DIY Mind/Mindful Ja

Hello Everyone!

Today I'm going to be showing you how to make a mind jar. These are especially good for people that suffer with anxiety, it is a form of meditation that keeps your brain occupied when you are feeling stressed or anxious. The idea of this jar is that you shake it and all of the pieces of glitter are your stressed out mind and you then watch all the glitter settle at the bottom of the jar which helps to relax you and bring you back to your normal state of mind.

You Will Need:

-Glitter Glue (you can use clear pva glue but I didn't have any)

-Hot Water

-Jar

-Glitter

-Spoon

-Food Colouring (optional)

Step 1:

Fill up your jar half way with the hot water, the hot water will help the glitter glue (or pva glue) melt and combine with the other materials.

Step 2: Pour all of your glitter glue into the jar, you will need quite a lot to make sure that the glitter doesn't settle too quickly

Step 3: Stir all of your glitter until all have the lumps have disappeared, I loved how the blue, pink and purple glitter looked but the consistency wasn't thick enough so I had to add some red glitter which I don't like as much but oh well.

Step 4: Add some loose glitter to give the jar more sparkle, this will also help to thicken the consistency which will make the glitter settle a bit slower I am using Magpie Beauty's glitter which is actually for your nails but I love the colours so much that I threw a bit into the jar too.

Step 5:Stir the contents again and that's it, all you need to do now is put the lid on, shake and enjoy!

My New Years Resolutions 2016!

Hello My Lovely's

Happy New Year!! i hope you all have a fantastic 2016!

Now what better way to kick off the new year than to tell you guys my new years resolutions.

lets get straight into it... number 1 is to lose weight. I know I'ts so cliche but I do genuinely want to lose. I've always been a bit on the chubby side and now this year I really want to change that! I'm going to try my best to eat healthier and cut out the crisps and chocolate.

Number 2 is to blog more! I've been really slacking with blogging because like I said in my last post, I just got a full time job and I'm finding it hard to find some spare but this year I'm going to make my mission to get back into it because I love blogging.

Number 3 is to care less about what other people think of me and just enjoy life by living it how I want to live it without being worried about others judging me for my decisions which brings me to my next resolution...

Number 4 To get my anxiety under control. I have suffered with social anxiety for as long as I can remember which makes doing day to day mundane activities such as paying for things at a till or communicating with strangers very difficult. I also don't like being in situations where I feel trapped like a train or a lift (even more so if a stranger is involved too) So this year I want to give my anxiety a run for its money!

Number 5 is to save money and shop less for things I don't really need, I am dreadful at saving money if there's something I really want and I have money in my account I'm buying it, this is getting really out of hand so its time I put my foot down and stop myself buying crap I don't need otherwise I'm going to be skint for the rest of my life and nobody wants that do they?!

Number 6 is learn how to drive... I'm nearly 20 years old and i still can't drive, part of this probably comes down to the anxiety and the thought of being stuck in a car with a stranger, but if I don't do it now I never will so I'm going to have to suck it up and just do it.

And lastly number 7 is to be happier in my own skin and I know I said I want to lose weight but that improves my health so that doesn't count lol. I just mean in the sense that I need to stop comparing myself to others and just be happier being me and just accept that fact that i don't have the nicest lips, I may have a piggy nose or wide hips but that's what makes me, me and this is the only body I have so I need to learn to love it. I think this is so important because if you're not happy with yourself then you never will be truly happy, so embrace the different or the weird, that's what gives you character and originality, this world would be such a boring place if everyone was perfect so just think you are that sparkling piece of originality that stops the world being boring! So just embrace your insecurities and own it and if anyone tries to tell you different then just put them in their place and explain that you love your body! rant over haha.

That's all of my New Years Resolutions, whether I stick to them or not is a different story haha, please feel free to comment your resolutions below as well as any future post requests, I would love to hear form you!!!

Thank you so much for reading :) <3
