Do More Of What You Love

-

I haven't posted a blog post in the last two days, due to exams, so I thought I would do a totally unplanned post based on something that  strongly believe, and something that a lot of youtubers talk about and stand by.

Why do something if it doesn't make you happy? I believe that, if you love something, then you shouldn't stop doing it based on someone else's feelings about you. If there's something in the back of your mind that you'd love to do (such as creating a blog) then do it, don't worry about what people will think of you.

Break the rules and take chances, you only get one life and only you can decide how you're going to live it.

Thank you for reading. I hope this post has made your day much more positive!
Sorry that it was so short, but as I said, I have exams xx

Comment below what keeps you positive!

The Thing | 100 Movies Bucket List

  This is a re-watch that I was really looking forward to. I watched it for the first time last year and really enjoyed it, so I was glad it was on the list! As with my first watch, I really like this film. It's great that the mystery was held for as long as it could be. The audience are in the same position as the characters, trying to work out what's actually happening, and as this is teased out to us, it is also teased out for them. As someone who's not always the biggest fan of sci-fi/horror, this film is the perfect blend of both genres. The visuals are so great. Not only do the creatures look unique and original, but they also look genuinely scary. They're really well designed and, at times, hard to look at. Outside of the horror aspect, it's really interesting to watch the group dynamics. To see the way their relationships change and they start to lose trust in each other as the events continue. Most of the characters get the chance to develop and it's re...

Primate | Film Review

  When a family's chimpanzee becomes rabid, a group of friends has to fight for their survival. I can't lie, I love cheesy horror and creature features, so even before the film started I was feeling really positive about it. And thankfully I had such a good time! It's kind of exactly what you think it would be, in the best way. It was interesting that the film actually let us get to know the characters a bit. Usually in a film like this, the horror of the 'creature' is the most important thing and everything else falls to the side. While I don't think we necessarily needed as much information on the characters as we got, it was still nice to see. That being said, as much as we know about them, they're not as developed as they could be. This film is stupid decision central, which will have you rolling your eyes in frustration but is also actually quite fun to watch. It was a lot more tense than I thought it would be. This aspect of the film was done really we...

Frankenstein (1931) and Bride of Frankenstein (1935) | 100 Movies Bucket List

  I decided to watch and write about these films together due to them both being quite short, as well as the second being a direct sequel. Plus after watching The Bride!, I was really in the mood for more Frankenstein content! I liked these movies. First up is Frankenstein. As short as the film is, I was surprised by how long it took to really get into the story. It was interesting to get the background, but after watching so many adaptations, I just wanted to see where it would go. The film spends time letting us get to know the characters, and as great as this is, it takes a while to see or get to know the character we're actually here to meet. But when we do get to meet the creature, it's definitely worth the wait! The design of the creature is great. Simple for today's standards but it really works. It's an iconic image. But what makes it work so well are the movements and actions. The creature is played amazingly by Boris Karloff. If I had one criticism of the char...

La La Land | Film Review

Hey Guys x On Friday, I went to the cinema alone for the first time! I am so proud of myself and I'm definitely going to do it again because it wasn't a bad experience. But the film that I went to see was La La Land. I mainly went to see it because of all the awards it's won, the fact that it's probably going to win an Oscar, and the fact that everyone on twitter who's seen it has said how amazing it was, so I had to see it. It's about a girl called Mia who is an aspiring actress when she meets Sebastian, a jazz pianist. They meet by chance a few times and start up a relationship, in which they bring out the best in each other. Sebastian decides that he wants to open a jazz club, and Mia wants to act, to be taken seriously. But to realise their dreams, the pair have to sacrifice more than they'd ever imagined. But will they ever realise their professional dreams? And will their relationship survive in the process? And I have to add, it...

Baking Tanya Burr's Cookies!

Hey Guys x First of all, thank you so much to all the people who left comments on my last post, The Future . All of your comments were lovely and inspiring, and they meant so much to me, so thank you! I have baked cookies before, casually following Tanya's cookie recipe, which you can see here , but I only followed the recipe loosely and, looking back on it, they weren't as good as they could have been. So this week, I had some friends over and we decided to bake her cookies, strictly following the recipe that is in her book - and they turned out great! Ingredients I didn't take pictures of the ingredients because I was distracted by getting everything together and getting all of the equipment, but what you need is: 200g butter 300g caster sugar 1 large egg 325g self raising flour 200g white chocolate 200g milk chocolate The method Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Start by whisking the butter (at room temp) and the sugar until it's ...
