5 Films You Should Be Watching This Christmas

Hey guys! With Christmas literally just around the corner, I figured now would be a great opportunity to plan my Christmas movies for this year. Y'know, just in case they're not on TV or if what they actually put on over Christmas is a load of twaddle.. So yeah, I thought I'd make a list of the Christmas films which you must watch over Christmas, regardless of whether the people who run TV channels view them or not! Let us begin..

Elf (2003)

  Let's be honest, everyone loves Buddy - best elf ever!

The Holiday (2006)

Absolutely love this film, can't go wrong with a good RomCom - especially when they blast out Mr Brightside ♥

Miracle on 34th Street (1994)

Whoever says Santa isn't real has no trust in the big man. A lump of coal for you, nonbelievers!

Love Actually (2003)

Now, this year will be the first time I will actually watch this film all the way through.. But I'll trust my best friend's judgement when she says it's amazing

The Muppett Christmas Carol (1992)

My childhood Christmas' all summed up! I remember having this recorded on a video - that shows how old it is..

However, if you fancy hitting the big screens anytime soon, I would definitely recommend you go and watch Disney's latest release, Frozen (2013)

Such an amazing film and fun for all the family. I saw this a few days after it was released and instantly fell in love with it.In particular, the loveable snowman called Olaf. I love him so much, my brother and his girlfriend got me a huuuuge Olaf for Christmas.. Cheers, bro!

Enjoy your Christmas movie selection, guys! :-)

2013 | The Review

Hey guys! So, another year is coming to an end as we get closer to the New Year and even closer to Christmas. Amazing how quickly this month has passed, yet I still haven't finished my Christmas shopping - not my most organised month!

With the new year in sight, I started thinking. So much has happened this year and I have learnt so many life lessons. But it's safe to say 2013 has been a very successful and, in a way, proud year for me. I've accomplished so much more than I thought I would and gone above and beyond my own expectations of myself which has been a real shock to me. Normally I'm kind of a negative nelly and figure that someone is always better. Well, this year I've proven otherwise for myself and proven I am capable of what I want to do!

What I've accomplished this year:

• Got an A for my first year of Childcare
• Passed my driving test first time
• Went to my first festival
• Chosen my career path
• Discovered myself as a person

 

So, as well as accomplishments, I've learnt so many life lessons this year. Admittedly, I've learnt some of these lessons in a much harder way than others. Wish I hadn't, but hey ho - that's life. So here we go!

This years life lessons:

• People will try and ruin your happiness, it's your job to prove them wrong
• Money magically disappears - mine normally disappears in New Look!
• Make yourself known and people will remember you
• Some people will leave without a trace
• It's your life, you make the rules and choose the paths
• You can do anything you put your mind to 
• I can only trust a handful of people
• Some so-called 'friends' aren't going to be there forever - it's your job to find people who are willing to stand by you
• Friendships can be recovered, no matter how damaged

So yeah, I think this year has been insightful to say the least. Some events have been less appreciated which we won't go into, but I have learnt so much about me, myself and my life this year. Personally, I feel like my life is just beginning. Soon, I'll be out there in the real world. Working, living. Damn, that's scary.

Merry Christmas, guys! Have an amazing week and an epic New Year - see you on the other side :)

Pandora part two - The Wishlist

Hey guys! With Christmas coming up and Pandora emails piling in, I thought it would be a good idea to create my Pandora wish list (useful for my family and friends who read my blog - hint hint). With the large range that Pandora provide, there is soooo much choice to choose from which is a royal pain for someone as indecisive as me. So, I've narrowed it down to a few per 'category' (e.g. animals etc). Let us begin!

(Note: All images are sourced from http://www.pandora.net/en-gb) 

Animals

So far, I already have the tortoise charm on my bracelet which is gorgeous! But I think he needs a few friends to keep him company..

To keep him company, I chose these: the hedgehog, the cow and the giraffe. I just think these particular charms look to sweet!


Stars

Me being me, I really like stars. My nan asked me the other day which sort of 'theme' my bracelet was and, I have to say, some of the star charms are so nice!

Clips and chains


So far, I only have two clips and, personally, I wouldn't mind being able to change them. I also love the idea of having a safety chain on my bracelet! When I first got the bracelet, I was so worried it was going to come off that I wouldn't wear it. I soon lost that irrational fear but, just to be safe, I think a safety chain would be useful!

Round charms

I haven’t got any round charms on my bracelet yet, so I thought I would add some to my collection! Plus, a little bit of colour couldn’t do much harm so why not.

 

Other charms

Finally, we have the rest of the charms I like but couldn’t put into categories without this post going on and on and on… So, here are the rest!
