Kinda off with kawaii pen shop. I placed an order for the new zebra mildliners on June 30th. And it's been two weeks with no update. Like yikes.
Best advice I’ve received so far
- the time you take being jealous of other people’s success is the time you could be using to build your own
- you’re never going to “feel like it”
- doing and practicing now is better than waiting for the perfect moment
- eliminate people with toxic habits from your life
- you are in control. Everything you’ve done up to this moment led you here. Therefore, your future is determined by what you do now.
- everything is as it should be and only later in life you can connect the dots.
- self discipline will give you freedom. consistency will give you results
- everything is temporary. You should find freedom in this concept
- the rich stay rich acting poor and the poor stay poor acting rich
- being healthy means finding a balance between the good and the bad
- the people that outranked you have outworked you.
- you can’t be grateful and negative at the same time.
Meditate on these statements. They are so very powerful! Xxx
The first one is so important bc im so inclined to be jealous, sadly

Part four of my quotes collection is dedicated to the artists! This one is a little bit longer, but this is because there were so many good artists and quotes I couldn’t pick a select few. As always, I hope you enjoy these quotes!
Leonardo da Vinci
- “You can have no dominion greater or less than that over yourself.”
- “Learning never exhausts the mind.”
- “Time abides long enough for those who make use of it.”
- “It’s easier to resist at the beginning than at the end.”
- “I love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. ‘Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but they whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves their conduct, will pursue their principles unto death.”
Vincent van Gogh
- “What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?”
- “Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.”
- “The way to know life is to love many things.”
- “Even the knowledge of my own fallibility cannot keep me from making mistakes. Only when I fall do I get up again.”
- “One must work and dare if one really wants to live.”
- “It is better to be high-spirited even though one makes more mistakes, than to be narrow-minded and all too prudent.”
- “The more I think about it, the more I realize there is nothing more artistic than to love others.”
- “Do not quench your inspiration and your imagination; do not become the slave of your model.”
- “Love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well.”
- “As we advance in life it becomes more and more difficult, but in fighting the difficulties the inmost strength of the heart is developed.”
Florence Scovel Shinn
- “Every great work, every big accomplishment, has been brought into manifestation through holding to the vision, and often just before the big achievement, comes apparent failure and discouragement.”
- “You will be a failure, until you impress the subconscious with the conviction you are a success. This is done by making an affirmation which ‘clicks.‘”
Camille Pissarro
- “It is absurd to look for perfection.”
- “Everything is beautiful, all that matters is to be able to interpret.”
- “Don’t be afraid in nature: one must be bold, at the risk of having been deceived and making mistakes.”
- “When you do a thing with your whole soul and everything that is noble within you, you always find your counterpart.”
Pablo Picasso
- “Inspiration exists, but it has to find us working.”
- “Action is the foundational key to all success.”
- “Everything you can imagine is real.”
- “Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone.”
- “I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it.”
- “He can who thinks he can, and he can’t who thinks he can’t. This is an inexorable, indisputable law.”
- “Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a plan, in which we must fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act. There is no other route to success.”
Andy Warhol
- “They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.”
- “People need to be made more aware of the need to work at learning how to live because life is so quick and sometimes it goes away too quickly.”
Salvador Dali
- “Intelligence without ambition is a bird without wings.”
- “Have no fear of perfection - you’ll never reach it.”
- “Mistakes are almost always of a sacred nature. Never try to correct them. On the contrary: rationalize them, understand them thoroughly. After that, it will be possible for you to sublimate them.”
Georgia O’Keeffe
- “I’ve been absolutely terrified every moment of my life - and I’ve never let it keep me from doing a single thing I wanted to do.”
- “You get whatever accomplishment you are willing to declare.”
Artemisia Gentileschi
- “As long as I live I will have control over my being.”
Henri Matisse
- “Creativity takes courage.”
- “You study, you learn, but you guard the original naïveté. It has to be within you, as desire for drink is within the drunkard or love is within the lover.”
- “There are always flowers for those who want to see them.”
- “He who loves, flies, runs, and rejoices; he is free and nothing holds him back.”
- “Instinct must be thwarted just as one prunes the branches of a tree so that it will grow better.”
Corita Kent
- “Flowers grow out of dark moments.”
- “Life is a succession of moments, to live each one is to succeed.”
- “Love the moment and the energy of that moment will spread beyond all boundaries.”
Michaelangelo
- “Faith in oneself is the best and safest course.”
- “A beautiful thing never gives so much pain as does failing to hear and see it.”
- “There is no greater harm than that of time wasted.”
- “The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.”
- “Every beauty which is seen here by persons of perception resembles more than anything else that celestial source from which we all are come.”

So I'm having a major depressive episode
And if anyone wants to send me pictures of cute animals that would be great
Hello!!💕 Here’s the other side of one of my notes. Usually, I take pictures of the front side bc of the title ahah but I want to show you the other side so here you go! As you can see, the mildliner&watercolor&brushpens I used on the front side doesn’t really show. I’m using Kokuyo loose leaf and they’re super great!! Have a lovely day🌸✨
Studgram: @natastudies
the pastel ones are my favorite!
Hello, everyone - and people who want to be productive, especially!
So, my summer holiday started a week and something ago, and I already started missing school. I don’t worry about that very much, because, of course, there are other ways to be productive, as well - but, also, relax is a thing. I’d love to list some!
Also, I decided to stop doing a promo, because I honestly don’t want to get more notes just because my blog may hire you followers… Sorry. I hope you understand, xoxo <3 Still love you ^^
Let’s get to our masterpost!
1. START YOUR DAY RIGHT
- Morning Routine (super important): When you set up a routine you follow early in the day, you provide a structure, an outline for everything you will do. Once the structure is in place (that’s the hardest part), the rest is just following along.
- Wake Up (early): This may be the second hardest part of your day, but it will make yourself proud. The No. 1 rule is, to go to sleep at decent time - I’ll recommend being it at 10 - 11 PM. Here are some other useful tips & tricks!
- Make Your Bed: This will make you feel like you’re doing something good and starting your day right + also, an awesome habit for life!
- Breakfast: Start the day with the glass of water right after you wake up. Then eat something, that actually fill your tummy and don’t forget to add some fruits & veggies ^^ Also, healthy snacking.
- (Quick) Hygiene: Brush your teeth, your hair (probably put them in ponytail or bun?) and wash your face and hands. If it is your habit, you can also take a shower! + Quick Hairstyles for short and long straight (wavy) hair & for short and long naturally curly hair to keep it out of you face!
- Yoga: Stretch is awesome for increasing your health. It makes you feel super good about yourself and also makes yourself more awake. Try this!
- Working Out: If you’ve ever worked out, you know how awesome it feels when you sweat and work on your healthier self. Also, don’t forget how proud you’ll be after one! There are loads of different workout sets so you can make a schedule and work on each part of your body every day or do a full body ones! These videos are really awesome!
- Music: It’s good to make a playlist filled with songs that give you a happy and motivational feeling or just make you feel a good way! I definitely recommend to listen to some tropical sounds, especially in summer - it makes perfect atmosphere! Also, you can listen to some of your favourite ones! Check out this masterpost to find different classical music that suit your mood!
- + more about how to have a good morning!
2. STUFF THAT WILL FILL YOUR DAY WITH PRODUCTIVITY
- A Complete Guide To Studying Well
- Homework + Resources (school work): Do everything you need to do for school first. This will make you “free” and after you’ll have everything done, you can focus on everything you really want to do! Also, doing school things will make you feel most productive - and you probably don’t want to start your 4,500 words long essay night before your school starts. Here’s quick guide to manage your study time + how to get your homework done!
- Learning Languages: As we live in world, where there is enormous amount of languages that are actively spoken, it’s important for loads of people to speak at least one foreign language. You can focus on studying some on duolingo or memrise
(my username on duolingo is: motivatedsuccess, you can add me <3). Here’s another helpful masterpost + learning languages online! - Reviewing Notes (from last school year): This makes the informations you’ve once learnt active, and it’s less possible that you’ll forget them! You’ll also get ready for entrance exams, if you have one. This will help you reviewing in less time and you can also make your notes prettier!
- Planning Your Day (+ getting a summer routine): As I spoke about a morning routine, this one is important as well. You can find loads of printables here, that will help you organize tasks you need to (or want to) do throughout the day and you won’t miss anything important. It will protect you from procrastination as well and help you accomplish a goal.
- Don’t Procrastinate: This one’s really hard, I know - especially in summertime when there’s no deadline which will push you to productive mode. Here, here and here are some useful tips about stopping procrastination and spending time without that. Be strong + check out another 15 ways to beat procrastination!
- Bullet Journal: As leads from “planning your day”, the bullet journaling is one of the most effective days for doing it - not for everyone, of course, but you can learn everything you need to know about it here! If you want to set up one, this video may be helpful <3
- Setting + Accomplishing a Goal: Don’t forget to be realistic with this one! You can easily fail when setting up really big and insane goal. Here’s little guide on doing it right! Also, 101 ways of rewarding yourself!
- Reading: It is the best thing you can do to increase your writing and public speaking = vocabulary expansion. It also makes your memory work better. Here are some other benefits + a list of very good books!
- Use Pomodoro Method when doing a n y t h i n g you want to focus on
- Organizing Your Life, Your School Stuff, Your Desk and Your Place: This will make yourself more “together” and your life will be suddenly brighter, I promise. It’s also great to create better habit in cleaning and being always organized. Life feels better when everything is in place, doesn’t it?
- Speaking of organizing, get your life back on track
- Watching Documentaries: This activity is way more productive than binge-watching shows on Netflix. Not only you get to know new facts about new topics, but you also relax while doing it. Here are 25 documentaries you should definitely see + this, 26th one!
- Visiting Museums: This one is super educational! You can definitely visit some in your area or go somewhere farther + take notes, if you want to! Here are 100 museums to visit before you die and here are some reasons to do that!
- Khan Academy: This is the website where you can easily find loads of topics to learn about & it can also help you with understanding some stuff during school year! You can learn something they won’t teach you in school, which is super exciting and awesome!
- Check out some study playlists?
- Improving Your Handwriting, it will make you very proud of yourself and help you with note-taking next school year!
- Writing: Try to write anything - try to write 300 - 450 words (at least) about any topic that comes in your mind. It can be poetry, story, masterpost, review of your day, article, essay… literally anything! Even if you aren’t good at it, just read some tips and do it - you’ll also improve yourself!
- Learning How To Play an Instrument, it’s awesome relax and also it increases the artsy part of yourself + other benefits!
- Get a Job / Volunteer: Making money throughout your chill days is awesome! Just imagine how many stationery you will buy! Here are some resources on how to do that!
- Clean Your Place / Room: Set up a day when you’ll do that, for example on Sunday, and do it every week! Stick up a schedule and get it done! It really makes you feel responsible… If you don’t know how to, learn about it here!
- Watch some educational videos on YouTube?
3. HAVE SOME FUN, RELAX AND CHILL
- Procrastinate (a little bit): I know what I’ve said above, but summer is not about being productive ~*all the time*~. It’s your time to unwind, relax and get rid of school stress and deadlines, that are hunting you. It’s okay to binge-watch Netflix from time to time. Don’t worry and don’t be so strict to yourself ^^ <3
- Have a Bath: After a long day, the hot bath is one of the most awesome relax & treat for your body - don’t worry about an environment for the moment. (Do a DIY Galaxy Bath Bomb?)
- Watch Some Shows: Since school started in September for me, I stopped watching TV completely. Summertime is awesome time to do that! Just wake up on Saturday, stay in yo’ pyjamas & binge-watch these 33 shows on Netflix. You deserve this.
- Turn - Off Your Electronic Devices: Have some time with real humans, yourself and nature. Sometimes it’s good to turn down everything and just go hiking, go for a walk or exercise. Read in nature. Basically, do anything, but not in virtual reality.
- Travel: Even if it isn’t 11-hour-long-flight to another continent, you still can got to another city with $3 bus ticket, visit something somewhere, go hiking or just spent your day in public transport. As long as you are looking outside of the window and experiencing country and cultures, go for it. (+ tips and tricks for travelling)
- Make some DIYs? (+ 1, 2, 3, 4)
- Culture: Check out what is happening in your area. There are loads of free concerts, galleries or other spectacles to visit during summertime - also because loads of tourists come there on holiday. Make sure you won’t miss anything you’d want to see.
- Meet People You Haven’t Seen In Years: They can be members of your family, schoolmates from elementary school or friends that moved. Appreciate moments with them and share what’s changed in your life.
- Watch Lilly Singh’s and Hannah Hart’s Videos + Vlogs: Both of these women are super hilarious and I love positive energy and vibes they somehow send to me. I love their work and message so much, and I really hope you’ll as well. #unicornforever
- Find a New Hobby: This one’s awesome! Please, do so, even if it won’t last long - it’s super fun and it makes you busy and happy!
- Colour Like an Adult: So, you probably heard about anti-stress colouring books, as far as it is newest trend. I don’t know if it really reduce stress, but it surely stimulates your mind and makes you relaxed. I especially love Millie Marotta’s artwork!
- Make Playlists: This is really very, very fun. I love it! I made several on Spotify. Try to make some for different parts of the day, moods, occasions - or just get songs you love together!
- Use Old Notebooks!
- Dance Around: Dance is super fun. And you don’t even have to be good at it. Don’t be afraid and put some music on, move the furniture away and transform your living room in rehearsal one. Also, if you want to keep it more professional, check this out.
- Composing Your Own Music: I’ve never done this, but it seem awesome - also, how cool is it have a little bit of songwriter personality? You can learn everything about it here!
- Send A Letter To Someone: This is super old-school, and that’s why it is that cool! Honestly, I could never imagine how happy would it make me, if I ever get a handwritten letter in my postbox. Do it!
- Find Wallpapers For Your Devices!
- Watch Movies, as well: I don’t know about you, guys, but I love watching movies. As it was with shows, I don’t have time to watch them while school is the main thing in my life, so I prefer to have movie nights during summer. You can also call some friends over and have a sleepover! Check out these recommendations.
4. MAKE YOUR EVENING WORTH IT
- Run & Jog: When weather is chilly and sun is not shining so bright, it’s ideal to go for a run. It will make you feel, happy refreshed and it is awesome for your health and falling asleep. Learn about these 5 secrets of running!
- Don’t Dine Late, Don’t Dine Heavy Foods, but Dine: It will actually prevent you from waking-up-at-midnight-and-looking-for-food-in-fridge. Also, here are some quick dinner receipts.
- Drink a Glass Of Water before going to sleep, so you won’t wake up dehydrated and with headache.
- Keep Your Technologies Out Of Your Room, because electronic light isn’t good for our bodies at all - and we all know that.
- Go To Sleep: Going to sleep at decent time, don’t be a night owl. If you want to make next day worth it, you need at least 8 hours of sleep at night. Make sure you get enough rest.
