De-Stress the Mess that is your head

Earthlings hello,
Since it is getting to summer also known as exam hell that I would do a quick post on tips to de-stress as we all know that your head goes to mush and is pretty much useless for a while. This post of course isn't just for exam doers, you could be having a stressful time at work or whatever is getting you stressed we shall sort it out. 

So as I like to advise before every post, let's get ourselves a cuppa and then continue - why not even add a biscuit to the mix?

1. Sleep
There are two ways in which this could go, you could wake up feeling refreshed and ready to take on the world or you could wake up feeling worse than you did before and just want to hide away from the world. I mean I am not really sure which one would happen but let's just assume it is the first option and then everyone can snooze away happily to Dreamland. 

2. New Hobby
Now I am in no way suggesting that you should just hop on a plane to somewhere hot and go diving with sharks or whatever because that would just be running away from your issues and my, my, my, that would never do. But a hobby that can take your mind off the things in life that are stressing you out, even if it is for just a couple of hours, is definitely better than being in constant stress mode. There's so many affordable hobbies out there so just get yourself on the internet and ask Auntie Google.

3. Exercise
Now I know this sounds so cliché and I am not for one minute going to pretend that I have any clue as to what sort of moves will release the stress from wherever in your body but I do know that after you have exercised you are supposed to feel pretty great about yourself. Hey ho, even if that part fails and you are as unfit as I am there is a high possibility that you will be distracted from your stress levels as your body moves in ways you don't believe it should. But in all seriousness, exercising is a great way to get your mind off things even if it is for just a walk somewhere. 

4. Socialising 
I don't mean just pick your phone up and sending a text to a friend I mean actually leaving the house and meeting your friends and having a good old catch up. I know, leaving the house when you don't need to? How shocking? But sometimes all you need is a catch up with an old friend or a new friend or maybe even a pet to make you feel better and to help you remember that in maybe a years time you won't be stressed and if you are stressed then it is highly unlikely that it will be for the exact same reason. 

5. Treat yourself
This is so important, buy yourself that new dress and that new pair of shoes, book a weekend away to a spa, do whatever you want because then you have maybe that new outfit to look forward to wearing out or that holiday to count down to. Look after yourself, you do have to live in your body for several years so you may as well keep it happy.

Oh and always wake up with positive thoughts... 




That is all for today dears so I hope you have a fab week and the weather is as pleasant as English weather can be.

Phrases I Hate

Hey Earthlings! We all have those phrases or quotes or sometimes just words that when we hear them it makes our blood boil and our neck do that funny thing where you kind of go "bleurghuohui". You know what I mean? I've taken a few of them, listed them here and told you exactly why I hate them. Let me know if there's some more you hate. "There's someone out there worse off than you" Yes, this may be the case and I hope they come out of their situation feeling all the joys of spring but just because there is someone out there with more issues than you're feeling, it does not mean your experiences and feelings are invalid. If you are trying to comfort someone and make them feel better about their situation in what way is, "ah well don't worry, Tina down the road is way worse off than you are" going to make them feel better? EXACTLY. It won't. End of, let's just entirely blow this phrase away. "Respect your elders"...

Goodbye 2018, Hello 2019

Hello Earthbugs! I'm back and hopefully this upcoming year will be a lot better post wise than 2018, if I tell you the truth I don't really know what happened. Quite a few times during 2018 I felt all out of sorts and not really motivated to do anything, which for me is horrible because I thrive off having a goal to get and so on. Writing has always been a passion of mine and my blog allows me to have my own little space on the internet which I have always loved the idea of so 2019 is definitely the year that I attempt to throw myself back into blogging. I hope you're happy to come along on that journey with me! I decided to combine the goodbye 2018 post and hello 2019 post instead of doing separate posts this time, so feel free to grab yourself a cup of tea or something stronger if you like and let's go. 2018. I think I can safely say that 2018 hasn't been the year for my family, we have gone through a lot of battles and hard times and somehow come out of t...

Doris goes to see Captain Marvel | FILM REVIEW

Hello dearies!  I hear the new film that's 'hot on the block' recently is this Captain Marvel one, and little old Doris does like to be hip, trendy and down with the kids *throws the equivalent of a swagger sign* so decided to hop on the bandwagon and go along, booking myself in for the 12.00 (pm just to clarify) showing at the local cinema. I'm currently cutting down on the whole chocolate/cake/biscuits scene, so sneaked a small tub of Pringles into the cinema with me...I have to say, I felt like a bit of a rebel eating food that I'd bought from somewhere else whilst inside the cinema, it was an adrenaline rush! If you're wondering what flavour Pringles they were, I obviously chose the best ones aka sour cream and onion as I'm not some sort of monster.  Anyway, I did buy one of those Tango Ice thingymabobs as I hear that's too what the cool kids like to have at the cinema. I could only have cherry though as the machine wasn't working properly, t...
