2 weeks gone 2 more to go

It's finally the week off. I am so glad and yes, I still have to revise but I can relax. These last two weeks have made me realise how hard it is having exams nearly every day. It's weird how these GCSE's impacts your future. I am not that worried because I can retake them and I don't mind doing BTEC's instead of A-levels at college. These last two weeks went so fast and I can't wait to break off for summer. Hopefully once I break off I can do more posts. The best thing to do when you get home and have finished an exam is to throw away any work or revision of that subject. I know that not everyone does this, but it helps with putting my room back to normal. I can't wait till my room looks clean and free from work. It's a good feeling to just forget about the work you have done in the exam and just know you have done your best. I hate the fact we don't get course work anymore. The whole new system is stupid really, but what can we do except get on with it. At least it's not just one city, it's the full country. I want to know why they changed it from A,B,C to 9,8,7... it is annoying and weird. Everyone understood the old grading and now there is a confusion. Say you come out with 5's, people are going to think that's bad because it's out of 9 but a 5 is a C. Anyway, lets hope this week goes slow so I can get a lot of sleep and see my friends.

Exams in a week

What do I do to relax? With exams in a week I thought I would share with you things that I do to prepare myself. Yes, I am nervous but I believe I will be okay. Yes, I struggle with some subjects, but everyone has weaknesses. Anyway the main thing I do to prepare for an exam is getting enough sleep. I go to bed no later than 21:30 because it means I can wake up feeling happy and ready for the day. I obviously revise but no more than 2 hours a night with breaks. This helps information stay in your brain and means you don't over work yourself. When you think about it you already do revision at school so over 2 hours is too much. I also make sure I drink enough. Keeping hydrated is meant to help you concentrate more and just keeps you healthy in general especially in summer. The last thing I do is, keep to a timetable this means that you will be less stressed and you can fit more things in. With planning you know what to do next and don't waste precious time. That's about it really, just keep in mind that at the end of the day your doing you're best. I hope that everyone else out there who have exams coming up do amazing and relax (to an extent).

April favourites

So my first ever favourites! What to include? I have chosen things that I have been loving this month and things I thought you may want to know about. There are a couple of things that I haven't necessarily used every day, but have still made a big impact on my life. Enjoy :)

Collection Pressed Powder
This is the collection pressed powder in the colour ivory, number 18. It is 17 g and costs £1.99. This is a really nice cheap powder that is great to set your makeup. I love it so much and ever since I found it, I have used it when wearing makeup. I believe it is the lightest one they do and is a handy size just to pop in your bag.


Wella Professionals EIMI Thermal Image Spray
The amazing heat protection spray that smells gorgeous. This is the Wella Professionals EIMI Thermal Image Spray. It is 150 ml and can be bought for under £10. I got this when working in the hairdressers but every time I get my hair cut, I buy another bottle as it's so good. This product helps your hair stay in great condition and shine.

Batiste Tropical Dry Shampoo
I always have dry shampoo at home, but the one I have been using this month and is now my favourite is the Batiste tropical instant hair refresh. It smells fresh and exotic. This product isn't tested on animals and is the UK's no. 1 dry shampoo. I bought the 200 ml bottle from Superdrug for £2.99 and I love how I can make my hair look 10 times better in a matter of minutes.

Imperial Leather Foamburst Body Wash
Luxurious. Pampering. Cherry blossom and vanilla body wash. What do I love about this? Well, I tell you now, if you buy this you will never go back to normal body wash. This is in foam form and leaves skin really soft. It's wonderful and lasts a long time. You can buy it from most supermarkets for £2.00 and is 200 ml.

Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit Visibly Clear Facial Wash

As you can  see I have used nearly all of this sweet smelling facial wash. It helps eliminate spots and blackheads with a fresh clean feel. I got this from Superdrug and is £4.99 and 200 ml, but definitely worth it. I like the fact it is refreshing and gently purifies the skin without over drying it.

Johnson & Johnson, Clean & Clear Advantage Spot Control Treatment Gel
With fast action it reduces spots in under 4 hours. It clears and prevents spots and is oil free. I love this product because it works really well. I normally put it on at night even though the gel itself is clear once dry. I have known about it for longer than a month, but have started using it regularly, especially after makeup days.


W7 Colour Me Nude Eye Palette
This palette I got as present, but I have only just started using it and I don't see why I didn't start earlier. It has some pretty pink/nude colours that are great for any event. It's 15.6 g and can be bought for under £5.00 or in a set for £10.00. I love the smooth texture and lasts all day.


Lipstick Stand
I bought this off Amazon and it was very cheap. It has 24 spaces and is great for storage. I don't really have much to say about this. It's practical and useful. I am very glad I got it as it makes my makeup look more organised.

Sparkle Candles
I just had to include these as they're so cute. They are from Asda and were a good price. The sparkle is the best bit as it fits in with my bedroom, but they do smell good as well.



...And that's it.
