♡ Back To School: After PE Essentials ♡

Hi guys,

After coming out of phy ed you're probably going to be sweaty and your make up will run and I made this post to help you guys look amazing after phy ed! If you have a gym locker like I do at my school then these are some things you should keep inside and if you don't have one then just carry it in your school bag! Let's get started!

-Finishing Powder is great for when your skin looks a little greasy just apply a little bit using a brush and you're good to go!
-Mascara to touch up!
-Bobby pins, just in case... What if after P.E your hair just doesn't want to cooperate?
-Batiste Dry Shampoo, get this in a travel size! If your hair is looking a little down and needs some volume just use this!
-Make up removing wipes, get this in a travel size as well. This is to take off that runny mascara from under your eyes!
-Deodorant, for obvious reasons. Get this in a travel size as well!
-Hair brush or comb. Just to remove all those knots!

Hope you guys enjoyed this post! Bye!

♡ Back To School: First Day Of School Outfits ♡

Hi guys,

This is another post in my back to school series and it's some suggestions on what to wear on your first day back to school. I picked some very comfortable outfits that you can just throw together! Let's get started!

Shirt- Etsy

Cardigan- Alloy Aparrel 

Jeans- H&M

Sandals- Guess

This is the outfit I would probably wear on my first day of school! It's so comfortable and I would rather wear jeans than shorts to school so some cropped boyfriend jeans are perfect to me. It's quite windy when I leave for school so a nice cardigan to go along with it is kind of a must have. But to still give it a summer-y feel I paired the outfit up with some sandals.

Skirt-New Look
Shirt-H&M
Belt-Pac Sun
Sandals-Target
If you're looking for something girlier and preppier then this is the outfit for you. A white v neck paired with a printed skirt, a belt to synch your waist and sandals to tie the look! If it's windy you can just add a cardigan or a light jacket of some sort!

Denim jacket- Top Shop

Floral tank- Pull & Bear

Leggings- The Hut

Shoes- Converse

This fourth outfit is very casual and can easily be put together! It's very simple but the floral pattern tank adds a touch of fun to your outfit! This outfit is also very comfortable...

Hope you guys enjoyed this post!

♡ Back To School: My Guide To High School ♡

Hi guys,

I am by no means a master in high school but I've been it for a while now... I'm a junior which means I've been in high school for three years! I was so nervous when I was first starting so I'm going to give you guys my tips for high school!

Let me start off by saying that I am one of those people who do not like school and even the sound of the word school during vacation makes me scared. High school sucks but so does every other school :)

wehearit.com

1. High school is not like the movies. You see all those movies where there's the group of popular girls who make fun of everyone else and every guy loves them... Well, that's not really true, no one cares too much about popular people and no one really bothers making fun of each other. I think we're all too insecure about ourselves to do that. No one is going to throw you in the trash can or slam you into a locker.

2. Focus on school. I'm serious, you might want to focus on your social life but remember you're going to college soon and you need those grades. And, you don't want to cram all your studying during final studying. Study beforehand but also enjoy high school. 

3. Don't take it too seriously. Seriously.... Most of the people in my school dress up during the first week but then as the year passes, we all just wear sweatpants and messy buns pretty much every day. 

4. Don't do anything you're not ready to do. You're going to have so many new opportunities that you never had during junior high and some of them you'll feel like you have to do it to fit in but guess what? You don't. I'll say it once again so y'all can understand this loud and clear... No one cares.

5. Value your sleep. Story time! During my freshman year I had a boyfriend who I would literally talk to on the phone all night long. Literally from five in the afternoon to five in the morning. And when I didn't sleep at home I'd sleep in class. Which is not good, trust me. The relationship didn't even work out in the end. Which brings me to my next point.

6. Boys. Not all boys are the same, if you disagree then you only go for a particular type of guy. Yes, you're going to meet plenty of assholes but you're also going to meet nice guys. So hang on to those. You're probably going to fall in love once or twice but remember that grades are important too! If you want to have flings then by all means have flings. If you're in a relationship then be in a relationship!

7. Be yourself. High school is a HUGE place, you will certainly find a group of friends who you can truly be yourself around. Don't be afraid to talk to new people, you might meet your best friend in high school!

8. You're going to have a lot of freedom. But with that freedom comes so much responsibility. Manage your time wisely.

9. This one might sound a little movie-ish but it's true. If you're a freshman, upperclassmen will usually try to harass you. They don't do it to be mean, it's just sort of a tradition. I suffered my share of freshman hazing but I'm fine so don't even worry about it! 

10. Peer pressure. While you're in junior high you have health class and all the teachers are like 'people are going to force you to drink and use drugs and blah blah', this is not true at all. Once again, no one cares. In fact, most people look down on people who do engage in that sort of behavior frequently.

11. Make good impressions on teacher, it will really help you in parent teacher conferences.

12. Parties. High school parties are crazy compared to middle school but they're nothing compared to college parties. High school parties usually get broken up easily, due to either the music being too loud or underage drinking. But for the most part, parties are pretty fun and you will meet so many new people.

13. People do change and it's usually for the best. Oh yeah, you will change as well.

14. Enjoy. Honestly, high school flies by. There are going to be times where you hate everything and there are going to be times where you love it but either way just remember that high school is just a temporary straight. Working hard and being yourself is basically key to success.

♡ Back To School: Picture Day Hair & Make Up Tips ♡

Hi guys,

So unfortunately most of our summer vacation's are coming to an end... which means back to school and back to school means picture day! I decided to dedicate a post to picture day tips. I don't know if I'm the only one but I ALWAYS have bad hair days or actually bad face days during picture day so here's some tips for people who are like me!

Make Up
-A lot of people don't know this but for pictures, do not use foundations with SPF, it will make your face shiny and you will see the reflection of the flash. Which is not very cute.
-Don't do a dramatic eye look, your eyes will get lost in the picture.
-While we're on the dramatic make up topic, don't go for a dramatic lip color.
-Overall, just don't cake on make up... They use professional high definition camera and you will be able to see all that extra make up if you do decide to put on a lot of it.

Hair
-Are you having a flat hair day? Use some dry shampoo to add some volume!
-If you're going to dye your hair for picture day, make sure to do it a week ahead at least. You never know if it's going to look good.
-Don't use a low ponytail. It will hide behind your head and will make your face look bigger, try to use your hair to frame your face. It will slim you down.

Outfit
-Most outfit tips are obvious, don't use something that shows too much cleavage.
-Just use something simple yet cute. Don't go for anything that will completely distract from your face.
-Don't use any huge necklaces to distract from your face.
-Don't layer up... At my school pictures are always taken in the gym and it's always super hot! You don't want to sweat your make up away!

Hope this helped you guys!
