July was a lovely month; I'd started summer and it started with a family trip to Edinburgh. I love Edinburgh as a city and it was a nice, relaxing holiday. We went to the Botanical gardens and that was one of my favourite places of the month. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
July was also full of sun! It was surprising and so lovely to be able to spend time at the park and beach with friends. I did get really bad sunburn but that always happens because I forget that I'm actually very pale!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
July was also a month of waiting; I was waiting to go on holiday to Prague and waiting for the dreaded results day.</div>

Bank Holiday Celebrations</div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
August was such a fun month and will definitely go down as one of my favourites.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It started with finally going to Prague, which I'd been waiting for since February. Prague was a better experience than I thought and it was so interesting to see. We did so many things that I didnt expect to, like paddle boating along Charles River and seeing Grace make a dance circle in a 5 story bar. It was surprisingly warm, with the peak of the week being 28 degrees. I really loved Prague and I'd love to go back.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When we came back it was only a week until results day, which was stressful. Even though it was stressful, waking up on the 18th to find out that I got into The University Of York was the best feeling ever. I cried and celebrated with Andrew before going downstairs to shout to my mam, I was so happy. It's an amazing feeling to know all my hard work paid off, especially with the shit start of the year I had. Happy doesn't even explain it.</div>

<b>Make Up Revolution Highlighter: Golden Lights</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I seen the hype about this highlighter from watching a lot of those 'one brand face' tutorials. It's so cheap and your get so much of it. It's a golden highlight (like the name says, ahah) and it gives you a lovely glow. It's so intense and I just love how pigmented it is.<br />

<b>Nyx Soft Matte Lip Cream: Zurich</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Again, another hyped product that is completely worth it. I'd seen people rave about these so much but I never got round to getting one because I dont have a big Boots or Superdrug in my town. I went to Durham and bought it with the points on my boots card, so it was a fab buy. Anyway, it's a great product and completely worth the hype. It's matte but not drying at all and doesn't dry into cracks or make your lips flaky. The colour is so pigmented and only takes one application to look fab.<br />

<b>Sephora Rouge Infusion: Strawberry </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So in Prague we found a Sephora and I was so excited. It didnt have all the American brands but it was so interesting to see Sephora and swatch all the products. It seems like a great brand and was well priced. I got this liquid lipstick and I love it because it makes me look a bit older, which is always great on a night out. I wouldn't say its as good as the Nyx one because it's more of a liquid so it takes more coats to have an even coverage. However, it's a lovely colour and it really doesn't budge once you have it on.<br />

<b>Sephora Single Eyeshadow: Satin Corset </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got this single eyeshadow with the intention of using it as a highlighter and it's perfect. It's so pigmented and gives you a golden glow with a pink shine too. It's intense and just makes you glow without looking sweaty. Absolutely perfect as a highlighter or as a lid colour!</div>

<b>Sunflower Bean: Easier Said</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Andrew has been showing me some really cool bands with good vibes and these have definitely been a favourite. The song is just upbeat and has a female vocalist, who has a really stunning, soft voice. It's a great one to dance to!!<br />

<b>Cosmo Sheldrake: Pelicans We</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I feel like when theres a change in season, it's important to have transition songs and this one is mine. It's a bit strange and at first it sounds a bit like a horror film but the chanting style of the voice is quite interesting and I can't really describe why but I love it.<br />

Shirt: Zara</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was browsing Zara with the looming thought of results day, so I was ready for an impulse buy and then I came across this amazing shirt. It has everything I love; embroidery, flowers, 3/4 sleeves and a cropped length. It was great to buy just before results because it gave me something to look forward to and it's turned out to be perfect. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The shape is lovely. It comes to just above my jeans, so a little cropped. It goes perfectly with low and high waisted jeans because it isn't too cropped. It's also a dipped hem with a split in the side, which means that it's a bit different and I can wear it with leggings on comfy days when I want to look like I made more of an effort. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The embroidered design is so detailed and is stunning. The pattern has so many colours in so I can see it going with a lot of things but because its on a background of white, it tones it down a bit. The pattern splits down the middle, where the buttons are so it creates an interesting contrast and detail. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The fabric is a cotton, which means it holds it's shape nicely and I can see me keeping this in my wardrobe for years.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Whats your favourite, recent purchase?</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
With results day this month, I know sorry for the reminder, I thought I'd write a little post discussing my fears and how I'm managing to get over them and think more positively.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBeeTMSjc8EPcWOa72Qq9gWpSU6xWIOSsFGdEdKyXfFxzhWMZ6cvhKRVJB5l_y18n55q5IZLRQps8-9jxCpmmAVPBGwfa65MCc-y-mBFl78rEbGJbHDuU1wutUFK5vcjdJsuWeoNmIz6rm/s1600/Screen+Shot+2016-08-03+at+17.20.59.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBeeTMSjc8EPcWOa72Qq9gWpSU6xWIOSsFGdEdKyXfFxzhWMZ6cvhKRVJB5l_y18n55q5IZLRQps8-9jxCpmmAVPBGwfa65MCc-y-mBFl78rEbGJbHDuU1wutUFK5vcjdJsuWeoNmIz6rm/s1600/Screen+Shot+2016-08-03+at+17.20.59.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The thing with results days is that they are important. Even if it's your GCSE's or right up to uni or A Levels, it's important. The grades don't reflect you as a person but they do decide your path most of the time and in general, most of us like to do well and get the results that mirror the effort you put in. However, the stress and anxiety that comes with results day makes the whole process so much worse. There's so much pressure on the grades and you have to go into school or college and actually get them, so it's also public and no one wants to be the disappointed one. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think the process of results day does need to be adapted to accommodate students and the varying degrees of mental health. For people without mental health issues, results day is still awful and it's still nerve wrecking. For those with mental health issues, it's so much heightened and really effects it. I know it effects my OCD, makes me have sleepless nights and get physical illness. For any student it's just a waiting period or huge amounts of stress. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think the whole system would be so much better without the stress of disappointment, like 'oh you didnt get the grades?' that's fine let's help you figure it out, instead of the dreading of sitting on the phone to colleges etc hoping you'll get somewhere. There's so much emphasis by teachers on 'failure' even for those who really try, which isn't fair and really adds to the stress. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also the whole going into college or school to collect the results is awful. I remember walking to school and college shaking and then having to open them in a hall of people. It just adds to the pressure. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've just went on a huge negative rant about results day, sorry!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought I'd also discuss all the things I've been doing to help me deal with this.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Putting Time Into Hobbies: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I find that when I start to obsess about something, it's helpful for me to put more effort into the things I enjoy. So I've been working on my monthly moments and my scrapbook. This is short term because I can't do this before I sleep, but it really does help and it gives me something else to think of.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Be Social:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think seeing friends or family is a good way to feel better in any situation. I know talking to my friends or people in my classes has helped because you know you're not alone with your worries and you can all have a joke about it. Also making plans. I already have plans to go out after results day so even if its bad or good you have people to have fun with after. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Think Realistically:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know results matter but in times of real worry, I find it easiest to plan realistically. I've planned the different course I'd look at if I dont get into my firm choice, I've looked at the option of resits and getting a job in a gap year. Obviously, uni is my preferred option but a back up plan is always great to have. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Know Yourself:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think in the run up to results day it's easy to beat yourself up and think of all the wasted hours or a question on a paper that you didnt know very well. I get it into my head and I start thinking of all the things I could of wrote in essays or other times I could've revised. However, I need to tell myself that I tried my best. I didnt sacrifice my mental health and I was revising all year. Don't beat yourself up, you did your best and you can't change it now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How are you feeling about results day?</div>

I normally never go into primark but I ran out of pjs so it was a must and then by surprise I picked up this fab shirt and I just had to show everyone!</div>

I've been seeing all these slogan and pun t shirts on instagram and I've loved them; everyone loves a pun. Anyway, so I'd seen primary had loads but I never really go in because it's always busy and annoying but I actually packed for Scotland terribly. Like I packed 4 pairs of jeans but only 2 tops that I can wear in any weather and I only packed one pair of pjs which are like 6 sizes too big and I only really wear if I've faked tanned. I dont know what I was thinking but it meant I really needed to get some Pjs and Primark is always a safe bet. </div>

I loved June because it was full of lovely memories which outweighed the stresses of exams. I've been watching new things, which did run into July but I had to speak about them. I've been listening to some fab summer songs and it's just been overall a happy month. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm not going to lie, I have only just started and finished Orange Is The New Black season 4 but I had to include it now because it was so good. Definitely one of the best season. I think the racial conflicts and the portrayal of Black Lives Matter is so important and police brutality. It makes you feel so angry and shows another perspective on the issue of privilege etc. 100% would recommend!!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've been loving this Body Shop perfume. I dont want to embarrass myself by trying to describe it but basically it's floral like Spring blossom and has a very clean, light smell. Very nice for summer!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And this liquid lipstick is really lovely; I included it in my current makeup routine. It's so light and easy to wear but matte and has this lovely peachy tone, which really lights up the face!</div>

Embroidery is always fab in summer and this sweatshirt has been such a staple in my wardrobe. It's so easy to throw on when you're tired or on a summer evening but still looks summery because of the lighter colour and embroidery. I can see myself getting a lot of wear out of it all year and I'll definitely be doing a style snippet on it!!</div>

I've been loving Frankie Cosmos lately; I mean she's cute and sings about dogs, whats not to like? I'd really recommend her albums if you like easy, short songs with soft vocals. She's just so easy to sit and listen to and her lyrics are lovely. She's a fab person to listen to when you dont want to get out of bed in the morning.</div>

This album is like my album of the year; it's so good for uplifting your mood and just not thinking to. It doesn't take effort and has that chilled vibe that you want in summer. The album is fab for condensing feelings into lyrics without being overly emotional and is still really happy. It's great at parties or alone and just an all rounder that I know I'll be listening for months without getting bored.</div>

I've had quite a few hormonal breakouts recently so I've been getting used to some new products that have really worked, so I thought I'd share it. The makeup doesn't fully cover the spots because you can't make the skin flat but it works really well to hide the redness and give me a bit more confidence, so I hope you enjoy!</div>

Firstly, I think it's really important for my skin to have a good moisturiser! My skin is very dry and dehydrated to I always use E45 as it's an intense moisturiser and it doesn't have any alcohol in so it won't irritate any spots or acne. I'd highly recommend it if you have sensitive skin.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I add my Mac Prep and Prime to prime before my makeup. I find this is great at keeping your makeup on but it also gives a glowy look and neutralises redness because its yellow in colour. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I've recently tried the Rimmel Lasting Finish concealer. I just picked it up because it reminded me of the Mac Studio Fix concealer that I always used to use and it is a really good dupe. It's the same consistency; it's thick an compact, so its best used with your fingers and then a beauty blender to fully blend it with the skin. I like to use a thicker concealer before my foundation because it means theres less to cover and I dont wear as much foundation, so the clear parts of my skin can breathe more. It's better to target conceal with. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I've gone back to an old favourite with my Rimmel Match Perfection. I forgot how much I really loved this! It's a great medium-full coverage but has a dewy glow and it's really good if you have pale skin. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My brows have became a big part of my everyday routine. I never spent much time on them but oh my god, I look so weird now if I dont draw them on!! I have naturally thin eyebrows so I love getting a more full and defined shape and the Soap & Glory definer is great. It has wax/pencil on one end and then a felt tip on the other so you can get a great, natural but defined look!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A new discovery has also been cream bronzers as well as highlighting bronzer/blush. It gives a more dewy and fresh look which is definitely what my sallow skin needs. So any cream products or shimmery ones you have, use them all over its fab and glittery.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Finally the lips. I've jumped on the liquid lips trend slightly with this Bourjois Velvet liquid lipstick. They are so much easier because they stay on so long but these ones are very light so you dont feel like they're drying out your lips. 04 is this lovely peachy pink, which just lights up my face and is fab so summer.</div>

You all know about my love for Edinburgh and botanical gardens so this was the perfect location for a style snippet!! Seriously, if you ever go to Edinburgh I'd really recommend the botanical gardens, especially the glass houses. I mean yeah they did make my hair go very flat and frizzy but there's so many amazing plants and the glass houses architecture is beautiful. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was going to do a summery style snippet with this lovely, crochet white top I have but then, in classic Scottish style, it rained. I'd been shopping the sales on Princes street and picked up this amazing shirt, so I thought I'd switch it up. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I actually got changed in the toilets of an art gallery, which had a Van Gough exhibition. You had to pay £11 to see it but I managed to accidentally walk in and had to be taken out; art was good though ahahah!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway onto the outfit. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've been loving the pyjama style that's been everywhere lately, accept I dont think I'm cool enough to pull it off and I'd probably just look like a 12 year old wearing their pyjamas in public. Then I saw this shirt on one of the overcrowded sale rails in Zara and found the perfect way of pulling it off. It was only £10 in the sale, which is such a steal considering the unique pattern and how lovely and soft the material is. It has this really unique print of, what looks like traditional Chinese people. I don't want to sound ignorant so I won't try and guess but yeah, it's really different and I just needed to add it into my novelty printed shirt collection. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's a long shirt, which isn't what I usually go for because I think it cuts me off and make my legs look even more like stumps, but hey if you can't make an unflattering exception for a cute printed shirt, what can you do? Well that's how I justify it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's perfect for those 'I want to wear leggings and pretend I'm still in Pj's days' because it gives an extra bit of coverage, so you can even wear comfy pants without worrying about VPL. Thinking of everything here, aren't I. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love the shirt and I know I'll be wearing it to death all year round because of the colours and pattern. I imagine it in summer to loose and floaty and then in winter just poking out of a jumper, love it!!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I bought these jeans off Zara, finally, after eying the 'mom' style up for so long. I never thought I'd be able to wear them because I'm only 5ft and have confidence issues around my thighs so this is a big step. I just thought that there's no harm in trying them out and I actually really like them. I'm not going to lie and say they are really flattering because obviously they're baggier so they aren't going to make your legs look small but I love that! It's a big step for me not to wear tight jeans and I actually feel confident. I think it's because these ones from Zara fit really well. They are perfect around the waist so they look great with cropped tops, especially because they're highwaisted and the legs fit great. They are a bit long because they dont do petite but I like to roll them up to give them a more vintage look anyway.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The colour is nice, it's just a simple, vintage wash. Nothing too out there and it goes with everything. I love that they have that older look because it's really fun to style with more laid back things to get an effortless vibe, like a soccer mom (or what I'd imagine).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I paired them with this cropped top that I've had for a year or two from topshop. It's just simple and grey with white, scalloped stripes and 3/4 length sleeves. I really like the sleeve length and the scallop details because it just makes it different to every other stripe top in my wardrobe. </div>

UPDATE:<br />
So as I always bang on about, Im doing A Levels and it's all suddenly got really hard. I'm so happy with everything in life, I have some amazing people surrounding me and I really can't wait for these A Levels to be done. It's so stressful and overwhelming. If anyone out there is doing exams at the moment, I wish you all the best of luck and if you're stressing out just drop me a DM and we can chat about this together!!</div>

I got this lovely, bronze Barry M dazzle dust for bank holiday because I fancied a bit of sparkle and I've been loving it since. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I didn't edit the photo of the swatch so you could see how it transfers properly. I have the pink version, that I used on halloween and I knew I loved the formula, so I thought I'd pick up a more wearable shade. I usually apply a brown shadow all over the lid and then dab this on with my figure to get an intense look! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It has warm undertones, which work fab with my green eyes. It's so pigmented and glittery it just makes you feel so dressed up without having to be amazing with makeup.</div>

You all know I've loved Daisy's pieces for years and she recently sent me some more to photograph for her and I'm just in love. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All the pieces are so subtle and delicate so you can literally wear them with any outfit and she makes such lovely designs. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My absolute favourite is this gold pineapple necklace. I love that she's gone against the all gold or all silver look!! It really mixes it up and allows you to wear other pieces with it, which I love. It's more or a statement compared to her other pieces but I love that. It's so fun and different for summer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'll definitely be posting more of her pieces because I wear at least one everyday, so watch out in my next outfit posts.</div>

I was contacted about these shoes so I thought I'd give them a go for my new summer shoes and they've literally saved my feet!! I'm one of those (stupid) people that wears uncomfortable shoes because they look nice and I end up with gross blisters and gross feet in general. These shoes have saved me from that. They are so simple for an everyday outfit because of the classic look but then they have extra details like the super round toe and the waffle fabric. I think they are so interesting for a simple, slip one shoe. The best part and the reason I'm including them in my favourites is the soles!! They are padded and have this spongey feel so it literally feels like you're walking on cushions. I've been wearing these to death and you'll definitely be seeing them all summer because they are just so comfy!!!!! Finally comfy shoes.</div>

My go to outfit is a shirt and jeans and this is no exception, except I love this because of the print of the shirt. It has these really cute, black cacti all over which is a different take on a polka dot shirt. I think it adds a bit of personality to the outfit. I paired it with black accents to keep it casual and the black bomber just adds that sporty look (even if you're like me and don't actually do sports). The shirt is in a western style and has black piping in the same areas as a classic, cowboy shirt. I think thats a fun detail and is quite on trend, I've been seeing neck ties and western themes all over!! I don't know if I could pull off a full look but this is a subtle take on it. </div>

I've been taking a little step back from blogging lately to sort things out in my life and get on with A Level revision. I feel quite overwhelmed by it so on my days off I've been putting more time into seeing friends and things. I still love my blog and I know I'll be posting more in summer but for now I need to focus on revision and not let my mental health slip! Thank you all for being so lovely!!</div>

Boohoo is one of my fave places to order from because it's so on trend and cheap and it always has good postage deals. I ordered a few things so I thought I'd share them!</div>

I couldn't get many good photos of this top because it's black but I think you can see the main details. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Its a high low top with a dip in the middle, I love this detail because it shows off high waisted jeans and is really flattering. It's a bit longer on me than it would be because I'm only 5ft but I still think it's a nice length. It has 70's vibes with the floaty sleeves and the embroidery. It also goes with the Victoriana trend with all the details in the embroidery. I think if the white was in stock I would've got that since we are heading into spring/summer but black is still lovely and will last all year round. It's a great transitional piece and very on trend, yet classic.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got this little body because I thought it was a key piece that would last all year as a key basic. It's a ribbed material and light grey, which is great because it goes with most things and it's a lighter than the normal black. It does have poppers, which is always great in case I want to wear it on a night out and it helps getting it on and off. I sized up just in case they ran small, as I didn't want a constant wedgie but I don't think it's needed. I would add here that if you have small boobs, size down as I need to add an extra stitch in so that my boobs aren't constantly out. It's a lovely basic and I'd definitely look out for more colours and styles!!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've been looking for a bomber jacket all over but they either seem to be shiny, puffy or have loads of zips. I just wanted a plain bomber that I could throw on with anything, so I headed to Boohoo and obviously they had a huge range! I picked up this jersey one and I love it. I've wore it so much already and I can tell it will be a staple in my wardrobe. It's fitted and cropped so it's really flattering but still has that boyish, bomber shape. It's got silver hardware, which is great for me because I wear silver necklaces. Overall, it's just a fab jacket and I'd really recommend it if you've been looking for one!</div>

I also picked it up in this stone colour. I did think that it would be more peachy and I think I'll be sending this back as I'm too pale for it. I think this would look lovely on someone with a darker skin tone but for me it just washes me out. Again, it's lovely material and not too thick. It's a cropped style and I imagine it would go with so much!!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Amazingly I don't own an oversized shirt!! I know, total shock because they are such a staple. I thought I'd pick one up for spring/summer because they are great to use as a light jacket on warmer days and to throw over little tops. It will be great for travelling and I know I'll get so much wear out of it. It's blue, brown and white with a bit of navy, which I loved because it's bright but neutral so it's really easy to wear. It's a brushed cotton material but it isn't too thick. It is oversized so really easy to chuck on and I do think it's flattering because it's not too long in length. </div>

April was an up and down month, it started happy but towards the end I've been having a few tough days, so I wanted to discuss and hopefully share some of my ways of coping!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Trigger warning: I'll be talking about my own mental health so if that may be a trigger stop reading or go in with caution and be safe.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
So we all get hit with those prolonged periods of tough days, like you think it's just a bad day but it keeps going. I've been feeling so down and some days I just don't get out of bed because I'm so drained and anxious. I know that it will be ok again soon and time will help but for now I wanted to share some things that have helped me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Self Pity.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think it's easy to indulge in self pity, your mind can consume you with such negative thoughts and sometimes it's easy to just agree and stay in bed, listen to sad songs and eat shit food. I've been there and to be honest I spent all day yesterday doing it. I think you need to break the cycle of self pity sometimes though because it only brings you down. It's find to have an off day when you get consumed but don't allow it to take over. Get up and get out of bed, even if thats just to sit outside or on the couch. Talk to people, watch youtube videos, just anything to take your mind away from intrusive thoughts. I know for me I've made a happy playlist, it's full of chilled out happy songs that put me in a good mood. It's easy to listen to sad songs because the lyrics help but sometimes that can be bad and it just sets you back; you need to take your head out of that space in anyway you can.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Fresh Air.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I mean fresh air in more ways than one. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's coming to spring, the air is fresher, flowers are out and the weathers brighter. It's the perfect time to just take a walk or sit on the grass for a few hours. Getting out of the house and just breathing the fresh air can help so much. I also find that being out in the sun (if you have any) can just lift your mood and make you feel a little better. Walks are also great for giving you room to think and clearing your mind.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fresh air can also mean taking a break. It's easy to settle and be in an overwhelming situation, it's toxic for your mental health. It's best to just take a break from life, in anyway you can, just sit think about things and get a fresh mindset. I find that sitting in my garden and just focussing on everything else around me instead of my issues really helps. Sometimes when you take a break from people you can breathe the fresh air you never got; I know that after my break up, I realised I was so much more than I thought and there's so much more and I was able to breathe fresher air after taking myself out of negative situations.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. Trust Yourself.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is one tip that I've had to drill into my own brain. There's so much talk on social media about people going 'psycho' to try and invalidate their feelings towards a situation and that's such a toxic mindset. Your feelings towards anything are valid. If something makes you anxious or sad, even if it's meant to be a joke, it's ok. You're allowed to express your emotions in anyway you need and it's ok if thats taking time to yourself and being alone for a bit. It's perfectly fine to react to people in any way you need to, obviously as long as it's for a reason. You need to tell people when they've hurt or upset you or when you just can't be around them. Don't feel bad and don't try and justify the hurt you feel, it's ok to be upset.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. Be Selfish.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hate the word selfish because it implies that caring for yourself is wrong and it's often used as a tactic to invalidate someones feelings. However, I think in this case it's ok to say that you need to be selfish. Bad mental health days can really drain you, especially if it's a prolonged period. You need to focus on yourself, don't take on other peoples issues and stop caring for those who don't allow you to bloom. It's ok to take your time and focus on you. Learning to love yourself, every part of you, takes time and until you can you need to make that a priority. You're the priority. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope this helps. How are you feeling, I'd love to know?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How do you deal with bad days?</div>

<b>Favourite Person:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ok I don't normally do a favourite person but I had to include Grace in this. Basically Grace has been here for me right from the start of all my problems in January. I remember walking home with her just after Christmas and just crying and having a heart to heart and then obviously issues throughout 2016, she's just been there to help pick me back up and get me back on track. I literally don't know what I'd do without my Grace. She's the best friend and she just always knows what to do; whether that be to just chat about coconut oil or being a mong with me. It's amazing to have a friend that can just pick you up out of any situation and make the worst days better. Big love to Grace.<br />

Another one that I don't usually include because there's too many favourites to choose from. However, this month I've been loving Nicole (<a href="http://thriftyvintagefashion.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">ThriftyVintage</a>). To be honest she's always been one of my favourite blogs but she's just been such a lovely friend to me this month and I know she's been having a hard time and her blows still amazing. You should all take a look if you haven't already!!<br />

<b>Favourite Songs:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been loving so many songs this month! I find that when I'm happier in myself I listen to better songs with good vibes, perfect for the summer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rc-3RQanoA" target="_blank">Two Cartoons - Males</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is one of those songs thats just good. Like there's just something about it thats just good, I dont know if this makes sense? It has those summer vibes that old school Vaccines songs have but in their fresh way. It's just one of those songs that you tap along to and you just want to sit in a park with a cold drink when it's sunny.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
SG Lewis - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0bfwEjdgQs" target="_blank">No Less</a> & <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuLRKbsMiOI" target="_blank">Shivers</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Two songs here because I've just been loving SG Lewis too much. If you like Disclosure or Jack Garratt you'll love him!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No less is a more chill, kind of relaxing song. It's got some dance vibes but not too much, so you can still just sit in bed without feeling like you're having a one man party. I think the vocals are fab and really similar to Disclosure vibes but it's just a bit more than that. It's just chill but you can still have a bit of a sing and dance. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Shivers has more meaningful lyrics that make you think more about everything but still in that chill way. Again, great vocals and smooth sounding with chill vibes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E67rVvLkXhI" target="_blank">Hinds - Garden</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you like The Vaccines, Two Cartoons, Peace and those kind of bands, you'll love Hinds. They kind of have those summer vibes but in a cool girl band way. I just think they're like a summer version of Warpaint and make me want to sit on the beach.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhlPXa6g4C8" target="_blank">Tame Impala - Yes I'm Changing</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A bit different to the others but still just as good. This song is perfect for a chill afternoon or the end of the night. I love the lyrics, it's a more positive take on the feeling of anomie in some ways. It just makes me feel better about situations and it has a more psychedelic summer vibe, which I love.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FC4NLUfQs-g" target="_blank">Mac Demarco - I've Been Waiting For Her</a><br />
Again just another summery song. It's a bit different to the rest, a bit more slow and peaceful but really great for car journeys or just days in the park.<br />
<br />

<b>Favourite Product: </b><br />
This month has been dominated by coconut oil, definitely not a sentence I thought I'd be saying. You can use it for almost everything but my favourite uses are to whiten teeth and condition my hair. If you rub it on your teeth after brushing it can actually help to get rid of plaque and just make your teeth a little whiter. For hair, you just melt it and run it through your hair like a mask, this just softens it and makes it a lot healthier for new growth. This also works on your eyebrows!!<br />
<br />
I've also rediscovered Toyshops Glow Pot! It's the perfect cream highlighter for spring and just gives you a lovely, dewy glow. I'd really recommend it and it doesn't leave you looking greasy.<br />

<b>Favourite Clothing:</b><br />
Highwaisted jeans have been a big fave this month. I comfort ate a lot through December and put on weight, which I have finally lost so out come the highwaisted jeans!! I think they are an essential in any wardrobe because they go with everything and you never have to fear having your bum out when your top has been in the wash on the wrong heat! They just pull all your lumps in and really make your figure look fab.<br />
To go with the jeans, I've been loving a baggy t shirt. I think it's such an effortless look and is comfy but looks so casual and put together. I love those outfits that are comfy but make you look like you've tried. This top is just one from Zara, it's always in the TRF section with all the basic t shirts and its fab. It feels like Pj's and just hangs so nicely.<br />

Blue is such a lovely colour all year round but it's particularly perfect for spring because it's nice and light but still classic and easy to wear. I got this lovely dress from Love The Sales, which is a site thats a bit like ASOS that basically shows everything that is on sale at the moment. I really love it because it allows you to save money even when theres no promotions on. The dress is from Vero Moda, which is a brand I always see on ASOS and love. It's a classic shift dress with a polka dot print. It's really easy to throw on anytime and it looks like you really made an effort. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I paired it with my new balance to add a more casual vibe to it. It just brings it down a bit and makes it perfect for college or a nice, comfy weekend look. I also wore this oversized denim jacket because I've been seeing them everywhere and I think they look so cool and just laid back!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Get Out Of Bed!!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Being lazy often means that sitting in bed and being comfy seems like the best plan, it's not. I think it's so much better to get up, shower and sit at a table and get on with work. Being in bed just means you're not ready for the day and it's much easy to fall back into a slump and nap. Taking breaks in bed is fine but when you actually revise, I'd say get up even if thats just sitting on the floor.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Set Timers!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Again, being lazy often means that you want to take a lot of breaks. Breaks are fine but you need to keep in structured. I usually set half an hour timers with about a ten-twenty minute break, where I go to get snacks or go back to bed. For my mind this works best because it refreshes my mind and helps me to keep on task. Also with this point, I'd say that you dont need to worry about how early you start work; I know I'm a night owl so I prefer to start revision in the afternoon, so have a lazy morning but make your revision time productive by making it suit you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. Get Dressed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
PJ's are my favourite outfit but it's not productive to be rolling about in PJ's all day. My idea is to get a nice pair of joggers and a big jumper; it will make you feel like you're dressed and ready for the day but it's still comfy. I dont think you need to get properly ready and waste a good outfit but just getting out of PJ's and not being a bed hermit is always good to keep your mind on the task.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. Condense Work.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I find that my brain is lazy as well as my body, so I can't deal with copying huge work sheets out and having massive blocks of text to read. My idea is to condense the work down into little note cards or colour coded sheets. This just works to give you easier things to read and doesn't make you overwhelmed by huge tasks. I also find this helps because it's another way of learning, it's the same information but you're forcing yourself to take it down to the most important parts, which is a great way of getting it to stay in your head.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What are your revision tips?</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbfFsQNP3-uyZH6bOoU6gPCR-YQMeuxrGCM5jMl0EVzfBYbpzWxceFu6bvRwKXyECJwBhNFwq_VJPcsCfB6FcxmFBlwufhspK4Qa-4shNjhpqX-Z_53TkpkbJXIJ4bq3x3TG4vo_7mgpv_/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbfFsQNP3-uyZH6bOoU6gPCR-YQMeuxrGCM5jMl0EVzfBYbpzWxceFu6bvRwKXyECJwBhNFwq_VJPcsCfB6FcxmFBlwufhspK4Qa-4shNjhpqX-Z_53TkpkbJXIJ4bq3x3TG4vo_7mgpv_/s1600/1.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
Breakups are always hard whether you broke up with them or it was the other way around. I have no experience of that so today I wanted to talk about being broken up with. It's hard to take but trust me you'll be just fine and here's why!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>1. You can't go back.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Going back to them is a natural thought because you put effort into building a relationship and it seems strange to let that all go. Also not talking to them after talking to them everyday can be difficult but it gets easier. It's natural to want to go back straight away but once you get out of that mindset and start thinking of your own happiness, you'll realise that it's for the best. Sometimes your heart can blind you to the real situation, you need to trust your head and trust that you don't need that person.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Okay first of all I need to tell you the one thing that changed my outlook on the situation. I was in one of those headspace like 'I can't deal without this person, I need them back' and thats fair enough because it's a shock at first and the road ahead seems really hard. Then a friend said to me <b>'You can't go back to someone who doesn't want you'</b> and then it all seemed clear in my head. You deserve to be loved by someone who loves you completely. There's no point being with someone who's always one foot out and not giving you the same amount of love and effort. Once you get that into your head, trust me, it all gets much easier to cope with. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dont go back because someone who loves you wouldn't hurt you by leaving. You'll even realise that you can be so much happier without that person.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>2. Learning to be alone is fun.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was daunting for me because I'd seen him everyday for 3 years, so learning to be alone and stay happy was really important for me. For the first week I had Grace come over and we just sat together because I didn't feel like I could be alone with my head; at the weekends I'd make plans and go out but then on the nights you will be alone and you have to learn to be ok with that. It does get easier in time, for example now I actually really enjoy my alone time! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My tips are to surround yourself with positive people so if you do feel down you can message them or see them. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Things that help being alone:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Throwing yourself into work, revision or any jobs that you normally put off.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Listen to music. I'd say make a playlist that makes you happy, with jazzy songs and good vibes and that will cheer you up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Watch films!! There's so many films on my 'to watch' list so I've been going through and having my own little movie nights. You may even find a new favourite, like Room for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Start/finish off a tv series. I started Awkward and I've been loving it, I even watched some episodes more than once!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Put more effort into hobbies. I've been working more into future plans for my blog because it's productive and give you something positive to do.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One tip I'd give for being alone, is to stop doing things you know will hurt. Dont look through old photos, dont go on time hop, dont look at old conversations, dont look at them on social media!! Also, dont go out drinking and think it will take your mind off it. I know at the start I'd make plans to go out on the weekends to drink and forget but you dont, if you're in a negative place it will make it worse, especially the morning after. I think drinking is fine if you're doing it positively, like going to parties and dancing and having a good time but don't negatively do that to yourself. Just keep your mind on positive things and don't allow them to ruin that.<br />
<br />
<b>3. You, Your Friends, Family and Meeting New People.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Sometimes when you're in a relationship you can feel like they are you best friend and you retreat into a little bubble, so when this breaks you may feel alone. You're not, there's so many people ready to pick you back up. I know my friends and family have been there to help me, I've put a lot more effort into spending quality time with them and it's really helped to take my mind off things. Seriously, people love you and they will be there if you want to cry or even if you just chat about anything. It's also important to get yourself up and out and start making your own plans. People like people who make the effort and make the plans, so start doing it! Don't be afraid if people say no or don't reply because if they are good friends they will.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>4. Do you at your own pace.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Don't put a time on anything. Time is a long healing process so dont think 'oh I need to be over this in a month' I think you just need to take as long as you need. Don't think you're taking to long or don't get scared if it's moving too quick; do things for you and you'll be fine. Put yourself first.<br />
<br />
I just want to say that sometimes things happen for a reason. Maybe timing was wrong or maybe that person wasn't meant to stay in your life for longer and it's ok. Don't dwell on how you could've changed the situation and don't blame yourself. You need to focus on yourself and focus on loving yourself and someone who is meant to be in your life, either as a new friend or a new partner, will come along right when you're not expecting it. These things take time and at first it will be really hard but everyday gets better. You'll have down days but don't worry, don't message them and don't go back. You deserve to be loved by someone that loves you. You'll be okay.<br />

I decided to restyle this Varsity bomber jacket that I've had for years. Bombers are back on trend now and I thought they were perfect for transitioning outfits into spring. I love the varsity style because it kind of makes me feel like I'm in some cool american sitcom like Awkward. I mean American high school seems really long but fun and way different to what I'm used to, so a girl can dress up in those clothes and pretend. I also paired it with this bright yellow jumper from New Look because I thought it was a bit different than just an all black outfit. The brightness just screams spring to me and I felt like I was actually dressing for the weather for once, which has always been my issue. I just love autumn too much. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, I think this outfit has a really fun, sporty vibe without looking like you're going to the gym. The backpack is great because it can fit in my laptop and essentials but still looks put together and chic. I think this element of the outfit brings it back to being wearable and practical. I love this look with the highwaisted jeans because it gives it a more sleek look and kind of suck you in. I think this is perfect because it balances out the baggier look or the jacket and keeps you from looking bulky.</div>

I really wanted to show you this shirt because it is literally me in a shirt!! I mean it has bikes on, which I will be getting when I go to uni, cacti, which you all know I love, owls, one of my favourite animals, pineapples and oranges, which are my favourite fruits! I saw this on their website and knew I had to have it, I mean how often do you find a pattern that describes your personality? I have to say it would be completely perfect if it had dogs on but we can't have everything. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you've never tried Zara shirts, I'd highly recommend them. I find patterned shirts are a staple in my wardrobe anyway but the Zara ones are my favourite because they are so nicely made. They are so soft and the fabric drapes really nice, you dont get it restricting you or bunching up weirdly and then they have extra details like interesting cuff lengths or strong/hidden buttons. I notice all this in a shirt because I look for things that will last well, I hate it when you buy an item and wash it and it goes hard or shrinks. I'd highly recommend these shirts and to be honest I think I'll just continuously buy them in different patterns. They are thin so with the cream ones you can see your bra so you'd have to wear a top or a white bra but I dont really mind that, and for my figure it can be flattering because you can still see your figure through it rather than it drowning me in fabric. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, a Sophie outfit wouldn't be complete without my black jeans. They can make an outfit a bit wintery and dark, so for spring I love adding a lighter top because it balances it out and keeps my look bright. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then this backpack, I love it!! Unexpectedly, I found it in the Avon catalog. I've been looking for one that was reasonably priced, not real leather and a decent size for a while and then I found this! I think it's a great size and manages to fit all my revision in without weighing me down and being too heavy. It also looks really chic because it's matte black. It goes with everything and just looks a bit different to a normal backpack and doesn't ruin my outfits or shoulders, which is always fab. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How do you switch it up for spring? </div>

Well March has been a funny old month but nevertheless I have a bunch of favourites that have kept me smiling to share with you all!</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Firstly, I want to start by explaining March. March will probably go down as being the weirdest and hardest month of 2016 for me. I mean so far 2016 hasn't came with many good months but March tops it all off. At the very start I had a brake up with my boyfriend of 3 years. As you can imagine this was particularly difficult. So March has been a learning curb but I'm starting to see the fun in it all. I mean it's pushed me to look at myself more and be more content being alone. I've started doing things that make me happy, like starting new projects. My friendships have became stronger as the people I love have came and helped me while I cry or just to eat ice-cream with me. I've also met new people, which is so interesting and something I'd never of done before.Things like that really make me happy and proud of myself because I'm shy and it's a big deal for me but it also makes me so happy. Things like this can suck the motivation out of you and it has, I mean I'm struggling to revise or find the motivation to do things but slowly it's getting better. I have lovely people around me and I'm grateful. I'm really looking forward to April to see if things will keep on this good track. I dont really want to dwell on it all, it's in the past and I'm more than happy to start moving on, I just thought I should mention it here because I want to be completely honest on my blog. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also I wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who has offered their support, it really means a lot and it's amazing to know that so many people care.<br />

My first favourites are this mix of MAC's In Anticipation lip liner and my YSL Rouge Volupte Shine lipstick in Rouge In Rock (36). The lip liner is a dark pink colour with a hint of rose tones in. This is perfect for me because it brightens my face but in a subtle way so I can still over-line my lips without looking strange. Then the YSL lipstick adds the moisture back in and gives a more red tint. The liner alone can be a bit drying so adding a more glossy lipstick on top is perfect. The YSL adds a bit of colour too but isn't anything intense so together they are fab for spring days when you dont want to up keep of a bold lip.</div>

Benefit Porefessional.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This has always been a bit of a love/hate thing for me. I mean it's great for smoothing and keeping make up on but it can be really drying and make my makeup cakey on dry patches. I wouldn't recommend it for dry skin but I've been putting it on my nose and on my cheeks where I have transfer issues from my makeup and it's worked great! I would say try the Garnier version first because that is really good too but these kind of thick, smoothing primers are so good for oily parts of the face and keeping makeup on all day. They just make everything apply really nicely and keeps you looking fresh. That's always a fab thing when it's coming up to the hotter months. </div>

Next I have my Avon eyeshadow palate. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's just a neutral set of shadows but I've been loving them for nights out and just defining my eyes. Avon is often overlooked so I thought I'd include this one. The shadows are actually really pigmented; they aren't as good quality as say the Naked palates but at a fraction of the price they do well. I think the shade range is perfect for any type of eye and I can wait to try that bright yellow/gold shade! The highlight colours are also really pigmented and I use the first colour to highlight under my eyes since I'm so pale!!</div>

For fashion favourites, I've been loving this Dorothy Perkins top. I got this last year but I've brought it out again and I love it. Pink is really in recently and it's a perfect spring, transition colour. It has these big, illustrated flowers on and I just think it's a really different take on the classic florals. </div>

Music Favourites:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Firstly I wanted to talk about my friends band Armpit And The Glitterbabies. They are an all girl, feminist punk band ahah! It's a bit of a mouthful but really they are so talented and it's amazing to see them talk about and sing about these types of issues. They've just supported an actual band and it made me so proud and they have a show coming up soon! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You should all give them a listen and a like!</div>

I've been loving this album all month because it's really chill and has some lovely lyrics. I've been loving Talk Me down especially! It's chill but not in a sad way and I've just had the whole album on repeat, I'd really recommend. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Okay, so Spring is one of my favourite seasons because it's that lovely in-between weather. Not too hot but still sunny and bright, which puts me in the best of moods. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, as always I start my day off in my favourite place, my bed. Since spring is full of revision days and the easter holidays, it usually means that I dont move from my bed for quite a while. I usually laze around playing on snapchat or doing blog things until I get the motivation to get up and revise. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I do decide to get up, I do my makeup and then go back to bed for a bit to start work. I can't work till I've done my makeup so minimal is best for me. I put a light layer of my Bourjois foundation and concealer; they just give a really nice coverage but they blend so quickly, which saves time for me. Then I put a bit of a peachy colour on my eyes with a dark brown in the crease. I find that this defines my eyes but in a more spring way. I add my usual cat eye but I only add it to half my eye. Firstly, because this is quicker and secondly because it opens my eyes up a bit more and gives them a more rounded look. If you struggle with winged liner, try applying your mascara first because it gives you a base line to follow. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I add more blush that my average looks because that makes me feel more spring like and awake. Then for a pop of easy colour, I add my YSL lipstick in HERE. It's this lovely balm, lipstick in a light red colour. It's perfect for spring because it adds a hint of red/coral which helps to wake up your complexion but in an easy to wear way. It fades off gradually and leaves a nice stain, so you dont have to constantly re-apply. This is definitely a spring favourite, especially paired with a pink lip liner for a more coral look. Perfect if you have small lips, like me, because it just defines your lips a bit more. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tune in for part 2, which will be my everyday transitional outfits!</div>

I've never really spoke about personal style but I think it's so important, especially for me! I mean I love fashion and style but I wouldn't say I'm really on trend or anything, I think it's all about enjoying it and having your own personality within it. Trends are fun and your own trends are fun, I just wanted to talk about enjoying your own style and being confident within it. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I think the idea of personal style has really changed with the rise of blogging, I mean you no longer look at celebrities and see the trends everywhere constantly, no you can see personal style, street style and everything in-between. I know blogging/vlogging has really inspired me to be more open with things I like and be more confident wearing cactus shirts instead of sticking to feeling as if I have to wear a certain thing to fit in. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I always remember feeling like I couldn't really go out and wear the clothes I liked because I thought people would take the piss out of me and think that it was weird because it wasn't a neon crop top and highwaisted jeans, wow I sound so old but this was like year 6/7. Anyway, I soon realised how boring this was because I didn't like what everyone else was wearing but I also didn't like what I was wearing. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wouldn't say personal style is something you need to fuss about too much. I mean trends are fun and staple pieces are core but there's also the twist that you put on them, which is yours. I mean I love the 70's trend now but I know it's just not me to go all for it but my friend Grace loves it and she pulls off all the suede and the patterns because it's her thing. I just feel like you can wear anything you want and make it yours. Sticking with the 70's trend; I know I like more tailored things because they flatter me more, so I go with the 70's feel because it's interesting but I wear it in a more subtle way. For example a flared sleeved top and tailored shorts. Personal style is your thing and you can do whatever you want with what you wear. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I feel like the most important thing is knowing what you like and being confident within it. If you love cats and want to wear and outfit with cats all over it, that's your thing and you don't need to hide that. Follow trends if thats what you like but if you dont, you dont need to worry. I love looking at peoples outfits because I feel like you get an idea of their personality; it's creative and I love seeing people being a bit out there with it all. I know for me blogging has opened me up to being more creative with my outfits. I'm shy so I know I'm never going to be really outrageous with my style but that goes with my personality. I like cute printed shirts and novelty pieces and other people might like black and white or bright coloured outfits. I dont think it matters as long as you feel good in what you're wearing. Clothes are just an extension of you, so have fun with it all! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What's your opinion on personal style?</div>

Ok so the 70's trend wasn't for me at first but I've tuned it to me and I actually love it now, hand me all the loud florals and suede!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got this top in the Topshop sale for £6, which was a total bargain. It's got a high neck and these amazing flute sleeves. I absolutely love the turquoise colour, it's really different for me but is still so wearable considering it's blue and still toned down. It's this and of stretchy fabric, which has a lovely shape; it just kind of hangs nicely and doesn't cling to any chub, ahha! I love wearing it casually with jeans or out for drinks or a formal event with these culotte shorts. I just think it's a nice twist on an otherwise normal top. The flute sleeves adds that 70's vibe but in a more subtle way. It isn't too stand out, it's just a nice detail. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The culotte shorts are from ASOS and they are just a really easy, jersey material. They are so comfy but the loud floral makes them look so much more stand out! I love the pattern because it's loud but not impractical, you can easily wear it and pair it with things because it's a dark floral. I love dark florals because they are so easy to wear but have that extra detail and fun to an outfit. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Are you on board with the 70's trend?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Also I tried a tripod out with this outfit. I dont think it worked as well but I'm still trying to adjust!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And if you're into girl punk bands it would mean so much if you checked out my friends band!</div>

I feel like the new year starts off with so much motivation and then you hit a bit of a bump in the middle. Like now I feel a bit lost and confused but I've been putting myself first for the past few weeks and I wanted to share some of my key points that have been keeping me happy.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Spring Cleaning.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ok this point can mean 2 things; clean out the negativity in your life and give your messy room a clean! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Recently I've been cleaning out. I've made big decisions to cut negativity in my life out; maybe that means losing people and that really hurts but in the long run it will be ok. I mean it's hard to and I dont think I've quite accepted in all yet but I know that you can't stick around to be hurt. I think making moves to look at yourself and see what you need is ok. I mean I still feel like it's maybe not the right choice but everything happens for a reason and you have to accept that. Just because it makes you down doesn't mean you should accept that though. Negativity holds no place in your life, you don't need it there and if it is then cut it out. Negativity brings you down, so by cutting it out it gives you space to think for yourself and have a more open mind.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also cleaning out your room. I find that getting rid of the gross floor-drobe I have is one way to make myself happier but also just changing things up. Whether that be changing out old photos or buying a new plant. Little changes to make your room a nicer place always works. I know that my room is where I spend 99% of my time so making it a nicer place to be in works wonders for my mood, so change your sheets, hang up your clothes and add some nice little mood lifters in!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Be Productive.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know that this is easier said than done but trust me, getting up and getting ready for the day works. I know I've got mountains of revision to do, which isn't the top of my list at the moment but not doing it makes me stressed so I think it's better to just get on with it. It's hard when you're sad to put your mind onto things other than the things making you sad and that takes time to get over. I've had so many days were I just can't focus and it scares me because it's damaging my future but at the moment I have to think of me. Little and often works well, I do revision when I'm in a good place and watch shit TV shows when I'm not. I think productivity is all about balance; don't pull yourself down by getting too stressed but when you know you can, do it all!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. Get Out The House.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've started to dislike weekends because I have to fill all my time myself, which can be intimidating. I mean on the week days I have college and I'm constantly busy, so weekends can be a bit scary. I think you just need to set a plan, know what you want to do and try your best to do it. As I say, getting out of bed and doing stuff can be a bit of an effort when you don't feel up to it but just going for a walk or out with friends can really lift your mood. I know I've been going for drives or drinks out recently, it just gets me out of the house and out of my slump. It's perfect if you're a blogger too because you could go out for a bit of a photography day! Make plans with people or enjoy your own company outside because it helps to clean your mind.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. Look To Your Future. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know when I feel down I get a bit consumed in my slump and feel like I just want to nap till it's over. As I say, I've been finding revision really hard but I know that the revision is making a difference to my future so I have to do it. I think setting out your goals and plans for the future can really help to take your mind out of the present and give you something else to focus on. We all have plans, even if you don't like to admit that you want to be a millionaire with some alpacas, we all have future plans and putting your effort in to reaching them can definitely help you find happiness in your present situation. It gives you motivation and something to look forward to. So start making the pinterest boards and get that revising done and watch your mind set become less consumed by your slump.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. Listen To Good Songs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We all have a different definition of a 'good song' but it's definitely something that can bring you happiness. Instead of putting on that sad song, that may describe everything your feeling but doesn't help, put on more upbeat and happy song on. I know that if I add more negativity to my mood then there's no way I can expect to be happy. I've been loving Oh Wonder, Troye Sivan, Dresses and LANY at the moment because they are just more upbeat and nice to listen to. It definitely cheers me up and takes my mind of my current situation. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
6. The Blogging Community And Friends.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The blogging community is huge and full of lovely people. I know as soon as I mentioned that I'd been having a hard time all of my friends where there for me and have been ever since. I know I can talk to them whenever, I think it's important to know that both blogging and real life friends are there for you and it's ok to ask for help. Just being on Twitter and joining in chats when I'm not revising can instantly lift my mood. I love reading everyones post, seeing them on instagram and just being around friends. Surrounding yourself with happy people, who care is so important. I've been distantly lately but I know they are still there and I think it just helps knowing that. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you're happy! What are your key tips?</div>

Jumper:<a href="http://www.boohoo.com/boohoo-petite-tops+knitwear/petite-fran-nap-slogan-sweat/invt/pzz95444" target="_blank"> Boohoo </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I ordered a 'Queen Of Naps' jumper of ASOS ages ago but had to send it back because the fit of it was all wrong and ever since I've been looking for one like it and I found this!! It's absolutely perfect, exactly what I was wanting. It's just a light grey, sweatshirt fabric with the bold, red letters saying 'Nap Queen'. I love that it's a more fun take on the whole varsity trend thats going round now with the bomber jackets and college jumpers. It's like hopping on a trend but in a way that's more me because I'm really not sporty! I love how bold and to the point it is, it just adds a bit of sass to a normal outfit. I can imagine myself styling this with red Pumas on a boring day but still looking like I made an effort and then maybe a leather skirt and boots on a day when I need to look more put together but still can't really be bothered. It only comes in petite for now but I love this because it's more fitted, it means that you can be comfy in a sweatshirt without looking like you stuffed on the biggest pieces of fabric ever ahah! I can't wait to style this in so many ways and I already know it's my new favourite. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've been buying a lot of Boohoo recently because its so cheap so you can shop little and often without breaking the bank, which i love. It's also on trend a lot of the time so it's great for trend pieces and you don't spend loads on them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Also I got some cool new lenses. My dad found them on Ebay for so cheap and they are fab; there's loads of lens filters, macro and fish eye lenses so I knew I had to give one a go. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also just wanted to give a little update. I no longer have good DSLR and photographer so I'm struggling a bit with the outfit posts! It's so annoying because this is what I love to do and I dont want my content to go downhill so I apologise. I really hope I can get back to normal soon, it's just really hard at the moment. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thanks so much for everyones support. </div>

Adoption isn't something I've spoke about on my blog because it's not something that I really think much of, it doesn't really effect my life. However, I feel like there is a lot of misconceptions about people who are adopted and it seems to be this secret thing that people find awkward, so here I am talking about it. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Firstly, I thought I'd give some context. I was adopted at 10 weeks old by my lovely parents. I have an adopted brother, Daniel, who is 6 years older than me. I have never met any of my biological family and I don't have any plans to; not because of any sour feelings, I just don't feel the need to. I can meet them at any time but it's not in my interest because I feel like it will open the door to relationships that I'm not really sure that I want to have; I think my life is fab how it is, hahah.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So the reason I wanted to talk about adoption is because there's so many misleading ideas about it; people either think you're like Tracy Beaker or someone off Long Lost Family. Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of Long Lost Family, I think it's great that people find what they are looking for but not everyone who is adopted has something missing from their life. Also the programme is so interesting, like how do they find these people?!?<br />

I find the idea that people should want to meet their biological parents to feel fulfilled is kind of strange? I mean if thats something that you think you need to do, then thats fine but whenever someone finds out I am adopted, they seem to assume that it's something that I'd want. I always get bombarded with questions like 'Isn't it weird not knowing your parents?' or 'don't you want to know them?' I see why people ask these things and I'm sure that I would to if I was in their situation. People who aren't adopted already know the people who gave birth to them and everyone assumes that they are your family. Obviously biologically they are but what I'm trying to say is that it's the people who look after you that are your family. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The reason why I don't talk much about being adopted is because I don't really think about it. It does cross my mind because my family is my family and they are my 'real' parents. People find it weird because they are not my 'real family' which is quite a strange thing to say to someone but I always just pass it off as people being curious, I suppose you would be. I just think that blood doesn't mean you're any more of family and that you care more. The way I've always put it to people is; if I seen my biological mother in the street neither of us would recognise each other, she is a total stranger to me, so it's not 'real family'. I have my family and it just so happens that it took me a while to get to them, haha. I think it's the same as people who have grew up with step parents, who have became their parents. I see my family as normal as anyone else (minus all the weird traits we have hahah) and we all love each other just as much. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
People often like to say that they couldn't adopt because it's not the same as having a real child. I understand their view because it must be hard for some people and it must be so painful to give your child away but it is the same. Me and my family have knew nothing different, so it is normal. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've always grew up being open about this topic but I know quite a lot of people who secretly hide it. I think its a shame because it reinforces that stigma of not being a normal family. It's ok to talk about it and be open because theres nothing wrong with it. I totally understand that some people may just not want to and thats fine but I would say that it's nothing to be ashamed of.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't see adoption in a negative way, I just don't understand the misconceptions that the media has made. Not everyone who is adopted has something missing, to me it's just a normal family. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love hearing stories like this because I think it's so interesting hearing other peoples points of view. I'd never rule out meeting my biological family and I know my real family would be right beside me if I made that decision, however I don't think it's something that I'd want to do anytime soon. </div>

Thank you for reading and I'd love to hear any of your thoughts or questions!!</div>
