Demi Lovato Tell Me You Love Me Album Review

I have been listening to Demi Lovato, Tell Me You Love Me Album on repeat for about sixth month now. It has comforted me when life feels bleak and has helped me feel strong when I need too. Demi's voice is powerful throughout and the lyrics are so beautifully written. The album has a great mix of dance songs and power ballads. I am not claiming to be knowledgeable about music but I would like to discuss my favourite songs on the album and how they have helped me with my anxiety and depression.

Tell Me You Love Me

This song is a true power ballad with meaningful lyrics backed by Demi's powerful voice. "Tell me you love me, I need someone" shows a vulnerability which I can relate to. In my low moments feeling love gives me hope. "Everything I need. Is standing right in front of me; I know that everything will be alright, alright" reminds me that I have my partner, my home, my family and that everything will be ok in the long run!

Cry Baby

If I could sing this would be the song I would love to sing! The lyrics along with a rock edge helps me to feel powerful and strong on days when I just want to curl up into a ball."Cause every time I start tripping, slipping then I'm falling too deep; stuck in a bad dream", for me this describes the battle with depression and anxiety. Sometimes you have a bad day and sometimes you have a bad week which can seem never-ending. Sometimes it feels like I am actually falling and can't see a way out.

You Don't Do It For Me Anymore and Only Forever

Her voice in both these songs is just mind-blowingly amazing! Whenever I feel anxious these are the first songs I will listen to her. Her soft yet powerful voice helps me to calm down and feel in control. Allowing me to hold my head high and continue on.

Games

This song is used to pump myself up on those days when I feel defeated before I have even left the house or just when I have challenged that day (such as a presentation at work). I know the song is talking about games in dating but I can also relate it to the game of life. "Two can play this game" helps to remind me I am not a passive participant in life. I can take control of a situation and learn from previous experience.

Daddy Issues

I just love to dance to this one! Simple as that!

Love,

Food Friday's LSE Garrick Cafe

Every Friday, I treat myself to lunch out. Not only do I get to explore different places to eat but also it's nice to get outside on my lunch break. So, I wanted to do a weekly post about where I eat and what I eat. Today I went to eat at LSE Garrick Café. I have gone here a few times as it is often quieter than other parts cafes in London. LSE Garrick cafe as you would suspect is popular with students but is open to the general public. They offer delicious salads, gluten free cakes, cakes, pastries and teas. The café has large windows which not only make the place light and airy but also makes the perfect spot for people watching! A guilty pleasure of mine. I had planned to walk around afterwards but sadly it was chucking it down with rain. Today I had a: Sweet Chilli Salmon Salad, Gluten Free Bakewell Cake Slice and a Peppermint tea. Costs: £8:20 Where is your favourite place to eat and what do you have? Love, E.x

Advice to University Freshers Students

Congratulations to those who have received your A-Level result today. You made it! I hope you achieved what you wanted. If not you should still be proud of what you achieved as you worked incredibly hard. Though it sounds cheesy, it is true that everything happens for a reason, even if you can't see that reason now. I still remember my A-level results day. I didn't sleep at all the night before as I was so nervous! I got the grades to get into my first choice University, I was thrilled. Being the only one awake in my house, I ran upstairs to my Mum who was asleep in bed and woke her up to tell her! Then sat on her bed crying tears of happiness and relief. Before I get started on my advice for Freshers, I wanted to highlight that University is not the only option in life. Some people flourish better in a work environment than they do in an academic environment. Research all your options and do what feels right for you. I know schools, a least from my experience and th...

The Low Maintenance Girl: Morning and Evening Skincare Routine

Welcome to part two of my first trilogy, The Low Maintenance Girl (yay!). Don't forget to check out part one for my low maintenance haircare routine . Here is my simple yet effective skincare routine for the low maintenance girl. I would describe my skin as a combination with the occasional hormonal breakout. All I want is clear skin! In the morning I use No7 Beautiful Skin Foaming Cleanser and my No7 facial brush. The cleanser is liquid in the bottle and comes out as a foam which can only be explained by magic! I move the facial brush over my face in circular motions. Before washing off the cleanser with a flannel soaked in warm water. This leaves my skin feeling fresh, soft and removes any excess oils. I then finish with Nivea Daily Essentials Rich Moisturising Day cream which has a light fragrance, sinks in quickly (I can almost feel my skin drinking up the hydrating goodness) and has SPF 15 to protect my skin from the sun. In the evening ...
