Advice I'd give my teenage self

Hey my beautifuls how are you all doing today :)
I am super excited about this post today as its something different and something I suppose in a way personal 
Recently I have seen a few you tube videos titled somewhat like this and I absolutely loved every video.  They actually made me smile and made me think about what I would tell my teenage self if I had the chance. I even thought about doing a blog post at the time and decided mmmmm maybe not until I read one of my favourite magazines 
U Magazine and Irish Magazine I read Every 2 Weeks and this weeks Issue was about one piece of advice you would give your 16 year old self !!!
That was it.  It was like a sign that I had to do this blog post someone or something was telling me that I needed to do it so here goes :)  So instead of giving advice to my 16 year old self I am advising my teenage self as I feel my teenage life the whole way through was somewhat confusing to me and I feel I experienced alot through my whole teenage life.  
So let begin. 
  1. Cleanse, tone and moisturise as its so so important.  
  2. Wear SPF ALL THE TIME when you go out in the sun especially remember the time you wore baby oil on your skin wore black and sat in front of the window to get a tan but fell asleep and nearly got sun stroke learn your lesson from then on as you will experience some more bad burning aswell as damaging your skin !!!!! 
  3. Stop looking in the mirror and trying to find flaws.  Those flabby bits you see are not there !!!!! you are only trying to find them and if you work hard on finding them "you will" even though they are not there.  You are beautiful stop trying to say your not beauty is from the inside and outside you are just as beautiful Those people ont he telly and magazines are not perfect they are airbrushed.  They look just like us in real life trust me they too get spots, they too put up weight, they too hard times!!!!!
  4. Stop trying to please everyone !!!!!! You are only human your cant be anyone else but yourself and you know what THATS WHO YOU SHOULD BE.....YOURSELF!!!!!!! Stop wishing you are someone else after all people will still love you for who YOU are !!!!!
  5. You know the bullies who keep putting you down who keep talking about you and who keep making fun of you????  Well you know what they are actually envying you they are jealous of you because you are smart wise beautiful inside and out and nothing like them !!!!! They get a thrill out of hurting people which is wrong and it will hit them hard in the future because those followers they have at the moment will eventually turn against them AND THEY WILL END UP VERY LONELY AND IN ALOT OF TROUBLE IN THE FUTURE BELIEVE ME 
  6. Love food dont look at it as an enemy after all your body need fuel and without it your are going to get very ill in the future 
  7. TALK ABOUT YOUR TROUBLES you are blocking everyone out and not talking about what is on your mind STOP DOING THAT it will all build up and will make you very very down find someone you trust and talk to them believe me they will not judge you and TALKING DOES HELP
  8. Go with your gutt feeling if something inside tells you not to do this and to do that go with it dont go against it.  
  9. Listen to the sensible adults around you they know what they are talking about !!!!! After all they were teens themselves and they have made mistakes and learned from them so the best advise is from Adult who have learned and done alot in the past 
  10. BOYS!!!! awwww boy will definately come and go and dont rush into relationships have fun with boys but be careful not to make rash decisions for the sake of keeping them and your friends happy!! Remember your body is your own and your want your first time to be special 
  11. Relationships !! They can wait you need to find your path and been in relationships too soon will only get in the way.  Remember unless the man in your life makes your heart beat a thousand beats a minute, you cant sleep thinking about him,  you feel special by the way he treats you, he treats you like a princess, your feel happiest when you are with him you feel free, your feel trusted and your feel you trust him with your life, when you are apart from him your heart aches to be with him again, you want to live the rest of you life with him.   You have eyes for no one else but him and you feel complete with him Thats what real love is all about girlfriend and believe me the love you think you feel in your teens is not the love you will feel in the future and I mean the REAL LOVE 
  12. Dont pressure yourself too much into deciding what you want to do in the future because you are going to change your mind unless its something you feel oh so passionate about that you eat sleep and dream about this career then thats the career for you but dont be disappointed if a couple of years down the line you have a change of heart and want to do something else well then go with that change !!!
  13. Friends:  Always put them first over boys especially boys come and go but friends are there for life !!!!!! treat them as family not as friends and dont worry if you have to part for what ever reason you will see in the future them close family friends will be back in your life and you will feel like you never parted.  
  14. Friends are people who treat you right who treat you like they would want to be treated remember if a friend comes to you and says "dont tell this person i told you this........." well maybe think long and hard about telling them your deepest secrets because they are not to be trusted.  
  15. THIS IS IMPORTANT!!!! ALWAYS TRY AND CHANGE A NEGATIVE FEELING INTO A POSITIVE !! For instance when you are standing in front of that mirror and pointing out the flaws you have try to pick out the nice things you see even if its one a day.  I promise the more you do that the better you will feel about yourself !!!!! Try instead of saying "oh my goodness look at my tummy its wobbling" Say "Wow I really love the way my hair is today" concentrate on that for the rest of the day 
  16. THAT PERFECT GIRL YOU OODLE OVER IN SCHOOL? THE ONE WITH THE PERFECT HAIR, PERFECT SKIN, PERFECT FIGURE PERFECT PERFECT PERFECT!!!!!!! WELL GURRLLLLLL LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING......... NO BODY IN THIS WHOLE ENTIRE WORLD IS PERFECT !!!!!!!!!!! NO BODY !!!!!!!!!!! THAT PERFECT GIRL YOUR WISH YOU WERE WILL NEVER HAPPEN EVERYONE HAS PROBLEMS EVERYONE HAS ISSUES THAT GIRL WHO LOOKS PERFECT ON THE OUTSIDE MIGHT NOT BE PERFECT ON THE INSIDE WHICH IS MORE IMPORTANT. 
  17. You are not going to know what you want to do in the future until much later in your life but thats ok you do not have to decide when you are in school some people dont know what they want to do until they are in their late 20's you will be one of them and NO THATS NOT TOO LATE ITS NEVER TOO LATE !!!! 
  18. PUT THAT TWEEZERS DOWN YOU HAVE NO CLUE HOW TO PLUCK SO PLEASE STOPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!! GO TO SOMEONE WHO KNOWS HOW TO DO IT BECAUSE OVER PLUCKING THOSE EYEBROWS WILL END UP MAKING YOU REGRET IT IN THE FUTURE BELIEVE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  19. Dont make too many plans for the future Live in the now !!!! because making too many plans will only set you up for disappointment and there is no need for it
  20. Speak your mind you will end up doing it in the future and you will see its the best thing and be much happier!!!! you will see that you will get alot more respect for speaking your mind and going with your feelings rather than keeping your mouth shut.
  21. Remember you are beautiful !!!!!!! It doesnt matter what people say people say thing only to hurt you not because its true why you ask.........because they find putting people down subsides how they feel about themselves !!!!! they feel crappy about themselves so they take it out on you !!!!!!!
  22. Talk to people thats the only way you are going to meet people they are not going to bite and believe me you are the type of person people will love to talk to and will love having in their life so stop thinking they are bite you or something 
  23. Things that happen in your life IS NOT YOUR FAULT!!!!!! STOP BLAMING YOURSELF...................But the decisions you make weither they are good or bad are your decisions dont blame it on anyone else but yourself !!!! The only thing you can do is not dwell on it if they are bad decisions and just learn from them.  The bad experience you will experience LEARN FROM THEM BECAUSE THEY WILL MAKE YOU STRONGER TRUST ME !!!!!! 
  24. Wherever the path leads you in life take it and love it after all the days you have a so precious and this path is for you and you only sometime its not what you want but there is always a reason for it
  25. Remember you are just as important as anyone else in this world you can not change and do not change for anyone but yourself at the end of the do people will come and go in your life but you are with you forever 
  26. Oh and one last thing USE MAKEUP AS A BEAUTY ENHANCER NOT A MASK You are beautiful you dont need makeup but if you are to use makeup enjoy it experiment and use it only to enhance your beauty you already have LESS IS MORE

Ok I Think I will stop there before you all fall asleep lol I could go on forever with this one
