What gets me through Revision and Exams

Hello again my sweets, 

So Christmas and New Year is officially over and exams and revision have set in!

I don't deal well with exams, I over think, stress and end up forgetting everything the minute I walk into the exam hall! I thought I would share some of things that help me through it

A balanced diet is very important, this is why I make sure I have some kind of fruit, normally an orange and then make sure a big bar of chocolate is close by in times of need when you need a break and a good piece of chocolate :) recently I have started drinking tea, I have to say its the perfect drink when the weather is rubbish and you need something to warm you up :)

My mum brought me this last week because I went into stressing mode and needed something to keep me going to my last exam! She found this at Neal Yard which is meant to help you study, you roll it over pulse points and breath in the scent. It is a blend of invigorating essential oils that can be applied easily as a quick pick-me-up in times of study or intense concentration where a state of mental clarity is needed. I'm not 100% if it works, but I have been using it over the last couple of days and it does smell lovely and picks me up when I need it :)

Something I have been using since my A-levels is Kalms, I also used it when I went to university last year just to relief some of my worries :) they are a natural remedy that relief worries and stresses and promote natural sleep! 

Both products are 100% natural and just there to help me calm my nerves and keep me going!

What gets you through exams and revision? Ever used any of these products?

Happy Birthday Mummy

Hello again my sweets,

I have been very busy with revision and exams recently (who puts exams straight after Christmas). Yesterday was my first exam and I'm so pleased its over! 

Yesterday was also my Mummy's birthday :) she came up to Newcastle with me for my exam and she just went sale shopping! However, after my exam we met up and I treated her to lunch! I had heard great things about this cafe need my house in Newcastle, its called The Butterfly Cabinet in Heaton. I hadn't been before and I was just going off recommendations, when we were walked towards the cafe I have to admit I was worried. Everywhere looked really quiet and not my mums type of place!

When we walked in we were very pleasantly surprised. 

The inside was so lovely with old pieces of furniture which didn't match, art work from local people and vintage boards. It had such a lovely vibe and the staff were so welcoming :) 

The food and drinks were just another thing though!! I had a toffee banana milkshake which was to die for and mum had a proper green tea :)

We both got burgers, mine was just their classic with bacon and mum added brie to hers! The portions were very generous! I think this might be the first thing that has ever defeated me!! It was the nicest burgers I have had which good old proper chips :) the prices of everything were so responsible for when you got and the quality of everything!   

Mum loved her little treat and after we rolled back to the car because we were so full we drove back home for birthday celebrations with my Dad and Brother! I was the prefect way to spend the day after my exam and spend time with my mum :) 

I would say if your in the area, The Butterfly Cabinet is worth a view, I know I will be visiting it a lot next term :P

Only one more exam to go and then I will be FREEEEE 

You have no idea how much this makes me happy :D

What did you do for birthday treats?

Revision and Exams

Hello again :) today's post is a bit of a boring one but it's a large part of my life at the moment (unfortunately)

As with many other people my age and younger its coming to that time of the year where exams and revision take over your life because we are lead to believe they are the most important things in our life. For the past couple of months I've been getting ready for the final exams of my first year of university. Even though these do not count towards my final exam, me being me needs to prove to myself that I can do well and I also believe that this will help me with the transition of workload between years one and two of university. 

As you can see from the pictures revision makes my room a mess as I have all my books and notes around me at all times. I do stress quite a lot round exam time and as my first one is tomorrow lets just say i'm not exactly relaxed right now :P however it will all be worth while as I have such a long summer :)

So how do you cope with exams and revision? Got any tips?

Speck to you soon and hope you enjoyed reading 

Bye :)
