It's Finals Time!

It's Finals Time!

It's that time of the year again.. (well at least for Americans). The Finals for the 1st semester has begun! The horrid all nighter's and crazy cravings has made you break out all over you face!

Tips to fight cravings:
*Rather than gum suck on HARD candy .. anything from cough drops to mints. (gum makes the body thinks it's taking in food. there fore making you more hungry)


*Take in 5 small meals a day rather than 3 large ones.


*Take in a good amount of sleep. Not getting enough sleep actually increases your hunger and appetite


*Takes in small amount of nuts or non-fat dairy. They are good for a energy boost !


*stay away from sugar.


*When you eat. Eat slowly even if your extremely hungry, eating fast makes it easier for you to over eat.








Breaking Out:
Acne conquered face during final huh? Theses acne could be cause by a lot of things; lack of facial care, stress, not enough time to cook so you eat fast food, getting sick etc.

THINGS YOU CAN DO:


*start taking multi-vitamins. It'll help keep you strong and healthy


*Takes breaks every now or then. (do something like going for a walk)


*spot treatments for you acne


*before you study why not put on a mask? That way your killing two birds with one stone (suggetion: aspring mask or a white tea mask)


*Get enough sleep. Sleep depravvation -> stress -> acne


* Try taking it one step at a time. meaning...: think about what you have today before rusing off to tomorrow. chances are you going to freak your self out from all the test. =D


*if you are in a rush in the morning; rather than whipping out your facial wash, try washing your wash with a wash cloth instead and save your facial washes for the night. (something to look forward to when coming home)


*moisturize! there is no substitute for it! Change to oil free during finals week (or how ever long it is)


*eat home cook meals. (even a salad with ranch dressing is much healthier than mcdonals!)









Tips for taking the test:

*relax... relax... relax... it's going to be over soon =D


*skip over question, don't spend to much time on one! (chances are teacher incorporate question that corresponds with the question you didn't get!)


*Bite on mints: they help you thinks


*eliminate stupid answers




Enjoy and good luck!
