The Truth About My Education Experience...

Hello guys...

By now you have probably realised that I only return to blogging when I am going through a bad time within my life and feel the need to rant and get it out. That time is now.
As a recent graduate, I have had to face the facts of life after university and all of the crap life throws at you. School/college/University do not prepare you for life at all, I have went through life thinking to myself, 'after this, I will go onto higher education and then I'll find a good job and my life will be set out for me'. Not true.

Throughout University and any course that you choose, there are always statistics telling you "99% of students were in a job a week after graduation", I would love to know where they get their statistics from.   For me personally, I have always worked and always wanted to better myself with my education and was always told "if you want a good career, you have to work for it". So after graduation I assumed that with my degree, I would be able to go into the profession that I wanted however, I later found out it is 100% not what you know, more like who you know.

It does not matter if you are the smartest human in the world, you may not get the job that you want, within many industries it is simply all about the contacts you have within the business. Which truly is upsetting.

Within School, it was all about the grades of your GCSE's and what you got, "you won't be hired with E's" they said. But tell me, how many times have you had to show evidence of your GCSE certificates to get the job you want? For me it's 0 times.

We set out through life thinking we must do the best within everything or we will fail. If you don't get into University then you must be "stupid" or "incapable of doing it". NEWS FLASH: This is not true. No matter what you do within life, as long as you are doing what you love, you're doing great.

If someone told me 6 years ago that I did not need to go to University to go into the profession that I want, I wouldn't have gone. I would have applied for an apprenticeship and worked my way up whilst making money and not getting myself into £30,000+ debt, experienced anxiety and stress.

I believe that I would have been happier if I actually did NOT attend University. But unfortunately, I have been stuck within a life of education which I chose to do and yet I am still not happy or proud of myself. To this day, I still have nightmares about being in College which makes me wonder; why did I put myself through it? For what? A piece of paper?

My advice for anyone right now is, do what you want to do. Do not feel like you are not good enough to get a job without a higher qualification. If you want to go to college or university, do it. If you don't well thats fine too. Either way, be proud of yourself because no matter what you choose to do in life, it does not matter if you do not truly believe in yourself.

10 Things I Find Annoying...

Hello guys...

I have decided to make a blog post about things that I find annoying so this post is pretty much a rant post. I am choosing to do this blog post as a way to separate all of the review posts and discuss all of the things I find so annoying.

Ok so lets get started:

• Rudeness- manners cost nothing so why do you feel the need to be rude to everyone? Even if being kind isn't for you, there is still no need to treat other people like they're trash. Just hold the door open for that person or help them out, don't be so rude!

• Racists- ITS 2015! WHY ARE PEOPLE SO AGAINST OTHERS WITH A DIFFERENT SKIN COLOUR! WE ARE ALL THE SAME. Nothing sickens me more than hearing that more and more individuals are being killed because of their skin colour. It truly is disgusting.

• Careless people- nothing annoys me more than careless people! People that go about their life as if they have no care in the world and don't take care of their own belongings is really annoying. I hate when individuals have everything they want in life and they just don't care about it, they take everything for granted. 

• Wolf whistlers- middle-aged men that find it acceptable to shout and wolf whistle at young girls is just wrong, it is also very intimidating and no-one wants to feel intimidated in the place they live. It is creepy, it must stop!

• Slow walkers- nothing is worse than being stuck behind a slow walker when you are in a rush and need to be somewhere soon. Slow walkers that decide to stop in the middle of the path to have a conversation is even worse. 

• People that can't be happy for you- Nothing annoys me more than when you are so happy about something and you need to tell the world but no one seems to be happy for you or they change the topic onto themselves. NOT EVERYTHING IS ABOUT YOU JUST BE HAPPY FOR ME FOR ONCE PLEASE. 

• Over-dramatic people- is there really any need for your over-dramatic behaviour? You've stubbed your toe, you don't need it removed. People that rant and rave about how bad their life is or how their life is "over" just because they have made one mistake are just too dramatic. You will get over this, don't shout about it.

• People that are always late- People that are always late and think everything revolves around them, really annoy me. If you're late, just don't bother turning up. If you are 10 minutes late or more, do us all a favour and just stay at home. It's so annoying when someones late to say a meeting or a class and then they expect the person talking to explain what they have missed and then the rest of the people there have to hear it again. JUST NO!

• Periods- Every female will agree with me on this one. There is nothing I hate more in life than periods, they truly ruin my life, I do not know one female that has had a great experience with a period. Ever. In there life. I did not ask for periods, I did not ask for this pain, so why do we get them? WHY DO WE HAVE TO PAY FOR PRODUCTS FOR SOMETHING WE DON'T WANT?

• People that make fun of others- People that make fun of others for no reason, deserve a lot of bad karma in their life. Especially if they are making fun of others for something that they like such as a band or their clothing taste. Why can't people just see others be happy? Don't make fun of someone for something they like, just leave them be. Leave them to be happy.

These are 10 things that I find annoying/hate about people and life. Believe me, I could've made a never ending list of things that I find annoying but I decided to keep it at just ten so you all don't become bored.

Leave in the comments what things you find annoying, do you agree or disagree with the ten things I find annoying? Let me know your thoughts...

Somatoxtea...

Hello guys...

(This week I am uploading a mid-week review to get the word out on a product that I am going to be trying out over the next two weeks, hopefully I will be uploading this weekend as normal also!)

this week's blogpost is a slight review put more of an informative post about the product. I was lucky enough to be sent a package from Somatoxtea and I received the skinnytox tea. These tea bags are to help detox and to loose weight, I use detox teabags quite regularly by different brands and Somatoxtea was one that I had never tried so I was very excited when I received the product. With this product you get 14 day skinnytox tea bags and 7 night time ones, as you can imagine, you drink the day time ones every morning for 2 weeks and then the night time ones are every other night.

(£21.99)

The ingredients for the morning tea is: Goji Berry, Garcinia Cambogia, Senna Leaf, Lotus Leaf, Pu' erh Tea Leaf, Burdock Root, Sencha Green Tea and Lemongrass.

The ingredients for the evening tea are: Senna Leaf, Roselle (Habiscus), Liquorice Root, Chamomile, Lotus Leaf, Fennel Seed, Rhubarb Root and Peppermint Leaf.

I'm not going to lie and say that this tastes nice because the taste isn't good at all but the taste is definitely enough to put up with in order to loose weight in such an easy way.

I am currently day 3 and night 2 into my weight loss tea and I can already start to feel the difference. With these teabags, I am eating a lot healthier, not snacking but I'm also not exercising other than going on walks with my dogs (the usual).
I do not drink these teabags within a huge mug, I simply find a small cup and use the same cup throughout the detox.

Considering I have only been using these tea bags for a few days, I feel like they are already starting to work to some extent.

(These photographs are from a morning teabag.)

I believe that these teabags are reasonably priced for the job they do and they do not involve any hard work (unless you class putting the kettle on as hard work).

To purchase the tea or any other products by this brand go to : www.somatox.com

I look forward to hopefully uploading a post on my progress with this company and the 14 day skinnytox.

What weight loss teas do you live by? Have you tried somatox before?

15 Things I Wish I Knew Before..

Hello guys...

Growing up is a challenging experience and there are a lot of things I know now that I wish I knew before that could've influenced my life in a different way. If I was told these before then I would be a different person to how I am now so hopefully these influence you now before it's too late.

-Friendships: don't stay in the same friendship group if one friend is being awful to you, in the end that person will more than likely end up with only one friend so don't let them make your life hell now! They do not own you, you are your own person. Surround yourself with people that make you enjoy life.

-School is not the best time of your life: adults tell you that you should enjoy being in school because it'll be the best time of your life and they're wrong. For a lot of people school is the reason for depression and anxiety so live in the now, have fun, don't worry about grades so much.

-Learn to say no: nothing makes you feel more powerful than saying no to someone or something if you don't want to do it, you make your own decisions.

-You don't need to explain yourself: we all have our own opinions on different situations and if someone doesn't agree or questions your decision, you should never have to explain yourself. If you feel like you have to explain yourself to your own friends, they aren't the friends you need in your life.

-Mental Illness: having a mental illness is not something you should be ashamed of, there are more people than you can imagine that also have one. Never feel ashamed about who you are.

-Do what makes you happy: if you want to buy something new or change your hairstyle, DO IT! If it makes you happy then it's completely worth it.

-Social media hurts: one of the main reasons that I am so insecure about myself is due to social media, if I knew before just how much it would wreck my self esteem, I would have never been so invested in it, so limit your use of it before it's too late.

-Sleeping: going to sleep early doesn't make you a "baby", it makes you normal, don't feel that you need to stay up past 11pm because that's what all the "cool kids" are doing, it will exhaust you. You deserve as much sleep as you can get.

-You're beautiful: you were beautiful before the boy or girl you like told you you were and you will be for as long as you live. Compliments do not define you.

-Take a day off: taking a day off from life doesn't make you lazy, it makes you happy. Spending your day in bed watching Netflix will make you a lot more happier than spending a day stressing, take the better option, you won't regret it.

-Don't be embarrassed over something you love: being a crazy fan girl or fan boy isn't embarrasing or crazy at all actually, if you love a sport or a band etc, don't be embarrassed because other people don't like it, if we all had the same interests, the world would be boring.

-Never feel pressured: don't be pressured into doing something you don't want to do, it will only leave you feeling guilty for as long as you can remember. It's not worth it, if you don't feel comfortable doing something then don't do it. End of!

-Girls Rule. Boys Drool- I'm kidding but seriously most of the time that boy or girl that is breaking your heart is not worth it, you deserve so much better than an idiot that has no time for you. Ssomeone is probably craving your attention whilst your attention is focused on that loser.

-We all have down days: you may feel like you just don't want to socialise or make any form of movement at all one day, this has happened to me a lot and I thought there was something wrong with me but there's not, it's completely normal to not want to do a thing at all, it'll make you feel better in the long run.

-Dance like nobodies watching: always have fun in every situation, no one remembers the boring events from their life so have fun every day.

I hope that these steps were somewhat useful to do because I know I wish I knew this before I turned 18 and had endless sleepless nights of worrying and fake friends in my life.

Let me know if there's anything you wish you knew before or if these steps have helped you to realise  something you didn't realise earlier...

Loosing Weight Healthier...

Hello guys...

I am aware that many people struggle with their weight or struggle mainting their weight due to their lifestyle and how they go about their day, one thing that I have realised over the years is that excersise is just not for me, I do not enjoy it one bit. No matter how much I wish I did enjoy it, I never will so I refuse to put myself through it. A lot of people do enjoy excersising or being out being active which is very healthy and will cause a great impact if you are trying to loose or maintain your weight as long as you are keeping it to the correct and healthy amount that you should be. Don't over do it, this could seriously affect you! Please don't put yourself through harm at any point during the process that you are undergoing.
Dieting is another form of weight loss that can be annoying and tiring because no matter what you do you're either not eating enough, not loosing the weight you want or becoming emotional because you're missing out foods such as chocolate (we all need chocolate and sugar in our diet at least some where.) I find that cutting food down to smaller portions and not snacking is a much more better and healthier process. This way you aren't cutting meals and you're filling up on proper foods. Having at least one small sugary snack throughout your day will not affect you as much as eating huge portions. Your body needs at least a fragment of sugar to cooperate throughout the day.
I have found that herbal teabags are one of the best ways to help loose or maintain weight. One of the best types of herbal teabags that I have used is Bootea. I bought a box around Christmas time in order to help me maintain and hopefully loose weight throughout the Christmas period, I wasn't dieting as much during the season or exercising but by using these teabags, I was able to still drop a few pounds and you can really see the difference. It made me feel good about myself. With it almost being Summer, I think that herbal teabags are worth having a go at. However some individuals do get a bad stomach from using these teabags which I would advise you not to use if you suffer from this problem already.
Dieting pills may be a solution that you enjoy using and feel like they are working. However, a few individuals have now died from taking an overdose of dieting pills, so please try and stay away from them for your own safety.

I hope that these suggestions have helped you to loose weight in a healthy way. If you have any questions, feel free to email me or leave a comment.
