Morning

those little things on ur nose aren’t blackheads, don’t try and get rid of them they’re sebaceous filaments and they’re permanent and literally everyone has them

every girl has that little pouch of fat on her lower tummy, despite what magazines try n show u, you have important organs there that need to be protected don’t try and get rid of ur pouch

ur body is smarter than u think and it knows what to do when u eat more than normal. one bad day, or even week, of eating poorly isn’t gonna ruin anything at all I pinky promise

if u think u look good up until u try taking a selfie, it’s not ur fault - our faces are asymmetrical and when u see ur face flipped it will look unnatural to u, since u don’t see it that way when u look in the mirror. to everyone else it looks perfectly fine

no one’s stomach looks the same at 8pm as it does at 8am. no one has a chiseled six pack after a day of eating, not even the super fit people u see on tumblr, because ur stomach naturally expands after eating and expecting to have a flat tummy before bed is very unrealistic

no one notices if the bags under ur eyes are bad today. no one pays attention to the bump in ur nose or the zit on ur chin or the piece of hair that u missed when u were straightening. literally no one notices these things except you so stop worrying about it ur gonna be fine

Hey friends! Kayla here. I have been planning this giveaway for a couple months now and I’m so excited to finally be announcing it! Whoever you are, wherever you live, and whatever your circumstances may be, I think we all can agree that life can be stressful. We often forget to take care of ourselves, and it can be hard to remain positive at times. Despite this, all of you are spectacular beings who deserve to be happy and healthy, so I’ve put together a little self care package that two of you will receive! 

PRIZES:

“Be Happy” tote bag: Inspiration to take with you wherever you go.

Blue tapestry: Use it as a picnic blanket or hang it on your wall just because.

Medicine bag gemstone bracelet: Wear it wherever you go to gain energy from the different stones and their functions.

Lush bath bomb: Because we all need to pamper ourselves once in a while.

Marine mineral face mask: To give your skin the love it deserves.

Aloe Vera face mask: To rejuvenate after a long day in the sun.

Floral pencil pouch: Because I’ve realized that having cute school supplies and staying organized is great motivation for getting things done.

A mug that reads “today is a good day”: To start every day right.

Honey Lavender stress relief tea: For those long nights filled with studying, revising, and essay writing (and for the mug of course!)

Female empowerment pins: Smash the patriarchy wherever you go.

iTunes gift card: Treat yourself to some new music

Jamba Juice gift card: Because who doesn’t love smoothies?! 

Sashka Co. beaded bracelets: Beautiful and handmade by women in Nepal.

And who could forget the biggest prize of all: The Classic St Mawes watch by Daniel Wellington in brown/rose gold. Just because everyone deserves a timeless and beautifully crafted accessory in their wardrobe!

There will be two winners, one on Instagram and one on Tumblr. The first person will receive all the items mentioned, while the second will receive a tote, pencil pouch, gift card and bath bomb. Who receives what will be determined randomly after the winners have been chosen.

Manage your time wisely.

Ask for help if you need it. 

Make sure you understand everything. And don’t start on something new until you do understand it. 

Review and look over your tests and exams. 

A hobby makes you a well rounded person and gives you a break from school work.

Revise throughout the year in small chunks. 

Make notes and keep them all safe for your exams. 

Try and make yourself a comfy study place which makes you want to work. 

Beautiful notes don’t always help you learn, but if they do- go for it! Remember to go out and have fun. 

When revising, don’t start with the topics you know or the easy ones, start with the hardest ones which you don’t understand. 

Make a revision timetable.

Read around your favourite topics to gain a better understanding.
