LAYHAGNOY (23/07/2013)

So I just got home in floods of tears dripping down to my knees and yes I did wear makeup today I actually wore little foundation but a lot of eye makeup and no I had no intention from crying far from it  ! I now resemble a panda

Now what happened in a nutshell is that I had to hand in 2 tasks to hand in for my A-levels which I did by 10:30 am today (23/07/2013) - the deadline was 1:00 pm (on the same day) the teacher marked it by 12:55 and I had small corrections so I didn't get an A I have no hope of getting an A* now that I wanted overall now I am now stuck with a standard C. If the work was marked straight away it would've been fine but it wasn't. Yes I can still get an A overall still good but it's not an A*. The reason why I am now dying on my bed an hour later is because I ALWAYS FAIL !!! having said that don't feel sorry for me this is more about you I want to encourage everyone out there like me to CHASE YOUR DREAMS, GET YOUR GRADES, DO AS YOU PLEASE and HAVE FUN !! and most importantly FIGHT WHAT YOU WANT!!

I not talking about physically hitting someone that's illegal ! ... I think ? Now my parents are lovely honest to God they do soo much for me BUT they never taught me how to fight for what I want and need and over the years I've learnt that

1. No isn't always final - Sooo what do you do when someone says you can't do something THEN JUST DO IT TO PROVE THEM WRONG but ... If you can't really prove it (in certain situations you can't!) find out why they said no and prove them wrong.
2. take up every opportunity you can get ! as it will benefit you in the future and even if it doesn't you still have one more thing you can do/know !

Do what others WON'T do so you CAN do what they CAN'T

if you want to take up more responsibility or get more involved you should visit here: http://www.future-foundations.co.uk/ - if you are not applicable for this then go help CHARITY, find a similar organisation if you can or just take part in school plays/events/clubs.

the whole point for this is ... IF YOU'RE NOT HAPPY CHANGE !

A lot of the time I feel very lonely because there's no one I talk to that I can share this with ... So if you guys feel lonely bored you can ....

I am now officially an agony aunt !! :D

My Skin Care Routine !

First I am going to have a small introduction on my skin and then I will talk about some basic technique with your routine and then I will move on to my own daily skin care routine

Okay so I have had acne since I was around 13 so year 8, I am now 18 ! in year 12 (I did a B-Tec year). Yes I do still get the odd spot now and again however it is less of a problem as I feel I have learnt a lot about how to deal with them and treat them so they won't come back ... well nowhere as often as they used to !

The first thing I want to share with you is that your skin evolves ... yes you read correctly it evolves by this I mean it can become immune to products so when you initially buy a product it may will be phenomenal however 6 weeks later you may start to see the odd spot - But this doesn't mean your skin will go back to it's original state with consistent use. Therefore I recommend that you switch up your products every few weeks or so for optimal results. what I do personally is whenever I get bored with my cleanser/mask as it may not be performing as well, I switch back to an oldie - Don't keep buying new products that is expensive and wasteful. so aim to do this - use the  product A for just over a month then switch to B for a few weeks then A again until one is empty so you can buy a new product or repurchase your old one.

Also don't use a product for 2 days and decide it isn't working some products do take time! give it a minimum of 2 weeks and also if you seem to notice you are getting very small white spots ignore them only stop the product if you are getting huge spots possibly red and painful and you know this is due to the product (so change one product at a time so you know which to blame it causes you to break out). Also be consistent, if you want flawless skin like Kim Kardashian, she mentioned a while back she does her night regime EVERY night regardless of how late or how tired she is she removes every last spec of makeup before starting her regime.

The best tip I can give is what I read in a magasine a very long time ago - and I've been using it since as it is so helpful! the tip is to make your skin damp (you can do this by splashing water on to the skin and then drying it off), then cleanse, tone and moisturise every single night ! - that's it. So prep the skin, cleanse, tone, moisturise. follow this tip regardless of your skin type as it applies to all - the reason why I say this is because anyone with oily skin would see moisturise and look away ! Don't ! yes you may have oily skin but skin which is oily on the outside is dry on the in so that needs to be hydrated.

Have a morning AND a night regime ! below are the products I am currently using:

My Morning Routine:

Face wash:
I always start my day off with:  Tea Tree Skin Clearing Facial Wash

 (http://www.thebodyshop-usa.com/skin-care/face-wash/tea-tree-skin-clearing-facial-wash.aspx)

This is a great face wash as it lathers up nicely which means it's gentle to your skin (so if your face wash lathers nicely it shows there are good or at least decent ingredients in it, if it doesn't lather I wouldn't recommend to re-purchase). The smell is alright it is not an issue for me it is fine. Tea tree is great for getting rid of spots so don't shy away from tea tree (oil) products !

Toner:

Next is my toner and I am using: Tea Tree Skin Clearing Toner

 (http://www.thebodyshop-usa.com/skin-care/skin-care-best-sellers/tea-tree-skin-clearing-toner.aspx)

This toner is the complementary one to my face wash, it has a similar smell which I talked about with the face wash and I don't think anyone would have an issue with it.

Lotion:

Last in my morning regime is my Tea Tree Skin Clearing Lotion

 (http://www.thebodyshop-usa.com/skin-care/skin-care-best-sellers/tea-tree-skin-clearing-lotion.aspx)

This is great you only need a pea size amount and it covers your face and most of your neck ! this is great it has the same smell as the tea tree products mentioned above. the best way I can explain the smell is that it's the same smell as The Body Shop's tea tree oil.

My Night Routine:

Cleanser:
I use this at night: Anne French Deep Cleansing Milk

 (available fro savers and it reasonably priced)

I use cotton pads to apply this and I love this product I have had it for some time and it leaves my skin feeling soft and amazing, I love it !

Toner:

Next is my toner and I am using: Tea Tree Skin Clearing Toner

 (http://www.thebodyshop-usa.com/skin-care/skin-care-best-sellers/tea-tree-skin-clearing-toner.aspx)

This toner is the complementary one to my face wash I use in the morning (I use it a day, but you can use it once a day it works just as well).

Moisturise:

I am currently using: Spiced Vanilla Body Butter

 (only available around Christmas time and it was around £6.00)

I feel it does the job and is light weight so won't rub off on to my pillow also it smell phenomenal I love the smell of vanilla ! sometimes I mix the order I use this and Tea Tree lotion if I want to smell like vanilla in the mornings.

And there you have it my daily skincare !

Also I am using this face mask 2 - 3 times a week and I leave it on for about 10 minutes so it has completely dried. it is called: Visibly Clear 2-in-1

Available from boots in the Neatrogena product section

Lastly before I end this I feel this was very helpful for me to know which was DON'T use more than 3 products in your regime so only 3 products in the morning and 3 (different or same) product(s) at night. This is because after your third product mark the 4 or 5 (even more) product number will no longer be as effective as they would have been if you used them as product number 1, 2 or 3.

Hope I have helped you guys !!
