How to Be Invincible | #WAKEUPWEDNESDAYS

Hey guys,

How are you? I know it's been a while since I've done one of these posts and I'm sorry; but today's post is going to be something a little bit different.

You're probably wondering what can a 17 year old school girl tell you about being invincible, but don't let that stop you from reading this post. 

Enough with the small talk, I'm going to get straight into it.

As many of you know it's exam season here in the UK, and well, exam season can take toll on you as a person. It can cause you to feel helpless, ill-prepared and disorganised. I'm pretty sure that this  happens with a lot of other events we may experience in life.

I chose to use exam season as an example, simply because it is my most recent encounter with these feelings. I remember feeling guilty for eating, sleeping and even taking breaks; as I felt that every single waking moment had to be spent revising for these exams. However, after sitting my first 2 exams, I was able to realise just how prepared I was. These 2 exams taught me to believe in myself, so for the other 4 exams I had left; I chose to believe. I believed in myself, my capability and my preparation.

Now, you're probably wondering what does my experience with exams have to do with becoming invincible; well, I'll tell you this - if you believe in yourself, NOBODY can tell you any different.

Who's going to be able to stop you? Who's going to want to stop you? You see, if you believe that you can do something, you will be able to do it. NOTHING is impossible when you believe. You become invincible once you start to start to believe in yourself. 

Others around you will be surprised, some won't even understand but those are the ones that were just hoping you would stay in the same situation. They got some sort of buzz from your disbelief; now that you believe they don't know what to do. You are untouchable. You are unshakeable. You are invincible.

So in short, you become invincible when you start to believe. I'm sorry if you were expecting some tips and tricks but I thought that an anecdote would be much better.

I hope you've found this insightful. May you all take this in and use it to help you become invincible. If you would like any actual tips or advice you can email me at beautyandtee@icloud.com or message me on Twitter/Instagram - @beautyandtee.

May you all have an amazing week.

See you soon,

Tee xoxo

My Week in Pictures | 18.05.15-24.05.15

Hey guys,

Happy Bank Holiday Monday and for all my American readers, Happy Memorial Day. I hope you're all having an amazing day today. Well, today's obviously Monday so that's means that today's post is about my previous week.

So let's get started.

As disgusting as this may look, it tasted delicious. It was my cousins 6th birthday party on Saturday and it was loads of fun. There was candy floss and chocolate covered fruit and marshmallows, along with other food. The chocolate covered strawberries and marshmallows had to be the highlight of the whole day.

Ok, so yesterday after a long day at cheerleading with my sister and cousin, we decided to go out to eat. We ended up going to Pizza Hut. I must say that I am never going back again; not only did my sister find some hair in our pizza but we also paid twice the amount we would have paid if we had just ordered it for takeaway. However the pizza was nice and we had a great time bonding together.

That's basically all I've done this week. Once my exams finished, I literally just spent the days sleeping, eating or babysitting. Hopefully, you've all had a much more interesting week than I did. There will be a #WAKEUPWEDNESDAYS post this Wednesday, so keep your eyes open for that!

Thanks for reading, I hope you've enjoyed finding out what I've been up to lately.

See you soon,

Hey guys,

I'm back with another MWIP. I feel like it's been a while, especially since I've not been posting on Wednesdays. However, exam season finishes on Wednesday and  I will be getting back on track with all my posts. 

I have so much in store for you guys, it's really hard to keep it all in. Some of it super exclusive so I can't put in this post until I finalise everything but boy, do I have some exciting stuff in store for you.

Let's get started.

If there's one thing I hate, it has to be flowers. Yes, they are aesthetically pleasing however, I've got hatfever. For those of you that don't know, hayfever and plants = my biggest nightmare. It's the constant sniffing, sneezing and watery eyes that just grinds my gears. So buying me flowers would not be a good idea.

That's why makeup is the way to my heart. You can never have too much makeup. Getting makeup as a gift is probably every beauty bloggers dream. More products to test and tell your readers about. So here's a subtle hint to anybody that would like to get me something; get me makeup. I love makeup. Please & thank you.

Alright. So since we're talking about things I love, I think it's time to make a confession. I'm addicted to nuggets. Super addicted. I could eat nuggets all day. Nuggets for breakfast, lunch and dinner. 

To my amazement, I was eating my meal and then when my meal was almost finished; I came across this beauty. How amazing is this? It's the thing I love in the shape that symbolises love. A heart shaped nugget, how amazing?! I wish I didn't have to eat it, it looked so good. It tasted so damn good.

I'm not going to bore you with anymore stuff about revision because I'm quite sure that you get it by now. And for those of you that don't know, I've been revising like crazy for the past 2/3 weeks.

So that's it for this week. I hope you've enjoyed reading this post and finding out about what I've been up to in the past week. 

I hope you all have an amazing week. 

See you soon,

Tee xoxo

Hey guys,

It's Monday, YASSSS. This post is extremely late because... well, it's exam season and I've literally been doing so much revision that I sometimes forget to eat. It's really bad, I know but your girls gotta get them grades boo.

I'm writing this in my revision break, so let's get started.

This is not the greatest picture ever and I apologise for such poor quality however me being me, this is the only picture I took before I cut open the packaging. So this will have to do. 

I mentioned in a previous post that I will be collaborating with Slendertox Tea and on Monday I received my package. I was sent their 14 day daytox and the 7 day sleeptox. I started the teatox on Tuesday and I am still on it. I will be doing a follow up post with images and more detail so I won't tell you too much but let me tell you this one thing. Do not brew the tea for longer than 5 minutes. I repeat, DO NOT BREW THE TEA FOR LONGER THAN 5 MINUTES. That's only if you don't want to spend the majority of your day rushing to the toilet or being stranded with a runny stomach due to brewing the tea too long. 

The 14 days are not over yet and I've already seen some amazing results. Keep an eye out for a post with more detail in the following weeks.

This is another super bad quality image. I honestly don't know what has got into me this week. This is my to do list for my History exam that is on Wednesday. As you can see, I still have a lot to do. I have covered more than the image shows. I must say that this is the exam I am most worried about but I believe that if I revise hard and smart enough; I will be able to answer all the questions on the paper to the best of my ability. 

Anyways, with that being said, I am going to get back to my history revision. I hope that you have enjoyed reading this post and finding out what I have been getting up to. I also wish everyone that is doing exams this season the best of luck. Remember to keep a positive mind and do the best that you can.

See you soon,

Tee xoxo

Hey guys!

How are you? It feels like I've been gone forever. It's Monday. Bank Holiday Monday, to be exact. That means that instead of being at sixth form, I'm still laying in bed. Unfortunately, I'm revising instead of chilling, but in order to get good grades, I must put the work in.

Enough with the chit chat, let's get started.

My exams start in 7 days. Eek. Last week I decided to see what the grade boundaries were for all of exams. To my surprise, the boundaries were incredibly high. Especially the ones for my Spanish exam. I need 92/110 for my Reading, Listening and Writing paper and then 43/50 for my speaking exam. It's pretty terrifying but I'm not going to stress. Whatever happens, happens. I know that by the time my exams come around u would have revised my hardest and given it my best shot. Are you still stuck on how to revise? click here!

I've been saying for quite a long time that I need to get into the gym and yesterday (Sunday) I did exactly that. I went to the  Virgin Active gym in Romford and I must say its the best looking gym I have ever seen. This may sound weird but I'm motivated by good looking environments. They're just more inviting and exciting to look at. Who wants to work out in a room full of dull walls? I definitely don't. 

My plan is to go to the gym twice a week until the 20th May and three times a week after. Hopefully by the end of June, I will have achieved my fitness goals. More on those in another post.

I've been absolutely overwhelmed with the amount of support that I have received from my friends, family and readers; that I've decided to do a giveaway to show my appreciation. 

I never expected to get over 50 followers on Twitter but I've currently got 340 something. I never expected my blog to get as many views as it does and I'm extremely grateful. So this giveaway is for all of my lovely supporters. Comment on this post the products you would like to see in the giveaway and I'll consider including it.

Thank you for all your support. 

That's all for this week. I hope you all have a great week. Good luck with your exams. Do something that your future self will thank you for!

See you soon,

Tee xoxo
