Hello! My name’s Megan and today I’m paying a little visit
to Laura’s blog from my own home at
MeganRoisinn. I’ve never done a guest post
before, but I’m really looking forward to this one and (hopefully) I’ve put
enough thought into it!
Laura’s talked on here about confidence issues and being
comfortable with yourself which is something I think we can all sympathise
with. Everyone has their off days when we don’t quite feel up to scratch and
it’s easy to let things get on top of you; however, here I am with a dinky
little list of a few things I like to do when I’m a bit down in the dumps –
enjoy!
1.
Look Your
Best
When you’re feeling low it’s the
easiest thing in the world to go make up and shower less, reflecting how you
feel on the inside. What I always find cheers me up a bit is making myself look
nice in a “Well eff it, if I can’t feel good I can at least look bangin’” kind
of way. This is when I normally reach for my hair mask, face mask, fake tan, nail
varnishes and best beauty products to spruce myself up – normally my insides
follow suit and start being happy too.
2.
Eat
something yummy
Now, a lot of people will reach for the
chocolate here but instead I chose not to specify. When I’m feeling a bit low
and find myself reaching for the sweet stuff I find it’s because it’s what
you’re expected to do rather than I actually want to. It’s much better to munch
on something really tasty and just generally good than to give yourself
a massive sugar rush (smoked salmon always seems to work for me which makes me
sound a lot posher than I actually am…)
3.
Make a
List
Maybe this one is just me, but I find making
lists very therapeutic. Whether it’s a wishlist, a shopping list, or a list of
what you plan on doing when you’re feeling up to it writing lists can help you
feel productive from actually doing basically nothing, getting your mind active
and perking you up a bit.
4.
Organise
something
Now this one seems very daft, but here me
out. You know how nice a complete set of clean make up brushes looks? Those
could be your make up brushes. Do you envy the lovely desks of the bloggers you
follow? Well, you could make yours look like that. Similar to the list making,
this helps you feel productive and gets you doing something and by the end you
have something lovely to look and make you feel better. You can multitask with
this one as well by sticking on your favourite music or film – winner!
I really hope that’ll help some of you out when you have
your next down in the dumps days – let us know what you do to brighten yourself
up!
