Back To School Tips + Hacks

Create A Timetable:

-Start the timetable from when you get home from school/college, schedule time to relax and time for homework and/or revision. Only spend max of 2/3 hours per night on revision, don't stress yourself out too much ! Also allow time for extracurricular activities and your social life. This will be very useful around exams and it will keep you very organized !

Revision:

-Struggling to know what to revise? Find past papers from the exam board you are doing and practice doing the questions. This allows you to get used of the exam style questions and more prepared for the exam. If you are not sure ask your teacher ! This is especially useful for maths and science.

-When revising don't copy a whole textbook out , just bullet point the most important points !

-If you are revising for a long period of time make sure you have ten minute breaks every hour or so ! Also revise one subject for one hour and then change to a different subject to avoid getting bored !

-Can't get motivated to revise? Place sticky notes around your room with goals and targets you want to achieve e.g if you need to get into college/university write down the grades you need to get it. 

Organisation:

-Keep forgetting to do your homework? Download The Homework App or set a reminder on your phone for when it is due and you will never forget it again !

-Colour coordinate your school timetable with your books, highlight each lesson/subject on your timetable that is the same colour as your subject book. This lets you easily see what books you need for the day just by the colour !

-Keep a folder/file at home for each of your subjects to put in loose sheets, homework and notes.

Hopefully this will help you for another year at school/college !

Whats In My Makeup Bag - Feb 2015

Hi, Im hopefully going to start doing more blogposts so I hope you like this one and I'm going to take more photos to include in my blog!

 Makeup bag is from Cath Kidston.

 These are the Real Techniques Brush set including the buffing brush, pointed foundation brush and detailer brush.

The top left is the Rimmel London Scandaleyes show off, the top left is the Scandaleyes retro glam and the front one is Avon Colortrend.

The powder is Rimmel London Stay Matte and the liquid foundation is Rimmel London Wake Me Up.

Baby Lips by Maybelline, Cherry Me and Pink Punch.

Brushes

I use the pointed foundation brush for the liquid foundation to get an even coverage.I then use the buffing brush for the powder foundation.I use the detailer brush to fill my eyebrows as I find it thin and fine and easy to use.

Eyes

I usually wear eyeshadow from my naked 3 palette but it doesn't fit in my makeup bag! I use the two Rimmel London mascaras on my top lashes and the Avon one on my bottom lashes as it's a really thin brush.

Face

I use the Wake Me Up foundation in shade True Ivory.The Stay Matte powder is in shade sandstorm and I would definitely recommend buying this powder foundation!

Lips

I only use Baby Lips as I have quite dry lips and cherry me is by far my favourite,it smells amazing and it softens my lips and gives a nice light red colour.The pink punch is more colour pigmented and is more brighter than the cherry me but it is really nice aswell.

I hope you enjoyed this blog post !
