Recently I went to see the Theory of Everything in cinema. It stars Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones and is the story of Stephen Hawking and his wife Jane Hawking. I really enjoyed this film. I didn't have any real expectations for the film as I hadn't seen that many reviews, but heard from others it was good and it's got quite a...
Recently I bought MAC's Diva lipstick because I wanted a darker lip to wear in the colder months, as most people do. It cost £15.50 and is a matte finish formula. My only other MAC matte lipstick (so far) is Ruby Woo, which as much as I love is so drying on the lips and is a little off putting. I was so...
So I like my sleep. I am a night owl and go to bed late and like to snooze about 20 times before begrudgingly getting up in the mornings. This can often make me in a rush to do my make up, and in times like those it's all down to a simple eye. Recently I've been loving just using the shade Nooner from the...
As soon as my boyfriend showed me the trailer for Whiplash I really wanted to see it. It had a great trailer which looked exciting plus it's received a whole load of award buzz. This film met and exceeded my pretty high expectations and I absolutely loved it. Whiplash tells the story of student and ambitious drummer Andrew (Miles Teller) who attends one of the...
One of my favourite things to eat is tuna. I love the taste, it's quick and easy to put with something and you can make great salads with it. I often include it in a salad if I'm not having chicken and this recipe is one of my favourites as it's quick, simple and you can make quite a bit (like myself) and...
Last week was the Golden Globes and the kick start of awards season. When I was searching through the dresses for my best dressed list here I found myself slightly mesmerised by Jessica Chastain and her gorgeous golden make up. I decided to take inspiration from it and try to recreate it. First I primed my eyelid with Urban decay's primer potion and blended...
Last night I went to see Foxcatcher with Danny. It stars Steve Carrell, Mark Ruffalo and Channing Tatum, and is about team Foxcatcher and head coach John Du Pont, who hires two brothers to help him reach Olympic gold in wrestling. The trailer for this movie was tense and exciting, and while at moments it was that, it was a lot slower and...
Let me begin with telling you an awkward story about me. While in my last year of primary school, I got my boobs at once. As far as I remember, they just were there and I absolutely hated it. Bras were uncomfortable and the tiny one's for when you are first beginning weren't cutting it for me. It was annoying when running around...
So the golden globes were last night and it kicked off the awards season. I love Tina Fey and Amy Poehler and thought they were fantastic hosts (again!). I'm a little surprised with some of the winners such as Grand Budapest beating Birdman but I enjoyed both films, however I think it's definitely set a good look at what we might be able...
In a perfect world I would wake up each morning, get ready for the day and sit at my big vanity and open out my drawers, fingers touching over various Tom Ford, Laura Mercier and Charlotte Tilbury palettes to use before looking through my big collection of MAC lipsticks each in their own little pot and colour co-ordinated. Unfortuantely, I live in a...
Last night I saw my first film of 2015 which was Birdman, starring an array of actors including Michael Keaton, Edward Norton and Emma Stone. Years after finishing the superhero series Birdman, actor Riggan Thompson has written, directed and starring in his own play, while we see the behind the scenes of his life aswell. Probably not a blockbuster to many, Birdman is...
2015 for me started off with a hangover, wetherspoons breakfast and being in the company of great friends. I really enjoyed it and definitely felt happy to the hellish year that was 2014. Last year I posted here about my resolutions for 2014, and while I didn't really keep two (healthy and diary) I definitely worked on this blog and consider it a...
