Starting University - All you need to know

"Have I chosen the right course"?, "Will I make new friends"?, "What do I need to bring with me"?, "What if I miss home and decide it's not for me"?...

Starting university is one of the most exciting, yet most frightening times of your life. Trust me, we have all been there!
I remember the upcoming weeks before enrolling onto my course and I had about a million questions whizzing through my mind. It was a really exciting time for me because this was going to be the first time I'd be living away from home. I also particularly remember feeling nervous and scared. Nobody would be there to do my washing, nobody would be there to make sure that I was up in the mornings and above all, nobody would be there to cook my all time favourite lasagna!

I remember researching everything I could and reading many student forums to make sure that I had everything that I needed. I was so worried that I'd arrive to my halls and realise that I'd forgotten something important behind, or even worse, that I wouldn't like anyone that I was living with and that I'd be lonely for the rest of my years at uni.
Yep, it's crazy the kind of thoughts that go through your mind when you're stressing out!

Let me tell you though, none of this was important or even necessary for me to have had. What I didn't realise at the time, was that this was going to be a fresh start to my life, a new chapter. It didn't matter if I had forgotten something behind, or if I now had to learn how to cook. None of this was important because I was finally going to grow up and flourish into a better me. To this day, I wish I hadn't worried so much about these minor things because before I knew it it was all over so fast :(

So anyway, I figured that there are probably a lot of young people who are currently in the same position that I was in a few years ago. So I thought I would write a quick guide, or at least tell you about my experience and the ways to go about things in order to make these next few years the best you've ever had!

                                              -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, you've chosen your course, you've got your accommodation sorted, now all that's left is making sure you pack the important things you'll need and get yourself ready for this new chapter.
By now, you should have received a guide to your freshers week, giving you all the information you need to know as well as a guide with some sort of schedule with your moving in day. Although, let;s not forget that some uni's aren't as organised as others, so if you haven't received anything, fear not! I will try to list out the things that you need to know below:

Before arrival:

1. Make a list of all the things that you need to bring with you. Some accommodations supply a lot of the trinklets and bits and bobs that you need in your social space and bedrooms. However, make sure you find out exactly what is being provided for you. Then make a list of all the ESSENTIAL things that you will need (I have done a separate post with a University Checklist). 
2. Make sure that you have printed any arrival documentation that you will need when you move in and for enrolment. This may be things such as passport, letters of acceptance, exam certificates and anything which you may have been told to bring with you. Make sure you read your emails carefully because they will often tell you about these things. 
3. Make sure you know your moving in date and the times, visit your university website, Facebook and Twitter pages, to find out whether they are posting any freshers information. I particularly remember that my university halls had a separate Facebook page where people could post their flat numbers so that others living in the same flats could comment. This was a great way to meet people before arriving! 

Moving in day: 

1. I don't know about you, but I'm one of those people who likes to make sure everything is packed from the day before so that on the day I don't have to think about anything other than getting myself to where I need to be. If you are also like this, or struggle to get to places on time, I advice you ensure that you have everything packed from the night before so that all you have to do is get yourself moved in. 
2. Once you arrive, make sure you follow the instructions that you were given before moving in (by this point you would have certainly received something telling you where to go)
3. Once you've moved your stuff into your room, what I advise you to do next is to leave your bedroom door open so that if you haven't already met the others living in your flat, this would be an opportunity to meet them when they arrive!

Meeting people: 

I must say that at the time, I was not the best person when it came to socialising. I was always quite shy to approach new people but this is where you really have to make the effort to conquer your fears and get talking! 

Honestly, I cannot stress this enough but the more people you will meet in freshers week, the better it will be. People will be as friendly as they're going to get during this stage, so it's best to get to know as many of them as you can. I'm not saying to over do it, but just make the effort to be yourself and show the best side of you. 

You'll soon realise that you'll naturally "click" with some people over others and before you know it, you'll have made so many new acquaintances and new friends :)

First day of lectures:

Eeeek, the "scary" day. I remember this day so clearly, I struggled to sleep the night before because I was so worried to go to class actually having to learn things that at the time, I imagined would be so hard for me to understand. But honestly, I was fine... 

All I can suggest, is firstly to make sure that you have your timetable printed. I printed mine as soon as it was available online. I even made my own version so it looked pretty and colourful up on my pin board. Then make sure that you have read all of your modules guidelines and have any books and literature printed so that you can be prepared before your lectures. If you can get into the habit of doing this early on, believe me, you'll ACE uni! 

Then make sure that you have any equipment that you may need, depending on your course/module this would vary. 

Finally...

Enjoy yourself. These next few years are going to change you so much. You are going to learn not only a lot about the course that you will be studying but also about yourself. You'll grow up as a person and you'll finally be able to see what you are capable of. Make sure you take lots of pictures, keep a diary and just make it a time to remember!

I wish all of those starting uni in September all the best and don't hesitate to get into contact or comment down below if I've not answered any questions!

Thanks for reading and I hope that you've found this post helpful!

What to bring to University

Hello lovelies,

I figured that during the next upcoming month there will be lots of you getting ready to embark on the next chapter of your lives...University. 

Having been through it all before and I realise how stressful this time may be for you. Getting everything together and ensuring that you are well prepared before the big "Moving in day" is something that we've all dreaded doing before. I still remember buying a whole pack of notepads and filling them up with things that I felt I needed to bring with me to university. I remember spending hours on websites and student forums reading up on lists telling you what you need to bring to uni. However, I thought I'd try to save you all some time and give you a list of items that you will most probably need. 

Be aware though, that some of these things may vary depending on the accommodation that you will be staying in. So be sure to check what your accommodation will be providing you with before you go off and buy everything you see below!

Forza Supplements "SHAKE IT SLIM" Review + Tips on how I became FITTER

Hello lovelies,

I hope that you're all well!

I did say when I first started my blog that I would be doing both beauty, lifestyle and fashion posts, but because I am totally makeup OBSESSED, the beauty posts have been more common than the rest.

Nevertheless, today's post is more on the lifestyle side :)

I recently joined the Forza Supplements bloggers program and I received the Shake It Slim meal replacement starter pack, to trial out and review for you guys!  

For those of you who already follow me on Instagram, you will know that since beginning university (4 years ago) I put on a hell of a lot of weight! You know it, life as a fresher means literally eating your own body weight in takeaway meals 2/3 times a week...so of course it was not surprising that after 4 months into uni I started to look like a whale, literally. 

However, luckily I managed to get my myself back into gear last year whilst I was away on placement by following the Kayla Itsines Bikini Body guide (for anyone who does not know who she is, check out her Insta as she posts some very inspiring transformation pictures every day). By the end of the 12 week guide, I had managed not only to shed all of the weight that I had gained, but I also became a lot fitter and stronger. 

So anyway, like most people do when they lose a lot of weight, times get hard and cheat cravings start to kick in. Usually, with some control and determination, I can resist to the temptations however, whilst I was on holiday in Italy for 2 weeks I ate, ate and ate until I got to the point where I could no longer fit into the jeans that I had bought with me. Yes, that's right... I was an actual PIG and just gave into EVERYTHING... When I finally came home, reality kicked in and I was seeking a rapid way to help me fit back into my jeans. 

The Forza diet shakes are what I used to help me. The pack I received contained enough shakes to keep me going for 7 days. Essentially the shakes are a meal replacement which you are supposed to take twice a day and include one healthy meal at whichever time you prefer. Personally, I tried to follow the plan by drinking two shakes a day. I was having one for breakfast and one for dinner with a big lunch around 3pm. However, I found that by 8pm I would be feeling very hungry as the dinner time shake was not filling enough. 

Since I was also training, I decided to substitute just ONE meal per day, depending on what time I was going to the gym. For example, if I was training in morning, I would have the shake in the evening for dinner, that way I could have a large breakfast to refuel me after the gym. Whilst for those days where I would be going to the gym in the evenings, I'd have the shake for Breakfast. 

Result: I found that they really helped me to debloat and get rid of that water that all of the salty holiday food had made me retain. With just 204 calories per shake, it meant that my weight loss happened much sooner as I was able to stay below my 1,200 calorie intake for the day. The added bonus was that surprisingly, the shakes tasted very nice! They came in 3 different flavours, Strawberry, Vanilla and Chocolate (Strawberry was my favourite), And I was soon able to fit back into my jeans comfortably :). 

On the downside however, I would not recommend this plan for longer than 7-12 days as it is tough and probably not very healthy! I would encourage anyone who wishes to lose weight to follow a healthy diet plan with proper food and exercise. It would be a LOT more effective in the long run as well as being more feasible to maintain. 

I would however recommend these shakes to anyone who is about to go on holiday and wants to shed a few extra pounds or for those "Fatties" like myself, who have just returned from their holiday and need an extra boost to shed the weight off.  

All in all, I would give these an 8/10. They taste great, they work (in the short-run) and are affordable. On the other hand if you do follow the instructions i.e: 2 shakes per day, you will most likely be finding yourself getting hungry which will lead to you snacking in between. I would definitely recommend that you drink just ONE per day and eat 2 healthy meals along with some physical exercise and you will have some quick results! 

For anyone who is interested, you can find FORZA supplements in Superdrug, Holland and Barrets and on their own website which I will link here. 

I hope that you have enjoyed this post. Do let me know your thoughts and whether you have tried these or anything similar before and how it worked for you :)

How I deal with stress at University

Hello lovelies,

Please please excuse my absence. Yes I've done it again! I've allowed myself to get carried away with uni work, friends and whatever else I have in my sad little life that I've neglected my blog. 

Anyway, I've come back home for the Christmas break and I am super excited to finally be able to take a few days to chill out and relax a bit from the stress and lectures. However, I mustn't get carried away because of course as it's probably the case for most of you at uni, when I go back in January I will have assessments and all that malarkey going on which means one thing ... I need to revise during the break! Oh joy! -__- 

Now, let me say that I HATE revising, no seriously, I hate it so much that I will put it off until the very last minute, then I will panic and cram and go into my exams and come out with the same feeling every year "FML why didn't I start revising earlier"? 

Tell me I'm not the only one to do this? 

Anyway I'm in my final year this year so back in September I told myself that I wouldn't allow myself to do what I always do and that I would stay on top of things. Did this happen?! Nope, well actually, I was slightly better than usual but I could have been a LOT better. 

So here I am already knowing that although I'm allowing myself the next couple of days to relax, at the back of my mind I will not actually be relaxing because I'll be feeling guilty about not doing work etc. 

Recognise this feeling?

Nevertheless, there have been a few things this year that have helped me to be that tad bit better, in particular with the way that I've dealt with stress and everything else. So I thought it would be a good idea to share these things with you (even if the majority are common sense) because maybe, just maybe, I'll be able to help one of you guys reading this. 

First things first, make a separate timetable from your lectures. 

This timetable will be based around your "free" time which you will dedicate to studying as well as personal breaks for you to do what you love. 

What worked well with me this year was having a planner and for once actually using it! What I did was I took a note of all the work that I needed to do by the end of the week and every day I'd schedule myself 3/4 of those tasks to do, be it reading, research for dissertation, essay writing and whatever else. I then would tick off the exercises I'd completed as I went along. 

Now let me say that the feeling I'd get when I finally ticked something off the list was great. For someone like me who struggled in the past years to stay on top of things. Ticking things off is an achievement in itself. 

Do be aware that the only down side about this is that if you do not manage to complete the tasks you set yourself that "guilt" feeling can easily kick in. You need to stay head strong and fight it off. Realise that it's completely normal to have less productive days, or even, that some tasks naturally take longer than you expected hence leaving you no time to finish off whatever else you had planned. The beauty in this is that if you try to keep on top of things, it doesn't matter too much if you can't finish something off one day because you'll have time at some point in the week to catch up and still be on top ;). 

Secondly it's important to stay active. 

During first and second year of uni, I allowed myself to eat and eat and eat without ever thinking about what I was actually doing to my body. Every time I'd feel guilty about not doing work or felt stressed out by the work load, I'd eat. My solution to everything was to go out and have a McDonald's or order a Chinese with my flat mates. It took very little time before I started to pile on the weight and by the end of my second year I'd gained a whopping stone! I'm 5ft so a whole stone made a HUGE difference to my appearance and I soon started to feel even more demotivated and wanted to eat even more. This had a knock on effect on my studies because that de motivation and horrible feeling inside me started to show through my work as I became less and less interested in actually doing the work. 

Then came results day and I got a hit in the face and realised that I needed to change this because it was not what I had come to uni for. 

So mid way through second year I started to make baby steps by signing up to the gym and working out a bit. However I'd been unhealthy for so long that my stamina and endurance level was so low that I really struggled with any form of exercise which was longer than 10 mins. Nevertheless,I kept at it and I was lucky enough to then move to Paris during my third year and this is where I was able to change things around. During my placement I made effort to eat healthy and cut down the take outs and boy did I start seeing results! This slowly started to gain confidence back in myself and I started to work out  everyday and managed to get into a routine with my flat mate and by the end of the year I had lost the stone that I'd gained in the previous years at uni. 

This for me was a little milestone because it helped me bring that positivity back in my life. 

So of course, this year, I've kept at it. The first thing I did when I got to uni was sign up to the gym. I make effort to go 6 times a week for about 40-60 mins each time. This for me is a time where I let ALL the stress out. When I'm stressed out I go there and I just think of all the crap that's bothering me and let it out whilst I'm working out. Yes it's painful and I hate it there and then. Whilst I'm doing it I'm usually thinking "Why did I come"?

But let me tell you, not once have I ever come out of the gym and continued to think that. I know how important it is for me and how good it is for my body that when I come out I'm always so GLAD that I went. 

In turn makes me feel positive and helps me to stay motivated. 

Thirdly, make time for yourself. 

Whether it be going out, partying, hanging out with friends, shopping, practicing make up tutorials etc. It's important that you do it!

One of the things that always used to bother me, particularly during first and second year was that I felt that I didn't have time for myself. At the back of my mind I'd always be thinking about all the bits of work that I had which needed doing. This meant that when I did chill out, I didn't really relax and at times, I'd feel more stressed than I did before. 

So this year, as well as setting myself tasks and times to do work. I've also noted times where I allow myself to free my mind and relax. What I like to do is usually work until around 8pm and then stop. 8-10 it's ME time. I do whatever I want, I watch series, hang out with my flatmates, read, watch YouTube videos just ANYTHING that I want. 

This really helps me to get through the day! I also feel like I'm not neglecting myself which is extremely important. I also allow myself 1 day a week (usually my gym rest day) to completely chill out and only really do about 2-3 hours of work max if I feel like it. This works well for me as it helps me to stay sane and be acknowledge that I do have a life and that not all of it evolves around uni work. 

Finally, something I've only started to do since the beginning of this year is to stay positive and be in touch with my spiritual inner self. 

Now let's not over analyse the word "spiritual" here. What I mean is my inner thoughts and the energies that I allow myself to take in. 

I think that the main thing which has helped me to do better this year is that I've managed to stay positive. I've cut out all the negative thoughts like "I can't do this" , "why did I come to uni"? , "I'm never going to get this". Whenever I even catch myself thinking anything negative like that, I stop myself and think of the reason why I initially went to uni (to have a good future) and primarily to prove to myself that I CAN do things and that I'm capable of achieving great things. This my lovelies is the most important thing you need to do. 

In my opinion clearing my mind from all negativity and only allowing myself to hold on to positive things has helped me the most so far this term. I've still a long way to go and so much to learn. Sometimes I stop and think about the beauty of the world and everything that there is to discover and to see that I start to see that my silly little worries about uni work or stressing are minuscule things that I really should not be wasting my energies on.  

The truth is that you CAN do it. Just remember that the majority of the times it's all just in your head! 

So there you have it :) (sorry for such a rambly post) but here you have my little tips on what has helped me to have a better attitude this year and most of all to TAME that stress and paranoia from getting the best of me. 

I hope you enjoyed and that I was able to help some of you! 

Please share your personal experiences and also what you like to do to relieve stress :)

Parisian Nostalgia

Paris also known as the 'City of lights' was my home for the past year. 

Yes that's right, I was lucky enough to live in this beautiful city for a whole 12 months.

You must be asking yourself what I was doing out there?

I am aware that so far I haven't shared any personal information about myself on this blog.

Therefore, I was hoping that this post would tell you a little bit more about me... 

The reason why I was living in Paris is because as part of my university degree, I was required to take a placement year abroad in a French speaking country. So of course what better option did I have than to choose to live in Paris?

On Sunday mornings I had gotten into a routine of going for walks around the city. Part of the reason for this was because I wanted to stay healthy and do some exercise, however, it was also because I wanted to make the most of it because I knew that soon enough it would all be over :(

Since I have been back, the weather in the UK has been rainy- of course that's nothing new. So on this rainy day, I was feeling a particularly nostalgic about Paris. 

Whilst looking through my pictures, I thought you'd like it if I shared some of my favourites with you...

This is probably my personal favourite, taken exactly one year ago. Can you guess where it is?

For those of you who are soon to visit Paris or even for those lucky ones amongst you that live there. I'm not afraid to say that I'm jealous of you right now :')

Make the most out of it because honestly, the saying is true, 'You don't know what you have until it's gone'. 

Living in Paris was an amazing experience for me. However I didn't appreciate it enough because like most cases, when you live somewhere, after a while you stop to appreciate it's beauty, culture, lifestyle etc. 

It's only now that I realise how lucky I have been to have had the opportunity to live in such a beautiful place.

How about you, where do you live? 

I hope you enjoyed this little post and if you wish you can share and tell me which one of the pictures was your favourite.

Cute and cheap DIY home decor

I have wanted to add some decorative touches to my bedroom for quite some time now. So, since summer is finally here, I thought it was about time that I started to change things up a bit.

It had been a while since I had gotten creative and done some DIY activities, so I decided to go and have a look at Hobbycraft to find bits and pieces and look for some inspiration. There was an awful lot to choose from, I honestly think that nowadays you can have so much fun and be creative for just a few pounds.

I picked up some Wicker hearts a pack of dried botanicals and some tacky glue as I wanted to experiment gluing the dried flowers to the hearts to make them look more rustic; with the aim of adding a bit more colour to the plain white.

They were extremely easy to make, in just over 10 minutes I had decorated all 3 hearts that came in the pack, plus a larger heart which I already had in my room.

I loved the end result! I found these hearts really cute and they’re great to add some extra decorative touches around a room.

I will definitely continue hunting for more DIY home decors and inspiration online. I also recommend making your own decors when you can because it’s fun and also helps save those extra pennies.

Let me know what you guys think and if you have any ideas for home DIY decors do comment down below!

Thanks for reading :)

Benefit "Brow Zings" Eyebrow Kit Review

Hey :)

I know it's a bit late but here I am with another post.

In my last blog post I spoke about my favourite mascara and told you about my love for long lashes. So this time I thought why not stay in theme and speak about eyebrows? 

Before I begin let me say that I know that this brow kit is kind of old and a lot of bloggers have rambled on about it for quite some time. However, since I am new to blogging I thought it would be a good idea for me to give it a try so that I could give you my review. 

For those of you who aren't familiar with it, this is what it looks like: 

Now, let me say that before using this kit I was completely inexperienced with eyebrows. I love long "fake" looking eyelashes but I'm not a fan of obvious fake looking "slug" eyebrows. 

As a beginner, I wasn't willing to invest into new eyebrow brushes so I was looking for something which was easy to use and that would have everything I needed. 

This benefit kit really did tick both of those boxes. The packaging is small and sleek- which is perfect as you can fit into an every day make up bag. It also comes with a hard-angled and blending brush, tweezers and a little "lesson" guide to tell you how to use it. 

On my first trial I had literally given myself an extra 20 minutes spare time to do my make up because I thought it would take me a long time. However, it took me just under 5 minutes to do. 

I would really reccommend this kit for first-time users as it really has the essentials that you would need. 

I chose to go for the "dark" shade as my eye brows are really dark however if unsure it's best to ask the make up consultants at the Benefit counters. 

Most Benefit counters offer to do your make up or even have your eyebrows done. So if you were looking to treat yourself, this could be an option to go for so that you are sure to have the right colour.  

In terms of value for money - At 34,99 euros/ roughly £28.00 I would say that it is fairly good. You only really need a tiny bit of product and it honestly is easy to use. So for those of you who don't mind spending a little bit more to have natural looking eyebrows this is a good one to try. 

Thank you for reading this post and I  hoped it helped :)

My go-to Mascara

Hello again :)

As promised here I am with my second blog post. 

This is a particular favourite of mine because as you can see from the title it's all about MASCARA. 

Being a sucker for long eyelashes has made mascara an essential make-up item for me. I could give up all other make-up if I had to but I could never give up on mascara. 

Since I began wearing make-up, mascara is the one thing I have invested a lot of money on in order to find the "perfect" one that works for me. Now believe me, I have tried them ALL, from high end designer mascara like YSL and Dior, to cheap drug store ones like Miss Sporty. However, the ONE I have bought over and over again is the 'L'Oreal Mega Volume Collagene 24'. 

I don't know what it is about this mascara but it really works wonders for me. It does exactly what it says on the package and gives my lashes lots of volume and great length without clumping! 

It comes in an a fairly big size at roughly £10,99 and I find that it is very long lasting. I can generally get two to three months use out of it before it starts to dry up - making it perfect, as you shouldn't be using the same mascara longer than 3 months anyway. 

I have recommended this mascara to all of my friends and most of them have loved it too! 

 For those of you who love the good ol' spider leg lashes without them looking trashy, this is definitely one to try out ;)

How about you, what is your favourite mascara? If you have any recommendations to make on volumising and lengthening mascaras then comment them down below :)

Hello there and welcome to my blog :)

As you can see this is my first ever post. I am super excited to start this new adventure into blogging. I have wanted my own blog for a long time for over 2 years now but I have never had the courage to actually post anything. So here I am, finally taking the plunge!

My aim is for this blog to become my little place where I can share and talk about what I love. Beauty plays a huge part in my life. It's something I can't really begin to explain but when I enter a beauty store everything else around me no longer exists. It just makes me extremely happy! 

I love trying out new beauty products and recently I have grown a passion for making my own beauty treatments, such as hair and facial masks. I enjoy hearing what other people enjoy using as well as sharing my own thoughts and giving advice to others. 

I know that there are so many of you out there who have a passion for all-things beauty and generally hearing about other people's lifestyles. If you're one of those people, then keep an eye on this blog as I have lots of exciting content I will be blogging about in the coming weeks.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and see you soon.
