With all the idealized and aesthetic morning and nighttime routines here on the 'tubes (guilty of making and loving these myself 🙈), I feel that this is something we don't talk about nearly as much: how to un-routine. A combination of doing something new, doing something different, doing something we don’t usually do, or even doing nothing—for a few minutes a day, or longer—can be massively helpful for our productivity and, more importantly, our mental health in the long run. Hope you enjoyed this mash-up of my two styles of content ft. a glimpse into my week in Seoul, South Korea! 💕
