Sunday night essentials

Hey guys! (:

So today I wanted to make a little blog post about my sunday night essentials! Stuff I do and use to make my sunday night cosy and lovely!

First of all I light a bunch of scented candles, right now I have cherry scented candles all around my room! And they smell goooood! What’s your favourite scented candle smell?

Next thing that I do (almost) every sunday is my manicure and pedicure! 😀 So here is my nail polish box, which I painted myself so don’t mind the crappy paint job (: I think this weekend I’ll actually match the colour on my toes and fingers! What do you think, maybe red? (:

Obviously who can go through a sunday evening without ice cream! My this week’s choice is Ben&Jerry’s Strawberry Cheesecake! Can’t wait to try it out! [review?]

So guys, these three things are just pretty much standard things that I do every sunday. If you would like a manny/peddy tutorial, review of the ice cream or anything else just leave a comment below! (:

Flip Flop Fantasy – review! (:

Hey guys!

Since summer is coming, I wanted to do a review on a summer-y nail polish. It is called Flip flop fantasy by China Glaze.

Here is flip flop fantasy and my Isadora, Wonder nail top/base nail polish.

Image

The first coat went on very well, and the brush is the perfect size for putting on nail polish – not too small, not too big. One thing that shocked me was how fast the first coat dried, but I would still recommend waiting 5 minutes just to be sure.

Image

With the second coat I would recommend you to wait a good 15 minutes before putting on a top coat.

The second coat looked beautiful, the color really pops and I love it.
When I started applying top coat, I stopped right away. As you can see the nail on my index finger is shinier than all the other nails. I didn’t apply top coat to the rest of my nails, simply because I like matte colors.

Ignore the messiness, I forgot to fix the edges before I took the pictures.

All in all I am very pleased with the color and the way this nail polish applies. It’s a very summer-y color and can appear pink in some lights. This is definitely going to be one of my main nail polishes this summer! (:

Hope you guys liked the review! Let me know what you thought in a comment! (:

Tips to help you get through finals!

Hey everyone!

May and June are probably the most stressful months as a student. I am a high-school senior and have upcoming exams and finals and all kinds of tests. So I wanted to share my tips and tricks with you!

1. Rest! Try to do your prep work during the day so you don’t have to sit late. Take breaks every hour – watch your favorite show, eat, go for a walk. And sleep for at least 7 hours a night!

2. Read, read, read. Make sure you know the topic the test is going to be about, usually schools give students competence goal lists where all the goals for this semester/school year are written on. Make sure to go through that list and see that you know what stands on it, this way you won’t do “too much” reading and can stay focused.
Also, have your books, notebooks, notes on the computer, extra sheets right there when you’re studying – this way you have all the information you need.

3. Flash cards! These things are genius! You write down important expressions, names, year numbers, what ever you need to remember and write the answer on the other side. This way you can check to make sure you know the correct answer/meaning of what ever has been asked. I don’t use the real flash cards, I just use post-its and they work just as fine. (:

Here is an example:

4. Brain foooooood! 😀 Fruits, nuts, chocolate, homemade dinner – it all helps! It gives you energy and keeps you going!

I really hope these simple tips help you through your finals and let me know how you study for finals! (:
