July Favourites! | 2015

Hey Guys x

Time again to write one of my favourite posts, where I show you all of the things that I have been completely loving this month!

As I always say, I hope that some of my favourites become your favourites too!

Favourite Movie: Insidious 3


If you don't know yet, I love horror movies! As soon as this came out, I watched it because I really enjoyed the first two insidious films. I honestly didn't expect it to be as good as it was. I was watching it with my mum and we were both jumping out of our skins every 5 minutes - the film has a lot of great jump scares, which is what I love about horror movies. You don't have to see the first two to watch this one as it occurs before them. Although I have to say, if you're not a big fan of horror movies, you may not want to watch this film.

Favourite TV Show: The Vampire Diaries


When I was doing my exams in June, I stopped watching this so that I could focus on revising. I had just started season 2 so I wasn't that far in, and then  I just forgot about it. However, in  the past two weeks, I've started watching it again and I'm completely in love with it! I think that this show is the best way to do a vampire TV series and, if you're going to watch a supernatural show, make it this one! If for no other reason, Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder. Enough said!

Favourite Song: Kiss Me Quick


I have been a fan of Nathan and The Wanted since 2010, and I still love them! So when I heard that Nathan was bringing out a solo single and album, I was really excited. Then I heard this song, and I was even more excited! It's not just your average pop song and I think it just showcases how freaking talented the boy is! I can't stop listening to this song and am currently playing it to death! Listen to it if you haven't already!

Favourite YouTuber: Louise Pentland


You must all already know how much I love Louise! She's an amazing human being who I look up to a lot. Recently, she's been uploading the vlogs of her spending time with her friend Marie in Seattle, and it's really nice to see her with her guard down, around people that she's comfortable with. But as well as that, she's just published a book, and I can't wait to read it because, from what I've heard, it's amazing! I'm really proud of what she's accomplished so far, and I can't wait to see what else she does!

Favourite Music Artist: Nathan Sykes


This goes without saying, especially as his song is this month's favourite! But I just love how genuine he is. I've always been a fan of him (and a little bit in love with him) but recently, he's really come into his own and become his own person, and I've seen a different side to him, which has been lovely. I think I'll always be a fan of him!

Favourite Celebrity: Chris Evans


Ever since watching The Avengers, I've loved Chris Evans as an actor. But after watching interviews with him and seeing him talk about his interests, I've found that he's a really interesting person. He really tries to keep himself in the present to stay grounded, and I found that really nice. He's so humble and, from what I can see, just a really lovely guy. I can't wait to see him in more films!

Favourite YouTube Video: Tipsy Talk with SprinkleofGlitter (Again)

Tipsy Talk is a series by Hazel Hayes, and it is probably one of the best things on YouTube. However, as great as it is, when the special guest is Louise Pentland, it's just pushed over the edge. These two women are amazing together and this video is one of the funniest things that I've ever seen! Watch it now!

Random Favourite: Dream A Little Dream


I reviewed this on Sunday, so you can probably tell why it's a favourite! I never normally do books as favourites, just because I never finish a book in time for it to be in my favourites, and I don't want to write about one as a favourite unless it's completely amazing, which this book is!

Thank you for reading.

Comment below some of your July Favourites!

Keep Smiling - Lou xx

100 Movies Bucket List 2024 | Reflections

                                                  Wow. I can't believe I actually did it - and a lot sooner than I thought I would! I finished watching all the movies in October and as great as finishing it felt, not having a set list of films to watch every day has kind of thrown me. It's been nice to be able to watch films just because I love them, but I have really missed watching all these new ones. Completing this list has made this year a really great one for film. I've seen so many amazing films. From the great first-time watches that I'd always been meaning to see (like 'The Shawshank Redemption' and 'The Dark Knight'), the great first-time watches I'd never heard of before (like 'Oldboy' and 'Léon: The Professional', the re-watches that I loved more this time around (like 'The Prestige' and 'Up') and some familiar all-time favourites (like 'Back to the Fu...

Meet Me Next Christmas | Blogmas Day 1

-
Image
It's Blogmas Day 1! Happy December! In order to reunite with the man who may be the love of her life, Layla (Christina Milian) must find a ticket to the sold-out Pentatonix Christmas concert. Netflix has a few interesting movies coming out over the Christmas period. This one was the first to come out, so it made sense that it should be the first pick of Blogmas. The main character, Layla, is a fun character to follow from the very beginning. We're invested in her life and we're rooting for her to find the love she wants. The premise itself is sweet. Generic enough to feel familiar but original enough to still be an intriguing watch. Making it the perfect way to start Blogmas. I wasn't familiar with Pentatonix or their music, so this film was a great introduction to them, and the way they were incorporated into the film was really fun.  Because of the group, the music throughout the film was great! I don't think there's a Blogmas movie that will beat this, music-...

Blogmas 2024!

I feel like I get more and more excited for Christmas and Blogmas every year! In terms of Blogmas, I definitely feel like I've found a tried and tested method that works for me, so as usual I'll be reviewing Christmas movies for the 24 days leading up to Christmas, starting from the first of December. Which means that Blogmas officially begins in 3 days! It's always really fun to pick the movies I'll be watching. I'm not as far ahead at this point in the year as I usually am (I'm currently watching day 7 as I write this), so I hope some of my picks end up being great! As always I'll be ignoring my usual ratings in favour of my Christmas rating system: Title  (How original? How creative? How fun?) Originality  (self-explanatory) Christmas Spirit  (Is Christmas integral to the plot, or could the film's events have happened at any time of year?) Christmas Music  (again, self-explanatory) And that's everything! I'm really excited to get started. My n...

Destined at Christmas | Blogmas Day 3

-
Image
It's Blogmas Day 3! When Kim (Shae Robins) and Theo (Casey Elliott) meet while Christmas shopping, sparks fly. But when a power cut separates them, neither can forget their connection. This was a spur-of-the-moment random pick. I had a film picked for day 3 but just couldn't get into it at all when I started watching it, so I went for this one instead. And to be honest, neither were particularly great picks. But this one had potential. From the beginning the characters had really great chemistry. It was fun to watch them and I wanted to see a lot more of them. Because the issue with films like this, where the main couple are separated, is that they spend a lot of time away from each other and aren't able to build a connection. In a rom-com, this isn't really fun to watch. We want to believe the couple are meant-to-be because we can see it, not because we're repeatedly told. In addition to that, the two main characters, while fun together, weren't strong enough i...

Christmas Lucky Charm | Blogmas Day 2

  It's Blogmas Day 2! Jessica (Sugenja Sri) is a lucky charm - everyone she dates finds the love of their life immediately after dating her. But when she decides to swear off love for good, a gallery owner (Adrian Spencer) moves in across the street and she starts to feel like her luck is changing... I really liked the premise of this one. It seemed sweet, but also like it could have more substance than the average Christmas romance. I loved the main character, Jessica, from the second the film started. She was so much fun and honestly could have carried the film on her own. The main couple are really sweet and it's lovely watching them together and seeing them get to know each other. They also had great chemistry, which for some reason is rare so far in the 8 Blogmas movies I've watched this year. Though I will say that because the poster of the film is completely misleading, it actually made me like and root for the couple more because I assumed we would end up being caug...
