OVERALL WELLNESS: PSYCHOLOGICALLY 1

Hi loves,
A question to ask, what is overall wellness to you?

My group and I went ahead in talking about the things we believe which can lead to us, being overall well. Each of us believe that being well does not just mean by keeping fit and eating a  regular healthy diet. Having positive emotions and simply just being satisfied and happy with your life are also important factors to overall wellness.

To double confirm, we went ahead to google on overall wellness:
Guess what we found!?

 :):):)

"A person’s overall wellness is more than just the physiological workings of the body. It includes their psychological state. These two factors- body and mind can be closely knit and changes to one can have positive or adverse effects on the others."

So in conclusion, to achieve overall wellness, one must be living healthily and be geuninely happy!

 We will be covering on 4 posts of how to live healthily(exercising regularly and having a healthy eating diet) and be psychologically well.

Today, we will be covering on how to be overall well psychologically.

To be psychologically well, one has to be happy. To be happy about your your life, happy with who you are, and what you know, and what you have!

So today we are going to touch on the big word "HAPPINESS."

As a student, we are always facing this big word "STRESS". There are always so many assignments and projects for us to complete and submit!

Having a little stress is healthy! However, inevitably, there will be times when you will feel stressful and negative. There will be times when you get barely few hours of sleep. At the end of the day, your eyes suffer!

To add on, you may go to school the next day feeling so exhausted and frustrating that you end up falling asleep in class or throwing a tantrum to your loved ones.

Being a tertiary students, projects are inevitable as well. We can never escape from projects because it is part of our school learning process. In any group, there will always bound to have group conflict. And if you are unlucky and get bad group mates, you may get so frustrated and helpless that you want to just blow up!!

Or you even just wanna cry!!

Dont worry!! 
If you constantly feel this way, we feel you guys!

But do you know, despite chasing a stressful mile of endless deadlines in school, Abigail and Patrine still manage to find some 'little' happiness in school :)

Today, let Abigail and Patrine tell you what they do to be happy and positive in their everyday school life!

PATRINE AND ABIGAIL SAYS: 

1. Everybody needs friends.

Nobody is meant to be alone in this world!!!

There aren't many things more important than friendship. A friend is someone you can talk with about a problem, someone who is always there when you need a hand, someone you can trust with your deepest secrets, someone who makes you laugh, At every point in our life, we all need a friend.

Friends are an important source of comfort in our life because they are our emotional support.

So find some close friends in school whom you can trust and have joy with them. With close friends, you can find every reasons to laugh and to be silly with. You can also share with each other your HAPPINESS together.

a) Take silly photos  and video together in school to capture the happy memories:

Being silly before class starts :)

Taking our OOTD together :)

Celebrate each other birthday in school!!! :)

In the toilet HAHAHAH.

DO THINGS WHICH MAKES YOU HAPPY!

b) If eating food makes you happy, go ahead! Eat your favourite food in school with your friends!!!! :)

WE LOVE COOKIES <3

Ice-cream on a hot day to make us cool down :)

Patrine absolutely love SCRAMBLE EGG and Abigail loves HOT DOG PLUS POTATO WEDGES!!!! :)

Lastly, you don't have to go home all the time after school!

c) Go out once in a while after school to do your favourite hobbies!! But don't go out all the time, because school work is still important. Go out once in a blue moon to let your hair down and chill :)

 

We were heading to Orchard after school to unwind and get our favourite healthy drink :)

TA-DA SMOOTHIE KING :)

And patrine loves it too :)

     One random day where we went shopping after school :)

Here's a video of that rounds up our HAPPINESSS in school for one entire semester!!! :)

Need more tips? Fret no, our Psychologically 2 will be posted soon :) So stay tuned to our blog for more updates :)

INTERNAL BEAUTY: HUMBLE

Hello everyone! So today we are going to focus on "Humble."

So what is humble to you guys? What exactly defines humble? 

The word "Humble" is being seen as a person who is modest, by which doesn't accept his/her own success. They do not regard themselves as someone who is more important than other people, including those who have achieved less than we have. 

To reiterate the word "humble", we have put for you guys a short skit in this video. Hope you will enjoy it!!! :)

As what you've seen in the video, Edwin has collected his team group report. Looking at the results of the group report, Edwin started raging on both Shermaine and Abigail as they didn't produce the quality work that was required for their part. How would Shermaine and Abigail react to Edwin's rage?

Click on either one of the videos below to find out their reactions!! :)

From this video, Abigail was proud and arrogant, she simply refuses to accept her mistakes and in turn argues back with Edwin. This shows that she lacks the value of being humble.

Through this video, the value of being humble could be seen. Shermaine was being reprimanded by Edwin for her mistakes but she graciously accepted it. She shows that she has the strong point of being humble.

Admit that you are always not the best at everything no matter how talented you are, take in advices because there is always room for improvement. Next, recognize your own fault. Work to address your flaws and always remember that growth and improvement is a lifelong process. In conclusion,being humble is a important characteristic of life as it shows positive values of one person.

Stay beautiful!

INTERNAL BEAUTY: INTEGRITY

Hello everyone! So the last point we are going to touch on is "Integrity."

Have you heard of the word Integrity? What exactly defines Integrity? 

The word "Integrity" means someone who acts morally and has personal quality of fairness that everyone aspires to be.  

To reiterate integrity, we have put for you guys a short skit in this video. Hope you will enjoy it!!! :)

As you can see, Benedict has dropped his wallet on the floor. What will you do if you see a wallet on the floor with lots of $$$? Will you feel tempted to keep the wallet and buy something you like with the $$$ OR return to the owner? Will you have integrity?

Click on either one of the videos below to find out what Abigail and Shermaine did!! :)

Abigail was someone who is greedy. She did not practice integrity at all as she immediately kept the wallet and has no intention of returning it. Will you do the same as her too?

In this video, Shermaine took the effort to return the wallet to the General Office. She knows that if she loses her wallet someday, she will feel upset and anxious as all her money and cards are in the wallet. At the end of the day, she will hope someone will return it to her. Will you do the same as her too? :)

In conclusion, integrity is an important principle. No matter what situation you are in, you should always practice integrity and not let any other temptations or greed control you. Sticking to one's principle is the most important thing rather than betraying your own conscience.

Stay beautiful!

INTERNAL BEAUTY: COMPASSION

HELLO PEOPLE!

Here is a question for you today!

Soo.. 'What is internal beauty to you?'

Recently, we were having a conversation with a friend and we came to realise the importance of internal beauty. Basically, the conversation was about how he fell for a girl because of how pretty she looked. However, when we asked him about her personality, we realised that he had nothing much to say as he did not know much. That was when a thought struck us, we told him that she may have outer beauty, but what matters most is still internal beauty.

We then got down to discussing what internal beauty was, and before you know it, we were both out of words… it’s just undefinable!

Well, girls love makeup, hairstyles and fashion. Yes, these beauty tools get you to look beautiful on the outside but ultimately, true beauty still lies within one's self.
It is common to say that physical appearance is the first thing to attract someone. However, what we believe is that internal beauty still rules in the long run!

Therefore, for this week, our team will be sharing about internal beauty and the main factors that we believe is essential:

• Having integrity
• Being humble
• Having self-respect
• Being responsibility
• Being genuine
• Compassion for others
• Being confident
• Helping others
• Caring for others
• Loving others

And the list goes on and on!

We, the Ohsobeaute team, will be covering on three factors below:

• Having integrity
• Being humble
• Compassion for others

Today, we will be sharing about Compassion.

Compassion is showing that you empathise towards people’s feeling and problem. It is an emotion that we feel in response to the suffering of others that motivates a desire to help.

There's a lot of ways to show your compassionate side; you can go all out, like going overseas to do CIP work to the simplest thing such as smiling to someone. Choose to live in such a way that you are considerate of other's feelings and choose to help them without expecting to gain anything in return, but to simply offer yourself, your time and resources when you can. 

The Ohsobeaute team is proud to share with you guys that out of 6 of us, 2 actually went overseas with the intention of making life better for the less fortunate! 

First, lets start with Cenli. Cenli went to Laos to help the kids in the local school. She taught them basic English, and some handicraft. Also, she helped with the renovation of the school! 

Picture was taken in Laos, Cenli was helping to mend the walls along the corridor at a local primary school!

Next up, Edwin! Edwin went to Cambodia to help the less fortunate students to build a school so that they can have a better environment to learn and excel in. 

Edwin in action! Building a school for the local students in Cambodia!

Also, featuring one of our friends, John! Below is a picture of him donating blood because he believe that if he were to sacrifice a small part of himself today, he might be able to make an impact on someone's life. Good job John, we are so proud of you! 

One of our friends, John, donated blood to the Singapore Red Cross.

Sometimes, a smile is just a little effort away but you will never know how this little effort can brighten up someone's day. 

 During our  Samsung road show in school, Patrine took the initiative to make our school staff feel appreciated by getting them involved in our activity.  

Through all these small yet significant actions, they were able to make people's day feel better. This not only brings happiness to people but also shows that you are beautiful inside.

Beauty is only skin deep. If you go after someone just because she's beautiful but don't have anything to talk about, it's going to get boring fast. You want to look beyond the surface and see if you can have fun or if you have anything in common with this person.

GUYS FASHION TIPS: JEANS AND BERMUDAS

Who say guys fashion are limited? 

This is so not true!

Guys, listen up! Today we will be giving you tips on how to spice up your outfit so as to flaunt your different looks. We will have Blogger Edwin to show you how he pairs his clothes below.

JEANS

Sometimes, less is just nice. You don't have to over accessorize to make yourself stand out from the crowd. As you can see from above, Edwin wore his jeans and boots out with his basic stripes tee. He also added on a few of his favorite arm candies and a watch to compliment the look!!!! Do you like it?

 We also went around school and saw some of our friends who wore jeans to school that day:)

OOTD IN ACTION!

On a side note, during rainy days, it gets kinda chilly right? You don't always have to wear a cardigan or a jacket to keep yourself warm. Go for the school-boy look!

Wearing a white button-down shirt with a sweater as an outer-wear makes you a whole lot different from your friends isn't it? See how it finishes the look! Are you blown away? :)

We manage to catch some friends who wore different colored pants to school that day. We hope it gives you some inspiration on what you can mix and match for school!

OOTD IN ACTION!

BERMUDAS

On some days in school, when your timetable is short, you might just want to slip on to something simple. However, you may not want to look too sloppy. Here are two looks which Edwin wore to school on such days:)

What we love about Edwin's look was that he actually pair his Bermuda with a basic vintage printed, collar top. Normally, guys tend to stay away from prints and details. They would go for shirts with neutral tone.

If you don't want to appear boring, sometimes simple prints and details on the shirt can go a long way!

If you feel that wearing a collar shirt is too formal or slightly uncomfortable, you can pair your Bermudas up with a printed cotton shirt. Pump up the look by wearing a colour Bermudas that is not just white and black. From the outfit above, Edwin actually paired his camo shirt with a navy blue cardigan and burgundy Bermudas. The colours actually compliments one another well! 

Lastly, not forgetting our friends in action!

OOTD IN ACTION!

So we hope you guys out there would have a clearer picture on how to dress up and present yourself better during different days in school! Do not be afraid to try out new styles! 

See you around on campus! :)

Stay beautiful!
