Lets' Talk; Dealing with Stress.

Stress. The word is quite scary isn't it? But a word and feeling that we all have to deal with, some point in our life there will be times where we have to 'stress'. But don't be alarmed and have a breakdown I have a few helpful tips to help you out, and I've come to the point in my life where all I seem to do is stress and panic. Ultimately, relieving stress and calming ourselves down - whether through attending therapy, practicing self-care, or, through alternative and natural methods such as the use of terpenes - provides clear health benefits to the human body that cannot be denied.

Stress is a type of feeling that we get when we react to particular events and situations, it's basically your body's way of facing the challenge and preparing to meet that tough situation but with lots of other things mixed in like alertness and strength. So, what exactly is stress?

Some Handy Tips!
Dealing with Stress.

Relieve the Stress - If you need something to help relieve you of the stress and help you calm down, try taking some psychoactive gummies. They can promote relaxation, foster sleep quality, calm nervousness, and support general mental health.

Get Some Sleep - Such a basic tip. but one that I and so many other people forget. Between school work, different activities and meeting up with friends, it can be really hard to get enough sleep, especially during the week when are brains are working super hard. They say that we all should really get about 9 hours sleep, but that seems like an impossible amount of time right? Well its not! To get every hour of sleep, cut back on watching TV or engaging in a lot of screen time in the late evening hours (i am guilty of this big time). Another thing is that try to avoid drinking caffeine late in the day because it won't kick in until later in the evening when you are ready to sleep.

Focus on your strengths - I also recommend spending some time really thinking about the things you’re good at, and find ways to do more of those things because trust me they will make you happy. Focusing on your strengths will help you keep your stresses down a little. For me, I find something relaxing like blogging! I love doing this when I feel stressed because it calms me down a little bit and reminds me that I can breathe. 

Talk to someone - Its so much easier dealing with stress if you talk to someone about what it is that is bothering you so much, you may think that they don't understand but in fact they understand more than you think and will help you overcome your problem. 



I decided to ask some of my friends too about how they deal with stress, and this is what they had to say..

Nicole - 'Talk to your mum about it if it gets tough, this means you can express you're feelings and have a good cry and not take it out on your friends because if they react in a bad way then you might loose them. Have a journal and write down any worries and thoughts and then you can think easily when your mind is clear on how to resolve them' 
Aamira - 'If you feel that it's getting too much ie. the workload, the revision ect. take a break! Watch tv, browse the internet or get something to eat but make sure to limit your break time because the more you rest, the less motivated you'll be to work and the more work load and stress you'll have to deal with.' 
Rachel - 'Listening to calming music, or roll around on the floor. Odd but it works' 

If you deal with stress then let me know your tips on how you manage with it, and if you ever need someone to talk that isn't your friend or family member then feel free to talk to me!

Aumtum Picks; Berry + Nude Lips

Aumtum Picks; Berry + Nude Lips

Another Autumn Picks for you today, if you missed my previous one then make sure to check it out here.  I've done nails and it makes sense in my mind to now do lips, in the Autumn I love wearing Berry colours and deep reds but as you can guess by the title I also wear nudes? Is that allowed? Well, I do and I am sure so many others do. 

Aumtum Picks; Berry + Nude Lips

In the order of the swatches above; 
2True Lipgloss// I have no idea what shade this is but this lip gloss is less than £2, and its an plum shade and looks amazing in the winter time. If you want something that isn't too heavy in colour so you can still wear it even if you are scared of bold lip colours.
 - MUA Matte in Wild Berry// This is such a gorgeous colour and an amazing formula. This was my most worn lipstick last year and even though it looks like a berry colour in the tube (very deceiving) it comes out this lovely deep pink colour and is warm toned. I wouldn't say it lasts all day and is awful when you have dry lips it looks so flaky. 
- Bourjois Rouge in Nude-ist// This is by far my favourite from the whole range, and I think will look perfect in this season because when its on the lips I think it looks really deep and lovely. I won't ramble on for too long because i just love them ok. 
Revlon Lip Butter in Peach Parfait// Now on to the nude colours, this one is slightly a pinker nude and is great for you non daring girls. This time of year, its a lovely colour to wear everyday and at night and these are so moisturising too. 
Revlon Matte Balm in Sultry// Now, my favourite of the bunch and one I will wear the most this year. This matte balm is a muted red/brown shade and looks natural on the lips even if it looks scary in the tube, the formula is also amazing and very long lasting I suggest you certainly try it out!

Urban Decay Naked Basics 2

Last week I was very easily tempted into buying the Naked 2 Basics palette because the colours looked a lot more wearable for me, Then I saw on twitter that the lovely lot over at Cohorted had it going for a fraction of the price! And I managed to get it just before they all went and it arrived just a few days later and the first thing I did was take a photo of it and swatch it for you lovely lot because I have this habit of not touching products until they have been photographed. 

The Packaging
I don't have the first Basics palette so I was unaware of just how small this palette is!! And its safe to say that it is the size of my palm, which makes me love it more because for travelling and carrying it around is perfect. It also comes with a mirror which is always a bonus for all travel like things, I did however struggle opening it and ended up using my teeth - oops!

The Shadows
For me UD know exactly how to do eye-shadows, they have it sorted and better than that they do matte shadows the best compared to any other brand I have ever tried. The shadows are so buttery and soft, the pigmentation is amazing and applying them makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside.

Skimp – nude satin
Stark – nude-pink matte
Frisk – warm grey matte
Cover – purpley-brown matte
Primal – brown matte
Undone – deep smokey brown matte

Overall
I love, love this palette not just the size but also the colours of the palette as they are very wearable and for me easy to apply on just a daily basis but also if i was going somewhere because you can really smoke it up! Let me know if I should maybe consider buying the first one as well. i am very easily convinced!

Autumn Primark Haul


I did a tiny little bit of shopping in Primark the week, even though I went in with the mind set of buying lots of things I didn't because it was crazy and I just wanted to get out! The things I did pick up however have filled up that little bit of extra space in my wardrobe! 

The first place I went to was the shoe department, for some new wide foot flat pumps as mine are on the verge of collapsing! Primark have the cheapest ones compared to anywhere else in the world and even though they don't last very long, they are very very comfy!

I then picked up some more nails and if you saw this post, then you will know that I loved the first packet I got and it was a no-brainer that I would be picking up some more. This time the patterned ones didn't appeal to me and instead I went with the plain coloured ones! 

Like I said, Primark was very busy and so I decided not to spend so much time looking around the busy areas and instead just picked up two things for myself. The first thing on the left is one of their basic t-shirts that has a lovely spotty pattern on, along with long sleeves so perfect for this time of year! The other buy was a patterned shirt, not only is the pattern very elegant and nice but the shirt also has a peplum feature and looks surprisingly flattering on me!

No doubt I will be going back to Primark soon to stock up on jumpers and boots!

Golden Chestnut Eye shadow - This is an oil free shadow, so for those of you like me who use primers forget them because you don't need one! I didn't use one in this picture above and it lasted all day on my face and I had two events on the same day, the formula of these are super creamy and very easy to apply and blend out. I used the gold colour as my main eyelid colour as well as putting some in the crease and it looked amazing! 

Sam Fine Supreme Lip Gloss- Canary Diamond - This lip gloss is a beaut and if you love wearing gloss then this is one for your collection! This very transparent gold colour looks great on its own and on the top of other colours such as red and you will be really sparkly! This lip gloss is also not very sticky and doesn't create that glue like feeling that many glosses do.
