Organisation DIY

 
Hellooooooo !!! I'm bit late for back to school (I put off getting organised until the day before school started) but here is a little organisation/back to school DIY ! It is very similar to the one I did at Christmas but more temporary and easier to do.
 
 
You will need:
A jar, ruler, pretty paper (mines a wrapping paper from paperchase), scissors, pencil and tape.
 

Step No.1 - Measure the jar to find out what length of paper you need.
Step No.2 - Mark out and cut the paper to your required size.
Step No.3 - Tape one end to the jar.
Step No.4 - Roll the paper round the jar and tape the end down. And you are done.
I told you it was easy ! All you need to do is add some cute pens and put them on your desk. My favourite pens are the Papermate InkJoy 100 Roller Ball. They are really comfy to use and make my writing look nice. I have them in black, blue and of course all the colours of the rainbow !!!
 
I love this DIY as it is easy to remove the paper and replace it with another pattern when you get bored !!!
 
 
A little organisational tip for you is to get a academic diary (from September - July). It is great for jotting down any appointments, social events, holidays, when you are working and of course the dreaded homework with colour coded pens. Even though my school gives me a homework planner (which I hate and is set out really weirdly) I find it useful to collect everything in one diary.
 
I hope you enjoyed this post.

P.S. The best tip for school (especially GCSE and A-level years) is to get as much sleep as you possibly can at night (even if a YouTube video has just been uploaded or you are chatting to someone - beauty sleep is very important! I am much more productive when I've had a good nights sleep. I find yoga helps ?! xxx
Congrats if you read this far down ;)

My Summer Makeup

Helloooo ! I know its been a while. I've just been a bit uninspired and I've been recovering from GCSEs (I'm really pleased with my results). 
 
I know its the end of summer but I've only just gone on my holiday (check my insta for pictures !) So this may be a bit irrelevant but I'm going to share with you the products I've been using on my face whilst in hot hot hot Greece!
 
I have only been using 3 makeup products daily !
 
The Maybelline Waterproof Rocket Volume Express Mascara which stays on really well and I only apply a bit of this so I don't look too made up.
 
Maybelline Brow Drama brow gel which I think is essential to ensure your brows are on fleek 😉.
 
Bodyshop Argan Oil lip balm which I have refallen in love with recently and it does a fab job at moisturizing my lips!
I hope you enjoyed this blog post !!
