Music to my ears

aboutme 10:15:00

As I've been an absolutely SHOCKING beauty blogger recently, I thought I'd do another quick post just on some of my favourite songs in general and at the moment! I'm a real lover of music, I love it all and just think its amazing and can make you feel so many emotions!

I really love the band Daughter, and if you haven't heard them you should really check them out! Their song run is one of my favourites and I recently came across this remix of their song and I seriously cannot stop listening to it, it's just too good!

Okay so I decided to use this video instead of Kanye's official video simply because the actual video is a little bit weird, don't get me wrong. Kim K is hot and I applaud her for how amazing she looks after giving birth to North, but the video just freaks me out a little...Sorry Kanye! I am a HUGE Kanye West fan and I really love this song. Sorry not sorry!

This is hands down one of my favourite songs in the world, if I'm feeling a bit down and need a good cry I listen to this song. So take note girls!

I'd go as far as saying this is one of my favourite songs ever, I never EVER get bored of it. It makes me soemotional and so happy at the same time, I just love it too much to even describe. The middle East are a fantastic band and everyone should check them out!

Keaton Henson is just breath-taking and this is probably my favourite song because the lyrics are so beautiful and his voice just melts my soul.

This song, just makes me sing at the top of my lungs. It's so damn catchy and I find myself basically screaming without even realizing, which is hugely embarrassing but it's such a tune that I feel less shameful about partying to it.

I want to share so much more music with you all, but I will probably end up boring you all to death so instead I will leave you with one of my favourite bands; Kodaline. Kodaline are flawless, they make me feel emotions I didn't know were possible or were even still inside me. Plus they are all male and all Irish, WHATS NOT TO LOVE?! Their music is stunning, I cannot even describe how wonderful their music is and their music videos, oh my god. I swear on my life, they have made me cry. If you like them check out the videos for "All I want part 1" and "All I want part 2" those videos make me sob.

I'm sorry if this post has bored you, but I love music and I love sharing it with others who love music! If you actually enjoyed this type of post let me know and I'll do them more, because I certainly enjoy them,

There's no place like home.

I once again apologise for being such a bad blogger! I'm going to get my butt into gear and try my hardest not to leave it until Sunday to do a post, anyway whilst on my train the other day I was having a quick flick through the IKEA websites and other housing parts of particular websites and I thought 'why not make a post on home-ware pieces that I really love?'. If I had a larger room or could afford it, there are so many things that I'd love for my room or when I move out what I would have in my own house, so I thought I'd share a few of the key pieces I'm lusting after at the moment!

1- MALM dressing table

2- Cambridge upholstered chair

3- Yankee candle

4- Bronte Massif check throw

5- Muji acrylic container

6- Mini lace ball light

7- Cable knit cushion

The first piece is a dressing table from IKEA, if you are big on beauty bloggers and vloggers then you will all know this is the queen of dressing tables. I die a little inside every time I remember my little room probably couldn't handle this dresser as it would take up too much space, but I can still lust after it. It's so simple but so effortlessly modern and classy and I want it... badly.

Secondly, I spotted this chair online on the Laura Ashley website and it just looks some comfy. Initially I preferred it in cream, but I saw this pattern which is 'cedar stripe duck egg' and with that name I was sold! I do really adore the colour scheme of this though and think it would be such a nice chair to just curl up on and read a good book in. This particular chair is very pricey, but I have seen cheaper alternatives!

I don't really need to say much for this third one, other than every house hold should have candles. I love candles and Yankee candles are fabulous, the one I chose was in soft cotton and I found it on the Tesco website so that was a bonus.

I think I would be more likely to use this throw on a sofa as I think it would make a living room feel really warm, or if I had all white bed sheets or deep read then I think it would look really lovely. However, I still think I'd prefer it on a sofa.

If you haven't heard of MUJI, you should absolutely check out their website because everything they do is just flawless. However, I think the best stuff they do is the storage! I love collecting things and I find that their range of containers make me want to buy more things just so I can by a container to put them in!

I'm really sorry if you can't see this very well, using a white product on a white background was not NEXT's best idea in the world. I love this product though so I can forgive them, I love how dainty and delicate this product is and I just think it would add so much personality to a room. It's quite cheap as well so perhaps I can find somewhere to hoard it in my room...

Lastly, I just really like cushions. Which is probably really weird, but like candles I think every house should have a really nice fluffy and comfy set of cushions. I spotted these knitted ones on the Tesco's website and I think I'd actually really like a set for my bed as they match my duvet and colour coordination is always great.

Have you seen any of these products yourself and thought 'yes I must have it!' or do you have one of the products that aren't actually that great? Let me know!

Would you rather beauty tag

bbloggers 13:31:00

I came across this tag on faithtrustandpixie-dust's blog and I really liked the look of the questions, and saw that she had tagged anyone who had read it. So I thought why not do it myself! I know I only did a tag the other day, but I really enjoy doing them and find them so interesting and I hope others do as well!

1. Would you rather lose all of your Mascaras, Eye Liners, Lipsticks, and Lip Glosses or lose all of your Palettes and Eye Shadows?

I'd probably rather lose my palettes and eye shadows, this is mainly because I cannot live without my liquid liner. It is probably the only thing that is my baby, the rest of it I'm not actually that bothered about. So I would definitely rather lose my palettes/eye shadows and I have less of those compared to other make-up anyway!

2.Would you rather chop off all your hair or never be able to cut it again?

I personally find that I suit long hair over short hair, I find short hair makes me look like I have a really round and chubby head and whenever my hairs too short I get super upset because I think I look like a boy (yes seriously). So I think for that reason I'd rather just never cut it again? However, I have really thick hair and I think I would end up killing myself in the night by choking on my hair.

3. Would you rather have a coral cheek or a pink cheek?

This for me depends on the make and the shade of the actual pink/coral shade, I find that more high end products have much nicer coral shades (I'm looking at you CORALista). Overall, I find that pink shades are usually better in all shades and brands, so I would probably go pink! I'm quite warm skinned though compared to some people so I can get away with either.

4. If you had £1000 to spend, would you rather buy clothes or make-up?

This is so difficult, in general I spend A LOT more on clothes. I am constantly buying clothes and I don't even really know how? Although, in the past few months I have been spending a lot more on make up and skin/hair care products. The idea of being able to go to MAC, benefit and Laura Mercier and splash out would make me so very happy, but I think I'd probably still go for the clothes simply because they are probably more likely to last me longer than make-up and I know after me someone else will appreciate the clothes.

5. Would you rather apply Lipstick as Eye Liner, or Eye Liner as Lipstick?

Absolutely eyeliner as lipstick, I think I could rock the black lip look...maybe...probably not.

6. Would you rather only shop at MAC or Sephora?

Probably Sephora, simply because of the face its not just ONE specific brand. You have loads of variety and choice which is what appeals to me!

7. Would you rather only use one Eye Shadow colour or one lip colour for the rest of your life?

I always feel that lipsticks look a little silly on me, but I think this could be because I wear quite a lot of eye make-up. I say that though, even if I'm wearing minimal eye make-up I always find lip products don't suit me? Maybe I just haven't been looking properly, I wish I wore more lipsticks because I actually have quick full lips and think if I found the right lippy they could look fab. So I'll go for one eye shadow!

8. Would you rather wear winter clothes in summer or summer clothes in winter?

Winter clothes in summer, which is basically what I do anyway! I love jumpers and shirts, jeans and boots and because England is always quite mild anyway I can usually get away with wearing that. Unless it gets particularly hot, then I will wear some shorts or playsuits.

9. Would you rather have dark nails or bright nails all year round?

Dark nails absolutely. I love deep reds and purples, dark blues, greys and blacks! I think they look classic and amazing, especially on my long nails.

10. Would you rather give up your favourite lip product or your favourite eye product?

I'd definitely rather give up my favourite lip product, as I said I don't wear a lot on my lips but I couldn't live without my collection 2000 fast stroke eye liner. It's probably one of my favourite products EVER.

11. Would you rather only be able to wear your hair in a ponytail or a messy bun?

I don't actually wear my hair up a lot, so I'm not sure? I'd probably be more likely to go for a ponytail as my messy buns are very sad and pathetic, so I'd rather stick with what I know!

12. Would your rather never be able to paint your nails again or never use lip gloss?

Never use lip gloss, I ALWAYS have my nails painted. I don't have them done at the moment because I had no time, and I hate it because my hands look so plain and boring.

13. Would you rather shave your eyebrows and have none at all or Sharpie them in everyday?

I'd rather sharpie them, I've naturally got quite dark hair so I think I'd just dye it darker and use a dark sharpie and hope that no one would notice? Although my drawing skills are pretty pathetic...

14. Would you rather live without make-up or nail polish?

I'd rather live without my nail polish because I find that wearing make up just makes me look and feel a lot better about myself in general. I do love painting my nails though, but I'm sure I could survive.

I'm going to tag anyone who reads this! xoxox

Simple Kind to eyes revitalising eye roll-on review

bbloggers 09:50:00

I said that I planned on posting as soon as possible and so I decided to do a review on something I bought the other day that I already love! I've always been a sucker for simple products, I just find that they do exactly what they say they're supposed to. So when I saw this on offer for 3 pound how could I possibly say no? Simple claim that this product 'helps reduce puffiness, wake up and revitalise tired eyes" so really it's a win/win for everyone and it is apparently perfect for sensitive skin, I don't have overly sensitive skin but I have SUPER sensitive eyes; most of the time they are red, watery and swollen gunky messes and for that reason I wanted to see if it made a difference to my irritable eyes which could be seen as slightly risky.

The packaging is just your average simple type packaging, there isn't anything over special about it. I think simple could possible do a bit more in terms of packaging, but in all honesty the products they distribute are so good that for once I'm not put off by the lack pretty packaging! The product itself comes in a small tube and has a rollerball at the end where the liquid comes out, it's a really easy product to use; give a slight squeeze until you see some of this liquid come out of the sides and then gently rub in circular motions underneath your eyes. It says on the box if there is any excess left underneath your eyes that you can just gently pat it in, I choose to rub it in if theres a lot but usually just leave my skin to soak it up.

I find that as soon as I've applied this to under my eyes, they instantly feel a lot less irritated and cooler which is such a relief on my face. It actually contains cucumber extracts and a range of multi-vitamins, which explains why it's so soothing on the skin. I apply it in the morning and I instantly feel so much more awake, and considering I get up at half 5 during the week it is definitely a life-saver! I suffer quite badly with dark circles under my eyes and I feel this has slightly helped with that? I think I'm probably just going a bit crazy but I just find that the skin under my eyes looks far less loose and tired, I actually look a lot healthier!

If you're like me and suffer with irritable eyes, this is product you really need to try! Just last night my eyes were red raw and streaming something fierce, so I just popped this on underneath my eyes and they felt far less painful which was amazing for me as sometimes I can really suffer. In most shops it's sold for about £4.99 and on amazon its £3. I think for the size of the roll-on I'd be slightly put off, but because I've seen a genuine difference in my eyes and it actually helps me with pain I get on my eyes, I will absolutely repurchase this without a second thought!

What are your thoughts on simple products? Have you ever used their revitalising roll-on?

The road to good skin.

aboutme 13:08:00

*Caution- What you are about to see is a female with absolutely no make up on, absolutely nothing. Look at your own risk*

Quite a big difference with the photo's really isn't there? I never thought I'd see the day where I'd post completely bare photos of myself on the internet, that was definitely not expected. As I publish this post, I wave my chances of getting a boyfriend or being shown affection ever again as they fly past. Personally, I don't really think that my skin is actually that bad and compared to some people I am actually very lucky and blessed with the skin that I have and I am aware of this. So please don't take this post as me complaining because its really not! I'm very happy with the naturally tanned/warm complexion that I have and although I have combination skin and I'm prone to the occasional break out, I actually have quite good skin.

So you're probably thinking "well what is the point of this post then?" in the past few weeks I have realised that my skin although it isn't bad, it could be a hell of a lot better. The reason it isn't is down to a number of things and I'd say the biggest contributors are; water, sleep and skin care in general. From as young as I can remember, I have hated water. Don't ask why but for some reason if I have too much it used to make me feel so sick so I would just stick with coffee, juice and alcohol (I'm very classy as you can tell) so I'm never fully hydrated. In a day I have maybe 2 drinks, which is AWFUL as you're supposed to have atleast 3 litres a day. I've never had a solid sleeping pattern; one night I'll sleep 4 hours and the next I'll get about 12 and this really isn't good for my skin, especially under my eyes as I am prone to dark circles. Lastly, although I do take my makeup off every night and do the occasional cleanse and exfoliation I'm not very good at doing it religiously.

So recently, I've decided that I'm going to change these three factors and have already started not that long ago. So I thought that each week I could do a post on how my efforts of achieving good skin are going, almost like a mini series? Some of my favourite bloggers do little series' so I thought why don't I give one a crack! The biggest things I'm trying to achieve are: drink atleast 3 litres of water a day, get atleast 7/8 hours sleep a day, and look after my skin a lot more in general.

In the last week since I started, I was actually doing quite well; especially with drinking water as I was achieving the 3 litres every day! Then the weekend came and I decided it was a good idea to eat horrifically and drink an excessive amount... which it probably wasn't. I also did well with the sleep until the weekend, on friday night I got 12 hours sleep and on saturday I got about 4, so that wasn't my best choice and I also did no skin care at the weekend at all. I plan not to slack anymore though as this is important to me, I dream of a day where foundation is no longer needed.

One thing I will say, is if you are considering doing the same when drinking 3 litres of water a day you begin to flush all of the toxins and gross stuff out of your body and this results in breakouts of spots. Which I'm currently battling with, but don't give up as it'll will be worth it in the end! Or so I keep telling myself...

Have any of you considered doing the same or similar?

The Procrastinating Beauty Blogger TAG

bbloggers 11:28:00

Rules:

1. You must copy and paste these 'rules' onto your post when you write it, it doesn't take long!.

2. You must state that this tag was created by 'The Beau Bow' and link www.thebeaubow.blogspot.com

3. You must thank the person who tagged you at the start of your post (link their blog as well) - follow them if you're feeling nice!, and then at the end of your post state who you tag, and then comment on their blog on their latest post to let them know you tagged them, and link your post so they can see what to do.

4. Title this post 'The Procrastinating Beauty Blogger TAG' so everyone knows what it is about.

5. Have fun!

1. Name a beauty regime that you rarely do?

A beauty regime that I used to do daily is now something I'll be lucky to do once a month; moisturising. I still moisturise my face daily so that's not the problem, but I don't moisturise my body I have tonnes of body lotions, butters, creams etc etc and I used to be really good at keeping up with this. In the past year I've gotten so bad at it though and then I wonder why my skin is particularly dry. I do it occasionally if I'm going for a night out or something, but apart from that I won't do it.

2. Is washing your make-up brushes something that you do regularly?

God no, I'm absolutely terrible at doing this as a regular routine. I want to do it more and I get so annoyed that I don't, but I just can't be bothered with it most of the time and I know how gross it is that I don't, but it's just one of those things I don't seem to get round to doing? Probably because I'm a lazy bugger who knows. I just think I don't take pride in the brushes I have at the moment which is why I'm thinking maybe I should invest in a nice set and some actual cleaning product for the brushes in the hope that I will actually clean them weekly or even every other week!

3. How long will you last with chipped nail polish?

This all depends on how busy I am at the time, there has been times I've been so miffed with my nails that I've painted them 3 times in a day because I've had the time to do it. Whereas if I'm busy throughout the week, I can end up with half painted and half horrifically chipped and I'll just deal with it until I have the time and pretend i'm going for a 'grunge look' (clever I know). So I can actually last quite long with chipped nails, which isn't actually a good thing; it just means I'm too busy to do them.

4. How long will you put off buying/replacing a beauty product, even if you need it?

If I haven't got the money, I will try and hold off for as long as I possibly can unless its something I really need and then I usually buy it as soon as I spot it. I'm actually quite good at putting off from buying something, apart from if its for my hair because I buy my own shampoo and conditioner because I a lot more than the rest of my family so I can usually wait a week before I desperately have to buy it because I can get away with just using my families products for a little while. My liquid liner is something that if it runs out I actually have to stay out of shops where its sold just so I don't buy it because this is something I physically cannot live without!

5. What is your worst beauty habit?

Not using heat protectant on my hair, I know how naughty this is and after all the hair trauma I've had in the past you'd of thought I'd learnt my lesson, but nope; I'll just think "ah I'm only doing a few bits so it can't cause that much damage" DO NOT DO THIS PLEASE USE HEAT PROTECTANT. Don't be a fool like me, because you will regret it so much if your hair ends up in horrible condition, the only reason I risk it is because I leave my hair natural now most of the time and so I feel that it's not quite as bad.

6. Name something non-beauty related that you put off doing all the time?

I'm embarrassed to admit that it's tidying my room, I'm what you call 'a lazy perfectionist' I want everything to be perfect and organised, but at the same time I just really can't be bothered- it's a frustrating lifestyle to live. I get so angry getting home from work and going into my room to see it messy, but I'm just so tired I say I'll do it at the weekend and then the weekend comes and I can't be bothered at all. I put it off constantly and I wish I didn't and it's so annoying.

7. When going out somewhere, do you leave getting ready to the last minute?

When it comes to getting ready before going out, I will plan hours before. If I'm going out for the day I will set about 6 alarms the night before giving me time frames of what I need to do and when. It's probably a bit weird, but if I know I'm going out everything needs to be ordered and I need to know what I'm doing or I feel extremely anxious and I dread going out. If I make plans last minute then obviously I will try to get ready as quickly as I possibly can, but other than that I will get ready with so much time to spare.

8. Can you commit to spending bans?

Not really no, I am a bit of a shopaholic and I just seem to be buying stuff whether I have the money to or not. I'd like to think that if I REALLY needed something then I could obviously get away with not spending money, I paid for a lot of my holiday which meant that I didn't physically have money to spend. So I'm going to count that as a spending ban! If I see beauty products or clothing that I really want I can't resist the temptation, I'm also a complete bugger for buying food that I don't need; I buy A LOT of food, which is why people are shocked I'm not gigantic.

9. How organised is your make-up and nail polish collections?

This is something that really gets to me, because I LOVE storage. I spend hours trawling the internet for cute/ vintage boxes and looking on MUJI and IKEA drooling at all the the beautiful storage that they had and since becoming a lot more passionate about beauty products I really want some night storage and I would genuinely kill for the MALM white dressing table from IKEA. Sadly because my room is so small, I don't have a lot of room to expand my love for storage right now so I will just have to carry on dreaming. As for my nail varnish, at the moment I can get away with just keeping them all on a shelf.

I'm going to tag:

My favourite bloggers and vloggers!

bbloggers 11:10:00

I thought considering I'm pretty new to blogging, it would only be right for me to do a post on what initially made me want to blog in the first place! Something you need to know about me is that I love reading, it's something I've picked up from my mum. I can read a book super quickly and take in all of the content, so I actually read between 40 and 50 blog posts a day (maybe more) I'm always looking for new blogs to read, and if you think that I'd like your blog or you just want an extra follower don't be afraid to message me or send me a comment because I'll be happy to!
Anyway, considering I read so many blogs I am constantly finding more and more that I absolutely adore. However, these are probably the ones that made me want to be a blogger; they are my all time favourites! It's weird because they are all my favourite vloggers as well!

Milkbubbletea- I always have a fan girl over Becky (fun fact for you, she's actually tweeted me a few times and whenever she has I have squealed like she's a celeb- I'm so cringy). Her blog is breathtakingly beautiful, its very pretty and simple and I think that's what I love about it the most. Out of all of my blogs, her photos are my favourite as they just make her blog; she definitely has a talent for taking photos. In fact, she seems to have a talent for anything that she takes on! Her recipes are to die for and her DIY posts are so clever and wonderfully set out, she recently made over her parents bedroom and oh my god, I want her to do my bedroom it's fabulous!

Sprinkleofglitter- Louise is actually one I've followed for a while, but not religiously. I'd just occasionally have a quick look and that would be it, but ever since watching her you tube videos early this year I have become more and more obsessed with her! She is honestly the nicest blogger in the blogging world, she's so sweet and honest and she just seems like the perfect mummy- baby glitter is VERY lucky (and the cutest little girl in the world, I want her...). If I'm ever feeling down, I'll either read sprinkleofglitter or I'll watch her videos and I'll forget about everything for a while. She's absolutely beautiful inside and out and I wish she was my friend, so if you see this Louise PLEASE BE MY FRIEND YES OKAY GOOD xoxoxo

Zoella- Zoe is just, amazing. She is just absolutely fab, she's much more of a vlogger than a blogger which makes me sad because I love when she does blog posts but I actually think I do prefer her videos. She's so funny and comes across as someone who is just a genuinely nice human being, her hair is absolutely amazing (she is what made me love ombre) and any video she does she does flawlessly and they all just turn out amazing. She's also best friends with Louise from sprinkleofglitter and I just want to be their friend or have a friendship like they have, I always hope that with blogging I'll make some amazing friends and we can visit each other and be cute and fab like they are.

Etcllymlrs + llymlrs- LLYMLRS & ETCLLYMLRS are the first two blogs I ever read, I absolutely adore Lily and this she is so uniquely beautiful. I always have serious envy whenever I look at her because I love everything about her; hair, face, clothes EVERYTHING. She is so awesome and comes across as so down to earth, her reviews are always so detailed and contain everything you need to know about a product. She also does everything, from cheap brands to high end brands so she doesn't just stick to one particular area which is what is great about her. I think her youtube videos are awesome as well, she is always so quirky and chirpy and her hauls make my life. She dresses and styles herself in every way that I wish I could, if I had the money and the confidence! She is seriously cool and you should check her out.

Viviannadoesmakeup- Anna is probably the most recently blog that I discovered in the past few months, her videos are beautifully filmed and edited together and she just always looks so elegant and stunning. Her tutorials are always really well done and she explains everything in such detail, I absolutely love her 'get unready with me' video. It always make me feel really relaxed which is probably not the most normal thing... Her blog just reflects her in every way, its so simple and elegant and the layout is just very nice and easy to use. If you really like watching tutorials, her blog/vlog is the one for you!

Job tips

bbloggers 12:29:00

I'm now starting the third week of my new job and I thought that another blog post I could do was on starting a new job and just a few tips and how to cope with it.

As a person, I'm quite peculiar because I've been told I'm a very confident and 'quirky' person and this benefits me in a number of ways, but at the same time I'm an extremely anxious person and the simplest thing can set me off (e.g. cheeky crying sesh's at my last job) so when starting a new job I was quite concerned at how I was going to manage and if I would at all. I have so far absolutely adored every second of it and so thought why not do a blog post on a few tips!

Fake it until you make it- This probably sounds like an odd tip, but I've always found that pretending I'm more confident means that bit by bit I will become more confident. If you come in to your job absolutely petrified and you show this, then you won't last. It sounds harsh but honestly you will find that people will feel more at ease with you the more open and relaxed you appear, if you are closed off and quite it won't help you in any way shape or form. It is really hard, but even the occasional smile or laugh gets you a long way and it really is worth putting yourself out there.

Don't be afraid to ask for help- This is something that I am AWFUL with, in school and in past jobs if I have a problem or don't understand; I would just deal with it. This just resulted in more and more issues for me and luckily the grown-up in me has learnt this, so if I don't understand something I ask for help and even when I do understand I just double check the first few times to make sure it's right. People won't get annoyed at you for asking for help, they'd be more angry if you didn't ask and did everything completely wrong which resulted in a lot of problems. So don't worry about them, they are there to help you and it is crucial to remember that. If they do get frustrated with you, then brush it off and remember that they were once in the same position as you!

Research research research- I honestly cannot stress this enough, BEFORE STARTING A NEW JOB OR GOING FOR AN INTERVIEW- RESEARCH THE JOB AND COMPANY YOU ARE GOING TO. Who knows, in the end you may not eventually need the information you have but it is still handy to have and makes you appear skilled and like you know your stuff. I know nothing about electrics and mechanics, but I researched the company and the people in the company so that I'm not completely incapable and I feel much more relaxed that I have the basic knowledge to do my job to the best of my ability.

Don't give up- One thing I hate is when people are given the chance to experience a new job and when the going gets tough, they give up. I stayed in a job that at some points made me feel lower than I ever have, because I knew I needed the money and the experience. So if you don't like the job, deal with it. I'm not saying be like me and stay if you really hate it, obviously if you get to the end of a month and you really really dread getting up and going in the morning then consider your health and find another job, but make sure you have secured another job before giving up your current job. Obviously, if you have a genuine reason to want to leave after a week or so (bullying, harassment etc) then this is completely understandable, but leaving after a week because it was hard, or you didn't like it is silly because someone would love to have the job that you have been offered and you gave it up like it was nothing.

Push yourself- I personally find it very difficult to make friends and for this reason I don't have a large amount *worlds smallest violin* and so I was quite worried I wouldn't get on with anyone and that no one would like me. It's a worry that everyone gets when starting at a new job (and school) and the best thing to do is be yourself, or start of by being yourself in small doses and ease your colleagues into it. Anyone who knows me knows that I'm a pretty weird person, and I didn't want the people I work with to think I'm an escaped mental patient so I'm being myself 110% but I'm just keeping back the weird for now and going to ease them into it and if I decided that its best they don't see how odd I am. Then who cares? That's only a small segment of my personality and apart from that I have been completely open and honest with who I am and haven't been something I'm not. Also pushing yourself with your work is important, I have no previous experience whatsoever in my job field. However, I wanted to do it and I knew I would enjoy it so I'm pushing myself and I'm so glad I did because I'm slowly getting more jobs and responsibilities and its hard work but it is so worth it.

Suck up- I personally have found that in a job, sucking up occasionally can be a good thing and help you out in the future. Its show co-workers and my bosses that you're caring and considerate towards others and like to make an effort for other people. It's something I would tell everyone to really consider in some way or another.

These are just a few tips that I have found come in handy over the past week or so. Have you got any tips you've found useful when starting a new job or school? Or if you use any of these tips eventually let me know because I'd love to know!
