Previously we looked at Vision Boards as a way to keep track of your goals and being used as a guide to keep you on the right path.
Journals also help in this regard as they help you to keep your ideas in order. Sometimes people get confused between a diary and a journal. They are not the same thing.

Twnkl.com defines a diary as a personal record of thought, feelings, and events. This is usually arranged in the order in which things happened. So in essence a diary is a record of your personal history. A lot of Private thoughts can be written in a diary.

A Journal is a place where you can keep a record of your targets, hopes, and goals.

Journey.cloud brought out the differences between these two by saying "Diaries are a record of entries that describe your life over a period of time typically daily.
A journal is a place where you can be honest with yourself and jot down your thoughts and reflections from things that happened around you; free from outside judgement and criticism. "

The difference is that journals are not just a place to record your day and life history but also your future hopes and aspirations. The element of hope comes out very clearly here. There are a lot of different journals for different purposes. Journals also help you keep track of your goals, and what has and hasn't been achieved.

Types of Journals
According to the Y&T website, there are 20 types of journals. The list is below as well as the purpose of each journal.

20 types of journals to keep
1. Bullet journal - to keep everything in one place
2. Business planner - to grow your side hustle or career
3. Creative ideas notebook - to jot down ideas as they come to you
4. Daily to-do list - to maximise your productivity
5. Dream journal - to detect patterns in your dreams
6. Financial planner - to monitor your finances
7. Fitness journal- to keep you on track with your fitness goals
8. Habit tracker - to make those goals a daily habit
9. Memory journal - to log those precious moments for years to come
10. Moon journal- to bring more harmony into your day
11. Morning Pages journal - to keep your practice someplace safe
12. Parenting journal- to help those little moments last a lifetime
13. Personal journal - to journal out your daily thoughts
14. Personal planner - to manage your downtime
15. Project planner - to help organise big events, like weddings, renovations, and holidays
16. Study notebook- to remember what your teacher told you each lesson
17. Study planner - to keep student life organised
18. Travel journal - to document your big adventures
19. Work notebook - to keep track of meeting notes and other important to-dos
20. Work planner - to plan out your work schedule

The number of journals you can keep is up to you and your chosen lifestyle. Keeping all 20 could turn out to be tedious and it could be difficult to keep track of which journal is which and this could in turn start confusing your flow. Having a maximum of 3 journals is okay for a start and these can be chosen according to your needs at any given time.

I would personally keep a creative ideas journal and a personal journal. This would help me keep track of my possible projects and the current state of my personal life.

Importance of Journals
- Keeping track of set goals or targets
- To keep you motivated by achieving set targets
- Lifestyle improvements for example, keeping a workout or sleep journal
- They assist in improving your memory

Journals have become very important to us as they have become an extension of who we are. They can be kept on your mobile phone, or laptop or be a physical journal you dot your ideas down on when you feel inspired.

Happy New Year. With each New Year come challenges and trials as well as blessings and benefits. The 2020s have been a little rough on most people and it's hard to stay focused and motivated. Setting goals and resolutions at the beginning of the year helps to set the tone for the rest of the year. Always remember to set SMART goals.

Specific
Measurable
Achievable
Relevant
Time-bound

A vision board can be created for just this purpose. It helps you visualize your goals in a colourful and pictorial format to help keep you motivated. According to EnVision "Vision boards can help us to enforce our vision and support a visualization practice." Having a clear-cut goal will help to highlight your direction for the future.

Elizabeth Perry also defined a vision board as "a collection of images or objects arranged in a way to help you manifest your goals or vision. This board can be physical or digital."

These can be used to assist you in manifesting your goals, whether personal or professional. Vision boards can be made using different time frames according to your preference.

Below are the Goals of a Vision Board According to Elizabeth Rider

1. Motivation: As stated above, visualization works! It's easy to access, but the easiest thing to do is the easiest thing not to do. Take time to do this and you will be rewarded. Looking at what you want every day gently pushes you forward to create the life you want.
2. Intent: Vision boards declare your intentions, which is hugely influential in making your goals and dreams come true.
3. Inspiration: Daily life can get in the way of what you want. You are not a robot! And that's a good thing. We all have days when we're not inspired. A vision board can help bring inspiration back into your life.
4. Clarity: Creating a vision board is one of the best ways to dig deep and understand yourself more.

Motivation and focus can sometimes be in short supply as the year goes on. So having a vision board assists you to understand your goal and find numerous ways to reach the goals. Manifesting your vision in very realistic ways. Having a time-bound goal encourages you to work harder and more efficiently.

There are a lot of different types of vision boards. Below are some shared by The Artful Parent;
-Poster – Glue images onto a piece of poster board
-Digital vision board – Use graphic design software, such as Canva, to create a digital vision board.
-Goal-specific vision boards –Make a vision board for different areas of your life.
-Cork board or bulletin board – Use pins to attach images and words to a bulletin board
-Inspiration wall – Pin or tape images and words to a wall
-Small vision boards in planner – make or include small vision boards within/on your calendar or planner
-Art journal
-Pinterest board

Making a vision board will ensure that you do not waste time on goals that do not serve you. It also encourages you to become the best version of yourself.

Skin Types

Different skin types get affected differently by the ingredients affected in each product so knowing your specific skin type will guide you to choose products specific to your skin type. When it comes to the skin there is no one size fits all product range for everyone. Skin types are determined by how well your skin retains moisture and oil which protects your skin from being affected by weather elements.
The importance of knowing your skin type can affect your skincare routine greatly. Certain products work really well for some skin types but not so for others so identifying your skin type is of paramount importance.

So without further ado let's get to it.
There are 5 main skin types
1. Normal
2. Combination
3. Dry
4. Oily
5. Sensitive

Each skin type has its own set of needs and characteristics, and understanding this will help you make highly informed decisions when it comes to your skincare routines. Your skin type is based on the amount of oil produced, this changes over time and might be influenced by genes, hormones, aging, stress and humidity. As per usual I'll put links at the bottom for further reading.

1. Normal Skin
Normal skin is not too oily or too dry. This type of skin has very good oil balance and blood circulation. No special care is needed for this kind of skin.
This type of skin helps lock in moisture and maintain skin hydration. In essence, this is the best type of skin to have. Despite the fact that normal skin doesn’t have any concerns, it still needs proper skincare to look and feel its best.

Characteristics of Normal Skin
i. Not prone to breakouts
ii. Smooth skin texture
iii. Radiant complexion
iv. No greasy feel
v. Less sensitivity
vi. Less blemishes
vii. Little to no product sensitivity

2. Combination Skin
As the name says, it’s a combination of skin types. Usually, people with this skin type have a mix of oily skin in some areas and dry skin in other areas. Your skin has areas that are normal and areas that are oily (namely your nose, forehead, and chin also known as the T-zone). This is also one of the most common skin types.s.

Your skin has areas that are normal and areas that are oily (namely your nose, forehead and chin also known as the T-zone). This is also one of the most common skin types.

Characteristics
i. Oily T-zone
ii. Dry cheeks
iii. Blackheads
iv. Breakouts on T-zone

Effective cleansing and hydration are very important, so find products that work for you. This type of skin needs more protection from the sun because it is more sensitive to sun damage. So sunscreen is a must-have.

3. Dry Skin
People with dry skin lack the ability to retain moisture and this can leave their skin looking scaly or flaky. Dry or scaly skin can be caused by a repetition of skin irritation due to environmental factors such as harsh winds or sun exposure. This skin has a flaky and rough appearance due to lack of moisture, it tends to lack vitality and produce less oil. It is very vulnerable to weather changes.

Dry skin is associated with a feeling of tightness and non-smooth skin which can be an ashy colour, a lot of itching will be experienced which makes it uncomfortable. Overtime cracks may form in the skin which could worsen and bleed if left unchecked and untreated.

Characteristics
i. Uneven complexion
ii. Ashy or pale skin
iii. May itch
iv. May have cracks

4. Oily Skin
Skincare for this type of skin should include hydrating and gentle products that nourish the skin and assist it to retain moisture by providing a protective moisture barrier.

Characteristics
i. Prone to breakouts
ii. Blemishes
iii. Shiny
This skin still needs to be moisturized even though it produces a lot of oil. If this is your skin type, pay attention to the types of products used so that you do not clog your pores and trigger breakouts. Cleansing with a gentle cleanser is important, do not forget to Moisturize and Protect.

5. Sensitive Skin
People with this skin type are likely to react to a lot of skincare products, irritants, and environmental factors. You might experience redness, itching, and so on. This skin is described as fragile because it is so easily irritated by different factors and because of this, it tends to lose its protective barrier which could lead to allergic reactions and repeated infections.

Characteristics
i. Tight feeling in skin
ii. Could react adversely to certain skincare products
iii. Redness and itching

If you have any of these characteristics, try to identify what triggers them and avoid exposing your skin to those triggers. This type of skin requires more effort to fight the loss of moisture and dryness, it is often described as fragile delicate or irritated.

There are mainly 2 methods
a. Watch and Wait
b. Blotting Sheet

I. The “watch and wait” method

This at-home test allows you to understand your skin type by observing how your skin behaves after cleansing.

- To start, wash your face with a gentle cleanser, then gently pat it dry.
- Wait 30 minutes.
- If your skin appears shiny throughout, you likely have oily skin.
- If it feels tight and is flaky or scaly, you likely have dry skin.
- If the shine is only in your T-zone, you probably have combination skin.
- If your skin feels hydrated and comfortable, but not oily, you likely have normal skin.

II. The blotting sheet method

When pressed to the skin, blotting sheets absorb oil—and you can use them to help you understand what type of skin you have.

- After washing your face with a gentle cleanser, pat it dry and wait for 30 minutes.
- Press blotting sheets to various areas of your face, then hold the sheets up to the light to see the oil markings.
- If the sheets soaked up an abundance of oil from all areas of the face, you have oily skin.
- If they absorb little to no oil, then you probably have dry skin.
- If the sheets show only a small amount of oil from your T-zone, you have combination skin.
- If you only see minimal oil from every area of your face, you most likely have normal skin.

3 Easy Steps to Great Skin

1. Cleanse
2. Moisturize
3. Protect
These three steps are all you need for an essential beginner-friendly skincare routine. I was once told that keeping it simple is the best way to go about some things in life and skincare is one of those. Using too much product on your skin could lead to your pores clogging and your skin being unhealthy. To avoid that remember these 3 easy steps.

Your skin acts as natural barrier protecting the underlying skin tissue from infection or irritation. When your skin is exposed to certain conditions it tends to dry out and the moisture in it slowly seeps out. ou're not aware of your skin type

Cleansing can be done twice a day, in the morning and evening. Morning, to clean the skin of anything that might have been excreted overnight for example sweat and oil.

When selecting a facial cleanser select a gentle and hydrating one, if you're not aware of your skin type

This is to assist your skin to keep hydrated and soft, essentially reducing or preventing water loss through the outer layer of the skin. Lotions are slightly more watery, absorb quickly into the skin, and are often described as lightweight compared to moisturizers.
Moisturizers improve the skin's natural defenses and repair wounds that might have formed. It provides a soothing protective film. In order to ensure full skin coverage moisturizers redistribute the acquired moisture to where it is needed at any given time.

Protect your skin, by picking up a sunscreen that works with your skin type. Sunscreen is a cream or lotion applied on the skin to protect it from UV rays emitted by the sun.
Sunscreens have SPF numbers on them (SPF=sun protection factor), which is a number that rates how well they block UV rays. Pay attention to the ingredients or chemicals used in the creation of your sunscreen because this will play an important role in how well it will work for your skin.
