7 Months and Beau Bloggers!

-

I have been blogging for 7 months today! That is just crazy! It's almost 2015!

I find it amazing that in my 7th month of blogging, I have also hit 7,000 reads on my blog, which seems crazy, To imagine that, overall, people click on my blog link 1,000 times a month just doesn't even comprehend in my brain!

This month, in terms of college work, has been really busy, so writing this blog is not only a hobby, but kind of a haven. To have some time to just sit and spill all my thoughts out through my keyboard is just something that I love to do, and I can't imagine ever not loving it!

One of the main  things that I've been doing for my blog this month has been preparing for Blogmas! I have most (if not all) of the posts figured out, and some are planned. Also, it's really exciting because my birthday falls within Blogmas, and it's my 18th, so I may need to think of a special post to celebrate.

If you've been reading my posts for 7 months, or if you've just randomly clicked on this post today, thank you. It means a lot to me, and I hope I can carry on entertaining you for another 7 months and more!




I mentioned this briefly in my Blogmas post, but one thing I have done this month is join Beau Bloggers. And as it is Beau Bloggers appreciation week, I thought I would let you know a bit about us.

We are a community of bloggers, created by Lauren and Izzy (click on their names to go to their blogs, which are awesome!).

One day, Izzy commented on one of my posts that I should consider joining Beau Bloggers, with a post for more information, which is here.

After reading the information, I immediately joined the community, and I do not regret it in the slightest!

There are now 11 of us and we really want there to be more. In Izzy's post, you can see the proper information about what we do and why you should join, but personally, my favourite thing about it is that you just feel accepted. You're part of a community which doesn't depend on your amount of followers of views or comments, you're free to self promote as you wish with a promise that at least one person from the community (if not all) will read your post, and I love the fact that all the people in the community with me are just really nice and really good bloggers.

If you want to join the community, the link is here: https://plus.google.com/communities/115555914605034622326

    Such a good post and that is true to type out your thoughts, spill. Plus,y favourite thing when I started blogging true things I wrote, was to share with people. Even if it's anyone who wants to read/willing to people who could relate to it, it's just that one step to let them know that they're not alone in their thoughts, events, even feelings, etc. Sharing could help in many ways. Take Care.

Hot Frosty | Blogmas Day 17

  It's Blogmas day 17! When Cathy (Lacey Chabert) accidentally brings a snowman to life, she discovers the magic Jack the snowman (Dustin Milligan) brings to the town of Hope Springs. This is the third of four highly anticipated Netflix Christmas originals this year that I'm including in Blogmas. And while it's not the most original story, I've always loved the idea of Jack Frost, so I was excited to see it. Thankfully I liked this one - though maybe not as much as I wanted to. I really liked the character of Cathy. Not only was she really likeable, but because we get to know her so quickly, we can really root for her. I also loved the tone of the film. It didn't take itself seriously at all and made it clear to the audience that we're just there to have fun. All of the actors, main and supporting, were great. They were so much fun to watch and all played their characters really well. The chemistry between Cathy and Jack is great! You really want to see them tog...

Christmas Holidate | Blogmas Day 19

  It's Blogmas day 19! When Holly (Jasmine Burke) uses her company's app to find a date to bring home for the holidays, a glitch in the app causes more than one date to turn up. This film had an interesting premise because it seemed really original, and it looked like there would be a lot of chances for fun and humour. I didn't end up liking it as much as I wanted to. But one thing I liked was how much more modern it felt than most of the other movies I've watched for Blogmas this year. Even just the idea of her finding her date(s) through an app is original for a Christmas film. It's nice that the movie was family-focused, but the family it focuses on aren't that interesting and can't really carry the story. The main couple have chemistry and it was fun to watch them interact, but I never really cared about them one way or the other. And if for some reason they didn't end up together, it wouldn't have mattered to me. It took about 40 minutes for the...

Holiday for Hire | Blogmas Day 20

  It's Blogmas day 20! After getting dumped right before going home for the holidays, Katie (Christie Leverette) hires a man to pretend to be her boyfriend in front of her family. Finally a fake dating trope! A couple of the films this year have played with the theme, but this one really goes for it and I love that! But as much as I loved the premise, the film didn't really live up to it. However, one thing I loved as much as I loved the premise was Katie. Right from the beginning she was a character I could get behind and really root for. I also really loved Katie's roommate Sarah (Jeanne Lau) and I wish she had been given more to do, and more of a story. Why is she spending Christmas alone?? I tried not to look at the film from a point of realism, as this is a Christmas movie after all, but where was the sense of safety? The main couple are complete strangers at the start and it felt weird to see how quickly they trusted each other. And while I liked the characters intera...

A Christmas Proposal | Blogmas Day 16

-
Image
  It's Blogmas day 16! When Jason (Joshua T. Shipman) is forced to move for work, and his girlfriend cannot go with him because they are not married, he creates an elaborate plan to propose by Christmas. So apparently there are two films with the same name, made in the same year, and it looks like I picked the worst of the two! From the very beginning, the tone of the film is really odd. It was taking itself way too seriously for what is supposed to be a light Christmas movie. The plot didn't really make much sense. A few times throughout the film there was a point made that the character didn't want to be with his girlfriend, and had actually requested a be transferred to get away from her. So why are we watching him plan a proposal? Why is he planning a proposal in the first place? There were really weird moments throughout the film where the sound quality would drastically change when a character was speaking but not on camera, despite supposedly being in the same room. ...

Christmas on Ice | Blogmas Day 21

  It's Blogmas day 21! Former figure skater Courtney (Abigail Klein) teams up with former hockey player Noah (Ryan Cooper) to save the local ice skating rink from closing. I picked this one because it just seemed so quintessentially rom-com-y that I had no choice! And it also seemed like it would be really Christmassy, which is always important for a Christmas film. Unfortunately this one wasn't as romantic as it could have been. But I will say the Christmas part holds up - is there anything more Christmassy than ice skating?? My main gripe with the film is that I completely fell in love with a couple and was willing to spent all my time and energy on them. The only problem was, it wasn't the main couple! It was the side couple who were given no time! If the main couple of this film had been Beth (Caroline Portu) and Trevor (Matthew Grimaldi) this could have been a great Christmas movie. I really liked what little I saw of them and wanted so much more than the film gave us....
