Blogmas Day 4: Ways To Spend Winter Evenings

-
I really love the winter, the evenings in particular.

Mainly because school/college is finished for the day, so you have nothing to do for the evening.

So I'm going to share with you some of my favourite things to do on a winter evening.

Drink Hot Chocolate
 
I'm allergic to milk, and have never been a bit fan of hot drinks, but on a cold day, nothing can beat a nice hot chocolate! When I could drink milk, I would always have these and my sister still does because they are so nice!
 
Sit By a Fire
 
If you don't have a fireplace, then ignore this point. But for those of you that do, sitting by the fire on a really cold evening is a great feeling! Sitting in front of the radiator has the same effect, but it's less pretty.
 
Have a 'YouTube In Bed' evening
 
This can also work for TV, but I don't have a TV in my bedroom. Taking your laptop to bed with you and watching your favourite YouTubers from under the covers is great when outside is freezing cold. And it's fun!
 
Go For a Drive
 
This isn't only for if you can drive yourself (I can't) but if you have a friend or family member who can drive. Going on a journey with the heat on when outside is cold (or maybe even snowing) is so exciting because you can experience the snow without being cold!
 
Please let me know if you do some of these things!
 
I hope you enjoy this post!
 
It's 21 days until Christmas!
 
Come back tomorrow for Blogmas day 5!

Snatch | 100 Movies Bucket List

I'd never heard of this film before last year, when I watched it for the first time, so this time around was my second watch. Guy Richie's movies tend to be a bit hit-or-miss for me. This is one of the only ones where I don't have a strong opinion one way or the other. I didn't love the story, it didn't hold my interest the whole way through. But one thing that I absolutely loved was the dialogue. It was smart, quippy and made the film a much more fun watch than the plot itself would suggest. Another thing I absolutely loved was Brad Pitt's performance. This was probably one of my favourite roles of his. He did a great job with the character, and it was really different to everything else I've seen him in. But that being said, all of the performances were great. For me, if I had to guess why this film is considered a classic, it would 100% be because of the script and performances, rather than the film as a whole. It was the script that kept me locked in and

Miller's Girl | Film Review

A creative writing assignment complicates the relationship between a teacher (Martin Freeman) and his student (Jenna Ortega). I heard about this film maybe once and remember being interested in it, but then I never heard anything about it again. So when I saw it was available to rent/buy on Prime Video, I decided to give it a shot.  I don't know what to make of this one. I didn't hate it, but there wasn't a lot to like. The only thing I did like was that Martin Freeman and Jenna Ortega worked really well together and had good chemistry. I'd love to see them work together again, in a film with a better plot and a less weird (platonic) relationship. The characters are written really weirdly. There were many moments when they said things that were just so unbelievable, especially Jenna Ortega's character, Cairo. Another odd aspect of the film was the tone - I could never tell if things were supposed to feel sinister or not because the film couldn't decide how it wa

Book Review #127: The Hawthorne Legacy by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

After the events of 'The Inheritance Games', Avery still doesn't know why Tobias Hawthorne left her his entire fortune. All she knows for sure is that she isn't a Hawthorne. But when she discovers something that suggests she's closer to the Hawthorne family than she ever imagined, Avery, along with the mysterious Hawthorne brothers, try to find the truth once and for all . I reviewed the first book, 'The Inheritance Games', HERE , and said that because I didn't love it, I wasn't really interested in reading the sequels. I picked this book up on the spur of the moment, because while I didn't love the first, I was kind of curious about what came next. I'm so glad I decided to pick this up, because I liked it a lot more than the first one! One of my criticisms the first time around was that I felt Avery was quite juvenile and childish. This time around was entirely different - I really liked being in her head, and she definitely seemed more matu

My Problem With '8 Simple Rules'

Hey Guys x Today's post might come out as more of a rant, which I'm OK with because I haven't ranted about something in a while! Last year, I started watching the show '8 Simple Rules' when it started playing on Comedy Central. It originally came on between 2002 and 2005 but I didn't watch it when it was first on. Anyway, I really got into it. There were only three seasons, so it was over before I wanted it to be. And I loved this show, and I still love it. Comedy Central doesn't play it anymore but if it did I would dive right back into it because I love a good sitcom. However, I have a major gripe with a plotline of the show, that got more prominent in season 2/3. Let me just explain the characters a bit, so you know who I'm taking about in case you never watched it. The show revolves around a family, Paul and Cate Hennessy, and their children Bridget, Kerry and Rory. In the second season, the father in the show died (due

Girl Talk: Summer Fashion

This post is coming a day earlier than usual because I'm not going to be able to post anything tomorrow. I've said this before, but I don't think I know that much about fashion. My style is more comfortable than fashionable, nevertheless, I appreciate the fashion of other people. I am in love with a website called ' Polyvore ' which allows you to create many different outfits out of clothes that you can buy from high-street and designer stores. So I thought, why don't I make a collection of summer outfits and post them on my blog? Below are pictures of summer outfits that I've created, and how much each item of clothing costs. By clicking on the links, you can buy them online. I hope you like it!                                                                       Outfit 1 I love this outfit so much because the dress and shoes are very feminine, but the fabric vest makes it look a bit more masculine. The bag is gorgeous, but for me, it's to
