First Day High: How to look your best on the first day of school x Giveaway



It's already June and you know what that means? It's time to go back to school! Ha Ha Ha! I've graduated from college 8 years ago..hahahaha :D (I'm so old already) but all I can say is that college was one of the best years I enjoyed in my life. It was the first time I met boys, well not really...hahaha :D Let me re-phrase that....it was the first time I had male classmates because I came from an exclusive girl school. I experienced being late in class, cut class (hahaha well, everyone goes through that phase) and I had a taste of the so-called "welcome to the real world rookie."

I'll give you some tips and tricks so that your first day will not be as heavy and bombarded as I experienced it. lol anyways...here is a list of my tips and tricks for you guys:

Prior to your first day of class



1. Prepare the things that you need for class - It is so much of a hassle if you go to school (especially on your first day) if you are not prepared. First impressions last, so make a good impression on your classmates and your professors by being prepared. Professors are forgiving on the first day but you know, your peers may not be. Prepare your essentials like don't forget your wallet, your handkerchief, brush/comb, grooming kit, etc. 


2. Make sure you get ample amount of sleep - Eye bags are your worst enemy and you wouldn't want to have heavy bags during your first day. Make sure to get a lot of sleep the night before your first day of school.


On your first day

1. Remember to eat your breakfast - Breakfast is very important. It's like the gas of the car. If you don't eat your breakfast you won't have energy for the day. Make sure that you eat your breakfast before going to school to have sufficient energy.



2. Bring your Kikay Kit - It's always nice to look fresh and energized throughout the day so bring your Kikay Kit with you. lipstick, lipbalm, pressed powder, cheek blush, handsanitizer, lotion, hair brush and a perfume should be your essentials in your kit. 


3. Keep yourself Hydrated - Drink water all the time to make yourself hydrated. Also make sure that you use the bathroom to flush away the toxins in your body. Water is essential for a nice glow throughout the day. 


4. Bring your Rainy weather essentials - It's already the start of the rainy season so make sure to bring your jackets and umbrellas. If you commute, it's always nice to bring an extra shirt or leggings just in case you get wet while you commute. Back when I was going to school, I used to ride the MRT and the LRT from our house to my school. I always had a folding umbrella with me so that I won't get wet.


5. Smile - A smile is the best asset any girl can have so always remember to smile. It's a bulletproof way to make friends. No one wants to make friends with  Ms. Oscar the Grouch.


With that...to make your first day more memorable (for those who are still studying...that is), I've decided to make my first giveaway! Yey!!

  2. Hi there! Just came across your blog when I searched for MAC Cosmetics review and I love the way you rate each products practicality wise. Anyways, I just had my new job and had been there for two weeks and I can still remember my shaky first day at work. It was in Makati and I came all the way from south that's why it's always a must for me to use makeup products that offers a long lasting effect or as much as possible I opt for a waterproof one. My face tends to get oily at the end of the day and using appropriate product helped me boost my confidence especially with my first day at work. No haggardness at all. First impressions last, least to say :)

    More power to your blog, Bianca! God bless :)
    xoxo, My

  3. I am part of the working class and for first day of work I believe that first impressions last. My essentials are similar to yours: 1. I make sure that I look presentable ie., style my hair, put on light makeup and wear something chic 2. I usually skip breakfast but I don't on days like these. 3. I bring my touch-up kit with me. and lastly, 4. I bring a positive attitude.

    More power to you and your blog!
