Sea of Studs: April 2015

Exam preparation

Its that time of the year where everyone is stressing out and preparing for their exams, including me luckily I am only preparing for two exams but that will change next year. Anyway, its a stressful time and even though I am not the best person to take studying advice from, I have realised some things when it comes to studying and thought to share.

1. Do not leave everything to the last minute
We are all guilty of leaving homework and assignments to the very last minute but don't leave exam studying to the last minute because it will stress you out and you probably will not remember anything.

2. Find what works for you
There are many ways to revise for exams you could take notes and colour code, use flashcards, power points, textbooks, etc. There is not right or wrong. Personally I love using flashcards and colour doing my notes,

3. Stay organised
Keep all your notes and papers neatly on your desk or use folders or binders so that all your work is in one place and you are not left stressing out about where a page is.

4. Reward yourself
You should reward yourself after 45 minutes- 1 hour of studying, you could take a 5-10 minute YouTube break, catch up on some videos or go for a walk. And after a days worth of studying watch a movie or go out for dinner.

I hope these tips helped you, exam season is a stressful time and I hope you all so well in your exams!! xx

Pinspiration: April 2015

I was never a huge fan of Pinterest until a couple months ago when I decided to give it another go and its now become an unhealthy obsession. So I thought I'd share what pins I have been inspired by recently.

Hair/Beauty

I really love how winged eyeliner looks, I don;t ever wear winged eyeliner and I don't know if its just cause I cant do it or it just doesn't suit me but I am willing to give it another go. I have also been loving statement eyelashes, they just look so gorgeous and fluttery. Another makeup look I have been obsessed with is the no make up, make up, it just looks so beautiful and effortless. Unfortunately for me its not something I can accomplish because I have terrible skin that requires a lot of coverage. And lastly for hair I have been pinning a lot of lobs and balayage, my two favourite trends at the moment and its something I am working on getting done.

I have been loving round sunglasses, I'm not sure if I could pull of the look as I don't really wear sunglasses as I have small face but I'm gonna try to make it work. I have seen a lot of the Adidas Stan Smith trainers on Pinterest and they look so cute, I have seen them paired with very formal outfits and they look great, may be my next pair of shoes. I love carrying backpacks, they are just so easy to carry around as your hands are free and it's out of the way, I have been loving the leather look and this one is what I have been looking for. As for clothing I have been loving the layered look with lace bralettes, where you can just see the lace trim, I think it adds a little something to a simple t shirt or jumper.

And the lastly home inspiration, I love the whole minimalist and white look when it comes to home decor. I love the light shown in the first picture, its so unusual and I love the idea. As you can tell I have been into little succulents, I'm not really a plant person but they are just so adorable and I have to go out and get me some. And lastly I love kitchens mostly cause that's where the food is but I love kitchen designs its weird but I do. I love the brick walls and white chairs, it just looks clean and fresh.

I hoped you guys liked this post and if you would like me to do this more frequently, and I enjoyed putting this together, And leave your Pinterest links below and follow my boards here.

Wishlist #2

I haven't posted anything for over a month and I am so sorry. I just wasn't feeling up to it and didn't know what to post and honestly I just got lazy. But I thought that it was about time I stopped procrastinating and made a post so I am doing my second wishlist post because I actually love doing them and they are quick and easy to do. So here are a bunch of things that I really, really want but probably wont end up buying because I am a broke teenager... Enjoy!!
