Frustrated??

Well dear beloved friends, today I thought I'd share with you something I've learnt through the most recent years of my life. It's a mix of things because my head is a complete mess with a lot of topics that I like to write and talk about and so I can't just talk about one thing at time, as it's all related and I am not very good at separating things and at expressing my thoughts in a direct and clear way, it all gets a bit messy everytime I try to...
So these past 2 years I've been under a lot of changes, pressure, tension, stress, basically everything you could imagine being bad to you. That happened because obviously I started High School and my life got a little bit harder on me... to say the least...
And when I experience things that make me feel rubbish and just turn into an emotional mess I tend to get frustrated. To calm myself down I either eat to over-compensate my sadness and frustration or I get very angry, moody and bossy... when this last case takes place you shouldn't talk to me, you'll regret it! To basically sum it up that is what I do, I let my frustrations out on others. I'm not proud of it and I honestly feel bad after I've calmed down but is something that I do... something I've been trying to stop and my effort has paid off.
I don't know how I managed to control myself, my emotions... If you've come here for help or some tips on how to get better at this particular subject I am very sorry, I can't help with that. One thing I can say to you is that it is possible to change this situation. I think if you try to think positive thoughts you're one step closer to reaching your goal. That will help you control your frustrations and it will make you see things in another perspective... I guess.

That's basically it, I guess I just wanted to share my thoughts on this and my experience. If I'm being honest I just started writting about this because I was frustrated and angry at a situation that happened a few minutes ago. I could've easily let my frustrations out on my mother (because she's the only person that it's home) or I could've gone to the kitchen... but I didn't... I guess this is my way of letting my frustrations out. Creating something, even if it turns out to be nothing special. Taking a negative thing and turning it into something positive! I guess after all I ended up having a piece of advice for you!

So that's it guys! I hope this was somehow helpful or enjoyable. Don't forget to comment and share this post. Also check all my links to find out more about me!

It was great talking to you!
Love,

April Favourites

April was a great month for me, I was on Spring/Easter break so I really got to relax and forget all the things that cause me stress or anxiety. It was a really good month and I really enjoyed it! My break started on the 5th of April and that day I pretty much did nothing, I slept till late and it was very relaxing! My break lasted till the 21st, which was a bit short in my opinion but better to have some days off than nothing... In those 2 weeks I did a few things that put a smile on my face and made me feel really truly happy and blessed about my life... these simple things definitely are a gift and not everyone gets to experience that and I'm very fortunate to be able to do that!

This past month on the 6th I got to go to an incredible concert that I will never forget: the OMG Spring Break Portugal festival. I did a video and wrote a blog post on that so if you've not seen them click here for the video and here for the blog post.
A couple of day earlier I was at the movies and I saw Divergent with a few friends and I must say it was amazing... I can't wait for the 2nd movie!!
Also Coachella happened this month and even though I wasn't there I saw the amazing fashion and it made me feel really happy. I have no idea why, I guess I just really like to see pictures of people wearing amazing clothes!!
On the 25th I had a day off of school because it's a special holiday here in Portugal and myself, my mother and my sister went to see Noah at the movies. It was a great movie and I really enjoyed it all, appart from these annoying kids who were talking and laughing troughout the movie which I don't think is supposed to be funny... oh well!
Other movies that I watched were Disney movies, the child inside of me likes them very much... and no, I'm not pregnant!
I had fun making my own videos for my Youtube channel, it's really fun! Here's a link to my channel in case you wanna check ot out: Carolina Rosalie channel. And as pretty usual I watched a whole lot of Youtube videos and these past month my favourite videos to watch were from these Youtube channels: Zoella, FunForLouis, PointlessBlog, beautycrush, essiebuttonvlogs, BeyondBeautyStar and Meghan Rienks. I think if you watch youtube videos as much as me you already know who all these people are but in case you don't know here are the links to their channels:


In terms of music and websites: I really used Spotify a lot to listen to a large amount of albums but the one I was really addicted to was and still am is Emblem 3's Album "Nothing to Lose". That as to due to the fact that they were at that festival I went to at the beginning of the month. I liked them before the concert but after that I became obsessed... not crazy obsessed like I'm gonna stalk and chase them if I see them, a good and healthy amount of obsession!!! The websites I used pretty much everyday were Tumblr and Pinterest, you gotta love them two sites! If you wanna follow me on either one of them here are the links: Tumblr and Pinterest.
Last but not least are the food favourites. My new favourite thing to eat is jelly! My favourite flavours are peach and strawberrie!! :)
On Easter day I ate a whole lot of brownies with strawberries and ice cream!

Delicious!! :)

And that's it! These were my favourites throughout the month of April! I hope you've enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed writting it! Comment down below some of your favourites of the month of April or anything you want to say.
I'll talk to you soon!

Love,
