This Vero Moda jacket in Khaki is a cotton parka jacket with popper fastenings as well as a zip. It has a draw-cord around the waist to adjust with toggles. The jacket has four pockets, all with popper fastenings and is lightweight and perfect for autumn.

I absolutely love the fit of this jacket and it has been the perfect thing to wear over the past few weeks as the weather has to started to get cold once again. I personally wouldn't wear this during winter unless I had another coat on top or a warm jumper underneath and the jacket is quite thin and won't keep you warm during the freezing cold winter months. But I think it's perfect for autumn and it's really comfortable to wear. It looks really fitted once the waist has been pulled in and it looks really good with jeans/leggings and boots.

I started my some of my GCSE courses in Year 9, the rest I started in Year 10. This year, I'm taking all my exams. So I have pretty much grasped what it's like to endure studying 11 courses at once, only to know that you will have to sit 20+ exams at the end of them. These tips are aimed at those who are just beginning their courses, however the tips I give here will also apply to whatever course or subject you may be studying at the moment.

Below I will also leave links of YouTubers who make really good school/exam related videos, as well as a few particular videos I have found really useful. I will also leave links to various posts from Pinterest and Tumblr which are also helpful, and if you have any tips or constructive thoughts, please leave them in the comments.

Tips for Surviving your GCSE's

1) Make revision notes as you go along so you don't come up to end of years having to write notes/mind maps/flash cards for all your subjects. - It's best to write your notes for each topic/module less than a week after you've finished covering it in class. That way it's still fresh in your mind.

2) You just have to sit through the pain. In 2 years you will be done, it genuinely is a thing of just waiting it out and working hard. I know you will then either leave school or go to college or A Levels or go down a different path, but A levels in particular are different, GCSE's are more of a memory game. After you GCSE's you will actually be applying your knowledge. - trust me, it's different. For your GCSE exams, it genuinely is a case of memorizing everything...

3) Yes, most of the subject matter is pointless, no you won't ever need it in life, and it is unlikely you will remember it anyways after your exam. However for the time being you do need to learn it and you do need to revise it because you will most likely need it during the exam. There's a lot of information to absorb, so make sure you plan ahead and give yourself enough time to revise.

4) Don't waste your time complaining, it's a waste of energy. 

5) De-stress!!! Yoga works. So does meditation. It helps; you should try it.

6) If you're stuck, just google your essay questions! Your teachers will most likely give you essays to write that have come from revision guides or than are commonly used across the board. Hundreds of people have most likely written the essay you are trying to write, so just google your essay title if you get stuck of points to make. But DON'T copy the essay; it's plagiarism; teachers will be able to tell it's not your work; don't even try to get away with it... Because you won't.

7) Stay hydrated. Water - It hydrates you, keeps you focused and makes you feel better. So keep drinking lots of water during lessons!

8) Sleep. A lot. Everything seems worse when you're tired, so make sure you get enough sleep.

9) Buying your textbooks so you have your own copy which you can annotate is a good idea, but they can be quite expensive, so try buying them off older students or second-hand.

10) It honestly doesn't matter if you do your homework the night before, as long as you do it to a good standard. You will get caught up with homework from time-to-time but it's fine to do it the night before as long as you don't rush it too much.

"Lips red as blood

Hair black as night

Bring me your heart

Dear Snow White"

A short while ago, myself and Bethany went about doing our makeup in the style of the Disney Princesses. It was so much fun to take inspiration from them, and today I want to show you my attempt at Snow White's makeup.
It was actually a lot simpler than I thought it would be. It's pretty much just the classic Hollywood red lip, black eyeliner look, just with a hint of Disney!

I started off by doing the base layer of my makeup. I used a concealer followed by a setting powder and then used a little bit of blush on the apples of my cheeks.

MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Light

Natural Collection Blush in Sweet Cheeks

MUA Undress Me Too Palette

For the eye shadow I kept it really simple. I used Naked all over my eye lid as a base and then I used Reveal which is a champagne colour on the outer 1/3 of my lid. Lastly I used Exposed, which is a silvery shimmer, in my crease. Then a blended everything together!

MAC Technakohl Liner in Graphblack

Benefit They're Real Mascara

Miss Sporty Fabulous Lash Mascara in 001 Black

Revlon Colourburst Lacquer Balm in 150 Enticing

It's a really simple makeup look but it looks really pretty and classic with the red lip. All I need now is a black bob and a fairy tale dress and I'll be sorted!

I hope to do more of these Disney inspired tutorials, and I was also thinking of doing some Disney inspired nail tutorials as well, so please let me know what you think of the idea. I really want to be able to express my love for Disney on my blog, and hopefully I have succeeded in doing just that in this post!
