Popcorn PJs and Christmas Candle light

I know that it probably would sound much more glamorous to say that I fall asleep between crisp white sheets wearing Victoria's Secret pajamas, but the truth be told my PJs go a little something like this...

They are from Topshop and I got them for Christmas! I think that they are so hilarious and fun, I can't get enough of them, I wore them to sleep over at my Aunties house and she cracked up at the sight of them, they have that effect on people as they just make people smile, what more could I want from PJs??
Plus... I think that they will look even more brilliant when combined with my very over sized unicorn slippers, although those are waiting for me back at my uni house.


I finished off tonight with studying for exams  in January *woohoo*

but also secretly burning my festive candles, I don't think it's too late to be burning candles that smell like Christmas trees but there is a strict -no candle- rule in my mums house, so I convinced her to let me keep these candles for 'decoration', they have been decorating my bed side table for around 10 months in anticipation of Christmas, I secretly smuggle the candle lighter thingy from the kitchen drawer when my mum is around, yes I am older than a teenager and having to sneak around the house and abide by my mums rules.

Christmas kisses as I see in the new year with festive candles and revision!

The look of worry - The look of freedom!

I woke up this morning and trying not to focus too much on the impending exam I decided to put on some make up, I hoped that it might make me feel a bit perkier!

I put on foundation, concealer, blusher, bronzer, eye paint pot, and lashings of mascara, I have a little smidgen of lipgloss on too. But I can see the panic and worry in my eyes! I couldn't even force a smile because I felt so anxious!

Now I have the look of relaxation and 'lets catch up on Youtube and blogging and reading for fun and eating at reasonable times'

Yayy for getting your life back after exams, they do come to an end even when it feels like they won't!

The Last Night

Feeling completely exhausted I'm about to fall asleep for the last time with exams looming over me!
I've not left my room for a couple of days, I slept fine last night but I still feel so work out from all the mental strain of concentrating for long periods and the toll that worry takes on my soul!

Here's the beautiful view right now where I contemplate dropping asleep or staying up to just read through my notes one more time. 

This is my look of exhaustion and despair!

Night night sweet dreams!

Words words words

I'm in the middle of a bit rut at the moment, I have exams that feel like they are landmines waiting around every single corner and studying can be so monotonous, but this time every year I feel so motivated to start earlier next exam season. Maybe one year I'll get it spot on!

Here is a super excited view of my page right now, and now you have a peek at my handwriting which you can't pretend isn't the most exciting part of your day...! I'm kidding of course.

I'm sad that my blogs slow down to being pretty empty around this time, but I've not even left my flat for two days!
It's this time that I really appreciate the joy of sleeping, I never really struggle with sleep except for sometimes nerves stop me sleeping but usually only the night before something nerve wracking, but sleep feels like a brain vacation from textbooks, exercise books and pens.

Where I've been and how I looked (for the most part)

I've had the most intense studying and exam period I think that I have ever, ever been through! The complete lack of creativity at times, drove me crazy and quite often sent me to sleep

While in hindsight it all may appear very rose tinted, in reality it was a very glum point that I never thought would come to an end, but of course it did- eventually

All I have yet to await for is the results!

Things that helped me through this time were:

The thought of being able to blog again

The thought of being able to read for enjoyment again

Peppermint ice cream

A good sleeping routine in bed by 10.45 and wide awake by 7am

Reading motivational quotes

Visualising results day going well...

Anyway, that part is all over now, and I have been itching to get back to posting every day yay!
