Hey there, so this weekend I am going on a road trip to California, with my family for the weekend and I got the idea in my head to make a blog post about cute and trendy outfit ideas + a list on some crucial essentials. During this trip, I plan on taking tons of pictures. So in the mean time, lets get started.

Road Trip Essentials

So first off, it is crucial to bring my phone and laptop along with me, so I can make blog posts and keep track of my Summer Reading. My phone is important, so if I ever get lost you know how that works out. This is practically how my work station look right now in the hotel.

It's always nice to bring snacks and drinks along with you on a road trip, because you don't want to get hungry and stop somewhere. It will take time out of your travel, if you are that determined to reach your destination. I personally prefer to take some fruit and Chex mix. Drink wise, I prefer water or and Arizona Iced Tea.

 

 

Next, I tend to read a lot while on Road Trips. So, I brought with me Great Expectations by Charles Dickens (A summer reading novel) and the recent issue of Teen Vogue magazine. To get comfy, I bring a pillow for the car ride, because who likes to be stuck in a van, full of five people with luggage and a cooler all around you. For me, it can get a little cramped.

  

Hey there, I can't believe it has already been a month since I put up my last post! It's finally nice to talk to you all again and today I would like to give you a few tips and crazy tricks in studying for Finals. Well, some of you might be thinking "Oh, well it's no big deal" and totally blow it off, but depending on how lenient your teacher is, it is crucial to recognize the importance of the grade and how it benefits toward your future. So with out further ado, lets start with some tips in helping you study for finals.

1. Find a Good Spot- Whenever I tend to study, I go for a place that is comfy and yet will be able to keep me awake, because take my bed for example, when studying I get to relaxed and drift off a bit. In turn, I loose focus and can't concentrate. Going to the Library would be a benefit, but sometimes it is hard for me to focus, because I tend to get distracted by the hundreds of books that call to me + there can be many distractions at the library. That is why I sit at my nice kitchen table where I can spread everything out for me to see, plug in my lap top and focus.

 

 

 

2. Try to keep a nice and Stress Free environment- Sometimes this is just impossible, but it can make it easier and not make it as stressful to accidently misplace something.

 

 

3. Stick with a cool playlist- So for me, I usually go on Spotify or Pandora (which ever one you prefer) and look up a studying playlist to keep me distracted from the other distractions around me. Music tends to help me zone out from what's around me and focus more on my work.

 

4. Pick up a healthy snack and drink- I suppose that most people enjoy drinking caffeinated drinks to help them stay awake, but it is known that it can also increase your anxiety levels and that's why water is a good solution. It is not only healthy, but can keep you awake. For a nice snack, I usually nibble on carrot sticks, pretzels, grapes, berries and nuts.

 

1. Chewing gum- It is said that chewing gum or sucking on a mint while studying and doing the same thing while taking a test can increase grade scores, because your brain some way is triggered by the familiarity of what you were doing while studying, which can help you memorize certain details. If that makes sense.

2. Take Breaks- Make sure to take breaks every hour or so and stretch to increase the amount of blood flow to your brain, because I guess that gravity pulls your blood down to the lower part of your body when sitting down for a long period of time, decreasing blood flow to your brain. That's why when you stretch, it can release tension in your body and increase blood circulation.

 

So, that's all for today folks. I am so excited for summer and can't wait to start posting more. Quick question, should I start posting videos on Youtube? Leave me a comment down below and I hope everyone has a spectacular day today and everyday. Bye!!!!!!!!

Stay Originally You,
