College Life and 5 ways to living life in general...

College. wow it has been a big step up from Secondary School for me personally and also as in the the change in work load. GCSE to A levels is a big jump! For a bit of an addicted workaholic like me that is okay usually but some days it isn't and I really feel there is never enough time!

However, everybody can feel like this so in order to combat these ugly stress levels and work loads together I felt it was time I sat down and wrote a new post...A SECRET WHISPERS' 5 TOP TIPS TO LIVING LIFE PROPERLY BUT WORKING HARD AS WELL...

1. MUSIC ~ I know it's sometimes the wrong thing to do but if you are sitting reading this I am sure

 you have a few extra minutes to go and listen to some of your favourite music tracks! here are a few that have helped me to feel upbeat and happier in minutes (plus they do say music calms the mind!)

Ed Sheeran - Castle of You

Adele - Water Under the Bridge

1975 - Someone Else (Cover) ~ this isn't a super happy song but it's one I haven't become sick of yet (which is rare and it's such a lovely song)

Ed Sheeran - Shape of You

2. DO SOMETHING FOR YOU ~ This is an important one because you always come before anyone else! (yes that is a tad selfish and I don't believe in being selfish to the extreme level but hear me out!) No matter who you are you are going to be no use if you aren't in a positive place yourself because you will just impact on people around you in negative ways if you feel under the grey clouds. So go on a walk with yourself or with loved ones, just take a break, go paint your fingers and toes, sew yourself a new outfit, do some painting. The options are endless but do what for feel you would like to do 'if you had the time' because you actually do if you get down to it :)

3. SMILE to strangers and talk to people you don't usually talk to, you will learn something new I guarantee it!

4. STAY ORGANISED ~ get a sheet of paper and write it all down! Everything you want to get done TODAY! because that way you won't be stressing about the whole week just one day and remember there is 24 hours in a day, 8-9 for sleep and 10 strong hours for work and bettering yourself!! (5 hours can be spent the way you wish - I know I haven't factored eating and travel buttt I just want you to see the outside perspective on your day!)

5. LEARN SOMETHING NEW EACH DAY ~ no matter how BIG or small make sure you go to bed knowing you have bettered yourself in one way or another because it will give you such a boost knowing you have improved even in the slightest of ways!

   Lots of love

P.s remember your life is yours and nobody else's!

Summery Sundays...

Hey lovelies, how are you all? Finally the summer holidays are here and we can now focus on getting great tans rather than horrible homework :) so yesterday I went out to a really cute café in my town with my family and wanted to take you all with me but could only do that through these photos! Let me know if you enjoy these kind of posts...

DIY Heart Valentine Gift

Hey guys! Sorry I didn't post last Friday (slaps wrist) I literally had so much to do. Anyway I wanted to make a little series of quick and easy 'DIY Valentine Gifts'! They are basically ideas that anyone can make and you will get another two projects this week (does that make up for my lack of posts?)

 

So here it is...

You will need:

fabric

scissors

thread

needle

Stuffing Fluff

and a button

Step 1: Cut out two identical hearts or you can cut out a template from online to guide you

Step 2: Then turn the front faces down so the back of the face is looking up to you

Step 3: Next sew around the edge but leave an inch not sewn at the end

Step 4: Turn the heart inside out through the hole you left

Step 5: Stuff the heart and make sure it is nice and firm!

Step 6: Then sew up the hole and adjust the heart to your liking

Step 7: Thread the needle again and attach a button to the middle of the heart

Step 8: Wrap it up and give it either to a friend or your Valentine...

all my love
