How to reduce college stress for teenagers (like myself)

Oh God its been so long since I saw my baby blogger!! 
Argh, have been so busy lately. Got 4 huge assignments due right after Christmas. English Essay, bio essay, chemistry lab report, bio test, art final project, art competition work AND to top it all off I am getting braces that week(: Great. So no Christmas 'holidays' for me.  
And to be honest I have to work extra hard this year to get to DP (IB's Diploma Programme). And to get into DP I need all 6's and 7's (out of 7-.-). Hmm, working on that as well. So anyway. I have been really stressed lately so thought I should write about how I kind of reduce the stress. So here it goes guys!


1) Listen it out!
Hmm, I dont know but music speaks to me. It is weird but whenever I am really tired and feel emotionally breaking down, I listen to music and make myself relieved for atleast half an hour. I mean, come on. You do have half an hour! So listen it all out! Tune up your music and sing along as loud as possible even, it does make things better and makes you feel much lighter afterwards.


2) Take a Day off.
I know I know, it is not as easy at it sounds but you honestly need a break! Not for too long though otherwise you might lack behind. So maybe pick a day in a week or if too busy in a month? And on that day you will refuse yourself from working. But make sure this does not happen to much otherwise you will lack behind and that will do no good to your stress level at the end. Take a day off and just relax yourself, watch a movie, go out with friends, go out with family, enjoy yourself and do not think about course work or any other test etc. !WARNING! if you have a test due the next day, pospond your free day, you do not want to fail after all that hard work, now do you?


3) Don't work for others, work for yourself and think about your rewards!!
I mean, hello? You do want a reward for working hard, now dont you? So dig yourself into books for a long time and then at one point stop AND think about how beautiful life will be once you pass this test or your work. But again !WARNING! do not get into your imagination for too long, you will forget your work. So keep in mind your reward and goal!


4) Pamper yourself.
If you are a girl, hey get out of your books and tune up some music and get out your favourite nailpolish and get to work! Make yourself feel special and pamper yourself every now and then. And if you are a boy, (I am not a boy so I might not know what you guys do) pamper yourself with a good game of Black Ops! Get on that old xbox/Playstation and start your work and kill some N00BS;)


5) Do Yoga.
Yoga is such a helpful thing. Don't go to the really complex yoga things cause for some reason I find them really stressful. I mean breath in and out and stay in a comfertable position but don't let anyone near u and forget the world for 10 minutes. !TIP! Put your phone on a 10 minute alarm. And just sit in your yoga position and relax. Don't open your eyes until your alarm goes off, and don't answer to anyone until the time is finished.


6) Pray (if you have a religion)
Praying is like talking to God and explaining to God how he can help you. Do not forget he is around you all the time. Pray for at least 5 minuted, and stay happy. I am a Muslim so I might have different views from you all but I pray regularly and am proud of it. I don't just do it for the sake of getting into heaven but also for my own peace of mind. I mean, I don't want to worry all the time on dying any minute and still not getting into heaven. So hey, talk to God and make yourself feel relieved from everything. If you believe that God is the one that created you, then you should also know he is the only one who can take you onto the right path.


7) Stay positive!!
Nothing will go right once you are negative, and if you are nervous at a test and stressed all night drinking coffee, that would not help. Keep calm and aim for good grades and tell yourself you can do it! And if you get a low grade, don't worry too much. My chemistry teacher told me last night on the parents teacher evening, ''You work hard but you are still not ready to take out the fruit off the tree branches. Just keep watering your tree and keep it up, you will rise. And ambition is the key to success!'' So stay positive and aim for higher grades and it will give you a less of a headache.


8) Don't use wrong techniques to reduce stress, they will cause other problems later on!
Being a teenager can cause you smoking or even using drugs to reduce your stress. But if you think about it, you are just putting something off for tomorrow. You are basically putting off stress of today to tomorrow. If you start smoking or using drugs it can cause problems later on in life which will cause stress. So putting it off will not help either. So stay away from it!


9) Write down your stress.
Sometimes talking to yourself actually helps. If you are having stress due to not only college related subjects but also personal things that could not be shared with friends and family get a diary and write everything you feel while you are stressed. Write down why, when, where and how you can avoid it. 


10) Stay happy and enjoy life like there is no tomorrow!
Stress can also be 'gone' by just forgetting about the world and living happy. 'You don't know when or how you will die', that is what my mum always tells me. She says, 'why live unhappily and forget God if you don't even know about the next second in your life?'. And it all makes sense, we plan way too much and end up with nothing. So always stay on the bright side of the world and stay relaxed most of the time. 


And now, this being a VERY long blog I want you to stay possitive and reduce your stress;) Hope it helped,
Good luck,
Love,

I RETURN TO BLOGGER with Aria Montgomery's Fashion!

I return! And it has been more than a month that I wrote anything on blogger or posted any blogs/videos. So here is a treat! I am going to give you a fashion update, which will be Aria Montgomery's style and sense of fashion. Aria basically wears a lot of layers of clothes and at the same time has very elegant look. To get that full look please do not buy any bright colours from now on!
Aria has an emo side, but still not all black. Just dull colours such as grey, brown, blue and even black. Her makeup and nails are also in very dark colours but her makeup usually is not as black as expected. For example in this photo you can see that Aria has matched her blue earings with her waterlash line. Which I believe is a great idea! Her lips and cheeks however are pink and all the attention is dragged to her earings.

Aria's hair on the other hand is usually curly. But not always! Sometimes it is perfectly straight! However I believe she looks beautiful with both (outwards curls&silky straight hair) hair styles.

Then coming back to her nails! They are usually in different colours, blue, brown, grey and they are not always that dark! But still, with her dark colour code they don't look too bright!

Then as mentioned, she wears a lot of layers and wears dull colours. But that is not what completes aria's look; dresses and leggings! Aria seems to be always wearing dresses to me for some reason. Just like Blair from Gossip Girl however Blair wears more like Spencer Hasting(ish) dresses and skirts. But Blair also has bright coloured leggings, and if you want that look then you are on the wrong blog my dear! 

However, Aria always seems to have black leggings, and for example in the picture below she is wearing very flowery leggings but they still look great and not too over rated, if you know what I mean.

But her dresses are build up into different layers where she mixes and matches. For example a dress with leather jacket or a leopard print jumper with shorts and leggings and a tank top. Aria's got it all! But jewelry is also on her top list, as the first picture on this post; her earings are big and drag all the attention from the face and makes us pay less attention to the makeup. Aria tends to wear long necklaces and earings that match her clothes |(most of the time). 

However Aria over all has a great sense of fashion and it could be used for any high school student. It is great for a formal or informal day. Don't be lazy and wear layers and layers of clothes! 

See you soon babes, (I hope!)

Stay Fit!

 Hello there!


So it has been a while since I wrote a social kinda blog so here it is! Hmm, it is such a nice cold weather! Like it is not very beautiful, but it is so nice and comfertable at home. Hoodies on, scarfs rapped up, heaters on and movies! But cold weather to some people means a break in fitness but NO! Stay fit!
So here are some tips that you can use to keep fit DURING winter!


1) jogging, every single day.
I know it is a pain in the ass to get up in the morning and jog for even a minute. But if you want to stay fit, wear your favourit sweatpants and hoodie or T-Shirt, your shoes and grab your iPod and keep running and runnig! If you want to stay fit and healthy get up and run!


2) Swimming once a week atleast
Swimming is such a good sport for girls and boys. It keeps our body in good shape for a beach party! So get up and go swimming. Atleast once a week or if you don't like swimming for what so ever reason, do some other good sport for once a week such as tennis or vollyball or football? Just do something that wil help you lose calories in no time.


3) Eat and eat!
Girls love hearing a couple of things but one of my favourite thing to hear is, "EAT!" i love eating just like the rest of you. So eat anything, but keep excercing while doing so. 


4) Be mentally prepared for weight loss/gain
Sometimes it is a challange to step on the weight machine because you might have not lost even a pound but it is okay because you need to be prepared for it later. Don't give up. And if you gained weight just think about it all, think it all over and set goal for the next time you are going to step on the weight machine. Dont feel bad because you gained some weight, you are still young and healthy so you have a long way to go. 

5) Be Happy
Be happy and appreciate what you got, it will help you by supporting yourself. Be happy and smile because that is one of the things that can make life work without any pain. No regrets guys!

Pretty Little Liars make-up tutorial

So All of pretty little liars are beautiful but make-up is a huge thing that is making them so beautiful and natural at the same time. I am doing Emily's make-up tutorial because my skin matches the most with her. So here is a 'tutorial' on how you can get this look.


1) Apply liquid Foundation that suits your face. I am using Maybelline NY SuperStay 24h foundation. 048 SUN BEIGE

2) Apply 1 layer of powder foundation. I am using Mac foundation for this one. It does not say which number but use one that is according to your face.

3) Apply concealer or conceal your areas that are darker then other areas. Make it all equal.


4) Apply very light pink eyeshadow- one layer.

5) Apply black or very dark brown eyeshadow on the eyes- not full eyes but like this:

6) Apply black liquid eyeliner

7) Apply mascara (optional: curl your eyelashes)

8) Use a natural lip colour, and then a natural lip gloss ( I am using; catrice be natural 010 & maybelline superstay powergloss 12h colourshine 680)

9) Apply bronzer to define your cheekbones, and apply very light pink blush on the apple of your cheekbones.

10) smile;)

So this is the photo I used, and my outcome at the same time. Hope it was helpfull!

Never say Never premiere

This was months ago but I just had so much fun with my friends that I had to mention my 'journey' to watch never say never for the first time. 


2 months ago from the premiere :


OMG. THE TRAILER IS HOT. Hmm.. Justin Bieber's life.. interesting. HOLY CRAP JUSTIN BIEBER IN 3D?! shit he is doing the hairflip... in SLOW MOTION?! hot hot hot!

1 month before the movie:


OKAY GUYS LETS BOOK OUR TICKETS FOR THE MOVIE.. IT IS IMPORTANT. (me and my two frieeends booked the tickets one month before the actual show...) 


excited.. as ever.


the day of the movie:
Woke up.. went to school.. usual things. and then i left school at 3.00 cause the movie was gonna start at 4.00 pm. I was sitting on the steps of the cinema entrance... the whole cinema place was full of girls... like millions of girls.. I saw my both friends walking down all excited.. We went down to the cinema hall. They were giving out 3D glasses.. Me and my friends were like, "wait are they ever purple?!" AND THEN. they were purple! WE JUMPED. 

Yes guys it was officially the best day of my life! 
And then there were little comptetions and people won some 'bieber things'.. Everyone was shouting and screaming.. It was something like this 

And that was just the beginning, the end was very emotional/exciting.. My dear beliebers, you could not hear a THING from the movie. :D


And then at the end we all took snapshots for memories;)

Yes we look a bit too hyper. But that was worth the crazy photos:)

I am no Superhero..

 Spiderman, Batman, Catwoman? These are all superheros. And trust me, I am not. I am wrong most of the time. And I have what is called in normal words, "A shit life".. Or what people say, "fml" on facebook and msn actually makes sense. Nobody understands me, no one needs to because I am not perfect and neither are you!
Nobody is perfect. Nobody ever will be. We want the things that we don't have. 
And the things we have we never appreciate it. And why is that so? Because we are human. We make mistakes, some of us regret it. Trust me, you people who regret it need to suck up the tears and throw everything right down the cornor. And the people that don't regret anything are usually MUCH more happier. And I realized that because I am mentally very strong now. I am still not perfect but I do know what things I need to regret and what things I dont. Have you heard the song, "No Regrets" by Dappy? If you havent, here is the link. Listen to it. Read the lyrics.

 And now throw everything in the trash and start over. 
"Move on, go to the next chapter. But do not close the book." You don't know what is in the next chapter if you close the book because you "expect" a sad ending. But how do you know it is a sad ending if one of the chapters is sad. And this is your life. Not the person who made it hard for you to continue the book. 
Humans expect a lot. And end up getting none of it. I thought that when I would be 15, I would have been happy. Listening to songs. Out with my 'best friends'. Living the life. 
But none of that actually happens! You are not perfect, you don't need to be perfect. Being emo will not help. I can say so because I have tried. Be yourself. You don't have to smile every second of your life, but atleast show the others that you are happy and you don't need any support. I aint no superhero, but I would rather be me than a superhero;) 


Be Strong, Be you! 
Good luck,
Love,
Ramsha xx
