How to deal with annoying people :)

Hey everyone :) So recently I've been so busy with my new YouTube channel and very busy socially! I can't really complain, however, I have had some small issues the past week dealing with interfering/annoying people, its been dramatic to say the least :) but I got over it :) I said I'd write this blog to help some people cope if you ever have this problem yourselves :D remember, never panic!

 Ever faced people who are annoying and '#*$#' stirrers :P  You feel like they do little things just to annoy you? Of course you have!  I’m sure everyone faces such people in their life at some stage. It’s okay when we have to face them just once or twice, but sometimes we might have to deal with them repeatedly, which can be so annoying, right? They could be classmates, somebody you work with or  your boss, family, friends, ex boy/girlfriends or your partners ex’s. In such cases, we have to learn how to deal with them :)

One of the most important things I have learned is not to debate with them, leave them be! Whatever you say, they can find 10 different reasons to back up whatever reason they have for annoying you. The discussion will just become negative, and you will just be giving into their need for arguments.

Be clear on what you will tolerate and not tolerate and make sure you stick with it. You have your own personal space and it’s your up to you to protect it. By drawing the boundaries, even if just mentally, you are clearer of the kind of behaviors to expect from others. If you don’t do so, it’s easy for you to be pushed over by others, especially since such people tend not to be conscious of personal boundaries. You’ll end up feeling intimidated and shrinking in a corner, feeling miserable…nobody wants that!  

I know it is easier said than done but to ignore them is one of the best things you can do. When you reply to them, you give them something to continue with. If you just ignore, they don’t have a choice but to ignore you and move on. This is what I did and I'm fine :) It's just about not giving in to their pettiness.

Most important of all, get on with life as if none of this happened :) When a person tries to bring you down, it just means you are obviously above them! Unless they are thick headed they will most likely leave you alone when you ignore them :) You should take it as a compliment, that somebody is so affected by how great your life is they want to ruin it :) 

Hope y'all took some advice from this and it helps you with whatever problematic person you are dealing with :) :P It certainly helped me! ;) 

Until next time :)

Summer saviours :)

Heyyy everybody!! :) hope your all having an amazing summer like I am! :) The weather here in Ireland has been fab this past week, reaching 30 degrees some days! So who needs a holiday when you can just step outside! :D 

home :)

The only downside to this weather, is that you have to take extra care of your body, because the suns powerful rays can take their toll on your skin and hair! :)

So in this blog I'm just going to suggest some products to protect you during the season :) 

First of course, I suggest a high factor sun lotion and after sun cream. The one I find the best is Hawaiian Tropic factor 20 :) It actually works! :P Bonus is it smells amazing too like you've just stepped off the plane to a sunny country! 

Where I live is in the west of Ireland, in a very rural part, where most people live on farms. Because I'm in the country alot, especially during this weather I notice I get a tonne of insect bites or nettle stings, even just from lying out on the lawn. What I recommend to help this is a cream called Anthisan :) Sometimes I even react to these and it can swell up and be extremely irritating :( But anthisan really cools it down and I notice an improvement almost immediately! :)

Just as you need SPF protection for your body, you will also need it for your lips! :) The best I find is Badger lip balm :) It's unscented, protects your lips from the sun as well as dehydration! It's even water resistant so you can go for a swim while wearing it! It's also completely organic, so you can relax your conscience about added chemicals and such :)

To protect your hair, especially from chlorine in the pool or ocean water, you should wash your hair before you go for a swim. Dry hair is extremely absorbent and can pick up chemicals etc like a sponge, at least if your hair is wet already it provides a layer to protect. I know it's a bit late to say it nearing the end of the season, but if your planning on cutting your hair do it before summer, or at least wait until mid-end of august. If your hair is damaged at the ends, the heat from the sun will only exaggerate your problem, so even if you wait until August, you can get it treated by your hairdresser and even use some conditioning treatment to repair it! If your on a budget try a homemade hair mask, I personally like the Honey and Olive Oil hair mask :)

To make this you will need: 1/4 cup of honey

                                          1/4 cup of olive oil, coconut oil can also be used :)

First heat the honey for a few seconds on your cooker, after turning it off add the olive oil and stir it well. Allow the mixture to cool at room temperature. Apply it to the hair and scalp gently using your fingers, then wrap both your hair and scalp in a warm towel. To warm the towel all you need to do is dip the towel in warm water and rinse off excess water. Leave to settle for half an hour. When it is ready, remove the towel and wash out using shampoo. This mask is best suited to dry hair, which is perfect for the summer :) 

One other tip I have, is make sure that you hydrate! Hydrate Hydrate Hydrate! Carry a bottle of water with you everywhere even if it's just driving to the shop to get food, keeping hydrated will prevent sunstroke and keep the body nourished and cool. 

Ok everyone, until next time!! :D 

Thanks for reading :)

To dye or not to dye?

Hey everyone, so for my latest blog I would actually like to ask you all a question :D

What do you think of the hair craze that is dip dying?

Don't think I could go this crazy? :/

I have to say It took a while for me to like it, but it grew on me and now I am obsessed with the idea of having it done!

I have seen dip dying in lots of colours, not just blonde. Ranging from blues to reds, even pink! But personally I think I'll stick with the colour blonde, or light brown. 

I want a colour that suits my hair, (I'm a dark brunette :) ) and I would love to know what length would suit also, I have medium to long hair :) Price is also an issue :(

My hair at the moment :)

Any advice would be amazing :) feel free to email me slowdowntommy@gmail.com or leave a comment down below :) 

Thaaaaanks guys :)
