Advice to my younger self

Have you ever thought back to your teenage years or been tagged in an embarassing photo from forever ago that just makes you cringe? For me this is basically an everyday occurance; I often question my mum as to why she let me do half of the things I did to which she just shrugs. So today this post will be a few things i'd tell my younger self or some things I wish someone had told me at that age! 

1. If eyeliner isn't going well, take it off and start again. I was terrible at liquid eyeliner to begin with and more often than not I would just go over any mistakes which would by the time I was finished make me look like a Panda. Not such a good look, unless it's Halloween of course. 

2. Think about the colours of bands to get on my braces beforehand. Especially in my teens my favourite colour was yellow and I had traintrack braces with bands. Not a good combination! The month I had yellow bands felt like a lifetime! 

3. It's not about quantity, it's about quality. During my school years I had quite a few fake friends who were there just for the good times. I learned over time that not all friends will he there when you need them. 

4. Realise what you are at school for. Although I didn't get the worst results in school, I feel I could have done better if I actualy put the effort in instead of being more interested in going out with my friends. 

5. As cliché as it sounds but just have been myself. Pretty self explanitory but sometimes I would just follow the crowd even if I didn't particularly like it. 

Hope you enjoyed this post, what would you tell your younger self?
