A Guide For Getting Through Sixth Form!

Hello Everyone,

Today I wanted to provide a sort of guide for getting through sixth form been as I have just finished my first year & some of you may be starting sixth form in September. I have thought of a few tips to help you to do you best in sixth form. I hope you like this post. 

Keep On Top Of Your Work!
I would say that keeping on top of you work is essential to ensure that you do well in sixth form and enjoy your time there. Get yourself a diary and write down all of you homework and deadlines in it. This will help you to remember what needs to be done. I also like to write a list of homework and stick it on my cork board and cross each one off as I do it. It feels so satisfying to see that you are getting things done. Once you start to get behind you may struggle to catch up so try and complete any work as soon as possible.

Start Revising Early!
This is a mistake that a lot of people (including myself) make every year. Every year we promise to start revising earlier next time and then we never do. Seriously though it is best to start early because it allows you to get everything done and avoids any panicking in the week or days before the exam.

Keep Calm and Relax!
I personally think that sixth form is a lot of work. You do tend to get a lot of homework and coursework with strict deadlines. However, when this happens I think the main thing you have to do it keep calm and put things in to perspective so that you can find a solution. As long as you keep on top of things you shouldn't end up getting to stressed. My other point under this title is to relax. Make sure you give yourself time to relax doing something you enjoy because you don't want your two years of sixth form to be full of work and stress.

Enjoy the Social Side of Sixth Form!
I find that there is more of a chance to socialise in sixth form so I would advise you to take advantage of this. Try to chat to new people and make new friends. It makes your time at sixth form much more enjoyable and there is always someone to talk to.

Use Your Study Periods!
Many people don't use their study periods but they are really useful. If you can get all your homework done in your studies then it means you have more time to relax at home. Therefore, I would say that it would be a good idea to take advantage of your study periods.

They are all of the main points that I would say are the tips that will help you to get through sixth form. I try to do all of these so I hope you have found this post helpful. :)

1. Are Jason & Mr D ok?
2. Are the mums ok after being trapped in the basement?
3. Did A get arrested of did she go back to Radley?
4. Who is Alison married to in Five Years Forward?
5. Are we going to find out the rest of A's story?
6. Did Mona get out of A's tech liar? 
7. Where were the boyfriends in the last episode? Are they ok?
8. How did Sara Harvey get involved with A? 
9. Are the liars still with their boyfriends in Five Years Forward?
10. Who killed Mrs. D?
11. Who killed Maya & why did they kill her?
12. Who is 'he'?
13. What happened to Jenna, Lucas, Wren, etc?

Pretty Little Liars Season 6 Mid-Season Finale!

*THIS POST MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS IF YOU HAVE NOT WATCHED THE LAST PLL EPISODE. I WOULDN'T WANT TO RUIN IT FOR ANYONE SO PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO FIND OUT WHO A IS*

Hello Everyone,

I wanted to share my opinion with you on the Pretty Little Liars Season 6 mid-season finale today. I am going to try to attempt to write this post without giving too much away just in case people haven't watched it yet but I might accidentally give something away so as the disclaimer at the top of the page shows please do not read this if you don't want to know who A is.

I know people have had mixed opinions on who A was and how it was revealed but I personally loved it. In my opinion it was exciting and I was very shocked at who A turned out to be. I did not expect that sort of story line to happen and it actually made me feel quite for sorry for A even after everything they had done the liars. 

I think the reason behind why A acted as they did is so sad because a lot of what happened to them wasn't because of them but because of how people around A acted. I would have never predicted that would be the outcome. 

I think they all acted really well and I did love the episode as I felt excited and and nervous whilst watching it & was completely shocked when A was revealed.

However, the episode did end abruptly. I can see why because it leaves it on a cliff hanger for when it comes back but it has left me with so many questions. For example

• Are Jason & Mr D ok?
• What happened to Sara that night?
• Did the mums get out of the basement?
• What was the reaction of the people of Rosewood when they found out who A was and about A's story?

The Five Years Later part has left me so excited for the return of PLL. I'm so excited to find out what they are all doing now & of course, I am so excited to find out who 'he' is and what the story line is that comes with him. 

I absolutely loved the mid-season finale & I can't wait for it to come back in January. If you haven't watched PLL I definitely recommend it.

Baby Lips!

Hello Everyone,

Today I wanted to do a blog post on Baby Lips by Maybelline. I hope you like it.

I have four of the Baby Lips. They are:

• Pink Punch 
• Cherry Me
• Peach Kiss 
• Mint Fresh

I really recommend Baby Lips for a number of reasons so I have made a list of why I love them for you.

1. They leave nice, subtle colours on your lips which aren't too bright which makes them good for casual wear. 
2. They are really moisturisng because they are like a lip balm which is also good because it means that you don't have the worry of it getting on your teeth like you do with lipsticks.
3. I really like the packaging as well. It's really cool and bright which I think looks really nice.
4. They're small which means they are perfect to carry around in your pocket or handbag.
5. They are really affordable at just £3.99 each.
6. According to the Maybelline website the product protects and moisturises for up to 8 hours which I think is great.

I definitely recommend Baby Lips. If you are interested in buying some you can get them on the Maybelline website. Click here to go there now. I hope you have enjoyed reading this blog post. :)

Long Hair Problems!

Hello Everyone,

Today I wanted to do a blog post on all the annoying things about having long hair. I love having long hair because it looks so pretty and there are so many different styles you can do with it but I have to admit that there are some annoying things about having long hair. So, here they are:

•  It gets stuck to your lip gloss - I hate when there is a bit of wind and then your hair gets stuck to your lip gloss. I tend to avoid wearing lip gloss on windy days as I know the result. 
• It takes ages to dry - I prefer to let my hair dry naturally because it's much healthier for you hair but having long hair means that it takes ages. This means that if I want it to dry naturally I have to go in the shower really early on in the evening. It also takes forever to dry with the hair dryer as well. My hair is also quite thick which means I have to dry it in sections which takes a very long time.
• It also takes ages to curl/straigten - This is another thing that takes so long with long hair. Also as soon as I curl my hair it drops out because my hair is quite thick as well as being long.
• It goes crazy in the wind - When you go out when it's really windy it's best to wear long hair up because otherwise you will not be able to see for your hair being everywhere.
• It gets caught in everything - The amount of times my hair gets caught around my earrings, under my bag strap or in my watch is unbelievable and it really hurts.
• It gets everywhere - My family often moan at me for getting my long hair everywhere. It also gets stuck to my clothes all the time so I have to check there isn't any on me before I go out. 
• It's heavy - As I have mentioned my hair is quite thick as well as being long which means it is quite heavy. Therefore, despite looking pretty when it's down, I find it much more comfortable to wear it up when I'm at home.
• It takes ages to grow - It takes quite a long time to grow your hair so every time I have a haircut I get really worried that they will cut it too short and it will take me ages to grow it back.

I do love having my hair long but these are just some of the things that annoy me about it. I also love short hair but I much prefer long hair on me. I'm sure some of these things happen to people with short hair as well. I hope you have enjoyed this blog post. Let me know if you can relate to any of these annoying things about having long hair. :)

My Favourite Bath Products!

 Hello Everyone,

Today I wanted to a blog post about my favourite bath products. I LOVE having baths because I find them so relaxing and I really like using bubble bath and bath bombs to make my bath as relaxing as possible. So, here are some of favourite bath products.

My first favourite bath product is the 'I Love...relaxing bath soak'. I absolutely love this bubble bath because it smells so nice. I find the smell of this really relaxing and because it doesn't change the colour of the bath water it makes me feel really clean. I definitely recommend it so if you're interested in buying it you can click LINK to go to the website.

Another of my favourite bath products is the 'Avon Mr Frosty' in spiced Apple. This is part of their festive range so I don't think it will be available to buy at the moment but I'm sure it will come back next year. This bubble bath definitely has a very festive smell because it smells like apples and is very sweet. I love it. 

I also love Zoella's Soak Opera bubble bath. This is also very relaxing and is something I use a lot. I would definitely re-purchase it when it runs out as it is just really relaxing and smells so nice. If you want to buy this product you can click LINK to go to the website.

My final bath favourites are Lush Products because I think they make baths so much more fun because they make the water such pretty patterns. Some of my favourite Lush bath products are:

• Butter Ball 
• The Comforter
• Northern Lights
• Sakura 
• Twightlight

If you're interested at looking on the Lush website click here.

So they are some of my favourite products to use when I'm in the bath because they make me feel so relaxed. I hope you have liked this blog post. :)
