Marvelous In My Monday Before My First Exam

Thanks to Katie for hosting as always :D

I spent the weekend being ill and studying, which by the way is a terrible combination. I am really over this year of School right now. I just can't wait to enjoy Summer and hopefully not get ill again! I'm trying really hard to not feel sorry for myself, and I know I have only 8 days left and then I'm finished for the year. So, I really need to look on the bright side. 8 Days, 3 Exams, 5 and a half hours of sitting in a hall, but then I have 18 Weeks to do what I want.

And so I need to quit bi***ing about the fact that it's absolutely gorgeous outside and I can't enjoy it.

Definitely feel like I need this Vest Top! 'Suck It Up Buttercup'. 

Well I consider myself officially told!

But anyone who knows me knows I love the warm, sunny weather.  Suck It Up Buttercup! 8 Days!

Actually, I feel like no matter how much I revise I will never be prepared for these exams. But I'm determined to just give them my best, at least then I'll have no regrets.

Now heres a few funny things I saw on Pinterest when I was looking up Exams! Yep, I've done quite a lot of procrastinating lately, but I like to refer to them as "Brain Breaks". Anybody else have these?

These are my favourites :D For the others look here, I've made an entire Board on Pinterest!

This has been me for the past Week!

Hopefully this won't be me through any of my exams. But it has been known to happen to me, especially back in High School!

Ha ha! This is me every time, no matter how much I write or how great I manage my time. What I don't get is those people who leave early, before the exam has finished? That will never be me!

Ha ha. I definitely have no chance of this as my exams are for English Literature, so there will be plenty of writing. But a girl can wish, can't she?!

I say I am going to be the top one every year, but I always manage to slip into the bottom one.

I did this recently. Like what the hell am I going on about?!

Right, now to get off and stay off Pinterest and to carry on revising!

For anybody else having exams in the next few weeks, Good Luck :D

Taking A Break From Studying

As much as Studying is important, so is taking breaks. That's why I've been going into town shopping for Paris, going for walks and just reading Blogs to combat the woes of Studying! But when the sun is shining its rays outside no-one wants to stay indoors, feeling that they are missing something. That's why yesterday me and a friend took our work into our garden and made a make shift picnic blanket using old sheets etc. It was great and makes me excited for Summer. All I want is Good Weather is that so hard to ask ; D. I'm praying!

One of the best things about Summer is the way we get to dress. And lately I've been using my new purchases and trying out more springy/summery styles. The maxi skirt and denim jacket look is back :D But I don't believe it's time for Sandals here in the UK yet.

Here was yesterdays look.

Floral Maxi Skirt (Primark), Scallop Tall Vest (Topshop), Denim Jacket (FCUK), Sunglasses (Primark).

I am really into florals at the moment and maxi skirts, so this was a good find. It was also a bargain! I think it was £10-£13. 

I have also recently got back into make-up again, as I've been inspired by some Beauty Blogs I follow :D Which is both great and EXPENSIVE! But I'm trying out different shades of lipsticks I normally wouldn't and painting my nails bright, happy colours.

Here's what my nails look like at the moment :D

Coral and Purple are two of my favourite Spring/Summer colours. And they complimented my skirt really well!

And here's my favourite Lipstick at the moment. It's the Gosh, 145, Velvet Touch Lipstick, called Shocking Coral!

It's important to have days as well where I get out of my pyjamas and make an effort. It just makes me feel good and that's an important part of my life and who I am.

Ok guys, well I best get back to some studying! 

Have a great Weekend :D

WIAW - The Studying Edition

Thanks to Jenn for hosting :D

Well for those studying and revising for exams it's that time of the year again, when for me at least, my food becomes very snacky. I try to make sure it's healthy treats, but in my breaks I need both sugar and caffeine to keep me going. Now at the moment that caffeine is Tea. I can't get enough of the stuff!

And this is My favourite cup to drink it out of at the moment ;)

My snacks are a mixture of things, depending on whether I am craving sugar with something sweet, or whether I want something savoury. It all depends. Now the other day I went shopping and I found mini snack size packets of gingerbread men. I love ginger bread men and biscuits and any other form of ginger, but I can never get through a packet of biscuits and so these are great.

If I have been wanting savoury snacks, I have been naughtily reaching for the crisps,and I'm not talking low in fat etc. The Crisp Crisps! But they are all gone now and I won't be buying them again any time soon. So now I am trying to be a bit healthier with my savoury snacks! But when I am studying I don't want a big meal and so my snacks have to keep me going.

Poppyseed Crackers with 30 grams of Cheddar.

Other than being snacky lately I am trying to not buy freezer meals, and instead make my own meals using fresh ingredients. I think I am just going to throw all the pictures in now and let you guys see the kind of things I have been eating!

Laughing Cow Cheese, Wholemeal Toast, Scrambled Egg with Ketchup.

My own Wholewheat Pasta and Veggies Concoction, topped with Cheddar.

Honey Nut Bitesize Shreddies, Greek Yoghurt, topped with Banana.

Honey Nut Bitesize Shredded Wheat with topped Chopped Nuts and Milk.

Golden Delicious Apple with Nutella.

Takeaway Chinese - Doesn't look very appetising but it was a Treat for day I passed my Driving Test.

Loving this lately, Wholewheat Toast topped with Crunchy PB and Banana.

Chicken and Veggies topped with Nandos own blend of Peri Peri chicken, with Brown Rice and Mayo and Mint Sauce.

And that's the studying edition.

Have a great Wednesday and Happy May 1st :D

How the hell are we in May already?
