Revision | The Tips & Tricks

So it's that time of year for the Year 11's in the UK, the word that we dread; mocks. Now if you're prepared you've been revising for weeks maybe even months, I'm not afraid to say it I'm one of those people. However, if you're now finding it difficult to revise or you're one of those people who likes to do that thing called last minute revision this blog post is for you. Today I've decided to write a blog post all about the tips and tricks I've got for when it comes to revising. I'm not going to explain these tips because they're quite easy to understand so let's get on with it so I don't eat up any of your precious revision time.



REVISION TIMETABLE
HIGHLIGHT IMPORTANT INFORMATION
ASK TEACHERS FOR HELP
PAST EXAM PAPERS
STICK REVISION NOTES AROUND THE HOUSE
REVISE IN A COMFY PLACE NOT SOMEWHERE WHERE YOU'RE UNCOMFORTABLE
STUDY BREAKS
DON'T OVER DO IT
HAVE REVISION SESSIONS WITH YOUR FRIENDS/CLASSMATES
MIND MAPS
FLASHCARDS
APPS
ON EXAM DAY DON'T HANG AROUND WITH ANXIETY RIDDEN PEOPLE

Remember; don't panic, don't worry and just breathe. If you're mocks don't go the way you want you've got a few months until your actual GCSE's to sort it out. They're other people in the same boat as you so you're not the only one doing your mocks. Also, let's all help each other out, if you have any revision tips leave them in the comments below!

Good luck my lovelies!

Autumn Tag.

Autumn is now definitely upon us so I thought that it was only right that today I did the Autumn Tag for you all. Let's not waste anytime and get straight into it!



1. What’s your favourite seasonal drink from Starbucks/Costa?
I have a secret to tell you. Come here. I don’t really drink Starbucks or Costa. Why you might ask? Well where I live there isn’t a Starbucks close enough to me and then when I’m in town I kind of like to get in, get all the things I need and then leave so Costa isn’t really a place on my list to visit. However, I would like to try some of the Costa seasonal drinks. Do any of you have any recommendations? Leave your recommendations in a comment below.

2. When it comes to accessories what do you opt for?
A chunky scarf or a beanie, definitely. Not only are they super cute they also keep my cosy and warm on chilly Autumn days.

3. What’s your favourite music to listen to during Autumn?
I really like this question because music is something very important in my life. To be completely honest they’re two types of music that I love to listen to throughout Autumn. The first type of music I love listen to quite slow and gloomy music. It represents the weather, that’s my excuse for listening to it. Second type of music is obviously Christmas music. I’m basically listening to Christmas music all year round though but I go to town with listening to it in Autumn/Winter.

4. What’s your favourite scent to wear this time of year?
Now I had to really think quite hard about this question but I think I’ve definitely figured it out now. I use the same perfume throughout the year so I don’t really switch it up however, when Autumn starts showing signs of its coming sweeter scented body washes and hand soaps etc start making their way into my bathroom. So I love sweet smelling scents throughout this time of year.

5. What candles will you be burning during this season?
I stay downstairs a lot of the time in the living room with my mum when I’m not at school so I never really get a choice in what candles we burn. However, I don’t really mind. As long as they’re candles burning making everything so much more cosier I’m fine.

6. What do you love most about Autumn?
I’m not giving anything away but I’m going to be doing a whole blog post on this so keep your eyes peeled for that.

7. Favourite makeup look?
Gold eyes and a dark red lip. I like using my Makeup Revolution Flawless Palette for my eyes and then my Rimmel Kate Moss 107 lipstick. Sometimes I like wearing eyeliner instead of eyeshadow with the 107.

8. What are you looking forward to this Autumn?
My Auntie’s wedding at the end of October. I’m so excited to see family and wear the most beautiful dress that I bought a few months ago.
