Exam Season FOTD.

Helloooooo. 


So it's well and truely into exam/deadline season, Easter celebrations are over and people are starting to drown in assignments, revision and coursework! 

I generally am extremely lazy when revising, I enjoy pyjamas, endless cups of tea and endless chocolate biscuits to accompany my tea. I can't be bothered with getting up and putting on a face to sit in my living room and stare endlessly about the benefits of Physical Activity on Health, or the range of common Autoimmune Diseases in the UK. (My degree sounds so fun when you put it like that doesn't it?) 

I am usually rocking a 1cm ponytail (short hair problems), a plaited fringe and no/or very little makeup! 

Whenever I can be bothered with makeup for a little extra bit of revision motivation I stick to the basics: 
- concealer (to hide my dark circles!)
- foundation 
- blusher
- bronzer 
- mascara 
- and dark brows!!

A few years back this would have been A LOT of makeup to me, but now this is the music of the basic! Check my makeup FOTD below! 

And finally, the thing that tops off all of my FOTD's and OOTD's around exam time are my glasses! They're French Connection and cost me £125! (Ouch!!) but I really need them, I literally cannot concentrate without having them on..! I'm hopefully getting new ones soon because I stupidly sat on them and I've bent a leg of them so they're super wonky on my face! :-(

Check them out below!

It's that time of year again...

It's almost May and its that time of the year again.. Exams are here!
Everyone is stressing about how little they know and how worried they are for every exam!
And this year I'm in the exact same boat, I haven't done an exam since I was 18!

I dropped out of my A levels after my AS's due to personal reasons, and completed a BTEC instead... The BTEC had no exams so this year exam season has came and smacked me right in the face.. I forgot how much preparation was actually needed!

I've made my revision notes and I'm reading every page over and over again, and nothing seems to go in! I'm so glad I've my boyfriend is staying with me in Manchester for the next week to try and keep me sane! I can't wait until next Friday and everything's finished!

Ultimately the only thing you can do in an exam is your best, so the stress really isn't worth it!
Getting a good nights sleep and a good breakfast is essential, and you just have to go in with a positive mental attitude & hope the questions come up in your favour!

So everyone, keep calm and do your best :)
Exams aren't the end of the world, and there are always options if things go wrong!!

I won't be blogging this week due to my busy 4 exams in 5 days!
So I'll see you's all at the other side!

Chat next week lovelies,
Rachel :-) x
