The little things.

I started my new year with a lot of stress, and I mean crazy amounts. All winter I was revising for my January exams and, I am happy to say they are done and dusted, though, now results day haunts me. I still have more to go, with a lot more stress coming my way for June exams. For now I am a lost lamb as I've watched a lot of movies and now I am bored. So being in the limbo phase of being bored and home stricken, I really need to start building a routine again and feeling more positive. so, I have gathered a few things that will hopefully make us a tad bit better.

TREAT. when I am sad I think about Chanel  and how much I want a 2.55 in my life, which ends up with me begging my mum.  I know it wont happen anytime soon so lets enjoy the finest at a more affordable price. I have a massive love for lipsticks so once in a while; shall we say every week or so I buy a lipstick to make me happy.So, If you ever feel down buy something that will make you feel better, that could be from make-up to stationary. the tiniest things can make one feel a lot happier.

EAT. I feel like my slight binge eating of junk food is an obvious reason why I feel crap sometimes. If I eat healthy, I feel much more energised about myself and my body functions better. Having home made healthy smoothies is something that I am having more regularly. I have also discovered flax seeds which are great to put in smoothies/porridge as they provide a lot of energy, which is slowly broken down.

MOVE. During exam season, you could call me a hermit, I lived in my room and was studying all day long.To no ones surprise after my exams I was stuck in bed for a couple of days watching films and surfing the internet. I can feel that my body is begging for a re-vitilise and exercise is a must to feel energised and boosts my stamina. Evening starting from your bedroom by watching exercise/workout videos from YouTube is a great way to get the hang of it. Theleanmachines are a great channel for workout.

EXPRESS. Sometimes when your having a hard time/day and you want to let in all out it can be more safer to express it through writing. I have decided that I will write a journal this year, which will be a great idea to put your feelings and day into words which you can come back to. Whilst revising I was reading over past essays and I had a lot of cringe moments due to what I had written and the way I had said it. I think having a journal and looking back at what you write can help you improve yourself in a weird way, in my opinion of course.

MORE.TREATS. I am not one to count calories  but if you are one of those people, sometimes let go. even the tiniest of cupcakes or a macaroon not only look so pretty and vibrant but taste yummy too and is a great treat.

LET.GO. I am a massive tea drinker and can consume up to 4 mugs of tea a day, during exam time I think I had about 6 a day; bad I know. Instead I am cutting normal tea consumption and incorporating herbal tea into my diet. The different flavours, especially berries are great as they contain anti-oxidants which are great for your body. 

BRIGHT.Not only having a clean room which makes you feel ordered and happy, being organised overall makes you feel better about yourself. This can brighten up my day, especially when you come home from a long day at school or work. Also,start buying fresh flowers every now and again to put somewhere in your house. Flowers exude beauty and makes a day brighter  so treating yourself to those or even a special can gift you some will be lovely.

I hope these tips are somewhat useful. I said all this stuff, but need to put in practice myself. Smile. It is a really important thing, which I think I am not the only one who forgets to do.

A happy belated new year.
