Reintroducing my Disney self

So I thought it would be a good idea to refresh and reintroduce my Disney self as I haven't done this for a long time and I found a template floating around on Instagram stories that was a lot more detailed so I thought I'd use that. It's split into movies, characters, parks and other . Movies Favourite Movie?  Aladdin, I've always this movie and everything about it the music, the characters. It is also my earliest memory of watching a Disney movie.  Least Favourite Movie?  Pinocchio, I really don't like this film I hated it as child especially when the boy turns into a donkey that's traumatising when you're younger. Also hate the Disneyland Paris ride as well that's terrifying to me. Favourite sequel?  The Lion King 2, I love this sequel it's so good, unpopular opinion I prefer the music in this film to the original Lion King. Generally I really like sequels, I used to watch them quite a lot when I was younger. My other favourite is ...

2019 goals

Just like that 2018 was over and we are into 2019, 2018 was a mixed year personally . I’ve never been a goal setter until the past year I feel like writing down what I want to do for this year at least I can look back.  Firstly let’s have a recap at my 2018 goals, first it was FOMO which is fear of missing out I feel like I’ve got so much better at this, I think because I haven’t had the headspace to think about other people it hasn’t bothered me at all what others have been doing, it’s not a competition I have my whole life to do the things I want. Next was Blog and this I haven’t stuck with I like some of the posts I have written this year but again I’ve not put the time and effort and because I’m so busy with work it’s now just an after thought. Driving this I did do something about after a long time looking I finally got a decent instructor through RED driving school in July, I have failed one test and got another coming up, I’m proud of myself because I didn’t think I’d l...

2018 highlights

I cannot believe we are nearly at the end of 2018, it's been a mixed bag of a year so here I thought I'd share the highlights of the year. Winnie the Pooh exhibition To start the year the first thing we did was go to the Winnie the Pooh exhibition at the Victoria and Albert museum which is such a beautiful building. The exhibition was beautifully detailed and we loved going around it and learning and seeing the origins of Winnie the Pooh that AA Milne started. We also loved the merchandise in the shop afterwards and bought a couple of pieces. You can check out my full detailed blog post here: Winnie the Pooh Exhibition   Star Wars: Secrets of the Empire I really didn't know what to think when my friend bought us tickets for this last Christmas, it was a virtual reality Star Wars experience. We needed to help Captain Cassian Andor from Rogue One, infiltrate a base on Mustafa and retrieve some information to help the rebellion. It was so much fun, we had such a l...

Live Action Aladdin reaction

So Disney have decided to make another live action remake of a 90s classic, this time in the form of Aladdin. I love Aladdin it’s my favourite Disney film so for it to be made into live action it’s an exciting prospect, however when they announced Guy Ritchie as director that was questionable as yes he is an amazing director, he’s never directed a film in the same ilk as Aladdin. Next announcement we got was Will Smith as Genie, which is a very daunting prospect but fair play to him taking on this role, I’m intrigued to see how this plays out. For a while this was all the information we knew. Now we have a whole cast announced who are relatively unknown which I think is a good thing because it means they can make the characters their own and use this amazing opportunity as a good thing. We have Mena Massoud playing Aladdin and Naomi Scott playing Princess Jasmine, I cannot wait to see what twist they bring to the characters. In October we had a teaser trailer drop out of nowhere...

Review: Heathers the Musical

On the 20th October I finally saw Heathers the Musical at the Theatre Royal Haymarket in London. After an amazing sell out run at The Other Palace back in September Heathers made the big West End transfer to the Haymarket for a strict 12 week run and they haven’t looked back.  September 1st 1989 and Veronica Sawyer is starting her senior year of high school. All she wants is to get through unscathed and for people to leave her alone. She ends up helping out the it girls of the school called the Heathers, made up of Heather Chandler who is the leader of the group, Heather Duke and Heather McNamara. Due to these actions she is taken in by the Heathers and this is the ideal situation because it means everyone will leave her alone. However, the Heathers are not nice people and Veronica gets sucked into this. Then she meets the mysterious JD who convinces her to get back at the bad people around her and takes drastic actions, which opens a whole can of worms that gets progressive...

Until the Last Star Fades by Jacquelyn Middleton

About a month ago Jacquelyn ran a competition in her private Facebook group for her books, where if you said which character from her other books London Belongs to Me and London Can You Wait?, you wanted as a friend and why then you won an arc copy of her new book Until the Last Star Fades. So, I entered and won a copy for my Kindle, I was so excited to read this as I love her other two books and have reviewed them on here and also was one of my books I'm looking forward to in 2018. Synposis: COULD YOU BE THE ONE WHO CHANGES EVERYTHING? In her senior year at NYU, Riley Hope appears to be on top of the world. With a loving mother who makes Lorelai Gilmore look like a parenting slacker, ride-or-die friends, and a long-time boyfriend destined for the National Hockey League, she puts on a smile for the world. But behind it, she’s drowning. Racked with fears for the future, she battles to stay afloat amid life in the shadows of a heartbreaking illness. And then, Ben...
