With respect to feeling a negative emotion: you are SO RIGHT about this. It's all going to come out sometime, and trust me! It's better to cry as you go than save it up for years until it's major depression. May I also add that your makeup in this is subtle, natural and completely on point? Looks great!
My latest self care tip is taking a salt bath once a week. I realize this may not be possible for students in a dorm but if you do have access to a tub, it's relaxing. I play a podcast while soaking usually too.
Thank you so much for your tips! Your videos are so inspiring for my goal of being happy. It's not like I was sad before, I was ok, content with it, but I wasn't really living and doing the things that would make me the person I wanna be. I started college last March (I live in the southern hemisphere) and instead of feeling lost and stressed all the time like I used to during secondary school, I feel motivated! My tip is self care comes first! Some people believe that because you don't have a lot of free-time during the school year self care should be put aside, when it's exactly the opposite! The better you feel, the easier you'll be able to do everything without loosing your mind in the process. Of course you won't have the time like you do during holidays, but having a moment to relax your mind to just do something for you (whether it's small or big) gives you the energy to continue.
It's SO TRUE, you do better if you take time for yourself....otherwise you'll burn out! Thank-you so much for sharing a bit of your journey, Lizz...glad you're working on happiness 💛
Heyy! I love your videos, you always have such amazing tips! Something that always helps me is to have a day of the week (usually saturday) that I don't do anything school related. I don't touch my books, I don't talk to people about projects, I don't even get close to my bag. It's good to make yourself see other things to do outside of school, and usually these things are related to hobbies or random interests of mine!
I like the idea of self love and gratitude logs. I think another log that might contribute to healing is a self forgiveness log. This is a place (maybe in a separate privary journal) where you write a line or two to briefly describe something you did or said that you regret. (Don't spend too much time or energy dwelling or justifying the regret, just acknowledge the behavior. The fact that you have brought it here, to your confessions page, you are beginning the path to self forgiveness. In this entry, become the empathic forgiver. Take a different perspective of understanding that you are human and inventory the things you feel contributed to the incident. Are there actions you can take to avoid future situations or incidents of similar behaviors? Write about them. Highlight goals this exercise has revealed for you to work toward to strengthen your resolve. Did you behavior hurt someone? Examine how that 8njury may have affected them. Is there a way you can express to them your regret/resolve? If not, what action, is there a way to pay forward your resolve. Understand that you do NOT need their forgiveness to move forward. You only need self-forgiveness to release you from the weight of guilt you continue to carry.
Your videos are so helpful!! Keep up the good work xx I am struggling at school (doing my gcse's) at the moment and you have really been helping me, and what I love is you can see how much effort you put into your videos!!
I'm so glad the videos have been helping...try and remember that your school struggles will only be temporary (that always helps me put things into perspective) 💛 Good luck and thank-you!!
This video could not have come at a better time. I am currently on sickleave to due several factors in my life including moving cross ountry, starting a new job and overwork. So thank you sonmuch for your good advice. I relay love the iead of a "self love" page and I might have to make one in my journal as well. Keep up the good work.😁
I'm so happy to hear this video came when you needed it, Ida! I really hope everything will click into place for you soon 🙂 The self-love page had to be one of my favourite spreads...highly recommend it 👌
This came at the best time! Great advice girly!! I like to make a bubble bath when I'm sad or watch a Disney movie. No matter how old I get- they always lift my spirits! Hehe have a great day love!!
i love the self love log idea but i feel like i too will run out of things to love quickly, ha. But i'm still gonna try it out, see where that leads me :)
Really love & appreciate this video! (And your channel in general, I always look forward to your videos!) keep doing what you're doing Caitlin!! ✨🌟 good luck with school!
Hi caitlin!! New to your channel, I LOVED this video and you are also super awesome!! Your hair and the sweater look super awesome and I love the pretty but simple background!!
I have ADHD, anxiety and a few other things because of that meditation has never worked for me and if that's the same for you, that's okay ! We can be the dreamers who one day wish to be able to navigate their very very busy mind
I have a lot of medical issues so I try and swim at least 500m everyday and I also keep a bullet journal and an art journal. I am at uni studying a Bachelor of Art majoring in writing and visual art so I work on my art on my way to working towards becoming an art therapist.
This is so helpful for anyone, not just students. Self-care is so important!!! I second those asking for a hair tutorial. I cannot seem to curl my hair for the life of me lol. Also, LOVE your nail color. Do you know the brand and name??
Can you make a video about your residence experience? I'm contemplating whether to apply for residence or just commute and I want to go to U of T so it would help even more!

VERY TRUE...you sometimes just got to allow yourself to feel whatever you're feeling....never good to bottle things up! And thank-you so much 😍❤

Alicia Kettler I like the idea of that may try it
Ooooo sounds amazing! I need to take more relaxing baths....love the idea of playing a podcast in the background 👌 Thanks for the tip, Alicia!!

I have ADHD, anxiety and a few other things because of that meditation has never worked for me and if that's the same for you, that's okay ! We can be the dreamers who one day wish to be able to navigate their very very busy mind
Read the power of now by Eckhart Tolle. That might help you overcome ADHD
my number one tip would be to go outside for a walk and get some fresh air!! it's amazing how much better nature can make you feel :)
Such a good tip! I do this often when I'm stressed out and it works like a charm!
This is exactly what I needed right now~
😊😊😊
definitely going to try out those bullet journal pages, thank you!
You're so welcome! Hope they work out for you :)
You're the best! Thank you for this 💕

I have a lot of medical issues so I try and swim at least 500m everyday and I also keep a bullet journal and an art journal. I am at uni studying a Bachelor of Art majoring in writing and visual art so I work on my art on my way to working towards becoming an art therapist.
this was a really good video idea
This is so helpful for anyone, not just students. Self-care is so important!!!
I second those asking for a hair tutorial. I cannot seem to curl my hair for the life of me lol.
Also, LOVE your nail color. Do you know the brand and name??
+Melanie Obie VERY TRUE, Melanie !!! So important !! I'll try and get to the hair tutorial soon but the colour is by Essie and is called "fiji"
Can you make a video about your residence experience? I'm contemplating whether to apply for residence or just commute and I want to go to U of T so it would help even more!
Awww I love this!
your hair looks amazing! can u do a tutorial? lol
Aww shucks, Ginger, thank-you!! I've never thought to do a hair tutorial before but if you guys want to see it, I definitely could do a video on it :P
You could maybe incorporate it in a morning routine video that way it still fits in with your channel? :)

Yes, very good idea Hai! Thanks :)
