11 Ways To Feel Festive This Season

So I know not everyone finds it as easy as I do to get into the Christmas spirit so here’s 11 things I do to keep my Christmas spirits high (it was going to be 10 things but I thought of an 11th whilst typing). 

Christmas Movie Advent

So I'm in a group on Facebook full of people who love 'geeky' things like Harry Potter, Doctor Who, Marvel, etc. and one of the people in the group gave me a brilliant idea of a Christmas movie advent. It literally involves watching a different Christmas movie each day starting on December 1st up until December 24th, now we're already a few days in so if you want to join in on this you may have to catch up or do a '12 days of Christmas movies' or something to that effect.

The Doctor Who Experience

This post is going to mainly be photos, I know there are a lot of people who never got the opportunity to go to the Doctor Who Experience in Cardiff before it closed its doors for good. Luckily because my dad is a massive, super fan and I'm an amazing daughter I bought us tickets to go on the very last day - 9th September 2017. 

London Film and Comic Con - July '17

I did mention in my last blog post (in August, I'm sorry) that I would be writing a post about LFCC and here it is.

Cassandra Clare & Holly Black book signing, London - Aug '17

I MET CASSANDRA CLARE AND HOLLY BLACK!!!

Meal Prep Sunday and Healthy living

After months of saying 'I'm going to start being more healthy' 'I want to lose a little bit of weight' and not doing anything about it, I have finally kicked my butt into action and got some fresh motivation. I've been noticing more and more lately just how much weight I have put on over the last few years and, honestly, I've never actively done anything about it until now. I genuinely love it when I see women who are so comfortable with their body and how they look (no matter what their size) but I'm just not one of those people and it's getting me down more and more as time goes by.

2017 trip to Finland

So as my new annual tradition I travelled to Finland to visit Tessa and Tara. I appear to be going there earlier and earlier in the year; 2015 was in July, 2016 was in June and this year was April-May.
This year I went there to celebrate Vappu which for those of you who don't know is May Day. The first of May is celebrated by everyone but especially the students, who past and present wear the white graduation caps (You'll see them in the pictures below)
The traditional drink (non-alcoholic) is called Sima, if you saw it you would not want to drink it, honestly it does not look appealing but tastes so much better than it looks and they also have a traditional snack which I do not know the name of or what it is but it tastes like deep fried sugary goodness and I loved it.

Book Review: The Girl Of Ink & Stars by Kiran Millwood Hargrave

It was the cover that first made me want to read this book, then I read the blurb and felt compelled to buy the book. Boy am I glad I did.

Shadowhunters Tag

So if you know me you know that I am a *little* bit obsessed with every single thing about the Shadowhunter series (yes I am including the film adaptation too). So I felt this was an appropriate blog post for me to do.

The Procrastinating Beauty Blogger Tag

So Victoria did this on her blog (which you can find here) she tagged me to do this as well and I am only just getting round to typing this up now.

Make Up Revolution 3rd Birthday Party

Battle of the Make Up Brands

So I only posted yesterday, however I needed to share this rant with you all, so I apologise for posting two days in a row. 

Feminist Vs. Feminazi - Learn the difference

So I have noticed more and more lately the term 'Feminazi' is being used to describe every feminist and to be quite honest I am sick and tired of it. 

I am a Feminist. I am not a Feminazi.

My ultimate music playlist...

So I go through a lot of phases with my music. I can go four days straight listening to the same one song on repeat, then I'll go weeks with having my entire iTunes library on repeat. For the past week the songs I've had on constant repeat are Ed Sheeran's new album Divide plus All Time Low's new single, Dirty Laundry (which I saw them perform live 5 days ago, it was AMAZING!)
