Advice Tuesday (slightly late) - Physical Appearance

Hello everybody!
I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while, I have been rather busy!
I also apologise that this post is a day late but enjoy!

I know that many people do not like their appearance - I cannot truthfully say that I know anyone that is completely comfortable with how they look. Everyone has different body shapes which suit them!
The worst thing you can do is compare yourself to others. I know that this can be quite difficult as I do it all the time, but the best way to help you feel comfortable in your body is by finding clothes that suit your body shape. I am quite thin and tall so I prefer to wear slightly oversized clothing because I feel that it suits me better and doesn't make me look so out of proportion. Everyone is different so if you are reading this and thinking "I'm also tall and thin but I like to wear tighter clothes", good for you! I would love to have the confidence to do that but I just haven't quite got there yet!
Try to accept your body because it is a part of you!

I hope this helped you all! If you have any suggestions for next week, comment below! Also, if you have any questions on this topic feel free to ask!
Love, Ellie.

Advice Tuesday - Braces

Hello everybody!
I'm sorry I haven't posted in such a long time; I have been very busy recently.
As you can see by the title, I have decided to start up something new called "Advice Tuesday". Every Tuesday I will make a post giving you advice on something. You can request advice posts in the comments below - it would really help me out!
Today I will give you some advice on braces!
I have braces which I really despise but it is just something I will have to live with while I have them.
When choosing the colour for your braces, try to pick a nice colour that will suit you - and try to avoid browns, yellows, oranges, and black. I usually have blue braces which I don't think look too bad (I hope!).
You also must keep them clean! Nobody want to have yellow squares on their teeth when they have their braces taken off! So make sure you brush your teeth at least 2 times a day and get rid of all food that may have got stuck in there.
If you are feeling self-conscious of your braces, don't worry! Everyone goes through that stage. When I first had my braces put on I was really worried about what people would think of them but most people didn't even notice! Don't try to hide them away by not smiling because that will just draw people's attention to them - EMBRACE YOUR BRACE! *good pun?*
If you have any more questions about braces, please leave a comment below and I will reply as soon as I see it! Also, please comment letting me know what you would like advice on next week!
Love, Ellie.
