How to relax before exams!

Our prelims start next week and I know that exams times are very stressful, I personally need to have time to relax otherwise I get too stressed. These are some of the ways I distress!

Have a DIY spa night! 

You've got to remember to treat yourself every once in a while and I find this is a great way to do so, as it's cheap if your on a budget and really relaxing. All you need is a face mask, a bath, a bath bomb ( I like to use lush bath bombs as they're my favourite) and YouTube or your favourite film! As long as your relaxing and having a bit of you time you will definitely feel less stressed! 

Go for walk

I find this a great way to distress. I love just putting my headphones on and going out for a walk it really helps calm me down (sometimes I take a camera to try and get some Instagram worthy pictures!)

Take the day off!

I know in the lead up to exams you try to revise everyday but, you need a day off. Treat yourself for the revision you've done and you'll feel great! You could meet up with friends or just have a well deserved lazy day at home! 

I hope this post helped you. If you have exams or tests coming up try not to stress too much because the results won't define you, good luck! 

If you have any tips on exams and stress comment them below!

How to make 2016 your year!

Its a new year and I hope to make this my best year so far, last year was good but I didnt do anything that really stood out as being something remarkable. I hope to do well at school and try my hardest with my hobbies but I also want to try new and exciting things . As this year progresses I hope to share anything I do with you,on this blog and I might even encourage you to go out and do something new!

To start off I'm going to share some of the things that I'm goung to do to try and make 2016 my year that you may want to try too~

Set goals and targets
Its easy just to do what you can to get by, but why not challenge yourself,make yourself work harder. Try to set targets that will take some work to achieve- but don't set unreachable ones you will just be disappointed when you don't quite achieve what you aspired. I try to set a target that I will not reach by just doing the bare minimum but is achievable if I ut the work in . If you believe in yourself and work hard you can do it!

Don't let others stop you!
You want to do something do it.... Of course to a certain extent! Don't let others stop you, its not their life its yours.Just doing what everyone else is doing is easy, it means you wont receive any remarks or peope telling you ,"you cant do that" but why do what others are dong when you can do what you want - incase you don't achieve it, who cares! At least you tried . I'm guilty of this, I don't want to be the one doing something differen to everyone else ,but this year I'm going to try and refrain from making my decisions based on others.

Leave the past behind you
Don't let things that have effected you in the past to keep coming back and haunting you, don't base decisions on thngs that you have done before- if you failed at something last year it doesn't mean you will fail at it this year! Focus on the future and believe!

The most important thing is just to enjoy the year and make the most of everything that's you get the chance to experience. Don't stress too much over things as most likely in a little while they will be irrelevant. 

I hope you enjoyed reading some of the ways I'm going to make this an amazing year.  Comment or tweet us (@TeaT42) with your goals for 2016!

Updated whats in my school bag!

So it's 15 days into January and I haven't started or even attempted any of my New Years resolutions!

Anyway I got a new school bag for Christmas so thought it was time for an updated what's in my school bag!

I'm not sure where this bag is from as my parents got it offline. It has one main pocket and then a smaller one at the front.

In the front pocket I keep my purse which is from primark, a lip balm, and my locker key.

In the big pocket I obviously have all my school books and my planner which is a life saver cause if I didn't have that I would never remember my homework or where I am meant to be so if you don't get given one at school I would highly recommend getting one!

I then have a bottle of water because it's is really important to stay hydrated especially at stressful times like exams ( which I am dreading!) I then have a hairbrush so I can try and look half decent! I also have a hair bobble and perfume.  

I hope you enjoyed this post let me know if you've got exams coming up and how you cope with them because I am rubbish at revision and stuff and could really do with some tips!

Updated skincare routine-2016!

Hi! I hope your new year is going great so far, mine has been okay but I have exams pretty soon so that's not so great!:/

Today I thought I would do an updated skin care routine as if you read my "What I got for Christmas 2015" post you would have seen I recieved quite a few new skincare bits. I love when I develop a proper skincare routine as i really see the improvements in my skin. I have been using these products for a few weeks now and I have really noticed a big difference in my skin. 

I use two products in the shower, one in the morning and one in the evening. 

In the morning to wash my face I use the "Simple Spotless skin triple action face wash" I have used this for months now and went through multiple tubes( not really sure if it's a tube?!) and I love it!

In the evening I use the "Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish" to remove my make up . Since using this I have noticed a big difference in my skin, It is less dry and I have less breakouts. I definitely recommend it.

I have three other products that I use to remove my make up if I'm being lazy and not using my Cleanse and polish. They include my "Garnier Micellar cleansing water" which removes make up so easily even waterproof mascara , the "Simple eye make-up remover pads" and the "Simple cleansing facial wipes" which are also both great.

Now into the main face products I use daily, I will list them in the order I use them -

•"Simple purifying cleansing lotion"

•"Simple soothing facial toner"

• "Simple hydrating light moisturiser"

If my skin is feeling especially dry and is just generally having a bad day I will use the "Simple radiance brightening moisturiser" this is currently my all time favourite product from simple, it is such a thick moisturiser but it sinks in so quickly and has really made a difference to my usually dry skin. 

I hope you enjoyed reading what products I use and maybe I even  gave you inspiration for products to try out! If you use any products that you think I would like tweet us @TeaT42!<3

Byeeee!

2015 Overall

 Last year was a great year for me it obviously had its ups and downs but nothing too bad. 

The first good thing that happened in 2015 was this blog! I have always wanted to start a blog and last year we did. If you've read the blog from the start you'll know we came up with idea in our graph com class. I have such fun writing these posts and find it quite a relaxing thing to do. If you are thinking about starting a blog I would say go for it cause I'm glad I did! Ok it's starting to get a bit cheesy now so I'll move on!

In January my grandma got me my first proper camera for my birthday and since then I've captured many moments of 2015. 

There wasn't much else happened in my year so I thought I would talk about some youtubers instead as their 2015 was probably a lot more exciting than mine!

Gabriella Lindley 

She has achieved so much this year including releasing her own primark 

Range, uploading her first cover to YouTube which was amazing! 

Zoella

Where to start she has written 2 novels ( girl online and girl online on tour) released her own line of beauty products along with many other amazing things!!

Joe Sugg

Wrote a novel titled Username Evie, he also starred in his own movie called Hit the road along with his roommate, best friend and youtuber Caspar Lee.

Tanya Burr

 Released a book titled Love Tanya. She also released her own line of beauty products including nail polish, lip glosses, eye shadow pallet, cheek pallet and a brow pallet. Tanya also got married to her husband Jim Chapman! 

I could go on and talk about loads more youtubers but I figured that could go on a while so, I hope you enjoyed this post let us know in the comments what your favourite moment of 2015 was!

Bye 2015, Hello 2016!

So we are now into 2016! Who can believe that- definitely not me! Last year went crazy fast. It was early last year in the month of March that we started this blog and I'm very surprised in how many people read out posts. We may not have hundreds of followers but that really doesn't matter to us, we really just enjoy writing and uploading our posts each week. I do however hope to try even harder and progress further with the blog this year. Sometimes I don't try my hardest with  posts because of leaving writing it to the night before but this year I  am going to make sure I have posts written in advance.

I hope to continue with this blog and keep progressing for the years to come and I hope you will carry on reading our posts. It would also mean a whole lot if you would follow us  on bloglovin and Google + so you can be notified when we upload.

I am now going to tell you a few things  I hope to achieve throughout the New year.

1. Be healthier 

 Of course I have to say this one- who doesn't start the new year of by  saying they are going to exercise more and eat healthy!

2. Revise

This year is quite an important year in terms of school so I'm going to make sure im always prepared to face any exams/ tests- definitely easier said than done when you could just watch YouTube instead!

3. Improve blog posts

I do try my best to think of great ideas but this year I am going to try and think of a lot more original posts.

4. Read more

I used to really enjoy reading but I've found myself not reading as much. I'm going to try and get back into it. I actually recieved Zoe's second novel for Christmas a long with Marcus's books so that's a good start!

5. Try a new hobby

I hope by the end of this year i have a new hobby that I enjoy just as much as I enjoy going horse riding and writing my blog posts!

Why not tweet us @TeaT42 or comment down below your goals for 2016, we would love to hear what you wish to achieve this year!

We both wish you the best for this year and make it a good one!

T42,

Chloe💖
