Relieving stress....

Helloooo 

So when I was thinking about to post I thought about some of the issues I face now I'm a moany, huffy teen and the first that came to mind was you guessed it... stress. I stress so much that if it burned calories I'd be a supermodel. So today I thought I'd share the things I do when I'm stressed and hopefully help of you lovelies who are freaking out. 

Watch YouTube videos

YouTube is my savior right now if I am ever stressed or freaking out over something I just log in and watch some of my favourite YouTubers and it just calms me down and lets me forget about what happening. Advice- get a YouTube account and get subscribing!

Get stuff done early

This is actually advice for not becoming stressed and that is if you have work to do.... GET IT DONE. It's so much better than getting trouble and possibly getting bad grades because you didn't revise or get the work done. I, for one am terrible at getting things done because well to be honest I'm lazy.

Listen to music

For me music is the biggest release from stress I can think of, take yourself off to somewhere quiet and stick some headphones in and put your favourite tunes on. Personally I like to stick on some relaxing songs like...
Sigur Ros- hoppipola 
Tom Odell- Can't Pretend 
Swinging on a swing

Slightly weird but it really relaxes me and I'm not really sure why. If have a swing go and swing on that thing and listen to some tunes and if you don't have a swing get out and buy one they are so relaxing. Weird I know.

Have a good cry

sometimes all I need is good cry and I feel less stressed maybe because it's just a good way to relieve all those wound up emotions and for me crying is the best way whether you just need to take yourself away an have a good cry or whether it means a sad film to let it all go a cry can make you feel a lot better.

So there you have it the ways in which I personally calm myself down if I'm feeling like I'm about to explode. Hope this helped one or two people and showed them that everyone gets stressed some more than others.

How to.... slutty brownies

oooo cheeky! Yep my friend made these once and oh my lord they were were like a chocolatey paradise, I can't even describe how lovely they were.If you are a chocoholic like me then these things are your créme de la créme. 

Serves: 16
what you will need to make the chocolatey heavens...

  • a box of cookie mix (I recommend a choc chip mix)
  • a box of brownie mix
  • 2 packs of double chocolate Oreos (normal Oreos are still as good just not as chocolatey)
  • oil
  • 2 eggs
1. preheat your oven to 350F, 180C, gas mark 4, also line a baking tray with grease proof paper.
2. follow the instructions given on your cookie mix and beat until it makes a gooey cookie mixture. TIP: add a little bit more oil and water just to make it more gloopy because you'll be cooking for longer than normal.
3. cover the bottom of the baking tray in the gloopy cookie mix try not to eat it all no matter how tasty it is.
4.Now make a layer of Oreos on top of the cookie mix. Bonus don't use broken ones, eat them as you go nom nom. 
5. Same with the cookie dough mixture follow the box but don't add anything extra.
6. Once you've made it pour it all over your Oreos. My mouth is watering at this point and I'mam desperatly trying to hold back the urge to do this...
don't pretend that you don't want to do that. 
7. Bake in your oven for 30 minutes. This is the time where you wish they were 1. out of the oven or 2. you aren't that bothered because your weird.
8. remove from oven with great excitement and leave to cool for a little while.While they are still warm cut them with a sharp knife into manageable chunks ,in my case they would probably be about 4 pieces of brownie.
The final step is to tuck in but I'm sure you all know howto eat. Hope I have satisfied some cravings and taught you a valuable life style. The art of slutty brownies.

September favourites....

Helloooooo

So we're into October and can I be the first to say how quickly this year has gone I mean it doesn't seem long since I was coming into year 10 and now I'm year 11. WAT. Anyway babbling aside let's press on with my September favourites...

BEAUTY

First up is my Revlon lip butter in the colour sorbet, I just wanted to see what the hype was and now I understand these things are so good. Really moisturising and good colour pay off. Revlon lip butter in Sorbet £7.99

Next up is this bad boy. Hands down the best conditioner I have ever used. Leaves my hair so soft and smooth, best treatment for dry hair I've used and smells fantastic! L'oreal ever riche (price unknown)
This is a product I never thought I'd like. I got a load of these products as a gift one year and I just got shoved away but as I have become more into makeup I've discovered I really like this, the colours are so pretty and it looks so nice on. L&B blush and bronzer duo (price unknown) 
This I've had for many years and have got back into it AGAIN. I have a feeling this has been discontinued by the body shop ut there are really nice ones I know that are out there. Really moisturising and smells heavenly. Body shop body butter- raspberry about £7.99

technically isn't beauty but whatever I love it anyway. I bought this a while ago and I love it it looks so Michael Kors like and a lot of people have commented on the similarities.  Next £22
NON BEAUTY


MUSIC

I've been listening to this song a lot lately I LOVE LOVE the guitar and bass in the song and it's just so good!!!! 

My favourite band this month has got to be Fall Out Boy. I've always loved Fall Out Boy but this month I have really been obsessed with them. They're just so amazingly talented and I'm desperate to see them live!!!

OTHER

My TV obsession this month is Toddlers and Tiaras, I know I shouldn't like stuff like this because they are really controversial but I can't help it's a beautiful combination between hilarity and shock.Highly recommend a watch.

Well there we go all my favourites of September!
Hope anyone reading has a lovely October
