ROUTINES

1. Skincare

If you’re using a discbound notebook, it’s easy to print printables, punch and add to your notebook or planner. If you’re using a planner that’s smaller than standard page size such as the Erin Condren, Plum Paper etc, you can re-size printables (I shared a tutorial in this post), print onto full sheet label paper, cut and stick to notes pages, or just print into normal copy paper and use glue to adhere.
