A Level Limbo


Okay so I wrote this poem a while back and found it today. Now I don't want to have another rant about the education system; you can read my previous one here. 

But I think a point needs to be made about how there has been a drastic rise in teens with mental disorders and something needs to be done about it! 

Don't adults understand that before we turn 19years old the average UK child sits over a whopping 40 or so exams! And we are given the false pretence that if we don't pass we wont do well in life - of course that's going to affect us... and it is not true!

I've recently read that students today have the same anxiety levels as people living in insane asylums in the 1950's, not good for our future is it?!

I do think some institutions are realising that our health is important and are doing things about it, Cheltenham ladies college for example and more should do the same.

Stress among other things is definitely not something that people should shy away from or be embarrassed about; stress is a real thing! 

We need to sort out this system people!!!

For those of you doing exams at the moment I hope you're okay and doing the best you can, whatever you get - be proud of it! 
words to live by?

We're nearly through the exams, WE CAN DO THIS PEOPLE *inserts muscle emoji*

***  Sending positive vibes your way! ***


Good Luck and Stay Excellent

I Want To Read More This Year!!

I want to read more this year! I want to write and I want to create! But mainly I want to read; time completely ran away from me at the end of last year and throughout January. And its definitely a goal this year to find the perfect balance between all the areas I want my life to be thriving on. Unfortunately I'm not blessed with the mental pragmatism of having one passion in life, my mind thrives on the thoughts of eight, if not more, ideas all at once and I've yet to create the perfect plan to work on all of them equally. But this is the year! So future Chantal I hope you're reading this back and thinking to yourself - YES! I did it! I worked it out! Stay Excellent - Chantal DeHaine

Lush Review - Yoga Bath Bomb

Image
I give you the Yoga Bomb!  Step 1: Run a bath  Step 2: Drop bath bomb  Step 3: Watch  Step 3 and a half: Wait for the bomb to dissolve fully  Step 4: Photograph  Step 5: 'Ooohh' at the newly revealed colours  Step 6: Stare at the new glittery colour your bath water has turned  Step 7: 'Oooohh' some more  Step 8: Relax and indulge So this bath bomb wasn't (in my opinion) anything special. Yes the colours were pretty and the glitter was cool, but as for aroma - there was little to none, so I didn't find it anymore relaxing than a normal bath. Well, except the fact that I was bathing in liquid that was a very impressive pigmented orange colour (I did fear I might step out of the bath and have to scrub off the pigment that had attached itself to my skin; luckily this was not the case.).  On first impressions this bath bomb gave the water an immediate sort of slimey feel which thankfully subs...
