Q&A!

I am yet again going to start this blog post with an apology for my inactiveness last week, I have been attempting to revise and on top of that I've been working a few shifts at my new job!

@b.peachey- Your favourite food?

My all time favourite food would have to be mashed potato (with no lumps!) and raspberries, obviously not together as that would be gross..

What inspired you to have a blog?

There are several things that inspired me to have a blog, firstly I wanted to have somewhere where I could share my thoughts, photography and aspects of my life and just have a little space for myself. Secondly in years to come I want to be able to look back on my best memories along with my thoughts and having a blog allows me to do that!

Favourite shops?

My favourite shops are Topshop (except the prices) River island and boohoo.com!

What is your favourite snapchat filter?

@royallyrouge- Top 3 drugstore lip products?

I do prefer high end lip products however these 2 are my favourite from the drugstore! 

1: Revlon Colourburst lipsticks in any colour- They are amazing and do not dry out on your lips! 

2: Tanya burrs lip glosses, These have a really nice formula, good pigmentation and last for several hours!

@Vanilla.highlights- What is your favourite blog post of your own?

It would have to be my 'Wandering Tupholme Abbey' post as I had a lovely time, the weather was beautiful and I took some good photographs! I also like my 'Tied down' post as I felt like I let out a lot of my thoughts and frustration from revision!

Best piece of life advice?

My best piece of life advice would be Love yourself, Laugh lots and live for yourself and not for the expectations of society!

How do you think blogging is improving you as an individual?

I think that blogging has allowed me to completely be myself and express myself through my blog, it helps me to relax and wind down after revision and I don't have anything negative to say about it!

Your favourite season?

Spring! It's not too cold and not too hot, there's masses of beautiful flowers and it's just a happy, uplifting season  I also love the fashion and refreshing makeup looks that comes with it!

Your dream holiday plan?

I've always wanted to go to Hawaii, it looks absolutely beautiful with its white beaches and its turquoise sea, just look at it!

Thank you for your questions and for anyone that's dealing with revision stress right now.. I know how you feel!

Tied down..

Until more recent times I've never experienced the feeling of being completely tied down by something, having two horses, two houses to go to, a relationship, school and the everyday busyness of life never gave me the feeling of exhaustion and being overwhelmed. At the moment I get to points where I find myself losing the will to even look at any form of revision; contemplating whether to just become a recluse and just live a simple, minimalist life. No more revision, no more countless hours of getting your head around something that you need for ONE, single exam and then never again! But then I think of my future, how i thrive off of hard work, doing well and feeling like I have successfully achieved my goals. It will be worth it.

I hate the whole concept of the educational system, how it is drilled into us that we must all get amazing grades, do A levels (or the equivalent) and then go off to university, and unless we do that then 'we won't succeed in life, we'll never have enough money or get a good job.' It's so wrong. Although times have thoroughly changed, I know several people that have good, well payed jobs that went against the status quo, went down a different, more suited path and have succeeded and achieved what they wanted. Today, they want us to be sheep, no individuality; to them we're nothing but statistical figures, percentages. Labels.

I don't really know where this blog post is going, it's really just my views after doing a solid 6 hours of revision today, but I can really emphasise to the millions of people across the world who feel like  they seem to be living at their computer desk, falling asleep to facts and figures- revision whizzing around. I know how you feel. Unless you're one of those people who can just take everything in instantaneously and therefore have no need for revision; I really envy you!

I find that taking little breaks helps me to get through the drag of revision, going for a run ( if i have the energy), watching some TV, eating food is always a good one, seeing your friends! There are ways to get through it and for me thinking of the end result is the prime one! I have to keep myself motivated.

I hope everyone's having a nice holiday and if you've been revising make sure you take some time for yourself.
