How to be productive when you come back from school?

Hi! You are sick of loosing time when you come back from school? Here are tips for you!

1. Don't touch your phone when you come back home
If you don't leave it alone, you will easily lose 10 to 15 minutes procrastinating

2. Prepare yourself some snack to eat while working, it is going to motivate you. Make something healthy, like fruits and a tea (if you want a list of snacks, you can ask in comments)

3. Make a planning, like a to-do list of what you need to do this evening. It is not only going to motivate you but also going to give you a feeling of achievement

November favorites!

Hi! Here I am with my favorites of november.

First, basically everything in the shades burgundi:

This Kiko Milano liquid lipstick, perfect to be classy

That nail polish:

Those high vans

Then come my food favorites:

Green Tea
I'm probably going to make an article specially about green tea, but I find this is a good drink to stay hydrated all day.

Ikea oat cookies. No need of a description.

I didn't look much TV this month, I didn't have a lot of time for it, but there is one tv-show that made me laugh a lot when I needed it: Grace and Frankie. It's on Netflix, if you're wondering. It's athe story of two girls that basically hate each other, but it turns out their husbands are cheating on them for 20 years. And now they are gonna marry each other and they just have to live together. Both of them are really different but it turns out it leads to funny and awkward situation. A must-to-look-at for this month.

I didn't use much makeup either but my mom offered me this cute set of eyeshadow: you can make a lot  of different makeups with it, the shade are stunning and you can easily put it in your bag.

Mirror Mirror review | Cara Delevingne

Hi!

Here is my review about Cara Delevingne new book!

This book tells the story of 4 teenagers who weren't very popular and had not very much self confidence until they decided to form a music band: that was the revelation for them.

• Rose is the cliché of the popular girl: she seems very good at everything, but in reality she got a lot of problems. She is the singer.
• Leo live in an estate in London. His big brother is in jail and used to get him in a lot of trouble. He found self-confindence and the power to be himself, and not his brother with the band. He is the bass player.
• Naomi used to be a weird girl who dress like manga characters. Now she is fine with herself.
• Red is in a lot of trouble: her mother got alcohol problems and her father is never  home. She has to take care of her 7 years old sister.

They were great together, finally dealing with there problems, until Naomi disappears. They find her two weeks later, not in a very good place, in the Thames. What happened to her?

***

I'm a little disputed about this book, I don't really know if I liked it, but the point is, I couldn't stop reading it. I really wanted to know what was gonna happend to all the characters, if Naomi was gonna be alive. I give a 5/5 for the suspense.

It also deals with hard but important topics, like rape, alcohol problems or paedophilia. I think that's a good point cause one the author, Cara Delevingne is an inspiration for a lot of young people: they are gonna read the book because of her, so it's like a good warning for them.

Another good point in this book is that it is turn toward friendship: it's in the center of the story. It shows how people can get better if they have not many, but good friends.

It really felt like a story of teenage. For the writing style, I found it quite easy: you don't have to read five times a sentence to understand the meaning of it like in some books I've read. 

Finally, I think this book fits with the writer's state of mind: it's marked by tolerance and the fact to accept people how they are.

Hope you have enjoyed this review! You can comment it, and subscribe at the front of the article if you don't want to miss anything.
