#SeptemberStudies- Tips on staying organised

By -


It's September 1st! That means that today is the start of my September blog series. #SeptemberStudies. I'm kickstarting the month with something fairly basic but that everyone needs; some useful organisation tips!

1) Use a diary
Oh my Lord I can not express this enough! There is absolutely no way you're going to be able to remember anything that you need to do without the use of a good planner, agenda or diary. Make sure there's enough space on the pages to write everything you need and that it also has some notes pages you can make use of too! 



2) Use a calendar
Similarly to a diary, a calendar is the only way you're going to get through your week without forgetting assignments, when essay's are due in, which friend you were going to meet up and revise with...calendar's can be more immediate to write on and look through too, compared to a diary, so have it on the wall somewhere you can access it easily! 

3) Make 'to do' lists
If you have a huge mountain of work, make a to do list to help you get through it! Order everything by importance (e.g. due date) and then work your way through. Not only will this make sure you get everything done that you need to, it also makes you feel more productive when you're actively crossing things off of a list. 



4) Don't save all work until the night before
Honestly, leave yourself enough time to do all of your work up to a decent standard. If you're set an essay that you're told is going to take three hours, allow yourself three hours to write that essay. Don't try and cram it into half an hour before the lesson it's due in for. 

5) Get enough sleep
You might not think this affects your organisation skills but it does! If you're too tired to do anything, your brain will become frazzled and you'll have no clue what you're supposed to be doing and when you're supposed to be doing it! Try to get 6-8 hours sleep every night! 

6) Use post it notes! 
Stick post it notes with reminders on in places you'll find them; for example, you could stick a post it note on the fridge door that says "Finish your history essay" which you're bound to see as you grab another snack for your Netflix binge session! 



So there's some quick tips on staying organised for you! Share your own tips in the comments below or on Twitter using the hashtag #SeptemberStudies!

Love from,

Children With Cancer UK Fashion Show!

Friday 27th February 2015 saw the grand event that was a fashion show in London for the fabulous charity, Children with Cancer UK. I was invited to the event about 2 weeks ago as a blogger, to cover the event and raise awareness of the charity. I was honored to have been asked to do so, as the charity is really just so important, as well as super excited to cover a fashion show, as this was something I had never done before! The night was a huge success, and the display of talent was extremely impressive- from the designers work, to the various acts performing in between! The venue was fairly glamorous, based at The Building Centre in London, and upon entry we received glasses of wine, nibbles and goody bags, as well as having the opportunity to mingle with some of the other guests before the show began. When it was time for the show to start, I went to try and seat myself- only to find that because I was "press", I needed to get myself a press pass (which I was thri

#MentalHealthAwarenessWeek - Body Image and Mental Health

By -

This week (13th - 20th May 2019) is Mental Health Awareness Week. This year, the theme is Body Image - how we think and feel about our bodies.  Those of you who have followed me for some time will know that for about two years now, if not more, I have been an advocate for body positivity and self love. More recently, you may have seen me featured in a story in The Metro , talking about a body shaming incident I experienced on holiday and how I dealt with it.  There's absolutely no denying that there is a direct correlation between body image and our mental health. I know that personally, when I'm experiencing a "bad body day" and don't feel very positively about my body, for whatever reason, my mental health goes down the drain too. Yet when we feel good about our bodies, this can be reflected in our mental health too.  When I experienced body shaming in my bikini on holiday, I felt the lowest I had in a while. I believed the words I'd heard -

Eating Disorders- the Blunt Truth.

WARNING:  The following content is sensitive and me be triggering to those suffering from, recovering from or who have recovered from eating disorders such as anorexia or bulimia and other health problems such as depression. As I sit down in my local pub ready to tuck into my generous portion of gammon and chips, I feel a prickle on the back of my neck- that all to familiar feeling of knowing that someone is staring at you. As I whip my head around the dining area, my eyes fall on the slender figure of a girl, probably around my age, maybe a few years younger, looking at me with disgust in her eyes- disgust clearly at the way I look and what I'm eating. I feel fat, bulky, uncomfortable and I let my glance fall to her own plate, noticing she has a salad, mostly untouched. She sips constantly at her water like it's the only thing keeping her alive. It probably is. It is a sad but true statistic that over half of teenage girls and one third of teenage boys use unhealthy wei
