January Favourites

Image result for these are a few of my favorite things

As January is FINALLY ending, (it seems to be going on forever), I thought I would share some of my winter favourites. These include things I've worn, listened to and watched. 

Programmes/Films 

Since it has been cold outside I have not been going out as much and have instead watched multiple programmes on Netflix. However, if I have gone out, It would have been most likely to  watch a film with my family as I came home from University for Christmas. These are the shows/ films that have been my absolute favourite things to watch. 

  • 'The Good Place' (only just recently started watching it and so far so good). You can view it on Netflix or Channel 4 as I know they have recently just started showing episodes. It's about this woman who has been sent to 'The Good Place,' however she should not be there, the series explains how she succumbs and becomes a good person in the afterlife. 
  • Glass ~ The film is about three men who think they have superpowers, however the institute  they are in have been brainwashing them into believing their powers do not exist. These three men have to make people believe that they do in fact have superhero powers, and how the institute has not worked. 

Music 

I only have one music favourite because I could not stop listening to it! I kid you not, I've watched the video on repeat and when the song was released I swear the song was literally the only thing I listened to on that day!!

7 Rings ~ This song, uugghh, what can I say about this song, it's just awesome. I love the pink Japanese aesthetic Ariana Grande has going on, and I love the fact that she has many genres in this song such as R&B and pop. She even raps a few verses as well. I love this song and cannot wait to get her album I have already pre-ordered it!

Fashion 

Fashion has always been important to me, but I made a resolution on the 1st of January that each day I would wear a killer outfit. I ordered from Misguided and bought a few things from Topshop to help me feel like each outfit I wore stood out, so without further ado I will share some of my favourites that I have loved wearing. 



I have linked every item of clothing for you so you can check out my favourite pieces for yourselves.



Hope you enjoyed this post

Netflix Review: 'Sex Education'

'Sex Education', is a series on Netflix comprising of 8 episodes. It features ASA Butterfield (Otis), Ncuti Gatwa (Eric), Emma Mackey (Maeve) and Gillian Anderson (Dr Jean). The show revolves around Otis giving sex advice to students at his school, while at home his mother is always trying to connect with him, trying to answer why he is sexually incompetent, (his mother is a Sexual Therapist). 
While trying to have the ‘best time ever’ at Sixth Form, Otis and Eric have a rollercoaster of a journey at Sixth Form, as Otis sets up a sex clinic as a business which  Maeve suggests. While all Eric wants to do is to try to become popular and fit in. 

However, through their time at school, Eric gets punched to the face due to his sexuality ( he is gay),  becomes isolated, this behaviour gets him suspended from school. While Otis grows to like Maeve (who has been hooking up with the head boy named Jackson), the two of them grow apart as they have not been spending time together as Eric realises that Otis wants to spend time with Maeve more than him! 
The pair (Otis and Eric) realise they miss each other and forgive each other towards the end of the series, but Sex Education is more than just the friendship between the two guys and the possible relationship with Maeve. 

'Sex Education' is a great show as it showcases different issues such as sexuality, self-esteem, confidence, encouragement, friendships and its pitfalls as well as making people aware about sexual education. 
I can not recommend this series enough as there are so many twists and turns which keep you gripped, combining comedy with the seriousness of real life! I feel like this is the first series to answer all the questions that you have been thinking about and were afraid to ask, I cannot wait for the second series! It is unlike anything that I have even watched before, it’s just so fun, genuine and heartwarming!

Netflix Review: 'You'

Image result for you netflix poster





Hi guys,  today I will be reviewing a Netflix show which is called 'You'. You might have already heard of this show as there are many reviews on the Net, however, you may not have watched the show and have just read the book. If you have watched the show, that's great, but if you're still wondering what 'You' is all about, here are my thoughts about it. 

I first heard of 'You' as I was scrolling through books to read also I think someone had mentioned it on their YouTube channel but I'm not sure. Before I bought the book, I first read the reviews as I wanted to see what everyone else had thought of it; and because everyone else liked it and the plot seemed good, I decided to order it from Waterstones.

Once I received the book, I was reading it non-stop, the book by Caroline Kepnes surrounds this bookshop worker named Joe Goldburg who develops a crush on one of his customers named Beck. Further on into the book it covers how Joe's creepiness wins Beck around while Beck has no idea about his alter ego. 
I mean Joe does everything to get Beck's attention which includes killing her ex lover, killing her best friend and tracking her on her devices (which she does not know about). However, he justifies it by saying it was all in her best interests. 
Unfortunately, I stopped reading the book as it was too slow for me to get through and the psychological darkness was really draining. Therefore, it was a Godsent when Netflix revealed they were going to be making it into a series. (Sidenote: I am more of a watcher of programmes than a reader). 

'You' on Netflix has some big names in the show which included Penn Badgley starring as the infamous Joe Goldburg, while Shay Mitchell was starring as Peach Salinger (one of Beck's friends). I knew it was going to be worth the wait. 
'You' finally came onto Netflix and Season 1 comprised of 10 episodes totalling 45 mins each episode. The show was even more darker and creepier than I had imagined, Badgley played Joe's weird alter ego really well, while Mitchell played the pretentious Peach Salinger effortlessly.  
Netflix even switched the show up a bit by introducing the audience to Paco and his family who are non-exsistent in the book. I believe they did this to show the audience what influence Joe might have on Paco when he grows up, similar to the relationship that Mr Mooney and Joe had when he was a child, (however this is just my interpretation). 

Finally, I love how 'You' makes you almost feel sympathetic for Joe, which is something Badgley finds very off-putting (search his Twitter responses). 

I'm so looking forward to Season 2 after that cliffhanger (If you don't know what I'm talking about you must watch it).

Lush Review: Godess Bath Bomb



With jasmine absolute, sandalwood oil, Oudh and Fairtrade Colombian cocoa butter, doesn't the Goddess bath bomb sound so good?

Inspired by Ariana Grande's song 'God is a Woman', this vegan bath bomb is a purple delight. 
The bath bomb's iridescent purple and blue colours ensure that your bath is filled with pastel colours as soon as the bath bomb has been dropped into the bath. 

Once the bath bomb has stopped fizzing and has finally dispersed purply blue tones, the bath water turns into a glittery purple dream! 
The smell is absolutely amazing, and leaves your skin smelling soft and feeling smooth. 

It is one of my favourite bath bombs and I am so glad it's not limited edition as I wouldn't know what to do without it. I would recommend it to anyone, it smells wonderful and leaves the bath water looking magical. 

If you don't have this bath bomb, I really recommend that you get this as it's just spectacular!
