5 Self-Love Questions Tag - Smiley Central | Guest Week

-

Hey guys! I'm Catherine, I have been writing the blog Smiley Central for almost a year now (crazy, right?). I post about feminism, inspiration, lifestyle and anything else that pops into my head really. I'm really happy to be apart of Lou's Guest Week! I have created this tag to promote self love. I figured it would fit in here well as some of you may not know me and the people that do can get to know me better! We all deserve to love ourselves and we all deserve to show that off!

Rules:
1. Copy and paste these rules into your own post above the questions
2. Answer the questions
3. After the questions, send a kind message to the readers
4. Tag at least five specific bloggers (feel free to do more) but mention that everybody is very welcome to do the tag (just because we all know "I tag everybody reading this" results in nobody else doing it)

1. What is your favourite part of your body?
I love my slim yet strong legs. I love the way they curve and their slimness. I rely on my legs to carry me around, do countless wall sit, run amazing lengths, squat, jump and so many other things, they hardly ever let me down. I have learnt that when I'm really tired, my legs start to ache, after all that work, they send me messages about when I should sleep. I love wearing exercise pants to show their beauty off.

2. What is your favourite trait of your personality?
My favourite part of my personality is something that hasn't always worked in my favour. I'm goofy, I'm weird, I'm not afraid to show that. Because of this, I was bullied. Not as bad as a lot of people but at one of the schools I went to, there wasn't really anybody that was weird like me and the people at the school didn't like that. For a while I tried to be somebody I wasn't but luckily I moved to another school and found some weirdos to be friends with. I don't ever pretend to be somebody I'm not now. If I'm the real me from the start, I attract the right kind of people. I love that I'm different more that anything else about me.

3. What is your ultimate self-date?
At lunch time I go to Subway and take my food home so that I can write blog posts and eat until 2:30 when I go to the Hamilton Gardens (I would have to drive there but let's just ignore that lol) and have a great time exploring the gardens of different countries from home! I leave at 5 and go out for dinner somewhere fancy. I enjoy a lovely meal then come home to my lovely warm bed and watch movies on my computer until I feel like going to sleep. Perfection!

4. What is the best compliment you could ever receive?
I would want my friends to tell me that I'm helpful when they are sad. I try so hard to make sure everybody's happy and to comfort my friends when they need it and I just want to know that I'm doing a good job being the "Fix-It Girl". I really do tie myself up and sometimes I think it would be easier if I didn't comfort every single sad person I come across but I really can't help it.

5. What is something you have achieved that you are proud of?
I think the thing I am most proud of is blogging. Over the time I have been blogging I have developed my writing style, made some true friends, gained a few regular readers (that's something I never thought I would achieve) and grown as a person so much. I'm so grateful that I live in this era, where I can talk to people overseas and share my opinions online freely, I'm so happy that I can share the things I know with others. I'm really proud of my little space online.

My Message To You:
You are beautiful. You are strong. You are kind. That is all true and I believe with my entire soul, I really hope you do too. I know that you aren't perfect and I know that you have regrets. I know sometimes you have difficult days or difficult weeks or difficult months and you might not feel so beautiful, strong and kind in those moments but... You are ALWAYS beautiful. You are ALWAYS strong. You are ALWAYS kind. No matter what. I know that a lot of people say this but please know that I am here for you. I'm quite happy to receive emails at smileycentralinspire@gmail.com whether I know you or not. I will read your email and reply, I want you to know that it is entirely fine if you just want to talk, I'm here.

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

My Problem With '8 Simple Rules'

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

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

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

The Green Mile | 100 Movies Bucket List

This was a first-time watch, but one that had been on my list for years, so I'm glad the Bucket List forced me to finally watch it! What a movie! I don't really know what I was expecting, but I didn't expect to be as affected by it as I was. Because this film really touched me. I was emotionally invested, engaged, immersed, devastated, broken and everything in between. I'm still not over it. There are so many things to praise about this movie, starting with the performances. Every actor was amazing in their respective role, but the two clear standouts are Michael Clarke Duncan and Tom Hanks. I've seen quite a few Tom Hanks movies, and I can honestly say that this is the first time I've completely loved a performance of his, he was amazing in this role. And Michael Clarke Duncan was phenomenal and completely made the film what it is. Then there's the writing and direction, both of which were incredible. The story is so powerful, which is due to, what I assume

Anyone But You | Film Review

After a great first date that quickly goes bad, Bea (Sydney Sweeney) and Ben (Glen Powell) despise each other. But when they are both invited to a destination wedding, they decide to fake date to stop their animosity from ruining the wedding celebrations. I didn't pay much attention to this film until I started seeing the reviews. I haven't seen a really good rom-com in a while, so hearing that this was quite a good one made me excited to see it! I liked this film, but I didn't love it. The meet-cute was really fun and unique, and a good way for the audience to get to know the characters. The cast is great, and the characters are all played really well. The main characters in particular are really fun to watch, especially when they're arguing. The dialogue is written really well and it's an enjoyable watch, but I never felt like I really got to know them, and so I never felt 100% invested in their stories. And with that, while I enjoyed their interactions, I never r
