January Favourites! | 2016

-
Hey Guys x

It's Favourites time once again!

This month hasn't been the best in terms of favourites, I've been loving the same things that I loved in December, so there's not that many new things to talk about!

I hope you enjoy seeing what I've been loving this month!

Favourite Movie: Shelter















I have spoken about this film so much in January that I can't talk about it again! But because I loved it so much, I couldn't not put it as this month's favourite film. I'll link the review I did here so that I don't have to write out the whole thing again!

Favourite TV Show: The Inbetweeners


I have been obsessed with this in January. I watch all three seasons in 3 days! It's about these four British boys who go to sixth form, and are basically on a mission to have fun and have sex, not necessarily in that order! But it's so hilarious! The language is a bit graphic, but I love that about it! Just don't watch it when young ears are present!

Favourite Song: History


One Direction released the music video for their new song 'History', and I wrote on twitter that I had feels from the video and felt emotional. Watching it, I realised that I've actually been on their journey with them without knowing! I watched their very first individual auditions and have been keeping track of them ever since, so it's nice for them to take a break with that being their last video (for now)!

Favourite YouTuber: Carrie Hope Fletcher


Carrie is doing so much this year! She's leaving Les Mis, cutting off her hair for charity, publishing her book 'On The Other Side', which I have pre-ordered, and she's announcing a secret project later this year too! I am so excited about where she's going and I can't wait to go along this journey with her!

Favourite Music Artist: Adele


Have you seen Adele's carpool Karaoke with James Corden? No? Well then go to YouTube right now and check it out because it's got 59 million views and counting and it deserves even more! Trust me, you will not regret it!

Favourite YouTube Video: Never Have I Ever With My Sister

 These are the bloopers and extras, but yeah, this video was hilarious! Joe and Zoe Sugg played 'Never Have I Ever' and I loved it! The questions were unexpected and it seemed like they both answered honestly. Watch this video!

Random Favourites

 Wii Fit Plus!


This is, without a doubt, the funnest way to work out ever! I've been using it ever weekday in January and, not only are the different activities fun, but it keeps track of your weight, how many calories you lose, and how long you do it for. I find half an hour a day works for me, and it really has great results! My advice would be to play with friends or family, because they thing that pushes me to work the hardest is to beat my sister's scores!

Thank you for reading

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....
