Hey Guys x

So it's that time once again, for me to share with you guys the things that I've been loving this month!

Sorry this wasn't up on the 28th as I always say they will be.

However, the next time I do one of these posts, my exams will be finished and I'll have all the time in the world so I'm choosing to overlook the fact that this is late!

Favourite Film: The Avengers


Even writing the name of this film fills me with excitement! I know this came out in 2012, but I only saw this film for the first time early this month because I had been convinced that it was a 'boys film'. Oh how wrong I was! This film is the first union of all of the major characters from the Iron Man, Captain America and Thor films coming together to save the earth. This film is epic! There's no other word to describe it - EPIC!

Favourite TV Show: Wild At Heart


This is a major guilty pleasure of mine. I have been watching Wild At Heart since it first aired on ITV in 2006 (I think?) and I loved it ever since the first episode. The series on ITV has ended now which I'm really upset about, but the old episodes are being re-played on ITV3 and I am loving catching up again! It's about a family who moves from England to South Africa, mainly to work with animals. I don't really know how to describe it but it's amazing!

Favourite Song: Chandelier


I know I know, I'm extremely late to loving this song as I know that everyone has loved it for ages already. However, I only fell in love with it within the last week or so, and I am so surprised that I'd actually never heard the whole song before then! But I am loving this song right now!

Favourite YouTuber: Marcus Butler


Because of revision, I haven't really had a lot of time to catch up on the main channel videos or daily vlogs of YouTubers. However, I have watched some of Marcus' daily vlogs lately and I really enjoy watching him vlog! I mean, the healthy food thing every 2 minutes can sometimes get a bit much, but I don't really mind as much because I really like him as a person. If you don't watch him, I suggest you watch at least one vlog!

Favourite Game: Quizup


This is one of my favourite things to do at the moment. It's an app where you play against people from anywhere in the world in a quiz game, where you pick the category. This is the best way to spend time if you are feeling bored, and you get to pick your best category and battle to become in the top 10 in that category in the country. In April, I was number 7 in the UK or 'Sex and the City', because I used to play so much and it was so fun!

Favourite Music Artist: Nathan Sykes


You may or may not know that from 2010 to 2014, I was the hugest fan of The Wanted (I didn't stop being a fan - they broke up), and I am still a big fan of most of the individual members. Nathan Sykes was one of my favourite, if not, my absolute favourite member of the band, so I was thrilled when I heard that he was becoming a solo artist and bringing out his own music. I was even more thrilled when I heard his new single 'Kiss Me Quick'. Listen to this song if you haven't!

Favourite Celebrity: Robert Downey Jr


I'm very tempted to write a post about how RDJ inspires me, in the same way that I did for Louise Pentland and Carrie Hope Fletcher, but I haven't decided if I will yet. He is my favourite person right now for many reasons. I have been doing a lot of research on him lately and finding out about his past. Not that it matters to me, but I love the way that he has changed his life and become a different person (kind of), and that really inspires me. But as well as that, as a lover of romance, the main thing that I love about him is the way that he loves his wife Susan. I could literally sit and watch little clips of them together on YouTube for hours because I just love the way that they look at each other and the way that you can tell how much they love each other (which is extremely cheesy for me to say!). And as well as this, I just love the fact that he does good movies! I have yet to watch a movie starring him that I don't like (I mean, I'm sure I'll find one, he's been in so many!) because he's an amazing actor!

Favourite YouTube Video: Tipsy Talk With Hannah Witton
 
 
Hazel Hayes does a series called 'Tipsy Talk' where she gets her friends tipsy and basically just talks about life, and it's always hilarious! This one was particularly hilarious because both girls were not just tipsy, they were full-on drunk and it is one of the funniest videos that I have seen in a long time!

    I love all of Hazels videos and her Tipsy Talk series is just so funny. My favourite is the one with Jack Howard but this one was definitely a close second x

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

-
Image
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

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

My Problem With '8 Simple Rules'

-
Image
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
