3 Ways to Be More Positive

Hey Guys! I haven't posted in a while I know....I am working on it. :) So today I decided to give you some tips on how to be more positive. I had a pretty stressful week socially and academically. I had a test every day of last week (except for Monday) and 2 tests on Friday! I also might make a series on this so yeah. Anyhoo lets get into the post.


1. POSITIVE AFFIRMATIONS

Everyday look at yourself in the mirror and tell yourself you can do it! It feels kind of weird at first, but trust me its really helpful. Sometimes when I have a test or something I am nervous about I tell myself that I am ready. Somehow just saying the words helps me feel calmer.

2. MUSIC

I found on days I am feeling really negative or just kind of blah I like listening to some upbeat music and remember some happy memories. Oh and have a dance party. maybe 2. hehe....

3. PLAN/GOAL

I don't know if its just me but when I am stressed I like to make a plan to reach what I want. Like for example if its Monday and I have a test on Friday which I am nervous about, I would make a study plan. Or if I had a fight with a friend, I would make a plan to apologize or talk about it.



What do you do when you have a stressful week? How do you stay positive? This question is kind of unrelated, Do you use a planner or a bullet journal?

How to Relax After School

Hey, Guys! Long time no see! Sorry, I have been really disorganized and unproductive these past weeks. How was your Halloween? I went as a devil. I have been testing out NaNoWriMo and it's been really fun! I am doing the young writer's program version because I am under 13. I have been having trouble getting my story along because I didn't plot in advance...hehe.  Anyhoo that's enough about me, let's get into the post!


How to Relax After School


School can be really stressful, and it's nice to unwind after a long day of school.



DANCE PARTY



Have a dance party! I like having dance parties after doing my homework as a celebration. They can be as short as 5 minutes to as long as 20. When you dance it reduces stress, and you're getting exercise done! Some songs I love dancing to are Closer by The Chainsmokers, I AM OBSESSED! and Sit Still Look Pretty by Daya.



MOVEMENT



When you do exercise, it releases endorphins which send a message to your brain to make you happy. I think exercise is boring. So for a person who doesn't like exercising much, I suggest that you have a dance party, or go for a walk. If you feel kind of stiff, doing a couple stretches can help. You should try yoga which is basically stretches, but they are really fun. If you look up simple yoga stretches you can find some really easy ones.



TAKE A SHOWER



I usually take a shower in the mornings but when I am feeling really stressed out I take one after I come home from school. When I feel stressed, I like to think that the water is washing all my worries away and I feel really refreshed and relaxed when I'm out. Showers will help you feel better.



CHANGE YOUR CLOTHES



Sometimes when you are wearing your school clothes, it can make you feel kind of stiff and not comfortable. So when you get home, after you eat something, it's nice to change your clothes, so you can feel more comfortable when you are doing your homework.

DIY Cat Costume

Hey Guys! Sorry for posting one day late :( I have decided from now on I will be posting on Fridays! This week I am going to show you how to make a DIY cat costume for Halloween. It's cute, affordable and easy! And here's the bonus! With this costume you can make different types of cats! You just need to change some things for the costume! Read on to find out more...

PART 1: CLOTHES

I will be showing you how to make two different types of cat costumes. Both of them are really easy. For the Cheetah costume the clothes you will need are cheetah tights or leggings and a cheetah print shirt or black shirt.

For a black cat you just need a black tshirt and leggings/tights.

PART 2: ACCESSORIES

For Accessories lets first start with makeup. I am not allowed to wear makeup but my parents let me wear a little for halloween to go with my costume. So for makeup you could do cat eyes or winged eyeliner and then make some whiskers and nose with face paint.

Another accessory which would be really cute is a cat ears headband

Some other accessories could be black shoes, and you can buy or make a tail. 

Have a wonderful weekend! What are you going to be for Halloween? What do you think of my new signature for October?

Imperfect Me

Hey Guys! Today I wanted to share a poem with you guys that I read at school. It is called
Imperfect Me.  I hope you enjoy!

Imperfect Me

by Brod Bagert 

I used to try to be perfect:  

Perfect height, perfect weight, 

A perfect friend, the perfect date. 

Perfect makeup on my face 

 Every hair in perfect place. 

The perfect mask for all to see, 

I tried to be a perfect me. 

But I couldn’t do it:

I’m short and just a little plump, 

My nose has got a tiny bump,

My teeth? Too big. My ears? Too long. The me I see is always wrong.

I felt such animosity,

My life was an atrocity.

 But then I wised up: Perfect looks? A total scam!

Perfection lies in who I am. T

his girl has got one life to live 

And who I am is what I give,

And if I give with all my might 

The me I give will be just right.

And suddenly my heart broke free So here I am

—Imperfect Me. 

So what do you guys think? Do you like the poem? When I read this at school I really wanted to share with you guys beacuse it made me think differently about myself. Does this poem change you emotionally?

Middle School Experience

Hey Guys! Sorry I've been taking a super long blog break. I have been adjusting to school and stuff, but I am planning some posts for this week. This is also a collab post with Nabila from Hot Town Cool Girl, so make sure to go check her post out! I hope you like it!

1 week before

OH MY GOSH! It's the LAST week of summer! No way! Didn't it start like a week ago? I feel like I'm forgetting something....*thinking* Oh right! OH NO, MIDDLE SCHOOOOL! I can't believe it's starting! It feels like just yesterday when I was in 1st grade just dreaming about my locker. *thinking about 1st grade* Oh I how much I miss 1st grade *sigh* But I have some new adventures ahead of me! *acts confident* Nope, I can't do this! What if have no friends? What if my teachers don't like me? WHAT IF THERE IS NO RECESS????? Well, I guess I am about to find out.

1st Week of school

It's not that bad I guess...it's little hard making friends but everyone seems really nice, the teachers are pretty funny and helpful....BUT THERE IS NO RECESSSSSS! WHYYYY! I guess I'm going to have to get used to it *sigh* I do like having art as my elective, though! It's so much fun! Sometimes it's hard to get to class on time from my locker, but my locker neighbors are really nice. I am liking middle school overall...

1 week after

I am so happy to have memorized my schedule and locker combination! Sometimes I feel kind of lonely but I have made some nice friends and I really like middle school! I think it's going to be a pretty awesome experience!

Did you like it? How is your school going so far? Make sure to go check Nabila's post out!

Book Review: When You Reach Me

Hey, Guys! Today I am posting my first book review *squee!*! I hope you like it! Let's get into it!

When You Reach Me 

By Rebecca Stead

 via

       This book is about a girl named Miranda and mystery notes which are asking her to write a letter and it tells her other confusing things. But as her life goes on things start clicking in. The person who is writing the notes knows the future! But how? Along the way, Miranda makes new friends, realizes new things, and has a crazy but wonderful adventure!

I tried to make my own book blurb for the book, did you like it?

Anyway, what I really liked about this book was it was really hooking, and I didn't want to stop reading it. The author really brings you into the mystery and makes you feel as if you are there with Miranda and wonder about all things happening.

I know the saying is "Don't judge a book by its cover" But I have to say, the books cover is really nice.

One thing I felt though is that the book got a little confusing for me at one part, but I liked the mystery overall.

I rate this book 4 hearts

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

I hope you liked my review!

Do you think I should do more reviews? I am starting Middle School on Monday and I am nervous + excited! What grade are you in? Are you excited for school?
