Hey Guys x So, for this whole year, I've been writing down everything that I've done in my 'Sprinkle of Glitter' 2016 diary, with the idea that it would be cool to be able to look back on every day of the year. So today, I counted up all the things that I've done a lot, and I thought it would be cool to share some of these statistics with you! These will also form a lot of my New Year's Resolutions, which will be up on the 31st. Anyway, I hope you enjoy seeing my stats! Tell me some of yours in the comments!

Hey Guys x This year, I thought I'd do something a little bit different with my last 'Favourites' post of the year. Rather than just tell you the things that I've been loving this month, I'm also going to tell you my favourites of the year! I hope you enjoy my last 'Favourites' post! It's gonna be a long one! Favourite Film: The Loft 'The Loft' has definitely been my favourite film of December. It's fast paced and exciting, there's twists and turns around every corner and you really can't guess what the outcome is! Definitely one to watch! Film Of The Year (1): Captain America: Civil War Of course this had to be one of my films of the year. As a huge Marvel fan, I went into 2016 really anticipating this film, and it certainly did not disappoint! I've watched it multiple times since and it gets better every time! Film Of The Year (2): Star Trek This year, I have loved getting into the Star Trek world. These film...

Hey Guys x It's finally here! The day that most of us have been waiting for! Merry Christmas Everyone! I hope you have an amazing day, that you get everything you want and that this is your best Christmas ever! Have a great day everyone! Lou xx

Hey Guys x It's the end of Blogmas! I mean, officially, Blogmas ends tomorrow, but as tomorrow is Christmas day, today is the end of my Blogmas. Blogmas this year has been much harder than Blogmas the previous two years I've done it. I've been out of ideas, I haven't been bothered and I haven't felt like anyone is reading my posts. But because of this, this has been my favourite Blogmas looking back. This is because I haven't forced myself to post about Christmas every day, and so instead I've been able to write posts about things that I'm passionate about. And I'm proud of myself for setting aside the time each day to write a handful of posts, especially when I wanted to be doing anything but. I don't have a lot to say today. Tomorrow's post is also going to be really short, because it's Christmas. But I just want to say, I hope you really enjoyed my Blogmas posts. I hope you're going to spend the new year watching t...

Hey Guys x I can't believe Blogmas is almost over! I'm posting every day until the end of December anyway, but it's still weird to think that I've been doing Blogmas posts for 23 days already! I'm definitely giving myself a break in January! This is also my last movie-based post in Blogmas, so thanks to everyone who's commented on them and liked them, maybe I'll do something similar next year? Anyway, for today's post, I'm going to highlight some maybe lesser-known movies that you guys might not have heard of, that I think are really amazing and should be more popular! I hope you enjoy this post! The Loft This film is incredible! It's a psychological thriller about 5 married guys who buy a loft apartment together so that they can keep secrets from their wives. However, one morning the 5 guys discover that a woman has been killed in their loft and handcuffed to the bed. They are the only ones that have keys, so, which one is the kil...

Hey Guys x I have to be honest, I had nothing planned for today. I had one idea that wasn't quite right so I scrapped it and decided to go off the cuff and write whatever was on my mind. I'm writing this on the 19th December, and I'm not yet excited for Christmas in the slightest. (*Update: It's now the 22nd and I'm still not excited) My shopping is done, there are presents under the tree, the menu has been decided, and I could not care less. For me, Christmas day has never been a source of excitement, other than the fact that I get to open presents. I never enjoy celebrating it, and this year I'd love to just pretend it isn't Christmas. I want to go to the cinema and watch 'Passengers' (starring Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence) but unfortunately, I have no choice but to celebrate it. It's not that I have something against Christmas, I just don't enjoy celebrating it. I love the festive period. all these days leading up to i...

Hey Guys x I have to say, daily blogging is really beginning to take it's toll! I'll stick it out for the rest of December, but I really hope next Blogmas (if I do it) is a lot easier! Anyway, today I thought I'd tell you about some of my filmmaking idols - the people who do their jobs well and aspire me to follow in their footsteps. Let me know who some of your career idols are in the comments! JJ Abrams JJ Abrams is on this list because, simply, he makes good stuff. But in addition to that, he is really passionate about the projects that he takes on - you can tell! I've seen a lot of interviews with him from when he directed the first two Star Trek movies ('09 and Into Darkness) and it's clear how much he loves his job and how much fun he had making them, as well as how hard he worked. But in addition to that, the cast of those two films could not stop raving about him and saying how good he was as a director, which just tells you how awesome he is...
