30 Day Studyblr Challenge

Hello everyone! So in my time here I haven’t really come across a studyblr challenge other than the great “100 days of productivity” meme which I know is really helping a lot of people! I know there are probably some out there but I decided to contribute too!

However, I know some people struggle with what to post and when, and 100 days is a huge commitment! So I designed this short(er) “30 Day Studyblr Challenge” that anybody can participate in if they want to! The 30 days don’t have to be consecutive because I understand that people are busy and can’t always find time in the day to come on tumblr! So I invite you to take part in this little activity, and please feel free to tag me in your challenge uploads - If I see that I’ve been tagged I’ll check the post out.

Here are your challenge questions: Day 1: A photo of your supplies Day 2: A photo of your study space Day 3: Your favourite motivational quote Day 4: A photo of your most recent work Day 5: A photo of your favourite book Day 6: A photo showing how you relax Day 7: The best advice anyone’s ever given you Day 8: A photo of your to-do list Day 9: A photo of your desk in use Day 10: Who is your favourite teacher/professor and why?

Day 15: A photo of your handwriting Day 16: What music do you like to listen to whilst studying? If you don’t listen to music while you work, what do you do?

Day 20: Talk about your favourite fictional character Day 21: A photo of your diary/planner/journal Day 22: A photo of your dream school/university Day 23: A photo of your favourite character from TV (Because it’s important to relax sometimes too) Day 24: Write the sentence “I can do anything as long as I put my mind to it.” in all of the languages that you speak and take a photo. Tell yourself that every day! Day 25: A photo of the work/notes you’re most proud of Day 26: Try out mind-mapping and photograph the end result Day 27: Try out a printable and take a photo of it in use Day 28: Try going for a walk before you start studying today.

Hey guys! 2016 is only a few hours away so I thought it would be a good idea to just spill all my stationery knowledge in hopes that it helps you guys out. The main four components will be different types of pens, different types of planner systems, different journals, and different places online where you can buy variations of everything. I also included a bit of my own opinion on these products, and writing this at 3am probably brought out some sassiness. I just hope this helps you somehow! (: -Mona PS: I’m making this on the HTML text editor (and my keyboard is giving out on me) so spelling might be off, and this post is going to be very long.

Fineliners, Rollerballs, Ballpoint, Gel Pens & The Differences

Fineliners are some good sh*t. Pigments are usualy spot on all the time and usually comes in various colors. The felt tip makes it hard to write fast since it isn’t angular. This makes fineliners extremely hard to use for quick notetaking in class. I’d recommend you using these for pretty notes after class. As for brands, Sharpie is one of the easier brands to find that has fineliners, and are the first fineliners I fell in love with. The more visible fineliner brands on the Study-sphere are the Staedtler Triplus Fineliners and the Stabilo point 88. Staedtlers are a bit more expensive than Stabilo but you can easily them up from Target, but I’ve seen Stabilos around Joanns and Michaels. Pat also found some Stabilo dupes at Michaels’s for around $5 if you want to test out fineliners but you’re on a budget.

Rollerballs are the love child of the Ballpoint and the Fountain pen. You don’t have to put as much pressure into the pen as Ballpoints or Fineliners and gives you nice pigments. These glide extremely well on paper. This is the ideal note taking pen but if you have fairly unreadable handwriting, like mine, it’s best to use ballpoints. The ink does take a bit more time to dry compared to fineliners and ballpoints, expect smearing. The only brand I’ve used is the Pilot Precise V5.

Ballpoints are the ones you can lend to a stranger if they ask for a pen. These pens work with pushing pressure on the tip and the ink is usually tacky/pastey. These will not be as pigmented as Fineliners or Rollerballs but are probably ideal for notetaking in class. Ballpoint pens come fairly cheap so I haven’t forked over much cash to test out the higher priced ones. My personal favorite brand is Paper Mate because they’re really affordable and totally my aesthetic.

Gels are the strangest ones for me because their precision is determined mostly on the brand you are buying. Gel pens used (obviously) gel ink, rather than conventional ink, and they can be really nice like the MUJI Gel Ink Pens or just complete trash. These are usually targeted for kids since it’s extremely easy to add scents to the ink and they have bright colors, but many of those do not even work when using them for the first time. (literally my childhood)

Fountains are mostly used for calligraphy. The smear level in this is insane. These tend to be the most expensive and

Finding Your Planner Peace!

Bullet Journal are extremely easy to start up. I tried using this system last spring and I can say that the entire system isn’t my thing. Of course, changing things about the bullet journal is simple. If you’d like more detail, stdylettrs created an amazing masterposted dedicated to it! You can also watch studyign’s video too.

Ring Binders are defintely more about aesthetics overall. The binder system, or personal organisers like Kikki K or Filofax are extremely pricey. Some cheaper dupes for these organizers are Webster Pages Color Crush Planners and the Dokibook by Love Doki. These binder systems are aesthetic af but you would definitely be investing. The organiser doesn’t included with the planner, and even then, many of the planners they include are plain. The purpose of these ring binders are more for designing rather than a simple jotting down of ideas like the bullet journal can be.

Spiral Bound or disc-bound planners are up in price range of ring binders. Brands like Inkwell and Erin Condren’s LifePlanner are reallllyy expensive. A really good alternative is the Happy Planner by me & my Big Ideas. These type of planners have really nice designs on their pages and gives you a set up for jotting down plans as well as gives you space to design.

Alternatives Hobonichi – Pre-made with extremely similar index system as the bullet journal. The paper quality is nice af: Tomoe River Paper. For better explaination, here’s the link to one of their YT videos! Midori Traveller’s Notebook – Can def be combined with a bullet journal. More information about this on this video! You can find several etsy shops that sell cheaper versions.

Journals! Journals! Journals!

Moleskine – That really fancy brand. I’ve purchased the Dotted Chapters Journal with the original intent of using it as a bullet journal. In the end, I just ended up using it for doodling. Rhodia – I’d heard very great reviews on this brand. I know this brand is great for practicing calligraphy so I might be testing these out in the near fututre. Field Notes – I know very little about this brand but I’ve seen it everywhere. They come in graph, dotted, and blank/plain paper - and even a mix of all three. Leuchtturm1917 – basically a cheaper dupe of Moleskine.

Pro-Tip

I know most people associate LUSH Cosmetics with white girls and bath bombs but products from this beautiful company have faded my scars and stretch marks, completely gotten rid of my acne, fixed my dry skin problems, thickened my eyelashes, laid my edges, made my hair grow like crazy… I can go on and on. I’ve actually never tried the bath bombs, but their skincare and haircare products work magic.

Fading Scars / Stretch Marks Organic Therapy Massage Bar

Extra Dry Skin King of Skin In-Shower Body Conditioner, Skin Drink Facial Moisturizer, Sultana of Soap Bar, Tender is the Night Massage Bar, Each’s a Peach Massage Bar

Acne Fresh Farmacy Solid Cleanser, Eau Roma Toning Water, Full of Grace Serum Bar

Thickening Lashes Eyes Right Mascara / Lash Milk

Edges R&B Hair Moisturizer (if you put this on your edges before wrapping your hair, they’ll be relaxer-straight when you wake up, lasts about 12 hours), Dirty Styling Cream (cream-based edge control with a matte finish, no more shiny or crunchy edges) 

Hair Growth NEW! Shampoo Bar, Retread Hair Conditioner

[babybree-deactivated20160902]

I was asked to list the rest of the products I currently have in my possession, so here y’all go!

FACE / HAIR STUFF

Magical Moringa Facial Moisturizer Oh my lordy. Let me tell y'all about this stuff. It’s marketed as a moisturizer but I use it as a primer because when you put this on your face, it’s completely matte. Like completely. All day. And it will lock your makeup in place like no other. You can sweat in it, swim in it, whatever. Shit won’t budge. Ever.

Jason & the Argan Oil Shampoo Bar Amazing for volumizing. It made the three bundles in my head look more like five when I used this thing the first time, I kid you not. Also gives your hair a really natural shine. I only use it when I really need a volume boost, otherwise it’s just too much.

No Drought Dry Shampoo If you have a weave, you need this stuff. Period. A lot of times, the natural oils in our scalps (referring to my fellow black women here) are too heavy for Brazilian, Peruvian, etc hair, and so it’s easy for weave to get weighed down between washes. Shake this stuff in your hair, brush it out - bam, flow city.

Honey Trap Lip Balm My favorite lip balm, ever. Really improves the texture of your lips and seals in moisture. However, this is not for fixing chapped lips - use Ultrabalm for that first, and then this to prevent them from chapping again. Also, pro-tip, if you apply it before liquid lipstick, your lipstick won’t crease or dry out all day.

MASSAGE BARS

Strawberry Feels Forever Smells like fresh strawberries! Has a much thinner consistency than the other massage bars, so it can be used every day, like a solid lotion.

Soft Coeur Smells like chocolate and honey, and is ridiculously moisturizing. More heavy-duty than the other bars, so I like to only use this one on spots like my knees, heels, and elbows.

From Dusk til Dawn The shape of this one is amazing. It’s shaped like a cone, so it gives a deep massage when you’re using it. Definitely recommend if you have any sort of muscle pain.

SCRUBS

The Rough with the Smooth This stuff smells soooo good. Like cotton candy. I use it before I shave because it really does an amazing job at removing any dead skin and it doesn’t leave a residue, so it won’t clog your razor. However, it’s a sugar scrub, so it melts super quickly.

Ocean Salt This is a heavy-duty scrub. Really amazing if you have dry, flaky skin, and the healing properties of the salt are really great if you have acne. It’ll dry it up and heal it super quick.

Cup o’ Coffee Face & Body Mask I’m on my fourth jar of this already. The coffee beans are ground up just enough to give a deep, yet gentle scrub and the caffeine in the bar really does wake up your skin and make it look brighter. Great for the morning.

Buffy It smells like a vacation, that’s really the only way to describe it. It’s an exfoliant bar and body butter mixed together, so you rub it all over while you’re still in the shower, and then rinse the sand off. After, rub the oils in and pat dry. No need for lotion after because it seals in the moisture from your shower.

SHOWER GELS / JELLIES

Rose Jam Shower Gel Smells like roses and has a really bubbly lather. More cleansing than moisturizing. I like to use it before a more moisturizing soap because it’s great for removing dirt and oil from the skin.

The Olive Branch Shower Gel A long-time favorite of mine. Great for dry skin, as it has a really creamy lather versus a bubbly one. Also, the smell is very calming and lingers for a long time.

Needles & Pines Shower Jelly It’s a solid shower gel (consistency of jello), and it smells like Christmas trees! I like to store it in the fridge and use it when it’s hot outside, super cleansing and refreshing.

SOAPS:

Roses All the Way Personal favorite! Smells like roses & vanilla ice cream. Super moisturizing and so, so creamy. Definitely buy if you suffer from dry skin.

Yog Nog Very moisturizing and the scent lingers for a really long time. Smells like snickerdoodles and eggnog.

Bohemian Not at all creamy, as it’s an exfoliating soap. It’s great to use on dark spots like knees and armpits because the exfoliants soften the skin and the lemon juice evens out your skintone. Smells like lemons.

Karma Another favorite. It has a super thin consistency but is still very moisturizing, so it’s a good shaving soap because it won’t gunk up your razor. Smells like incense and patchouli.

Figs & Leaves Smells like dirt and grass, in a good way. Super cleansing. As in your skin will literally squeak after using it, so I recommend using an in-shower moisturizer like King of Skin after using it.

OTHER:

Atomic Toothy Tabs Solid toothpaste that you crush up in your mouth. It sounds weird but these things are phenomenal. They really leave your teeth squeaky clean, and are the sole reason my teeth are so white - I don’t use any whitening products. This particular kind smells like cloves and cinnamon.

Ultrabalm All Purpose Balm This stuff is amazing. It’s an all-over balm for rough spots. I use it in the winter time on my hands and lips, because they get dry. I also use it year round on my face where I get dry spots, as it doesn’t clog pores.

Silky Underwear Dusting Powder Another holy grail. If you could turn cocoa butter into a powder, this would be it. It’s not drying like baby powder, it’s more silky (it’s also talc-free). I use it between my legs to prevent chafing and under my boobs when it’s hot outside to prevent sweating.

Mendel’s Laws

1. the Law of Dominance 2. the Law of Segregation 3. the Law of Independent Assortment

The Law of Dominance 

In a cross of parents that are pure for contrasting traits, only one form of the trait will appear in the next generation. Offspring that are hybrid for a trait will have only the dominant trait in the phenotype.

Mendel crossed many different combinations of pea plants

When pure tall plants crossed with pure short plants, all the new pea plants (referred to as the F1 generation) were tall.  

Similarly, crossing pure yellow seeded pea plants and pure green seeded pea plants produced an F1 generation of all yellow seeded pea plants. 

Instead of creating medium height plants or yellowy-green seeds that might have been expected, one trait came out as dominant

Ie there is a gene that codes for height. One allele (form of the gene) codes tall and another short. In this case, the tall is dominant

The dominant is represented with a capital letter (eg T for tall) while the recessive is lower case (t)

The cross Mendel performed was

Parents (P):  TT x tt

where T = the dominant allele for tall stems &  t = recessive allele for short stems

The punnet square looks like:

A plant that contains the dominant T will be tall, explaining why 100% of the plants he crossed came out tall.

The Law of Segregation

During the formation of gametes (eggs or sperm), the two alleles responsible for a trait separate from each other.  Alleles for a trait are then “recombined” at fertilization, producing the genotype for the traits of the offspring.

Now, Mendel decides to cross the offspring from the above experiment - all Tt

Two of the “F1” generation (tall) are crossed

 Would assume to get all tall again as tall is dominant

HOWEVER some come out short

“F2″ generation is about ¾ tall & ¼ short

Therefore:

Parent plants for this cross each have one tall factor that dominates the short factor & causes them to grow tall.

To get short plants from these parents, the tall & short factors must separate (allowing the possibility of 2 short factors coming together without a dominant tall) otherwise a plant with just short factors couldn’t be produced

The factors must SEGREGATE themselves somewhere between the production of sex cells & fertilization

Two hybrid parents, Tt x Tt.

The punnet square would look like this:

This splitting happens during meiosis.

The Law of Independent Assortment

Alleles for different traits are distributed to sex cells (& offspring) independently of one another.

Previously Mendel addressed one trait at a time.  

He noticed that different traits had no effect on each other, eg being tall didn’t automatically mean the plants had to have green pods

The different traits seem to be inherited INDEPENDENTLY.

The genotypes of our parent pea plants will be:

RrGg x RrGg where “R” = dominant allele for round seeds “r” = recessive allele for wrinkled seeds “G” = dominant allele for green pods “g” = recessive allele for yellow pods

The results from a dihybrid cross are always the same:

9/16 boxes (offspring) show dominant phenotype for both traits (round & green), 

3/16 show dominant phenotype for first trait & recessive for second (round & yellow) 

3/16 show recessive phenotype for first trait & dominant form for second (wrinkled & green)

1/16 show recessive form of both traits (wrinkled & yellow).

May Masterpost Challenge: 9/20

End Goal: To make 20 masterposts by the end of the month

(I am behind lmao)

Hello! This is the second installment of my mini graphic design series. [ First installment here ] Today we gonna taco bout Icons! Icons are my secret tool of trade. They make a post look nice and they are just generally very very good in terms of pulling masterposts together. 

(important note) this is really a lot of rambling from someone with informal training so please take everything with a grain of salt

What is an  icon?

In wikipedia it said an icon is “ a pictogram displayed on a computer screen in order to help the user navigate a computer system or mobile device. “ I think of it as just a pictogram that happens to be a design element lmao no need to think of it complicated.

Tips on using icons

There are (at least in my view) 2 type of icons ( this sounds so unprofessional lmao but y’know I have no formal training in this I only do what I do)

Minimalistic kinds (They are the ones with the lines and they look v.v. chic) (pretty sure this is not the official name)

The normal kinds. (They are the one with colors and I like to put them on graphics)

When you use an icon, check to make sure it is transparent. If it’s not, it might clash with the background. ( but well you can make it purposely compliment too) Sometimes I used nontransparent, sometimes I use transparent it depends on your needs.

About attribution.. They are when the icon maker require  you to link back to your blog post when you use them. (Sometimes all the times I forgot to do that oops I’m a failure I should set up a credits page.)

About commercial/ personal usage: Commercial is when you use them to make cash and personal is when you use them personally. Frankly I consider mine personal use cuz all my printables are free?!?

UI = user interface. It’s  basically a fancy word for icons. You’ll see that a lot.

How to Use Icons:

First click download

Open the file folder

Drag it to the desktop

Open it in your preferred program (mine is PS)

Edit !!

*** attention see what format it’s in*** the formats I used the most are psd (photoshop files) and png (files for everybody) if you don’t have photoshop or adobe illustrator, don’t click the psd and ai files.

Websites I use to find Free Icons

My faves are:

Behance- The icons here are super nice. It takes quite a bit of searching though because the website is not exclusively icons. *Attribution might be required* *some might not be free so look carefully*

Best PSD freebies - It’s well.. the best psd freebies. I love the variety there and *most* of it is super cute.

Flaticon-  The website I use the most. It has an easy-to-navigate website but attribution is a *must* (I really need to set up a credit page I’m such a hypocrite. Oh whale I will do that in June)

Here is a list of 49 other websites

Here are a list of 10 others.

THE SIGNS AS THE 9 MUSES.

The Muses /ˈmjuːzᵻz/ in Greek mythology are the goddesses of the inspiration of literature, science, and the arts. They were considered the source of the knowledge embodied in the poetry, song-lyrics, and myths that were related orally for centuries in these ancient cultures. They were later adopted by the Romans as a part of their pantheon. All of the Muses were considered to be the best practitioners of their fields, and any mortal challenging them in their sphere was destined to be defeated.

Calliope: of Epic Poetry. One account says Calliope, the best of them all, was the lover of the war god Ares. She is said to have defeated the daughters of Pierus, king of Thessaly, in a singing match, and then, to punish their presumption, turned them into magpies. She was the most assertive and most wise of the muses. {Capricorn}

Clio: of History. Clio, sometimes referred to as “the Proclaimer”, is often represented with an open scroll of parchment scroll or a set of tablets. In her capacity as “the proclaimer, glorifier and celebrator of history, great deeds and accomplishments, she is also the muse of lyre playing. {Aries, Aquarius}

Euterpe: of Music, Song, and Lyric Poetry. Called the “Giver of delight”, when later poets assigned roles to each of the Muses, she was the muse of music. In late Classical times she was named muse of lyric poetry and depicted holding a flute. The name means "rejoicing well” or “delight”. {Cancer, Pisces}

Erato: of Love Poetry. The name would mean “desired” or “lovely”. In the Orphic hymn to the Muses, it is Erato who charms the sight. Since the Renaissance she is often shown with a wreath of myrtle and roses, holding a lyre, or a small kithara, a musical instrument often associated with Apollo. Other representations may show her holding a golden arrow, reminding one of the “eros”, the feeling that she inspires in everybody, and at times she is accompanied by the god Eros, holding a torch. {Scorpio, Sagittarius}

Melpomene: of Tragedy. Initially the Muse of Singing, she then became the Muse of Tragedy, for which she is best known now. Her name was derived from the Greek verb melpô or melpomai meaning “to celebrate with dance and song.” She is often represented with a tragic mask and wearing the cothurnus, boots traditionally worn by tragic actors. Often, she also holds a knife or club in one hand and the tragic mask in the other. {Taurus}

Polyhymnia: of Hymns. The Muse of sacred poetry, sacred hymn, dance, and eloquence as well as agriculture and pantomime. She is depicted as very serious, pensive and meditative, and often holding a finger to her mouth, dressed in a long cloak and veil and resting her elbow on a pillar. Polyhymnia is also sometimes credited as being the Muse of geometry and meditation. {Virgo}

Terpsichore: of Dance. Her name meaning “delight in dancing”, was one of the nine Muses and goddess of dance and chorus. She lends her name to the word “terpsichorean” which means “of or relating to dance”. She is usually depicted sitting down, holding a lyre, accompanying the ballerinas’ choirs with her music. Her name comes from the Greek words τέρπω (“delight”) and χoρός (“dance”). She is also a mother of the sirens and Parthenope. {Leo}

Thalia: of Comedy. In this context her name means “flourishing”, because the praises in her songs flourish through time. She was portrayed as a young woman with a joyous air, crowned with ivy, wearing boots and holding a comic mask in her hand. Many of her statues also hold a bugle and a trumpet (both used to support the actors’ voices in ancient comedy), or occasionally a shepherd’s staff or a wreath of ivy. {Gemini}

Urania: of Astronomy. She is often associated with Universal Love and the Holy Spirit. Eldest of the divine sisters, Urania inherited Zeus’ majesty and power and the beauty and grace of her mother Mnemosyne. Those who are most concerned with philosophy and the heavens are dearest to her. Those who have been instructed by her she raises aloft to heaven, for it is a fact that imagination and the power of thought lift men’s souls to heavenly heights. {Libra}

Each trig function in terms of the other five: color coded. Idk I’m just playin’ around in LaTeX and thought this table on Wikipedia would be worth color coding on its own so I made this little ditty. The reciprocal functions are the lighter colors of their regular trig counterparts. I wouldn’t call this a final version, but, hey, it’s pretty cute. High five for pattern recognition.
