my 2 most simple (but helpful) tips to a clean, tidy and organized room!

your room should be a comfortable, tidy and cozy place. so why not make it that. whenever i walk into a messy room, i always think to myself "it's fine, I'll do it later" but the truth is i never will, so why not just get it over and done with.
my first tip is to de-clutter. to do this you will need to sort through your chosen group of items (for example clothing) and if you find things which you hardly ever wear, use or are just very old, you can either sell them, donate them to a charity shop (or if they really are that bad🤣) throw them away. doing this will create so much more space and might even earn you a little bit of money which you can put towards whatever you wish,

my second tip is a little bit of a simple one, and that is to put everything in its rightful place. now, i know what your thinking, well isn't that just so obvious or isn't that all what tidying is about. and yes, that is one of the main things which tidying is about, and this why you should definitely do it. most of the time, you will wear or use something and not put it back in place (and i must admit, i have done this on multiple occasions) and this is what creates a mess. this makes it a very important tip so i highly recommend that you do it.

headspace

hi again,
so, recently i have been using this app on my phone called headspace. it is simply a meditation app which leads you to pure calmness in 10 minutes. it is a great way to help you have a healthier and deeper sleep and it also helps you get to sleep. a great thing is that its free and easily accessible on your phone. i am using the free version which works perfectly with me, but you could easily upgrade to a premium account which allows you to access more settings and options to suit your needs.
sorry for lack of post..
bye!

3 christmas gift ideas!

HI,
Some people love to get their Christmas shopping done early, others however, might leave it quite late on in December. if you are one of those people or you just want to get some inspiration on what to put on your Christmas wish list, then i have got some solutions.
     
CHRISTMAS GIFT IDEAS (for girls):

1.  DIY edible sugar scrub

 i have done a whole separate blog post on how to make this scrumptious scrub, so head on over there if you want to make this perfect gift.
a huge positive to this gift in particular is that you can personalize it to you, or the recieviers favorite scents and flavors, along with the amount of sugar and coconut oil inside of it.






       2.makeup gift sets:

for gift idea number 2 i am not specifying nail polish or this particular gift set but i am talking about makeup mini gift sets. i was kindly given this mini nail polish set last year for Christmas and i am sure that any other girls in your family would also love to receive it to. Also take note that there are 100s of gift sets out there which already look wonderfully wrapped and presentable. this gift is a great idea if you are in a hurry and have no time to wrap. there are also MANY gift sets from lush which are already wrapped and amazingly chosen to fit your recievers personality.



3. the last gift idea is SWEETS, FOOD &CHOCOLATE.
this gift idea will surely be easily accepted, lover and probably eaten.

mega matte lips by w7 review x

jumping straight into the review my first impression on this product (by which i mean the packaging) i liked it because it was simple with a matte black lid! the main focus was the transparent bottle which of course revealed the shade of liquid lipstick. once opened the bottle i could smell a wonderful sweet scent and i thought was quite appealing. for some reason i could somehow smell creaminess which also amazingly showed in the formula! whilst applying to the lips i could feel that it wasn't the type of liquid lipstick that would dry your lips out to the point in which they are almost crumbly, but it was extremely pigmented, amazingly smooth and jawdroppingly moisturizing! it was incredibly keeping in mind that the price was only £2.50 which for such a big bottle, amazing formula and look i would say is outstanding!

i give this underrated product a 10/10 as i would for 100% purchase this magical gem again, but maybe in another shade.

now for every product there must be some sort of downside in any way, shape or form weather it is simply just the smell or the packaging but for this product it would probably just be the way that it doesn't exactly dry, it does go matte but whilst drinking a cup of water it definitely does ware away so that would be my one only negative. 

thank you for reading

hi,
have you ever wanted to really read a book but you are not a very quick reader, then I have some advise for you on how you could manage reading quite a long book in just a week. to be honest you don't have to be a genius to come up with these tips!

1. DIVIDE YOUR BOOK INTO SMALLER SECTIONS! it is quite weird how your mind works but this tip sort of tricks our minds into thinking that you are reading a few (maybe 5) smaller books when actually you are reading a 500 page book. a realistic daily page goal would probably be 100 pages, but if you can read extremely fast, you might want to read about 200+ pages per day, there for you might even be able to read 2 books per week.
2. TAKE YOUR TIME! don't force yourself to read when you don't want to, you will end up with skimming through the majority of the book and not being able understand the main idea of the plot. so take your time!
3. DONT OVERLOAD YOURSELF. I (for example) like to only read about 100 pages per day because this is how much I would normally feel comfortable with. if you are a very fast reader then try 200 pages per day, but don't get bored. this will just take away the fun of reading.

thank you for reading todays post!

if you have any other tips for fast reading then post them in the comments below to help other readers and myself!
