From my school themed posts, I think you can tell I like to revise. I do try at school and it does pay off when I get results. But one thing I’ve noticed is that people really don’t know how to revise.


Recently my school has touched on and it surprised me how some people don’t know the method that’s best for them. Personally I like lists from notes and using colours to do it, but there are so many different ways to revise all it takes is to find the method that suits you.

 Some methods I find are most common / effective -
 - Flash cards
 - Mind maps
 - Posters
 - Diagrams
 - Writing out notes again
 - Listing - making small notes
 - Asking someone experienced eg- teacher / parent / friend
 - Podcasts
 - Watching YouTube videos
 - Talking about it with people / teaching each other
 - Practice exam questions

 I hope this is helpful because it’s surprising how little people know how to revise! I know there are more methods but I feel these are some of my favourites.

 I don’t take much care of my hair. I’m always too tired when it comes to washing my hair and I get lazy about it but I really want to change. Boots have such good offers on hair care it’s hard to say no so I decided I would finally bite the bullet and get more into it.

I wanted to start basic and go with hair masks as if they’re anything like facemasks they work magic! I got 2 just so I could try a variety, I started with the garnier ultimate blends coconut oil frizzy hair mask and than the L’oreal elvive dream lengths long hair mask.

 To start with, the L’Oréal one, I really hope it’ll help my split ends, my hair is really damaged honestly and even help it grow. The product description is ‘Dreaming of beautiful long hair but struggling to achieve your dream lengths? Help rescue locks that feel damaged with our saviour hair mask, enriched with a cocktail of Keratin, Vitamins and Castor Oil. The formula reinforces* the hair and helps leave it feeling nourished and looking shiny. Instrumental test after 5 applications of Dream Lengths Shampoo and Mask on bleached hair’

 When I first tried it, My first though was I loved the smell as it just reminds a professional hair salon. Smells are the first thing I check when I get a new product and this is a good one! Onto the actual product, as soon as I put it though my ends I instantly noticed it felt so soft. Once I washed it out & even once my hair dried it felt as soft as it did them. My hair feels amazing I can’t stop touching it (which is bad) and it looks so glossy and I can’t find as many split ends.


 The garnier mask is what I’d hope will help my hair be less frizzy. The website describes it as ‘Tame dry, frizzy hair with our intensely smoothing balm, blended with rich Coconut Oil and Cocoa Butter. Our rich nourishing formula, with its velvety balm texture leaves frizzy hair looking super smooth and frizz free, even in damp weather’ I really do hope it is right.

 When I first tried it, My first though was I loved the smell as it just reminds me of summer. Smells are the first thing I check when I get a new product. Onto the actual product, I can say it worked! It didn’t make my hair feel as soft as the L’Oréal one but my hair wasn’t nearly as frizzy as usual. It didn’t work complete wonders but it helped calm my hair down so much so it took less than half the time to straighten it then normally and I’m so thankful for this.

 I really do want to try more hair care and this has inspired me almost to try it. I’ll be using these masks and choosing my favourites the more I try them! They both serve different purposes and I love them for different reasons. I can’t wait to try more haircare products too and share them on here.

 Body care is something I’m really into - I think everyone should look after their body because It can really help you feel better about yourself, makes your body feel nice and is a good habit to get into because self care is so important!

Sometimes looking after your body can get expensive, I know some body care is expensive and can be really hit & miss but I think there are so amazing brands at that drugstore that are so worth it, affordable prices and really good products!


First is a brand I’ve known about a long time but only really tried their products recently. Sanctuary spa has always interested me as a brand but I never tried anything for no particular reasons until my mum got some products as a birthday present. They are both amazing! The scent is strong and they are 2 completely different and intriguing products I’m glad I tried and I’ll definitely want to look more into them as a brand, especially with the prices!


 Next is a brand everyone knows and loves, soap and glory! This is the first ever bodycare brand I tried and I’m glad I did! Every product I’ve tried I’ve completely loved. It’s never Christmas or a birthday without receiving a soap and glory gift set! They’re the most perfect gifts and such an adorable price range for all the products with the most amazing scents and packaging. What’s not to love about them?


 I’m not sure if you can count ted baker as a drugstore body care brand, but it’s all sold on drugstores with really good drugstore prices! Having a bodycare range by ted baker is like a high end touch to the drugstore. Ted baker have continued to sweep me away with the gorgeous packaging, amazing smells and affordable prices! They are prefect for pictures and worth every penny they are.


 This may not be sold in boots but it’s still drugstore and a big love for everyone, The body shop! This is probably the brand that got me into skincare, always as a little girl I’d get excited to get a new body shop shower gel and the older I got I wanted to try more and more products and I’ve never looked back! I always go back to the body shop no matter what.


 There is nothing I love more than finding affordable products that actually work and being able to share them is even better! I love looking after my body and doing it on a budget is the best thing to do.

 Baking is one of my favourite things to do. Whenever I have free time I do it as much as I can and I love it. I want to make more baking blogposts but I honestly get so caught up in the excitement I forget! But I remembered this time and wanted to share it with you guys.

What a better time than a bank holiday to bake too. I really love bank holidays because I always do things with my family so I though an extra post would be perfect to go up now!


The recipe I used is Mary berry’s vanilla cupcakes (with a slight change)

 Cupcakes
 * 175 g butter
 * 175 g self-raising flour
 * 175 g caster sugar
* 1/2 tsp baking powder
* 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
* 1/2 tsp milk (if the mixture is too thick)
 * 3 large eggs

 Buttercream
 * 150 g butter
 * 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
* 2-3 tbsp milk
* 300 g icing sugar, sifted
* 1 and 1/2 tsp of coca powder


 Method
 1. I start by measuring all my ingredients out so it’s easier to be able to put them in as I go & pre-heating my oven to 180 degrees
 2. First, I cream the butter & sugar together
 3. Than I add the eggs, baking powder & vanilla extract.
4. To bind it all together I add the flour gradually and a dash of milk if it’s too think.
 5. I add the mixture to the cupcake trays and bake for 25 minutes
 6. For the buttercream, I start by creaming together all the butter to make it smoother than adding the milk and vanilla extract
 7. Gradually add the icing sugar, mixed with the cocoa powder for a chocolate like colour
 8. Using a piping bag & nozzle (wiltons 2D) frost the icing onto the cupcakes & add the Lindt chocolate on top! These honestly tastes amazing!

 I’m so happy with how they went because I didn’t expect them to go this well! I hope someone makes these & enjoys these because all my family loves them!

 I first saw these on ASOS and I was so intrigued! I just love everything about the product at first sight and I knew I had to go get them in store. Fast forward to when I was in boots, seeing them in person I had the exact same opinions and I knew I had to buy one.

 Liquid eyeshadows are something I’ve never tried so I’m really interested and as well this is my first Barry m product I’ve tried. It’s surprising but I’ve never ventured to them as a brand but after this I might have to go back. The affordable drugstore price of £4.99 & high pigment I got from the swatch, what’s not to love??


 The shadows are described as ‘Crushed Jewel cream eyeshadow is overflowing with stunningly rich shimmery particles packed tightly into its smooth, lightweight formula. Its doe-foot applicator allows the formula to glide easily across the eyelid for a striking, metallic finish in 8 gorgeous shades’ on Barry Ms website.

   The packaging is gorgeous. I love the sleek matte black lid and the way the metallic comes though it’s just gorgeous. It looks so expensive as it’s simple yet really eye catching.

 I chose the shade ‘pillow talk’ which is metallic bronze (I think, I’ve saw it being called a cool toned gold) and I love it. I feel like it’s 2018’s version of on & on bronze as it’s like the perfect bronze shade I want. It has cool undertones but not too much which I like and a gorgeous shine to it when the light hits it! I think this is a gorgeous wearable shade and I think it could be built up or made natural.


For the formula, I noticed the product does take awhile to dry down and with too much it one place it can look cakey. When it’s on the eyes it looks mesmerising! It’s so metallic and shiny, which is easily buildable and it’s so easily blended with your finger for a soft bronze sheer look. I’m not sure how it blends with a brush as I feel like this is a product I’d rather use my fingers with.

 The only possible down sides is It’s easy to remove with a wipe so I’m not sure how it would last under wet conditions and it can feel a little heavy on my eyes but it’s something I can get used to.

I really do want to try more shades of this as it’s impressed me to much, I love it and could see it becoming a every day product. The drugstore is really coming up! This is a product id pay triple the price for from a high street brand so Barry m have made an amazing product here

 This kinda goes hand in hand with my different ways to revise posts because it’s all good knowing how you revise but it’s how you Go about it. This can be the make or break in if you remember any for the information you revise and pass or not.


 I find If i don’t have a routine to my revision nothing goes in. I can’t just sit there and revise, I need to follow a schedule and break it all down! You might not even realise you have a routine or need to do this but it can make the world of a difference.

To start by I always make sure I take breaks. After every 15 minutes I’ll have a 5-10 minute break and reward myself for it! This is a way the information will go in and makes is more enjoyable and less draining.

 This is links with my different ways to revise post as to revise I think you need to find a method that suits you! You should check out my post to see for ideas for that!

 When it comes to making my notes, I love to use colours and Keep it as simple as possible by only noting the key points. This makes my notes efficient and really easy to read back when it comes closer to the test.

 To go into an exam, you need to have the mental attitude for it. Self care during exam season is so so important and something you need to remember to do. Keeping a positive mindset and not doubting yourself will help you get though it, believe in yourself!!

 Revising involves no distractions and I think that for the 15 minutes you revise you should avoid phones and anything else that’ll put you off. If you’re not in it 100% than you won’t remember what you’re revising. You need to Focus on understanding over memorising when it comes to revise and make sure you’re able to put everything in your own words.

 Making these posts are really helping me, I hope they’re helping some of you guys out! Wether you’ve got exams now or in however long but being in education pretty much just means exams a lot which is not fun, but revising can be so making a routine for it will help.

 Recently I’ve tried to deliberately try new things and I’ve found some things that I really do love, possibly on a holy grail level and I think that they are all worth sharing with people, I do think everyone should try these!


 To start with is a present my mum got me for Christmas, the Clinique take the day off cleansing balm! This is just like liquid gold. The texture is so silky smoothe & this perfectly takes my makeup off so lovely, leaving my skin feel amazing! I feel like it’s such a good skincare investment & it lasts so long as you need the smallest bit as it melts in your fingers.

 My auntie has a friend who works in America & gives her lots of EOS so she gave me and my sister one. I chose the coconut milk one purely because I’ve wanted to try this for awhile & I was not disappointed. the last time i tried these lip balms I wasn’t a fan but now I’m into It, I find it’s really moisturising on my lips & smells lovely but not too strong so I really do want more now.

 I’ve had Charlotte tilbury lipsticks since 2016 and pretty much though 2017 I followed the liquid lipstick train, but now I’ve gone back to my Charlotte tilbury lipsticks! My lips are so dry they can’t handle liquid lipsticks & my 2 Charlotte tilbury lipsticks are amazing so recently I’ve been loving them and it’s safe to say they are holy grail.

 I’ve wanted to try sheet masks out for awhile but recently I’ve bought afew and I really am starting to love them. Having dry skin, they are helping keep it moisturised so much and I’m trying lots of different brands so I’m having fun using and trying new ones (recommendations are nice) but I’ve not doing any favourites yet.

 Honestly I think there are like gonna be holy grail products one day. These are new products I’ve been constantly reaching for every since I started using them and really would recommend them to everyone!

As the weather warmed up in the UK (for 4 days!!!!) it made me think how I really wanna invest in more body products. I’ve been doing some shopping for it and I’ve found afew products I wanna try.

 Bodycare is something I’ll use - but only what I have I rarely buy it for myself so I really do wanna buy more now, I’ve found that the warm weather really made me just want to shave my legs & feel silky and smoothe.

 To start with I really wanna try more body scrubs. I use scrubs on my face all the time but rarely on my body and I wanna change this. I really like the look of the all natural ones that are in the bags so I’ve found a few I’d like to try (photos above). The frank body ones really lntrest me as they’ve been hyped up so much and I’d love to try especially this shimmery one and this zero skin one.

 I wanna try more bath salts! I’ve seen them everywhere but never really got any but I’ve heard so many good things. Herbivore is a brand that’s just came to space nk and I want to try it, so the bath salts are what I’d like (the aesthetically pleasing packaging draws me in too) and the bod mermaid bath salts are just so intriguing, the holographic packaging just draws me in.

 To go along with all this, I was looking at body butters. I always wanted to try lush bodycare and the ro’s argan body conditioner has always been something I’ve eyed up. I love the concept of this and can imagine it to leave you smelling nice & soft all day so I think it would be worth it & save moisturising after the bath. Another different type of moisturiser I want to try is the sanctuary spa shower oil. I have tried afew of their things and think it’ll be amazing on my skin.

 All these products are things I’ve had my eye on recently & I do home to buy some of them soon. My body will love thr TLC and as the weather may be warming up (big if) it might also see some sun!

 One thing that I think makes Revising during exam season stress free is planning all your revision out. Making a revision timetable and checklists of what you need to do it all subjects will really help! This is what makes revising easier for me as when I come to do it I know what I’m doing.

 I know myself that as soon as I begin to stress when revising just nothing goes in. I actually like revising so doing it in moderation is that main thing that helps keep my stress levels free. Taking breaks is extremely important and It’s proven that’s how the information goes in.

 I know you think you need to spend every minute of the day revising but you don’t. You should not cut off your social life & family life just for all this revision because this is like the revising in moderation, you need to have a break and spend time with your family & friends!! This is so important as socialising will help lower stress. Finally I think of all the revising you need to have time for yourself.

Self care is so so important and especially in exam season you need to look after you self 10x more so you’re mentally & physically prepared for the exams. By watching a film or having a bath is a good way to practice self care & just de stress!

 To anyone who is doing GCSE, a levels, uni exams or anything else. Good luck and know that you can do it! I know how hard exams are and the stress that cause are not good. Make sure your self care comes before anything

Skincare always seems to amaze me. They are always coming out with new and creative products that are really amazing and you just do think ‘I could’ve came up with that myself’

 A new ish product to me is eye patches. I’ve seen these online before but I’ve never tried them to recently. I’ve seen affordable ones such a the primark ones (which I’m reviewing in a post stay tuned) Superdrug’s own and Masque Bar Eye Repair!


These really interest me. Basically, these eye patches are made for different reasons, some are for anti wrinkles, some are hydration and moisture, some are for brightening and some are for unti puffiness. They’re like little facemasks for your eyes that are made to fit perfectly under the eyes in a gel like puff.

 They’re like an extra step of self care that is not needed but just nice to do in your skincare routine and with the fact that the skin under your eye shows the first sign of ageing, is extremely delicate & can make you look older with puffiness, fine lines and fullness.

 Overall, I do think these are worth the hype and I do think they are a little extra self care product I think everyone should use because they are lovely & relaxing!
