How to Stay Organised throughout Exam Season



Considering it's coming up to Exam time I thought it would be a good time to share with you some tips on how to stay organised. I really enjoy keeping myself all organised, especially when it comes to school so I hope that you also gain some motivation to become more organised (if you're not already) and enjoy reading through some of these tips.

Planner
So my first tip is to buy yourself a planner, this can either be a 'day to day' or a 'weekly' planner. These help to keep me super organised when it comes to revising as I plan out the exact days and times I'm going to revise. It also helps me to remember to do homework and also when to write my blogposts, overall I definitely think you should invest in a planner as they honestly help so much!! 

Highlighters 
This tip you have probably heard hundreds of times but honestly it works so well!! By using highlighters and colour coordinating your day it can really help. As an example you could highlight all exam related things in pink and all revision things in yellow. It's totally up to you but this tip goes hand in hand with your planner.

Alarms
So my final tip on how to stay organised throughout exam season is set yourself alarms. This may sound weird but when you need to take something specific into school with you for an exam set an alarm for around 15-20 minutes before you leave the house and that way your phone will tell you to pick something up and hopefully you won't forget it!! 

So those were a few of my organisation tips for exam season, I hoped this helped and good luck to all you of taking exams soon, you'll do amazing!!

5 Easy Ways To Stay Fit In Spring



It feels like absolutely ages since I last did a Fitness Post, so guess what? I have one for you today!! For today's post I thought would share with you 5 Easy Ways To Stay Fit In Spring.

Youtube Workouts
These are possibly my favourite ways to stay fit as you don't even have to leave your house!! My favourite Youtube Channel for Fitness is defintley Blogilates. As she has a range of different workouts that suit everyone, and there's a new workout more or less everyday!!

Walks
Again this is something I love to do in the Spring because as well as keeping fit, you get to admire the scenery around you. This is something that you can do with friends or by yourself either way it's a super fun way to keep fit and to be fair you don't really realise that your doing exercise.

Fitness Magazines
Over the past year there has been a lot of Fitness Magazines released and personally I think their brilliant!! In the magazines you usually get monthly workouts that get progressively harder as you go on, but their are also plenty of recipes for you to try out. Overall this is probably one of my favourite ways to stay fit throughout the Spring!!

Chores
Now this one may seem a little weird but whilst doing chores you're actually exercising and because it's now Spring, it's the perfect time for a spot of Spring Cleaning!! This is a really good exercise if you're quite a busy person and can't fit working out and tidying, by themselves into one day!!

Eat Healthily
This is one tip you're probably sick of hearing by now but trust me, you don't have to cut out every single piece of junk food in your diet!! Just add in things like Fruit or Smoothies, you're body will thank you for it!! And drink lots of Water, especially if you're working out!!

So those are 5 Easy Ways To Stay Fit in Spring, I hope you guys enjoyed this post and maybe you gained some inspiration to work out yourself!!

Buying things for my room is probably one of my favourite things to do!! I love looking in cute shops to find things, and then putting it in my room. Recently I was kindly bought a few things so I thought I would share them with you!!

Disclaimer- I'm not trying to brag in extremely grateful for being bought these!! 

Matalan Copper Basket // £5
When I spotted this I was so excited and I was so happy when I found out the price. The basket looks like it should be a lot more expensive and from high end home shops!! I store my Victoria Secret Sprays in here and they look so pretty!! 

Matalan Copper Door Hooks // £6
The next thing I got from Matalan was too hard to photograph so you'll probably end up seeing it in my Room Tour (coming in the near future!!) Anyways it's such a gorgeous piece and for £6 you can't really go wrong. I'd like to thank my mum for buying me both of these!! 

Rose Gold Geometric Candle Holder // £7.99
Next up I was kindly bought this by my Grandma and it's a gorgeous Rose Gold Geometric Candle Holder. I'm not sure where I got this from but I know it's from a Garden Centre somewhere!! Anyways this is so pretty and reminds me a lot of the one from Urabn Outfiters!!

Sass and Belle Floral Heart // £3.75
Lastly I was kindly bought this gorgeous Floral Heart from Sass and Belle. I bought this from an independent store in Scarbourough called 'Bibelot Bee'. I've actually had this heart in my basket on the Sass and Belle website, so I was super excited to find it. It looks so pretty in my room and is perfect for Spring!! 

So that's my little home haul. I hope you guys enjoyed this post and maybe you'll have a little Homeware shopping trip soon!!

Spring Pamper Routine | Collab With thepastelstyle



Pamper Routines are one of my favourite posts to read and also some of my favourite videos to watch on YouTube!! Today I thought I'd share with you my current Pamper Routine for Spring. This is also a collab with the lovely Izzy from thepastelstyle, so make sure you check out her post and leave a nice comment!! 

So I firstly start off by doing my Nightly Skincare Routine (I'm going to do an updated one very soon!!) After that I run myself a bath and tonight I used the LUSH Creamy Candy Bubble Bar and my Soap&Glory Clean On Me Body Wash. Whilst in the bath I like to use a face mask and the one I use is the Boots Simply Sensitive Facial Cleansing Mask as this is really good and makes my skin feel super soft afterwards!! I also like to watch some YouTube whilst in the bath, I usually take it as a good time to catch up on the videos in my Subscription box.

Once I'm out of the bath, I will wash of my face mask and get into my pjs. By this time it's usually pretty late so I head into my room and watch either YouTube or a movie and then I head off to sleep!!

So that's my Pamper Routine, I hope you enjoyed and don't forget to check out Izzy's blog and find out what her Spring Pamper Routine is like!!

Spring Essentials



With Spring in full swing I thought it would be the perfect time to share with you my Spring Essentials. I love watching these type of videos on YouTube, but I don't tend to really see them on Blogs. I have quite a few Spring Essentials ranging from Perfume to Clothing, so lets get started!!

Perfume
So my absolute favourite perfume for the Spring time is Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream, I first saw this on Alisha Marie's channel and I thought it would be nice to treat myself to a new spring perfume. This smells amazing and is super florally which is perfect for the Spring!!

Nails
Moving onto nails, it obviously has to be pastel colours!! I picked out my top 3 colours which are: Matt White, Eat My Dust and Rose Hip. All of these colours are gorgeous and are perfect for the springtime, my favourite is definitely Rose Hip as it's a really pretty pastel pink!!

Bath & Shower
When it comes to bath and shower products my favourite brand is definitely Soap&Glory. They have a such a wide extent of scents that I love!! My favourite for the Springtime is the Smoothie Star scent as this has a really nice smell of baking too it and to me it smells super fresh. Whenever I'm in the bath/shower these are always the products I use!!

Accessories
Of course I had to include my Polaroid in this post as it is one of my absolute favourite things ever!! Mine is pink (of course) and perfect for Spring because I can take loads of cute pictures outside!! I love taking my polaroid with me and it is amazing for capturing memories straight away!!

Bags & Shoes
Finally for the springtime I always like to get myself a new bag!! I decided to purchase this Pink Bag from New Look as I think it's super cute and the perfect size to carry all my things in!! As for shoes it definitely has to be a pair of White Converse as these look perfect (especially with frilly socks) with all my spring outfits!!

So those were my Spring Essentials, I love all of these and somehow they make Spring so much better and fun!! I hope you enjoyed this post and hopefully it gave you some ideas for some Spring Essentials of your own!!
