I no longer have to wear a uniform for school anymore. Myself and many others have been given the choice of what to wear every day. At first I had planned every other day of the week except my first official day back- introduction day. I'm one of those people where first impressions last, contributing to the fact that i find them important. Very important. You always want to make a good impression on those around you. Well, at least I do. So here's my little blog post on what I wore this week to sixth from...

Tuesday: 6.9.16

So this is what I went with for my first day back in over 10 weeks since I'd finished my exams. Possibly one of my favourite outfits that I wear a lot, it just took me a bit to realise that it's alright for the first day. The dark grey top pictured above is not the exact one that i wore. My excuse is that Polyvore didn't have my one that i own on their website so i got the nearest lookalike for the set because it's no longer sold.  I get a lot of questions from where my bomber jacket is from (I wear it a bit too much but i love it so...), so here's a little list where you can find the clothes from this outfit:

Bomber Jacket: Topshop - £55

Black MOTO Holding Power Joni Jeans- Topshop- £45

Calvin Klein Lacey T-shirt- John Lewis- £35

Nike Roshe Run Trainers- Very.co.uk- £80

Denim Dolly Button Through Skirt in Mid Wash Blue- ASOS- £24

Black 1/4 length top- M&S- £6

Tights-M&S- £5

White Converse- Selfridges- £49

For today's post i wanted to do something a little different. I'm going back to school within the time span of a couple of days, for me though I'm just returning as a new student into the world of A-levels, UCAS, and thinking about university options. The one thing I absolutely dreaded when beginning secondary school was trying to have to meet the expectations of those implied by all of the American TV shows I had watched within the summer leading up to the next 5-7 years of my life. My secondary school education. To say the least it was nothing like High School Musical- which i had become addicted with at the age of 7. There wasn't any particular groups to try and get in like those shown in Grease. Instead it was a whole new level of awkward. Don't get me wrong we had the class clown in every lesson. He wasn't that funny. It got quite annoying after a while- hearing the same jokes repeated just in a different accent. After completing my formal education it's safe to say I've accumlated a list of advice I wish I had been given in some form or shape throughout the 5 years that defiantly had it's up and downs. Just I decided to do it alphabetically. 

Advice depends on who's dishing it out- that being a parent or a teacher, maybe even a fellow student

Be who you want to be 

Change is good

Don't let anyone try and shape you into a person that you're not and never will be 

Everyone is different; no one is the exact same 

Friends will come and go 

Girls will be bitches- kill' em with kindness

Hope-always have it

Illness will strike; don't fret about it

Just be to nice to people

Know your limits- push them and make new ones

Love openly, honestly and everyday

Memories will be made every day of your life

Never give up

Options. You have a lot of them- pick the best one for you; for example college or sixth form

Photos remind you of those memories you encountered- treasure them 

Questions were invented for a reason- ask them when you're stuck and need help

Revise your ass off and succeed

See who you truly are and live by it

Teachers only have your best interests at heart--no matter how much you hate their lesson

Unleash your inner Sasha Fierce when nervous/scared about something 

Victory is won by working for it 

Winners will sometimes be losers and that's ok

X-out the hatred inside of you

Yolo- isn't true- you live every day so make everything count 

Zoning out every once in a while is good. 

This moisturiser in particular is a particular favourite of mine, especially before i put on makeup. Simply because it is so lightweight on the skin and gives you a nice little glow to your skin which shines through your makeup (depending on your coverage that is). I wouldn't recommend it for those who like having a moisturiser that  heavily hydrates your skin or for those who have a dry skin- just because of how light it is. I'd highly recommend it to those who have normal skin: best to put on before makeup. 

Now this one is defiantly for those who have dry skin-combination skin...like me! This moisturiser is on the more hydrating side of the scale and perfect for tackling your dry skin (when it occurs). If you're skin is combination but more dry than oily than this moisturiser will be perfect for you!

This has to be my favourite moisturiser of all time. Hands down. After walking into the nearest Clinique counter and explaining my dilemma they pointed me in the direction of this moisturiser in particular. After having a little discussion over what i wanted to change within my skin (particularly the dry aspects that annoyed me beyond belief- no matter how often i exfoliated, cleansed and washed my face, those little dry patches didn't go away!). Until this little god send appeared in my skincare regime. It's safe to say that my skin has become a whole lot better since trying this product and i'll defiantly be re-purchasing it, very soon. It's even better than the moisturiser my doctor had prescribed me to battle with eczema. As you can tell...it's my favourite.
