Back to School Tips!

Well hello there!!

It has been a while since my first post, but I am back! As you may have guessed, school has started for me and it has already been very busy. I most definitely love school but it is a lot of work and stress. So today I would like to provide you all with my top five back to school tips!

1. Make it fun with school supplies! One of my favorite parts of going back to school is by far school supplies. There is something so amazing about writing in a brightly colored agenda or binder that just makes those first few weeks a little more bearable.
2. Plan something fun! At the end of the week my best friend and I went to go see a super funny movie at a diner movie theater and ate brownie sundaes! How much more fun can it get?? By planning something fun to finish off your depressing week of syllabuses and waking up early for the first time in months you have something to look forward to.
3. Start with a positive attitude! If you start off with a positive attitude the week and the whole year will seem to fly by. Staying positive throughout the year will help you get work done but also help you see the better side of school and life in general.
4. Don't obsess over things that don't matter! Going back to school there are a lot of things to worry about so don't make extra ones. You know what I mean, relationships, drama, and problems that aren't your own. Being involved in school and getting good grades should be the only things on our minds and for all the fellow seniors college apps as well. If you're too busy worrying about drama and relationships focus is lost for the things that matter. If you go back to school only worrying about things that matter, the year will be 1,000 times easier.
5. Take it all in! This is more of a tip for all my other seniors out there but I cannot emphasize how important this is for everyone. Take in everything around you at school and really just in your life. You will never be able to experience life the same way you are now. Even though you may hate High School, whether it's one small part or the whole thing, we will all look back on it and want to remember the amazing things that were there. That could be your friends or a favorite teacher of yours, but if you don't take it in now you won't remember it years from now and you'll regret it.   

Thanks for reading! I hope these were
as helpful for you as they are for
me every single year!  

Introduction To Polished & Plus and Me

Hi!

My name is Victoria and I am so very excited to be writing my first ever blog post! I was sitting in my bed this morning and I finally decided it was time to start my blog, something I have been wanting to do for a very long time. First off I guess I should tell you all a little bit about myself. I am a 16 (17 in less than a month) year old regular girl going into my senior year of high school. I love fashion and reading fashion blogs, but I don't feel like there's a blog out there that can completely relate to and encapsulate me, so I decided to start my own. I am a plus size teenage girl but that's not all I am. I love music, fashion, and people!! In addition to fashion I am very passionate about makeup and I hope to share that all with you! This blog is going to be a way for me to share the things I love from trending fashion, my personal style, music, lifestyle tips and so much more.

Now a little bit about Polished and Plus. I chose the name because I wanted to portray living a polished life. Living a polished life to me means having fun and looking good doing it. Being plus size is an important part of who I am, what I wear, and what I've struggled with, but I have and will never let it hold me back. Through writing this blog I hope that I can inspire other young women of all shapes and sizes to never be afraid to be who they want to be and wear what they want to wear.

Thanks for reading and I hope you chose 

to share this crazy wonderful 

journey with me!
