Don't get too stressed! Relax. Here are some tips...

***


I have been having so many exams recently its unreal. It's so easy to get stressed and I constantly find my self just taking some deep breaths because it's just difficult but I found these amazing tips on how to stay relaxed and calmed whether your in the middle of exams, just another day at work or just need a breather from life. Here they are: (and p.s. I'm no expert whatsoever and I'm sure many people have better ways to stay relaxed and what not but I found these on the internet and I do these myself so I hope I help).



1. Take so deep breaths. I think thats probably the first step. Just sit or lie down and not do anything for a few minutes or even seconds. Feel your shoulders going up and down as you breath in and out.

2. Listen some music. If you have a favourite song then play it because it's what you like so why not. If you don't have a favourite song, just listen to some calming background music. Try this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CcsUYu0PVxY

3. Take a relaxing bath. Male or female this would probably be the best and most relaxing thing to do. Get some bubbles and a few candles.
A few of my favourite candles:
Jo Malone - Peony and Blush Suede
Jo Malone - Nectarine Blossom and Honey
Yankee Candle - Sparkling Cinnamon
The White Company - Wild Mint

4. Read a book or watch a film. Get your mind away from what's worrying you for a little bit. Take a break away from the stress. 



This is all I can come up with and it usually helps so I hope it helped you.
If you have any exams like I do, relax, you'll do fine. It's not the end or the world and health is always more important.
Thanks for reading this!!

I went to London!!!

***


I went to London for a school trip on Saturday. It was so good. It was my first time going on holiday without my parents and my sister but it was still in England and I live nearish London so it wasn't too scary. I went to Covent Garden and it was amazing but it was shopping, how could it not be fantastic! I spent way more money than I should've done though.
I also went to see the Matilda play in a REAL theatre and it wasn't boring! I was scared that it would be horrible and a lot of cheesy singing but it was actually really funny.
I saw a tour of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre as well. The coach ride was really long but the service stations were fun. I felt a bit travel sick and it's been getting worst recently but I put in my earphones and had Ed Sheeran repeat (his songs not him talking).
But any who! It was a great trip.

Big Hero 6 - Film Review

***


Big Hero 6 is an amazing film produced by Walt Disney's Animation Studios. It's based on a comic book and it's about the relationship between 14 year old Hiro Hamada and an adorable robot health care companion, Baymax. Hiro wants to get into his brother's university so he presents his invention, the microbots. However, when it is shown that someone has stolen them, he gathers his friends GoGo, Wasabi, Honey Lemon, Fred and Baymax to upgrade them and go against the thief to uncover his mask and his plans.
I really loved this film and I think it is so cute. I just want a Baymax of my own and I would really recommend this to anyone especially little kids. It's the perfect family film.

Rating:  ★★★★ (4 Stars)

Burberry!

Here's something I found just a few days ago and now I am absolutely in love with it.


Patent London Leather Round Coin Case

I think this is absolutely adorable. It is a coin case which is handy if you don't want to carry around a big wallet to the supermarket or something. I think all of the colours are so beautiful it's hard to choose my favourite. I was looking at this for my mother but I think it is also amazing for a treat just for yourself.
However, the dreadful thing is that it is quite expensive with the price at £150. But, that's what birthday money is for.
I guess I and the purse will have to depart for now... till the next sale.

The Maze Runner - by James Dashner

***


The first book of The Maze Runner series


So, I recently watched the film and that was almost amazing. The ended wasn't the best and they left it on a pretty huge cliff hanger but other than that I really really enjoyed it. Thus, I had to buy the book. I know most people hate to watch the film before the book but I like knowing what's going to happen in the film so I can get excited about the things that are going to happen if it starts to drag on.
Anyway, I thought the book was just a good if not better than the film. It is different than the movie so I wouldn't just watch the film thinking it's the same as the book - haven't you read Harry Potter!
It is about a person called Thomas who finds himself in a place called the Glade at the centre of a maze. He can't remember anything but his name and a few distorted memories. However, everything starts to change for the other Gladers when Thomas appears.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this book to people who like books such as The Hunger Games, Divergent, The Mortal Instruments etc. (because they're book that I like as well)

Rating:  ★★★★   (4 stars)

YouTubers!

***


Zoe Sugg - Zoella

Joey Graceffa

Stacy Hinojosa - Stacyplays


I am absolutely loving YouTubers right now. They are people who upload videos on a site called YouTube for those who don't know. Here are some that I would recommend you watch because they are just amazing!


Zoe Sugg
Zoe Sugg, aka Zoella, is a very popular British YouTuber who makes video about anything. Mainly beauty but also making a plethora of videos with various other YouTubers. Zoe was nominated and won many awards as she will continue to do in the future. She is a very good person to watch as she has a friendly manner to her videos which makes you feel like she understands you and that you are talking to a friend.
(And I also love her hair...)

Joey Graceffa
Joey Graceffa is an american YouTuber who makes collaboration videos with other YouTubers around the world. He is also a vlogger meaning he will film himself as he goes around in his everyday life. Joey will without a doubt make you laugh so much even when you don't want to. He recently just bought an adorable little husky called Wolf (another reason to watch his vlogs). He was on the Amazing Race (an american show), nominated for many awards along with producing, writing and acting in many short films and an amazing series called Storytellers.

Stacy Hinojosa
Stacy, whose YouTube name is Stacyplays, is a gamer who mostly plays minecraft but also with a lot of popular series not involving mine craft. Her love for words and dogs makes her a great personality to watch. She doesn't curse which is great so I would definitely recommend this channel to younger viewers. She has so much creativity you won't get bored.
