ‘in the woods’ witches. Use teas, milk, oils, herbs, bath bombs, bubble baths, salts, etc that relate to your intent. It is also a good place to meditate if you have roommates or family around that would disturb you otherwise

If you do for whatever reason need to burn a candle, birthday candles are small, melt fast, and don’t create a lot of smoke or smokey scent

Sigils are another great low-key form of magic. To boost them up, use color magic related to the color you draw them in, write them using quills made of feathers related to your intent, use colored paper, rub a drop of essential oil on them, charge them with crystals or in your windowsill

You don’t have to burn sigils to activate them, which is hardly an option when you are in a dorm or apartment. Other options are: Shredding them, erasing them, soaking them in a bath or shower, using body heat or your own pulse, etc

Miss having the outdoors and plants around? Windowsill gardens can really help. Small plants you can consider keeping in your windowsill or counter-tops: succulents, cacti, bamboo, lemongrass, basic, rosemary, mint, rosemary, mosses, aloe, snake plant, pothos (and other vines), carrots, beets, shallots, lettuce, spinach, garlic, chives, parsley, oregano, thyme, and marigold

Open your window to let the wind and air from outside to help energize you and clear out negative energies inside

Fun places to put sigils: under furniture, carved into soap, onto shampoo/conditioner bottles, on your make up, inside phone cases, in shoes, under bandages, sewn into pillow cases and blankets, behind pictures in frames, underside of nail polish, carved into wax squares for your wax melter, keys and keychains, behind mirrors or in medicine cabinets, on bookmarks, on or in binders and pencil cases, on medicine bottles, and water bottles/travel mugs

Easy to make and dispose of poppets: carrot sticks (one of my personal favorites), apples or other fruit, clothe, paper, popsicle sticks, paper towels/napkins, toilet paper rolls, eggs, celery stocks, and cotton balls

The internet is an amazing thing. Need some sounds to help you focus or meditate? Easily look up the sounds of rain, storms, wind, ocean waves, jungles, forests, etc

Christmas lights are fun and great way to use discrete witchcraft. Select ones in the colors you wish for them to bring ie green for growth, yellow for inspiration, white for protection, purple for psychic abilities, etc.

Some everyday things you can use for discrete witchcraft that don’t cost much at all or that you most likely already have: water, table salt, black pepper, paper, crayons/pencils/pens/markers, vinegar, milk, tea, highlighters, make up and beauty supplies, shampoo and conditioner, rubber bands, paperclips, thumbtacks, computer/phone/tablet, music/music player, playing cards, dice, air freshener, perfumes, toothpaste, rice, flour, sugar, honey, and all kitchen herbs and seasonings.

Can’t afford gemstones or crystals on college budget? Crackle and dyed quartz you can find super cheap at craftstores and online. I bought a whole bag for 4 bucks. Use them based on their colors and shapes. Can’t afford that but still want to use rocks in your craft? Find some rocks you like outside, again use their colors and shapes to determine their correspondences. Want to use them for a specific purpose? Paint sigils on them in the color that corresponds with what you want! Charge them in your windowsill or with your own energy and intent. There you go!

Pocket mirrors are cheap, easy to carry around and great for glamours and on the go magic.

Seriously though, glamour spells are going to be a good option for you. use your make up, skin products, hair care products, brushes/combs, perfume, mirrors, toothbrush/toothepaste and intent. Good to do while you are getting ready for your day

Dream magic is another friend of the city witch! Use crystals, sigils, herbs, etc near your bed before you go to sleep, drink some chamomile, get yourself a dream journal (mine is literally a notebook with construction paper on it), keep it and a pen near you. In the morning write down your dreams, your thoughts, how you feel (tired, refreshed, groggy, etc), and interpret them.

Can’t afford tarot cards? Print out some, you can usually find them online and they won’t last as long as a real deck but it is a good temporary solution. Want a Ouija board but can’t keep one or need it to be easily hidden? Print one out, draw on one on paper or cardboard, fold it up and store it once you are done. Want a pendulum but can’t afford one? Use your favorite necklace, bracelet or keychain!

Tea and coffee magic is great, make your own tea blends with the herbs you like. Or just buy simple green or black tea and add sugar, milk, etc depending on your intentions

As I said before, crock pot magic. The Modern Cauldron: brew and cook all day with it, fill your apartment with the scent of the herbs and food to fill it with the energies they correspond with and you get a delicious meal to come home to! Most dorms allow them. Rice cookers also work well.

Can’t afford fresh food? Have to survive on ramen, canned soup, and microwaved meals? That is okay! They even correspond with things! Tomato soup for love, beauty and passion. Beef ramen noodles for strength, courage and longevity. Microwave mac n cheese for beauty and feminity. Look at their ingredients and what they correspond with. Sure its not as glamorous as a making a huge made by scratch traditional meal but its kitchen magic none the less. Stir it with your intent while you cook. It isn’t fancy but it works just as well!

Use a notebook or binder for a nice grimoire, decorate it as much as you want on the inside. Print out pictures of nature, animals, planets, stars, places, crystals, etc that you cant’ access/afford and use them in your craft. Spell books and grimoires are powerful tools

Don’t have a wand? Use a wooden spoon. Tie a colored string or ribbon to it to correspond with what energy you want it to have and move and flick it as you would a wand.

Knitting, crocheting, and knot magic is very apartment friendly. As well as sewing and embroidering plus it is super calming.

Glitter, sequins, and beads are great in witchcraft! Use their colors to determine their correspondences. Put them in spell jars, sachets, bottles, etc. Glitter tip: if you spill any don’t fret, get some packing tape, wrap it around your hand with the sticky part outwards and dab at that glitter spill. You will literally pick up all of the glitter in seconds!

Enchant and charge your pots, pans, skillets, and other cookware to make every meal magical

Make moonwater in your windowsills. Use it for cleansing, beauty, divination, clarity, protection and purification

Take walks. Even if it is a city there is still nature about. Pigeons flying about, potted flowers outside of stores, grass growing in front lawns, etc. Enjoy yourself, even if it is not some wild, vast forest you can still connect with your local nature.

Pick up litter or garbage you see outside, being in the city we all see it. The natural world around you will appreciate you helping out. Bring a bag with you when you take your walks or travel and fill it with wrappers you see on the ground.

I hope this was helpful to all of my fellow city and dorm witches!

Kitchen Witch Face Mask

I’ve been breaking out lately and can’t really afford to buy any of Lush’s wonderful face masks so I decided to scour my cabinets for what I do have that can help. Sometimes it pays to know your ingredients!

I mixed together:

Two tablespoons of honey. (Lots of antioxidants to clear up acne, brightens, moisturizes…it does everything! I used natural clover honey.) A splash of green tea. (Mine had jasmine in it, a little sexy boost! Green tea has antioxidants that will brighten your skin and clear up your acne, and you can drink the leftover tea.) Some grated potato. (Lightens skin and fades scars/blemishes.) Quite a few spoonfuls of baking soda. (Lifts impurities. Use enough to make the mask viscous.) An egg white or two. (Nature’s renewal agent.) A couple spoonfuls of sugar. (For exfoliation!) A few drops of lavender and rose essential oils. (For scent and calming the skin.)

I applied a few layers of this, left it on for a while, and then rinsed it off in the shower, spritzed some of my homemade rose water toner on my face, and then moisturized.

Here’s hoping it works for you guys!
