My Back to School tips

Hey Guys,

So today I am going to start my Back to school series by doing my top tips about going back to school, so here goes.

Tip 1 - Uniform 

So this was a major issue at my secondary school and after buying so many different pairs of trousers and the teachers saying we can't wear them, so before you start back in september check your school's uniform policy or if you don't know ring the school up because you will probably find that someone in your school's reception will be in and will be able to tell you the uniform policy.

Tip 2 - Lunch 

So to keep your brain going during school you are going to make sure you are eating healthy and drinking. If you don't eat or drink you make yourself ill. Especially near exams you need to make sure you have left time to eat and drink. I didn't give myself time to eat and I ended up feeling dizzy and not being able to concentrate fully. So a major tip I would give to anyone, any age is to eat healthy and to keep hydrated.

Tip 3 - Equipment

You need to make sure you have the right equipment that you need for your lessons that day, don't take stuff that you don't need because it will just make your bag to heavy and you always see those year 7's that look like turtle's because there bags are massive because they have everything for the whole week in this one bag.

Tip 4 - Hair

You need to find hairstyles you find easy to do when your half asleep for me I just did a ponytail everyday because its what i found easy in the mornings but I know you guys can be much more creative. So here is an idea comment below your favourite hairstyles for school.

Tip 5 - Make up

I am not going to say don't wear makeup but if you are going to wear it don't wear loads, and make it look as if its natural so you will get away with it. Also if you are told that you are wearing to much don't wear as much as you wore that day.

Tip 6 - Watch

Wear a watch because you will always need to know the time, and you don't want to be late for your lessons. Being lessons we mean you will have less time for learning and could lead to you being punished and losing your breaks or lunches.

Tip 7 - Technology 

Laptops, tablets and phones can be really useful for research, but how ever during time for revision and homework they could be distractions. So when you need to revise turn off your laptop, phone and tablet, however technology can be useful because there are lots of apps and sites to help you revise but make sure you use them probably and don't cheat.

Tip 8 - Teachers

We all feel like teachers are there to make us ruin our lives, however they are there to improve our lives this is going to improve the jobs we are going to have when we are older. So don't be one of those students that doesn't behave, don't do their homework and just causes the teacher to be stressed and annoyed. This is ruins the teachers day and will affect the other classes they have to teach later that day.

Tip 9 - Homework

This might be really boring, however this could really improve your grade and its to prove that you have been understanding the work and that you will be okay to do tests and exams on the topic. So don't ignore it actually do it, its only your education you are risking.

Tip 10 - Help

Don't let yourself struggle with the work that you are doing actually ask for help, or use BBB. 

B is for Book. Look through your book and see if any past work could help you with this piece of work.

B is for Buddy. If the person next to you understands it ask them if they would explain it to you.

B is for Boss. If the last two options have not helped as your teacher for help.

Tip 11 - Revision

Don't expect to pass with last minute revision or no revision. Give yourself time to revise at least a couple of months this will help you digest more information. Also if you don't understand something it gives you time to ask your teacher about it. Also try different techniques to see what suits you best.

The 11 questions that Maddie asked me!

If you could buy one thing in the whole world what would it be?

If I could buy one thing in the whole world it would be something for charity, so something like a wheel chair for someone who needs one and can't one, or something that will help someone.

Would you rather read a book or watch a film? 

This is a really hard one because some books are better than the films and some films are better than the books. So I am going to have to say read a book just because it allows me to imagine I am somewhere else. 

How long does your daily makeup routine take?

I have recently changed my make up routine again so its now different to the youtube video I filmed about two weeks ago, but I am going to guess somewhere between 20 minutes to half an hour depending how I do it and what products I wear.

Why did you start blogging?

This summer I had 12 weeks off and I wanted to able to do something productive so I started a blog and a youtube channel and also it gives me somewhere to but my actual thoughts down and actually communicate to people seen as I am not so good at that in person.

Favourite film?

Right now it has to be 'The Fault In Our Stars' I loved this film and the book and I watched it about a week ago and as soon as I came out the cinema I wanted to watch it again, so I will definitely be buying the DVD when it is out.

 

Who is your favourite Youtuber or Blogger?

This an easy one to answer because mine is my idol and she is my favourite youtuber and blogger and that is Zoe Sugg, aka zoella. She is so good at beauty and hair all her tutorials are amazing, and also she is amazing advice in which I find useful, if you watch her videos you will definitely guess because its her well known one at the moment.  

Favourite makeup brand?

My favorite drug store makeup brand at the moment is MUA, all there products are really cheap and they are all amazing products, However my favourite more expensive makeup brand is Benefit there products are just amazing and all do what they are meant to so thats an added benefit to the products and they look amazing when you're wearing them. 

Bargain Hunter or Big Spender?

Big spender, I spend so much on clothes and makeup. Everyone will say this I have more money than sense especially when ever I go to Nottingham I will be in the Jack Wills shop making a purchase.

Favourite sweets/candy?

I rarely eat sweets because of the amount of sugar and I am on a permanent diet, but when I do eat sweets it would be chocolate or jelly beans but they take me ages to eat.

Favourite season of the year?

This another difficult one because I love the weather in summer, But I love the Holidays in Winter because of christmas and my birthday. However I don't like the weather in winter because the cold gives me chilblains. I can't decide which is my favorite so I am going to say both winter and summer.

Biggest pet peeve?

It would have to be when people think its all about themselves and don't care about anyone else and expect to have the attention on  them all the time. Also when people use people, good example of this is when you are really close to someone everyday and then as soon as you are part they won't talk to you ever again, so basically fake friends.

They're real benefit mascara review

Hey guys,

Today I am going to be doing my first mascara review and also its my first review on my blog.

I have really loved this product and I use it everyday and I have swapped this mascara for others loads and always found myself returning back to this mascara because its a mascara I love. Also when using this mascara I can really tell the difference between wearing it and not wearing it.

WITH                                                                   WITHOUT                

On this picture I have two coats on one eye and none on the other eye. I have had the miniature bottle of this mascara for about 3 months now and it still feels like a brand new mascara every time I put it on. Also from this picture we can tell the difference it has made to my lashes, because you can tell they are almost touching my eyebrows and how my natural ones are really short.

The product is definitely be worth the price for the full size bottle seen as it is £19.50 for 8.5g. I would recommend this product to anyone and I will definitely be buying this full size product before my miniature one runs out and this will be the mascara I will worship.

My summer must haves

Hey Guys,

So I know alot of you have just broken up from school for the summer, so I wanted to share with you what items I have enjoyed the last 5 weeks.

So the First item is the sleek cc cream and what I really like about this is that its really light so you don't feel like you are caked in make up, also another thing I really like about is that has an spf of 29 so it means that I don't need to put suncream on my face.

The next thing is a comfy chair outside this way I can relax in the sun, sadly I don't know what make or anything about the chair I sat in in sept it was a reclining cushioned chair but as long as you are comfortable its all good.

The next thing I have loved is a good book to read, and the book i have really enjoyed was 'The Fault In Our Stars' and I have got to admit this is the best book possible and I was crying so much by the end of this book. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone so go read this but seen as I have finished this one I am going to start reading paper towns. Also books amazing to read in bed, before or after you have slept but also they are amazing to read when relaxing in the sun.

The next item I have loved is the malibu sun screen just because it smells so nice because lets be honest who doesn't want to smell of coconut, and always make me feel like I am in the caribbean or somewhere really relaxed and sunny when I wear it in the sun.

My next favourite thing is a whiteboard from the range and I am using this to make to do lists so I actually do the things I am meant to be doing, an guys if you are bad at doing things do what I do and put things you have already done on it and straight away cross them them or tick them off. I feel this always makes me gain the motivation to actually complete things by the way guys I can't take credit for this idea because one of my teachers told me about this.

The next thing we all need and this is really pretty and cute summer outfits. So this summer I have really been enjoying floral dungarees or t shirt and shorts or even a plain tshirt with printed leggings. You guys can check what I have been wearing on my instagram where is do Ootd its mandybelleblog so go check that out.

The last things I have been really enjoying is Youtube videos, these are also been really good to watch whilst being outside and there some amazing youtubers but also you guys could check out my video its https://www.youtube.com/watch.
