Hey Guys x I can't believe it's time for another 'Favourites' post, it feels like only last week I wrote the last one! Anyway, as usual, I'll be showing you some of my favourite things this month - I hope that some of my favourites can become your favourites too! Favourite Movie 1: The Proposal I can't believe it's taken me so long to see this film! I'd heard good things about it, but only watched it myself this week! For a rom-com, I was surprised at how much 'com' there actually was. Both of these characters are hilarious, and it was the smallest, most insignificant things that had me rolling on the floor with laughter. Definitely check out this film if you haven't already seen it! After I write this post, I'm definitely going to watch it again! Favourite Movie 2: Deadpool Since May last year, I've been really into superhero movies, particularly Marvel movies, so when this came out, I was really excited to see it, espe...

Hey Guys x I was recently contacted by a company called ' Chairish ' who buy and sell vintage furniture. They asked me if I'd like to write a post about some of my 'coffee table essentials' using one of their own coffee tables as inspiration, and of course I said yes because, not only is this type of post very 'me' anyway, but their tables are completely gorgeous! I choose the 'Octagon Brass Coffee Table'    because it's so unique and completely beautiful! I don't live with any small children, so the idea of having a glass coffee table is really nice and the table itself is so sophisticated. Below is how I'd style my table: Let's start with the bottom left: Books! I'd stick with the book that you're currently reading, but you can always have multiple books! I couldn't have a coffee table without having at least one book, let alone a couple! Next up, the scented candle! When it's not lit, it's ...

Hey Guys x I had this idea a while ago and am finally doing something about it! I have called this 'Guest Week'. I want to have a group of bloggers (as many as possible) do guest posts for my blog. I use the term 'week' loosely because I might have more than 7 of you involved, but I thought that this would be a really good way to promote your blogs and also for me to get some amazing content for my own blog! So, before anything else, I need to give you some basic information and answer any questions that you may have! What date do you want it for?  I know that, with blogging, there are unforeseen circumstances. However, I'd like to have the first post uploaded for the 11th April , and all other posts following that date every day until I've uploaded all of them. What should it be about?  Originally, it was 'a topic of your choice', but I know how annoying it is to just be told 'write anything' on a blog that isn't yours - so I...

Hey Guys x I love a good horror movie! So as soon as I heard about this and watched the trailer, I was itching to go and see it! I watched it on Wednesday, and as soon as I came out of the cinema, I wanted to write this post. But before writing it, I did a bit of research and read an interview with the author just to make sure that I understood everything that happened. It's about a woman called Greta from the USA who takes a job as a nanny (live-in babysitter) in the UK. When she meets the family that she is babysitting for, she discovers that she has been hired to babysit a doll, called Brahms. At first, she's freaked out, but the pay is good and, she figures that, looking after a doll is the same as being paid to do nothing, so she agrees. She's given rules by the couple (such as: don't cover his face, don't leave him alone, kiss him goodnight), which she ignores at first because, he's a doll right? Then Greta meets Malcolm, the grocery boy, w...

  Hey Guys x As you may or may not know, throughout the last year and a bit, film has been something that I feel really passionate about, and I've been watching as many films as possible! So, for today's post, I thought I'd let you in on some of my favourite sequels. People tend to say that the original is always the best and that sequels tend to ruin the story - and this is true in many cases. However, I've picked 10 sequels that I think, not only make their franchise better, but in some cases, are better than the original movies! This list mainly consists of Marvel, horror and Disney movies, so they might not be your cup of tea, but I love them all! For each film, I'll say whether or not you can watch it without watching the first movies, because that's really important for me when it comes to sequels! Also, my descriptions will probably contain spoilers from the first movies, so if you haven't seen them, but you want to - avoid reading my descr...

Hey Guys x If you've not been reading my blog for a long time, then you might not know that I used to do interviews with bloggers! I don't know why I stopped doing them. It's really embarrassing, but I've had this interview with Vicky sitting in my inbox since May last year!  I'm so sorry that I haven't uploaded it yet Vicky! But Vicky has an amazing blog that you can view here ! Definitely check it out because it's amazing! I copied this straight from my emails, which is why there's a white box around the text. Just ignore it! Anyway, let's get on with the interview! Introduce yourself to my readers in less than 5 words: Tea, Cake, Disney, Music, Happy What is your favourite song to listen to whilst blogging? This is tough because I listen to so many songs! My two favourite albums to listen to whilst writing are 'Chaos and the Calm' by James Bay and 'The Balcony' by Catfish and the Bottlemen and my...

Hey Guys x I've hit 50,000 views. 50,000. I'm halfway to 100,000 views and it feels amazing! I can't explain how happy I am with this. I know that for the last few weeks, maybe even the last month, I haven't been as active as I'd like or as passionate about blogging as I'd like, and I'm really sorry for that. I wrote a post about how I was feeling, which I'm not going to link to because I don't feel that way anymore. I feel like I'm back, as cheesy as that sounds. I'm feeling passionate, I've got ideas, and I'm enjoying writing! This week I went back to writing my novel, which I've been avoiding since August (which is probably why you haven't seen me mention it yet this year!) And I mean, I don't feel completely myself, but I feel good enough to get back to what I love doing. But it astounds me that I reached this milestone when my blog wasn't it's best, when I didn't post as much as I'd ...

Hey Guys x The first thing I want to say about this is that, for most of England (I'm not sure about the rest of the UK) this film is still in cinemas, so go and see it if you haven't! I watched this on Friday evening with a friend. At first, we were gonna go and see Deadpool (which I still really want to see!) but the times were too awkward, so we saw this instead and I am honestly so glad because, if I hadn't gone with her, I probably wouldn't have seen this. This film is about a mother and son who have been held captive in a room. The mother had been in the room for 7 years and the boy was 5, so he had never before experienced the outside world. His mother Joy (known as 'Ma') had told him (Jack) that 'Room' was the world, and that everything else was TV or made up, including things such as dogs and cats. However, just after Jack turns 5, Joy decides that she's had enough, and she wants to get herself and her son out of that room an...
