Pencil Case Essentials

Hello everyone!

Yes, it's a second 'back to school essentials' post :)

I bought some new things for school that I would like to share with you as I think it may help some of you.

So, these are the things I bought.... 

The first item I picked up was this white floral print pencil case for £2.50 in Tescos

The second item I bought was a packet of 12 Crayola pencils/crayons

I always find at school, the pencil/crayons they give out are really bad and rubbish, so I wanted my own so I could colour in properly

The third item I got was a packet of 10 Bic pens which I love because they are really easy to write with!

The forth item I purchased were some Stadler highlighters, I don't tend to buy highlighters, I just borrow someone else's, but they were £l.50, so I decided to buy them

The next item I bought was a Pritt stick, I think it was about £2.00?

I also bought a rubber which was about a pound

The last item I bought where these Rainbow ball point pens. I would use these to underline things and write notes

The next few items I didn't buy, I already had them at home

The first item I didn't buy are these pens. They are Spectrum Broad pens and you can search for them online and buy them from there. I am only going to take the essential colours which are Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Purple and Pink.

Next I had two pencils, one from Universal Studios and one from a Monsters University stationary set (also bought in Tescos)

Next I have two rulers, a 30cm and 15cm

Finally, a sharpener which also came in a Monsters University stationary set

So, these are the items that will go into my new pencil case. I hope you have enjoyed reading my blog post :)

Back To School Essentials

Hello everyone!

Today I am going to talk about how you can prepare for school after what seems like such a short holiday!


Firstly, a couple of days or a week before you go back, prepare a small purse/bag of essentials you'll need during school.
The essentials I recommend:

• Hand gel/sanitiser
• Hand cream
• Hair bands
• Hair grips
• Moisturizer
• Nail file
• Two/three make up items you may need - e.g mascara, face powder and concealer
• Hairbrush
• Lip balm

These things should all fit into a little purse/bag which you can keep in your school bag. If you feel like that the list is too long or if you don't have everything on the list - don't worry. You don't need to carry round make up, neither do you have to carry round moisturizer, but I created this list because during the school day these things are what I use.

Regarding the make-up, I advise you not to take tons of make-up as it tends to make your bag heavy. Only take things that will make you look and feel a bit fresher.

I hoped this gave you some ideas of how to prepare for the new school year!

Extra Post

Well hey.

This is a little extra post, I'm still going to post on Monday, because I wanna get into a weekly routine of doing things. Anyway, I was thinking the other day about popularity and what it means to be 'popular'. When I was in year 6, I was heading to assembly with my class mates and I asked my best friend if I could sit next to her, then someone else asked her and she had to choose either me or my other friend, she replied "I just don't know! Both! I'm just so popular!" And we laughed it off, We knew she was being sarcastic but my teacher heard her and said "No one is popular, ever. Popularity is a silly thing, you have your own friends and no one should be looked upon or judged by others." 

What my teacher said has stuck with me and in the bath the other night, I thought about the subject again. This is what I said to myself: 

If you think that being rich, having designer clothes or kissing boys helps you to become popular, then think again. These things don't make you popular, they make you un-popular. Showing off all your expensive things is not 'cool', neither is smoking, so don't smoke :) So I thought, being popular consists of having trust in your friends, being loyal and being kind and friendly. 

This isn't a nag, but it's an insight to what goes on in my brain and sometimes I would like to share with you little things I think about, not everything because that would be weird, but some things I think you will be interested in.

So, be ready for these little things :)

My Passion

Hey guys!

Well, this week has been an okay week. I have had about 33 page views on my blog which is great for only one post! I am so glad, people have actually read it :)

This week I really just stayed indoors - This sounds a bit boring, but it wasn't. With my mum I decided to do two things off of my list: 

60. Attempt to make ice cream

91. Make the perfect pie

I decided to make my ice cream first, so it would be ready in a few days to eat with the pie. As I was making the ice cream, I found myself extreamly happy and hyper, maybe it was the fatty content or the amount of sugar that was in the ice cream, but I found myself at home? I really enjoyed making it and quickly realized, that baking and cooking made me happy, that was my 'thing.' Some people ooze over the new make up Benefit just came out with, or some people love designing new clothes, but mine, well it was baking and making things for other people to enjoy and ooze over. It was only yesterday I tried my ice cream and if I say so myself, it tasted delicious.   

I then made my pie, I made the pastry and even took the time to pick my own fruit, from the local fruit farm. This made the pie even more tastier! Even picking the fruit put a smile on my face, something I hadn't done naturally for a very long time. I got home and prepared my pie, then put it in the oven. The smell overwhelmed my, it smelt AMAZING! And it also tasted pretty good!

So, what I am trying to say is, if you haven't found a hobby yet, or something that has made you happy, try doing all the things you can think of and by doing this, you can find the thing you love doing the most. Maybe baking is your unknown passion?

Yes?

During the past summers I have found myself bored to death. I don't know why, I think it is that I don't say 'yes' to enough things. But recently, I have told myself to 'step out of my comfort zone' and 'say yes!'. I have tried doing this and I found myself enjoying life a little bit more.

The idea of saying 'yes' to more things came from Zoe Sugg (Zoella). I think I can relate to her a lot, go read her blog or check our her YouTube channel!

On Friday the 19th of July, my friends invited me to the cinema, being my shy self I was about to reply 'Oh, I think I'm busy. Sorry :(' But I actually found myself saying, 'Yeah sure!'. I was apprehensive to go, I'm not sure why, maybe it was the idea of getting the bus? Or being out without an adult? I didn't know what it was, but I was nervous. When it came to going home, in my head I thought, 'That actually wasn't too bad, I had a right laugh!'.

Saying 'yes' to more things has made me a happier person because I am experiencing new things and spending more time with those I love. I just wish I realized earlier that saying 'yes' wouldn't hurt.

So, saying 'yes' to things has made me less bored, but to also help me I created a list of 101 things to do, and in 5 days I have already completed 3 of them.

So, if you're like me and you are shy or you just say 'yes' enough, then make up a list of things to do during the summer, and make sure you do them all!
