"Learning how to Learn how to learn" — by Marissa Gimbel

A tiny framework for days when your brain says, “I don’t know where to start.”

  • Step 1: Name the thing: “Today I’m learning about ______.”
  • Step 2: Break it into 3 baby steps you could do in 10 minutes or less.
  • Step 3: Choose one baby step and do it imperfectly on purpose.
  • Step 4: Write one sentence about what you just learned about learning.

Hair, Cosmos & Logic Basics

Basic steps of hair treatments, plus style types and fashion statements—because briefs and blowouts can coexist.

Basic Hair Treatment Steps
  • Cleanse: gentle shampoo, massage scalp.
  • Condition: mid-lengths to ends, detangle slowly.
  • Treat: mask, oil, or leave-in for your hair type.
  • Protect: heat protectant before styling.
  • Finish: light hold, shine, or texture as needed.
Hair Style Types & Statements
  • Ponytail: “I’m efficient and focused.”
  • Curls defined: “I’m bringing softness and power.”
  • Sleek bun: “I’m in courtroom mode.”
  • Braids: “I remember where I come from.”

Photographs and articles about the cosmos, and art concepts on basic tricks and tips.

Cosmic Trick: When you feel small, remember galaxies are made of tiny particles agreeing to shine together. Sketch a star map of people, places, and ideas that help you glow.
Art Tip: Circles, lines, and dots can build whole universes. Start with three shapes and see what story appears.
