Dealing with stress.

Sometimes life can be very stressful. Luckily for me right now life is thankful, de stressed. I have finished all of my coursework, finished my new bedroom and all I have left to do is pack and prepare for America, (which I leave for a month today!). 

Here are some tips that I have picked up over the years.... 

Listening to music or podcasts on an iPod or music player instead of your phone - means you don't get distracted and you can almost drown the world out. 

Go for a walk / run - I find that it just clears your head and you find the opportunity to work out all of the things you have going on in your head. 

Have a netflix marathon - I love to just put on a good chick flick or a good Disney movie that I know will just a great big smile on my face!

Bake some treats - There is nothing more in the world that can make a person feel better than baking a cake, you don't have to be the best baker in the world (you can by those part baked mixtures now days).

Have a nap - sleep is a magical magical thing that just leaves you feeling so much better. 

Do something creative - I love to be creative and it just makes me feel very calm and at peace. Anything from writing to painting to sewing to drawing.

Tips for surviving summer.

SUMMER IS WELL AND TRULY HERE. except the fact that we in England still have a lot of rain...

So I thought that it was the perfect time to give you all my top 5 tips for surviving summer 2014.

1. Drink plenty of water.
Now I know this is the big thing to do and everybody tells you to drink lots of water to stay hydrated but it is so true! Water is a lovely refreshing drink that will keep you hydrated all day. I normally actually don't like drinking a lot of water but when I put it in this cute tumbler with some ice and a slice of lemon, I am loving on it all day long!

2. Don't stay inside all day long.
I know the temptation, the feels and let's face it the Sims. Summer only happens once a year however so go out with your friends, family and dog and enjoy the time that you have. (you can still play on the sims... just at night time ;) )

3. Take it easy.
This is your summer, You don't have to have something on every single day. Thats what the school term is for when you have the homework and the end of term deadlines. Chill out everyday for the next six weeks if you want to. DONT STRESS ABOUT IT ALL!

4. Try something new.
This could be a new activity, a new food (mine has been cockles.. not sure what I think) or even just a new lipgloss that you can go back to school with in September to tell all your friends about!

5. Try not to wear a full face of make up.
I normally try to use bb cream or even just concelear to cover up my dark circles instead of a full coat of foundation in the summer. This means that I am not sweltering under my make up and it gives my skin a chance to breath!

Until next times
