September Favourites 2022 :)

This month has been a bit all over the place as I have been travelling for some of it and also I have been really busy with work so I don’t have too many favourites for this month but there are a few that I have on my list 🙂

Fate Season 2: I absolutely LOVED the first season of this show when it was released last year so I have been waiting for this second season since then and it was so worth the wait!!! I absolutely loved the addition of Flora to this season and this is the perfect start to my spooky Halloween watching 🙂

She-Hulk- I have been a big Tatiana Maslany fan since watching Orphan Black so when I found out that she was joining the MCU I was very excited and during the show I have absolutely loved it 🙂 I really enjoy the little asides to the camera and also am very excited to see what happens if/when DareDevil makes an appearance!

Carrie Soto is Back by TJR- I was already a big Taylor Jenkins Reid fan so was eagerly awaiting the arrival of this book but when it actually arrived it was so much better than I thought! The moment I shut the book I wanted to start it again from the beginning and I have written more about it in my recent post about the fifth part of my goodreads challenge 🙂

Married at First Sight- I recently started watching Married at First Sight with my family as we were scrolling through trying to find a show to watch all together and we thought this show would be a good pick as it would be easy watching however we absolutely loved it and I’m hooked! Its so interesting seeing how all of the different couples interact with each other and also watching them learn to compromise and find out about this stranger that they married! I would highly recommend for any fans of reality TV 🙂

August Favourites 2022 :)

This month has been a bit of a weird one however I have still got some favourites that I figured I would share with you guys.

WonderWater by L’Oreal- It was actually my Mum who recommended that I try this hair treatment because I have such long hair it is always getting really tangly so I have been used this the last few times that I washed my hair and it is absolutely AMAZING! You can literally feel the tangles melting out of your hair and your hair feels so soft and nice afterwards 🙂

Only Murders in the building Season 2- I absolutely loved the first season of Only Murders in the building so when they announced that they were doing a Season 2 I was so happy!! I must admit that I didn’t think that this season was as strong as the previous season but I did really enjoy it! 🙂 I’m very intrigued to see what they do with Season 3 as well!

Animal Crossing- New Horizons: I have always been someone who played my DS very occasionally however as I have been ill over the past two weeks I found myself reaching for my Nintendo and one of my favourite DS games has always been Animal Crossing 🙂 I love being able to build my town and buy different things to make everything look pretty and sectioning off parts of my island for different things 🙂 It has made me think that I would like to play it a bit more even when I’m back at work 🙂 Let me know in the comments if you guys would be interested in an island tour on here 🙂

Blonde- Maisie Peters: I am a big fan of Maisie Peters and have been loving all of her newest music and Blonde was no exception! The lyrics are hilarious and amazing and it is such a bop that you can’t help dancing along 🙂 I am so looking forward to being able to sing along and dance to all of her new music on her next tour which I believe is next February 🙂

January Favourites 2022 :)

Shadowhunters: I never really got into the Shadowhunters book series when it first came out however I did enjoy the movie with Lily Collins so when my friend Barghavi suggested that we watch the TV show recently I agreed and I really got into it!! Some of my favourite characters include Isabelle and my favourite couple is definitely Magnus and Alec 🙂

I’m Trying (Not Friends) by Maisie Peters: This songs bridge went viral on TikTok throughout December and January and I am a big Maisie Peters fan so naturally I absolutely loved this song and have actually included it in my January playlist 🙂 I like to sing this song in the car on the way home from work in the car 🙂

Venom and Venom Let There Be Carnage: I watched the first Venom film quite a few years ago and did really enjoy it at the time however a few weekends ago my family and I sat down and did a binge watch of both Venom films and I absolutely loved them! I loved the relationship between Eddie Brock and Venom and the films are really funny 🙂 I would definitely highly recommend these films especially if you like superhero movies 🙂

Evidence of the affair by Taylor Jenkins Reid: I am a big fan of Taylor Jenkins Reids books and this Novella/Short Story is no different 🙂 I really enjoy short stories and I actually read this book on my way home from work on the train one day 🙂 Her writing is always simple but effective and she always chooses interesting characters and stories 🙂

Recent Favourites :)

Its been a while since I’ve written a favourites post but I thought I would write down some of my favourites since June!! Its taken me a while to get round to writing this post because in June I went back to work which has been super busy but without further ado lets get into it 🙂

1. Black Widow- I absolutely LOVED this movie!!! I am a big Marvel fan but also I love that Marvel are finally giving this character her own movie and paving the way for female superheroes! Natasha and Yelena were absolutely amazing and hilarious while trying to navigate their sisterhood and it was so interesting hearing about their background and their childhood.

Ghosted my therapist by Rachel Bochner- I actually found this song on TikTok a long time ago and completely forgot about it until about 2 months ago it came up on my FYP again and I LOVED IT! It got stuck in my head for weeks and I have only just got it out! Its so catchy and funny and very smart 🙂

Prattle and Pages Podcast by Carrie Hope Fletcher- I am a big fan of Carrie Hope Fletcher and recently she started a Bookstagram which I obviously followed because as most of you will know I also love books! About 2 weeks ago Carrie started a podcast with the same name Prattles and Pages where she will rate the books she reads and just chat about them which is such a cool concept 🙂 The first book she reviewed was Daisy Jones and the Six which I actually read recently and her analysis was spot on and I can’t wait to hear her opinions on even more books 🙂

Joanie clothing- This was another thing that I have discovered through Carrie Hope Fletcher that I had to mention because I was absolutely AMAZED! I ordered 2 jumpsuits and 2 dresses and I absolutely LOVE them 🙂 The jumpsuits actually fit me which is astonishing as I am only 5’3 so usually jumpsuits swamp me and the dresses were both gorgeous 🙂 The sizing is absolutely on point and they feel so comfortable 🙂

The last thing on my favourites list is the book The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo which I’m not going to talk that much about because I have already talked about it in my reading challenge post but I wanted to mention it here because it was such a good book and one of the best I’ve read this year 🙂

There have been a few TV shows that have come out with new seasons including: Sex Education and Brooklyn 99 which I have also loved to special mention to them as well 🙂 There have also been a few musical films out recently including In the Heights and Everybody’s Talking About Jamie which were both phenomenal 🙂

May Favourites 2021 :)

Lucy + Yak- When I saw my friend Ellie a few weeks ago she was wearing a pair of Lucy and Yak dungarees and I absolutely loved the look of them so I went onto their website to have a look at what they sold, I was hooked! I ordered three different things from their website that day and then when my Mum and I went to Brighton at the end of April I went into their shop in the lanes to have a look and bought another couple of bits 🙂 I absolutely love their style and the different colours of their clothes and also that they are a sustainable and ethical brand which I love 🙂

Shadow + Bone- If you have been on TikTok in the past few weeks you will no doubt have seen videos relating to Shadow and Bone and its also Number 7 in TV programmes on UK Netflix at the moment 🙂 I have never read the books but after watching the series I really want to! I absolutely love Alina as a character and there are so many interesting characters and its such a cool concept 🙂

Line of Duty- I have been watching Line of Duty with my parents over the past few weeks and its absolutely AMAZING- I am currently on Season 5 and its been so so good so far 🙂 I think my favourite seasons have been Season 1 and Season 3 and I can’t wait to see what Season 6 brings 🙂 I think my favourite characters are Steve Arnott and Kate Fleming and definitely my favourite episode was the last episode of Season 3 🙂

• Moxie- I read this book a few years ago while on holiday in Mexico and absolutely LOVED it!! It was one of my favourite books and I still think about it to this day 🙂 When they announced that they were making this into a movie I was so so excited and it did not disappoint 🙂 If you fancy an easy watch feminist movie then this is the perfect movie 🙂 It discusses many important topics in todays society mixed in with some teen drama and feminist manifestos 🙂

• Demi Lovato- Dancing with the Devil- I have been a big Demi Lovato fan since she was on the Disney channel in Camp Rock and Sonny with a chance and have followed her battle with mental health and addiction and have watched her two other documentaries Simply Complicated and Staying Strong so stayed up late to watch the first two part of this documentary and it was amazing and so raw and I’m so happy she seems to be doing better and am so excited for this new chapter of music 🙂

• Wandavision- I am a huge Marvel Nerd and am so excited for this new phase of Disney+ Marvel shows!! Wanda is one of my favourite Marvel characters and her and Vision are my favourite couple in the MCU 🙂 I loved the new characters being introduced especially Agatha and the inclusion of some other characters from the MCU e.g. Darcy and Monica Rambeau 🙂

• Brooklyn 99 Season 7- Brooklyn 99 is one of my FAVOURITE tv show so I was so excited for the new seasons so watched it while it was airing in the US but have rewatched it (in an afternoon….. ooops) since it came onto Netflix and absolutely loved it just as much as when I watched it the first time 🙂

• Raya and the last dragon- THIS IS ONE OF MY NEW FAVOURITE DISNEY MOVIE!!! I loved all of the characters, Raya and Sisu are absolutely amazing and Tuk-Tuk is adorable!!

• CommonRoomCandleCO- One of my favourite Tiktokers does a segment where she talks about some of her favourite Harry potter themed small businesses and this company came up a few weeks ago and I was so intrigued that I decided to order a few candles as I was running low- the candles smell absolutely AMAZING and when they arrived you could see how much care and love had been put into not just the candles but the packaging of the items as well 🙂 If you are a Harry Potter fan I would highly recommend checking out her website and I believe that she is releasing some Percy Jackson themed candles soon as well 🙂

Full Course Meal- Jessie Paege- I am a big fan of Jessie Paeges music and she has been coming out with new music recently which I love 🙂 One of my favourite songs of hers is Skeleton and this has very similar vibes to that which I love 🙂

January Favourites 2021 :)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! I am so happy to be back after a month long break and have a few posts ready for you guys 🙂 I actually have quite a few favourites this month as the UK is in lockdown so I have been listening to and watching quite a few things 🙂

• Drivers Licence by Olivia Rodrigo: It seemed like at the start of January my entire for you page on TikTok was this song and I was living for it!! I was already a fan of Olivia due to her starring in High School musical The Musical The Series but I am now even more of a fan and can’t wait to hear more of her music when she comes out with it 🙂 If you are a Taylor Swift fan I would highly highly recommend checking this song out 🙂

• Tangled Cruise Musical- Tangled is one of my absolute favourite Disney Movies and I have often thought it would make an amazing musical similar to the Aladdin musical that they did on Broadway so when my dad called me into the living room one day and showed me that he had found the Disney Cruiseline version of Tangled the Musical I was obsessed!! I was sat in awe the entire time and absolutely loved it 🙂

• The Prom- I am such a Musical Theatre nerd and although I have never seen The Prom live when I am really sad about I absolutely loved the movie musical version 🙂 My favourite songs from the show are Alyssa Greene and Tonight Belongs to Us and they were absolutely amazing 🙂 Meryl Streep is always spectacular in any role that she plays and so is Nicole Kidman 🙂 I really hope that The Prom comes over to the UK when theatres reopen and I get to see it 🙂

• Hate Myself- Dodie Clark: I am a big Dodie Clark fan and have already pre-ordered her album and have seen her in concert numerous times so I always love it when she brings out new music 🙂 I actually watched the music video for this song on my dog walk which was really nice and I absolutely loved it 🙂

• Perfect Planet- I am such a big fan of David Attenborough and absolutely love his series whenever he does them 🙂 This series was so so interesting and focused on the main different weather patterns which was so interesting and how the animals have adapted to live with these different weathers 🙂

• Bridgeton + Bridgeton the Musical on TikTok- It seems like everywhere I go on TikTok there are different versions of the Bridgeton musical songs which I absolutely love with either different songs that people have written or covers 🙂 I have currently watched the first four episodes so have 4 more to go! I think my favourite characters are Eloise Bridgeton and Penelope Featherington 🙂

September Favourites :)

This month has been filled with a few random favourites that I’m very excited to share with you guys 🙂

1. Far Too Late- Carrie Hope Fletcher: I am a big Carrie Hope Fletcher fan as many of you will know and I am so excited for her to open as Cinderella in the new Andrew Lloyd Webber musical and early this month they released one of the songs from the show and I have been playing it non stop! I absolutely love her voice and it sounds amazing on this song!
2. Its Ok Not To Be Ok- Demi Lovato: I am a big Demi Lovato fan and have been for years since seeing her on the Disney Channel in Camp Rock and Sonny with a Chance and have always loved her music 🙂 I have been so excited for her new music for ages and some is finally being released 🙂 I love that this song was released on National Suicide Prevention day as it has such a good message and the music video is so nice 🙂
3. B-ECO Pets- I actually discovered these dog toys in a garden centre and as a sucker for a cute dog toy decided that I would pick some up for Maya and she absolutely loved them! The two that I got were a Dolphin and a turtle which were part of their ‘Rough and Tough’ range and they are so good! They have lasted Maya ages which is saying something as she usually breaks her toys within a few days and also they’re good for the environment as they are made from recycled plastic 🙂
   

   

   
4. Live Action Mulan- I absolutely love love love the original Mulan so when I heard that the live action was coming out I was so so excited! I love the little nods in this movie to the original but also the changes are amazing as well 🙂 I love the addition of another bad-ass female being part of the hun army but then helping Mulan in the end and also the addition of Mulans sister is so sweet 🙂
