Life Hacks for Back to School | Collab with Prettily Painted




Hi guys so as back to school is fast approaching I thought that today I would do a kind of advice blogpost on how to make going back to school a lot easier as I know it can be tough to get back into routine, plus I am going into Year 11 this year which is really scary to me but I feel that I can really give advice based of past experience. This post is also a collab with prettily painted here in the blog community you can check her blog out via this link www.prettilypainted.blogspot.co.uk and her blog and Instagram are both flawless. 


1. The night before:
I find it really helpful when going back to school to get everything ready the night before as when I do I am in a little less of a rush the next morning trying to collect all of my things. I am sometimes guilty of leaving things till the morning but if you give yourself a little insight that if you get everything ready on the night you can have 5 or 10 minutes extra in bed and who can't deny more sleep on a morning! 


2. Organisation
I find it personally really helpful to keep all of my work organised in big ring binder folders as when you go back to school you can just pick out the folders you have for the particular lessons that day and take them into school. Although I don't take my folders into school with me as I feel like I don't need to I like to have all my existing work in one place to help me locate it easier when it comes to revision. I also recommend getting a five subject notebook as I use them for revision to keep it all in one place so I don't have loads of loose sheets all around. I feel that if you become more organised when you go back to school you are going to learn better as you know where all your work is if you need it to help you. Also folders are great for organising controlled assessments as I did this for my science controlled assessment last year and it worked great. 


3, Multiple Alarms
My final tip is something I've sworn by for years now and that is using multiple alarms to get you up in the morning, as when you use just one alarm you are more likely to press snooze and sleep in longer whereas if you have two or three alarms to wake you up you get sick of turning alarms off so you get up in the end. Plus you also can get a few extra minutes sleep knowing that you're not going to sleep in as there is going to be an alarm waking you up. I highly recommend doing this as I prefer two alarms to one and I have been using this method for about 1-2 years now.

Pamper Evening Routine | Collab





Hi guys so today is going to be my pamper routine that I did once a week or so during the summer months I will be doing an updated one when it gets more to the autumn time but for now heres my summer pamper routine. This post is also a collab with Meg from youtube and you can check out her video with this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiDV6FLCKFg


The first thing I like to do is really give my skin a good pamper and to do this I like to use a face mask. My favourite at the moment is the Soap and Glory no clogs allowed as it really cleanses your skin and gets rid of impurities, this mask is also really good at getting rid of the unwanted spots you may have on your face as it really gets deep down and cleanses your skin. 


I then like to just follow up with a cleanser and my favourite at the moment is the simple micellar cleansing water on a cotton pad; and after I like to use the simple kind to skin toner as a kind of staple skin care routine. I then like to follow up with a really hydrating moisturiser the one I love and had been my holy grail for ages is the First Aid Beauty ultra repair cream. I then like to but the simple kind to eyes eye balm under my eyes to get rid of any puffiness or tiredness that may have crept in during the day. I also like to use the Soap and Glory Dr Spot on any blemishes I may have on my face. I then finally to complete my skincare use either the eos lip balm in sweet mint or the maybelline baby lips in intense care. 


Then I just like to chill in my room and watch Netflix I've currently been re-watching Once Upon a Time from the beginning again and it just keeps getting better and better. While I do this I also like to paint my nails and the colour I reach for most is Essie's mint candy apple it's just a stunning light pastel mint green colour. I then before I go to bed like to read a book to wind down a little and take my mind off things as I get lost in a story it's amazing. I'm currently reading a book called Fish out of Water by Natalie Wipple and it's amazing. 


I hope you all enjoyed todays blogpost and don't forget to check out Meg's video
Love you all...
See you soon...
