Back to School Tips

Many of you may have gone back to school this week, or are going next week. So I thought I would to a back to school tips blog post.

I have done an Exam Tips Blog post so check that out as well if you like this one.

Hope you enjoy!

1. Today I woke up and realised I hadn't even laid out my clothes the night before. Forgetting I no longer wore uniform, I took everything out of my closet, picked something and stuck it on. Big Tip: Lay out you clothes the night before.

2. Make sure everything is ready in the summer holiday. Check you've got all you pens, pencils etc...

3. Get to sleep early : now I know in the holidays you've been staying up extra late, as have I, but if you get a good sleep before school you will look and feel good.

4. Be confident. My dad told be a special piece of a advice today. Don't follow others, let them follow you. I think he is right if you are confident and people think they can lean on you then you will make tons of friend.

5. Try your hardest! No one can expect more. Not even you!

Wisdom Corner:

Don't worry about friends, they won't help you in the exams. Don't worry about grades, just try your best. And most importantly do what you want, not your friend. Don't be pressurised into doing something.

Tutorial Tuesday | Spiced Apple Slices

I was searching the t.v for anything decent channels that were on, when I came across a Sainsbury's advert (Sainsbury's is a supermarket in the U.K) advertising a tutorial on Spiced Apple Slices. They looked great so I wanted to try them. I thought I would share it with you guys so you could have a try as well. Enjoy!

Step 1:

You will need: 

Sugar

Cinnamon

 3 Apples (I only used one)

Preheat oven to gas mark 4, 180°C, fan 160°C.

Step 2:

You will need to cut your apple into very thin slices.

Step 3:

Now lay your slices on a baking tray that has been lined with baking paper. 

Step 4:

 Sprinkle with cinnamon...

... and sugar.

Step 5:

Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, after 20 minutes has passed turn up the heat to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C for a further 10 minutes. When they are done they should look something like this:

or maybe completely different if you made it with 3 apples (by that I mean better)! My family enjoyed them though.

Would you like to see more from Tutorial Tuesday?

This is the first 'Lifestyle' section of my blog. You see these slices are healthy, minus the sugar. Therefore they are great for healthy eating, and a light snack when you have the urge to munch. I was a bit apprehensive to do it but I did and I really do hope you liked it. Thanks to all my readers, don't be shy to comment and leave a link to your blogs and I will be more than happy to read them 

Send me some pics of your creates and makes, comment, follow and like.

How to achieve and maintain good skin | Amberose:

Great skin is one thing we all try to achieve. I am not going to say it's easy, but I am going to say it's not hard either. If you eat the right things, do some exercise and drink plenty of water you well onto the road of success. Here are some tips on how to achieve and maintain good skin.

 Eat Right:

To get healthy skin an important factor is to eat right. Don't cut your sugar intake completly but cut back a little. Eat nuts and fish as these both create oils. This may be the last thing you want but these are good oils that will wash out the bad. The omega 3 keeps your hair shiny, nails strong and most importantly skin clear.

Facial Cleansers:

Cleansing your face is a very important component in your daily face routine. I use the St. Ives Apricot Scrub. I feel like it really rubs any impurities away and leaves my skin feeling super soft. I also use Simple face cleansing wipes. These are great wipes, they get rid of any make up! They leave my skin feeling super nourished and soft.

Drink Water:
I cannot stress this point enough. Even when you're not thirsty drink water. It purifies your body, cleanses all your insides and clears your skin.

Exercise:
Now this is the most important point. Exercise is key when you are trying to achieve great skin. Sweating helps your skin, remember to always wash your face after you complete your work out.

Results Day Tips!

Ahh, the dreaded results day. They day that is marked on the calendar with a big fat red cross (and a sad face if your extra dreading it). The day where every living teenager is scared out of their wits for their future. Don't get me wrong this year I will be handed the envelope of misery, but I will be ready for anything. You see for last week I have been scouring the internet for tips on how to deal with my results, and with a bit of experience chucked into the mix I have created the ' Ultimate Guide to Results Day.' Here are ten (short but useful) top tips on surviving results day!

1. Charge your phone (trust me your parents will go mad if they don't know as soon as you've opened the envelope).

2. Get some rest! No irregular caffeine doses before/on the big day. You don't wanna be a coffee intoxicated bag of nerves.

3. If they are A-Level results draw up a list of alternative courses/universities you may want to apply to.

4. I always try to relax myself before results day so I am in the right frame of mind before I receive my grades. I take a relaxing bath but you could listen to music, bake, have a massage. Anything really (except coffee)!

5. Organisation is key ( A-Level) - Before ringing universities ALWAYS have your UCAS personal ID, Clearing number and details of your qualifications ready to give to the receiver.

6. Always do your research on courses, subjects and universities before applying.

7. Do whats you think is right for you - if you don't want to go into further education talk to your teachers, parents or a responsible adult about it before making the decision to get reassurance Remember you're not alone.

8. Eat a balanced breakfast- don't skip it, even if eating is the last thing on your mind.

9. Do not compare results- not with you friends, older siblings, no one. They are personal, focus on your ambitions and your own expectations

10. Stay Positive: the key is to always keep an open mind and if your unhappy with your results there is always clearing. 

Good Luck!
