My tips on dealing with anxiety ❤

My tips on dealing with anxiety. ❤

Just a couple of month ago, I was diagnosed with social anxiety. I had a lot of anxiety attacks and even panic attacks sometimes, so I decided to take a trip to the doctors, hoping there would be something that they can help me with. My doctor did what they would, prescribed me medicine. Quite frankly, I was very scared to take those medicine, because the side effects were worse than the help.  I decided not to take any medicine, and try and help myself through this anxiety. These are the few things I do when I get an anxiety attack:1. I put on my headphones and listen to acoustic music. I find the indie music works best here.2. I also close of from all the social media, turn off my laptop and my phone, and just isolate myself. I lay down on my bed,and just listen to music3. If you feel like crying, do cry. Crying helps a lot, it makes the burden feel less, and it makes you feel relief.4. Sometimes, it is that your sugar levels are down, which usually causes anxiety, just have a bar of chocolate or an apple to boost some energy, which will make you feel better. 5. Using apps for meditation or apps like Pacifica, can help you keep a dairy, and help you to feel relaxed. 6. If there are negative thoughts in your mind, just find something to keep you occupied.

7. Telling people helps as well. When I am feeling very anxious, I tell someone, like my mum or my best friend. Talking it out always helps me realise how stupid my worry is. 8. I have a mirror, where I have put a lot of happy quotes. When I get anxious, I go over to that mirror and randomly read some quotes. 9. Try meditation. Meditation is one thing that really calms your mind and helps you to feel at peace. 10. Light a scented candle. I don't know what is it about candles, that make me feel calm. Especially if you buy seaside candles, their smell is very calming. I hope these tips have helped anyone that suffers from anxiety. Anxiety attacks are a struggle, they make you feel like you worth nothing. All you need to remember that it is all a mind game, it is our own brain that is making us feel that way. It is on us how we let it control us. We can beat anxiety together!

My Travel Essentials ♥

My Travel Essential ♥

Hello guys!

I am off to Pakistan soon for the next two months and I thought I would share some of my travel essentials that I am bringing for the airport! My flight is more than 18 hours, so to stay fresh and clean as possible these are the things I am taking with me in a zip bag!





Collection Super Size Fat Lash Mascara ♥

First of all, Because it is an 18 hour flight, I am not going to be wearing any face makeup on my face. BUT, I will definitely bring my trustee mascara by Collection in my zip bag. It was only €3.99 from boots. I love this mascara, and this is the third time I have purchased this baby. I don't think I will be changing this mascara anytime soon! ♥




Soap and Glory - The Righteous Butter Body Lotion. ♥

This is my first ever Soap and Glory product, I have to say, that I am really impressed. Although I have not tried this body lotion a lot, so I can't give a full review. But so far, it has been very good, leaving my skin very soft. It smells amazing too! ♥



Boots Essential Cleansing Wipes ♥

My skin tends to get very dry through out the day, and also, there is no way I can do my face cleaning routine at the airport. So to keep my face hydrated, I will definitely be using these wipes to keep my face hydrated. ♥


Justin Bieber Girlfriend mini perfume ♥

I got the Justin Bieber perfume set on my last birthday, which had A perfume, a glitter body lotion and a mini roll on perfume bottle. I had the use of the perfume bottle and I had also fairly used up my glitter body lotion as well. I didn't have any use of this until now. I guess I can just roll some on the sides of my neck and on my wrist, so I smell fantastic! ♥


So...? Kiss me Mini Perfume ♥

I seem to have endless supply of these perfumes in my house. It is either because they go on a sale so often that my mum just needs to buy them or I get so many of these as birthday presents. I NEVER use them though! I hate the smell of these, they are very strong and every spritz makes me cough. Even though all these things are wrong with this perfume, It does last long. I quite frankly didn't want to spend few euros to buy a good perfume so I guess this will suffice. ♥


Batiste Dry Shampoo ♥

My best friend. My hair tend to get very greasy on everyday basis, which leads me to use dry shampoo on a daily basis. With 18 hours flight in a stuff plane, I am going to get more than just greasy hair! And of course, I can't shampoo my hair on the flight, so I might as well take my savior with me! ♥



Colgate Total Toothpaste ♥

Another essential of course! Because the flight is overnight, I thought it was smart to bring some tooth brush and paste with me, for well oral hygiene! ♥



So this is how my travel bag looks like right now! I hope everyone is having a great summer! If you are travelling I hope you all have a safe flight!

See you next Saturday for another beauty blogpost!

Until then you can enjoy my 30 day Blog Challenge ♥

With Love,

Day 27 - 3 songs that put you in a good mood.❤

Hey guys

So music is one of the things that I cherish and love the most. It is one thing in my life that can't be replaced. Especially these three songs which have been by my side for few years now. 

I hate you, don't leave me - Demi Lovato ❤

Demi has always been my go to singer, as far as I can remember. When she came out with this song, I have a heard of it. This song just matched my condition during that year, and it was as if Demi just understood me. This song, til this day, even now that I am not in the same state as I was before, is an amazing song. I always go back to this whenever I am upset. 




All About us - He is We ❤

I don't know what is about this song, but this just makes me happy every time I hear this song. The music video is just super! But God, why did they break up? I loved the band, I had almost every song of theirs on my playlist. 


Always be with you - Walking on Cars ❤

This song is probably the recent one, I am always listen to this song, particularly because of the beats in this song. The song itself is hard to explain why I love this song. It just automatically makes me happier! 



Thank you guys,

See you tomorrow,

love,

Anam
