Memorising | School

So recently I've been having to memorise this French thing for an assessment. I have to memorise 3 pretty lengthy paragraphs all in a new language. As you can tell this is a difficult task!

Tips

1. Don't use words that you're not familiar with or that you've searched on google translate (they're harder to remember and speak)
2. Pick out the first sentence and write it down multiple times until you can write it without thinking or copying
3. Repeat with another sentence and then join them together so you know them
4. Continue doing this until you have finished your assessment

Another method:
1. Speak into a recorder and keep listening to in on repeat and say your paragraphs with the words on tape so it sticks into your brain

Last method:
1. Make posters, notes and songs so you can learn things in a better way! Stick them around your room and different places in your house & listen to the sofa whenever you can!

I really hope that this has helped anyone!

Spring | April Update

Long time no see. I'm back on this blog and I'd just like to say how sorry I am for the lack of posts. Recently I have been quite busy with school, swimming, dancing and I have to admit procrastination. I've wanted to post but I needed inspiration and now I have it. I want to post more photos than anything because 1 photo can speak more than 1000s of words and can be interpreted in many ways. 

This little post is a few spring photos that can give YOU inspo for this season.

Warm weather - or April showers in the UK
Flower crowns - hair staple for the spring! Everything floral and pastel NEEDED
Beach waves, natural - who doesn't like the natural, beachy waves look? 
Frilly socks - these were all the rave last year and I built up quite a collection! A must-have essential!

Also don't forget - water! Hydration is key and I'm making it my mission to drink more water and maybe infused water?

Rimmel Apocalips Review

These lip lacquers have been favourites of mine for some time now. Recently I picked up two products from Rimmel and as it was on 3 for 2, I decided to buy on of these! 

The shade is 'Celestial'. The shade is very pretty, rose pink which I don't own many products in this colour. The shade basically matches my lip colour but gives it a more Rosy tint! 

The formula is really nice considering it is drugstore and it drys and sets in place. The look isn't matte, is still stays really glossy and shiny!

Overall I love this product!
