Quick Question

Hey I have a quick question,

Would you like me to do a makeup collection/dressing table blog post as I could do it over the course of a week (I have four draws and part of a cupboard which have some make up in) and work my way through the drawers and palettes.

If so either leave me a comment or +1 this post and I will do so I can try and do it Sunday to Thursday but no promises as I have an operation next Friday. Let me know if that is what you want.

Talk soon,

Stationery Haul

Hello everyone

I mentioned that I was going to be doing a stationery haul and so here it is.

I ordered a few bits off the Wilkinson website because I love stationery and because I am doing two more a levels this year.

I ordered one item from the Varsity Collection which was the A6 Organiser.

It contains dividers into different sections which is really useful for planning your life.

 

 

I haven't decided yet if I am going to use it this year or for my blog next year. It only costs £2.50 so is cheap compared to a lot of stationery stores.

 

 

Next I bought a couple of bits from the selfie collection.

 

 



I bought two packs of the Revision cards as I always seem to run out.

They are your basic revision card type except they have a border and are attached together in a pack. They only cost £1 per pack so can be a lot cheaper than some of the places you buy them.

The other item I bought from the selfie collection was the A4 Project Book.

I do love getting project books for if you have to do either projects, investigations or coursework as it is a nice way to plan it out and figure it all out.

I really liked the divider symbols in this one as well, a cat, Big Ben, A camera and a speech bubble. Doing work and projects can get tot the stage where it's boring and you have to force yourself to do it so for £2.95 why not make it a little more fun.

The final collection I bought a few bits from was the Forget Me Not Collection.


The first thing I picked up was a pack of handy notebooks.

 

 

They are A6 and you get 3 in a pack. They are perfect for on the go when, if your like me, you think of ideas for projects, essays or blog posts but you never have anywhere to write it down. This solves that issue and you get the whole pack for £2 when sometimes you have to pay that much for one.

 

 

The next thing I ordered were the exercise books.

 

 



I always end up writing my notes and rewriting them at least a couple of times for revision so these are perfect for me.
They are £1 each and as you can tell I ordered four, I really like them and decided they would be perfect for revision notes as I could tell them apart from my original ones.

The final item I ordered was a week planner.

This was more a purchase because I wanted one and had been looking online at other stationery sites and they were all £8 or £9 and I saw this one and loved the design. I am not the most organised person I try my best but anything that may help that is greatly appreciated and I will always give a go. This one was £2.50 and I decided to give it a go.


I hope you enjoyed this blog post and I should have more coming up soon.

Until next time,

Upcoming blog posts

Hello everyone 

I am sorry I haven't posted this week but I have a few blog posts coming up.

I will be doing a stationery haul as I have a lot to review/show.

I will be doing a dupe post which will be fun as I found a pretty good one I think.

And also I may be posting an almost entirely drug store alternative to a look I really liked (only one product isn't drugstore) I hope you guys like it and if so I may try and do more with drugstore products instead of high end. 

Talk to you soon,

Music Recommendation of the week

Hi everyone,

I have been listening to a bit of different music this past week.

In the sense that I have been listening to a musical soundtrack.

It is the Miss Saigon soundtrack and I love it. I saw the musical without knowing anything about it and left thinking it was amazing and in tears. I am lucky enough to be able to see it one last time in the west end before it moves to Broadway next year.

If you haven't listened to this soundtrack I would thoroughly recommend it I love it sooo much.

Talk soon (hopefully sooner than expected)

Tips/tricks for surviving school/college

Hi everyone

I decided to do a post on surviving school/college if your in the UK or High School if you are in the US.

I finished my time at a sixth form college in June and then had results in August. I am now studying from home this year before hopefully going to University (College if your in the US) next year. I had to take this year out as I have to have an operation and the rehabilitation afterwards would have disrupted my studies so I decided to approach it this way.

Therefore I figured I would lend some advice for how to survive your studies as often I have found that either myself or my friends found at times the studies were getting too much for them and they get too stressed and panic.

I have a few suggestions to help try to avoid that as being really stressed is not a good thing and can make everything spiral out of control.

1. Do the work as soon as possible. I know that it will sound boring but if you do not want to have everything piling up on top of you then get it done and you may have some time to yourself as well.

2. Always note down your homework. Most people have had that one piece of homework which they were sure they would remember and then the frantic texting your friends to see if you did have homework and it was suddenly more than you thought.

3. Make revision notes as you go. Just think about it the weeks of cramming before your exams could be made a lot simpler if you had the resources ready and waiting for you. A couple of extra hours could be the difference between grades as you will be able to learn it more simply.

4. Finally make a couple of sacrifices if it is a choice of going out with your friends or finishing your coursework, pick the coursework. I know people will disagree with me on this point but I see it as a day out with your friends which you could have another time or a piece of work which is part of your future.

Personally I would rather spend a few days when I turned down seeing my friends to secure my future as you can see your friends at a later date however if you don't try your best then you will never know what you could have achieved.

Give it your best shot and at least in the future you can look back and say at least I tried my best. I know adults who wish that they could do that now but because they didn't try when they were younger they are stuck doing a job that they hate.

Make the right decisions for you they will never be the right ones for everyone but you need to decide what is best for you.


Sorry this is a really wordy post.

Until next time,
