Frozen!

So I think I've found a new Disney favourite. You can never EVER be too old for Disney, and it never fails to make me 'aw' and smile at the screen like a soppy idiot! The new film Frozen is absolutely spectacular. My friend, Flo, had been nagging me to see it for the past month and after watching it with my Mum last week it has left me humming and singing 'Let it go!' ever since! I loved the story line and thought it reminded me of me and my sister. I'd say it's just as amazing as/if not better than Tangled, so if you love that then you're gonna love this! Without giving anything away, it's a lighthearted film suitable for everyone which you'd be a fool to miss! Speak soon, Alex x P.S. You know it's a good Disney film when your eyes start to water... I even bought the songs...

Creamy Candy Craze

Hey everyone! I always thought it was pointless wasting money on smelly stuff which literally ended up down the plug hole, however these last few months have made me realise how completely wrong I was. Since starting sixth form, I've started purchasing the odd Lush product (which I never thought I'd end up doing), and I have found something which is absolutely amazing - the 'Creamy Candy' bubble bar. Not only is the cute flower and pastel pink design just adorable, but the smell is just so... it's just one of those delicious scents (hence the vanilla extracts), where you could almost eat it as it just smells so good. It's so sweet and girly, yet subtle, relaxing and not overpowering. It was by far the most delicate and lovely scent of all the bubble bars in the shop! After receiving the Penguin bubble bar from Lush for Christmas, I'd decided that bubble bars are a wiser option to go for rather than bath bombs, especially when you're prone to dry s

Tourist Snaps

Hey everyone! The other day I was casually walking through town, when it suddenly hit me that there were so many tourists in the city taking pictures. This is not a problem whatsoever, however when you realise that part of your body (whether it's the back of your head, foot or face) is in one of these pictures, I immediately wonder where it is actually gonna end up. Just think how many pictures we are all in without even realising! A couple in China, for example, could be reflecting on a lovely picture of them that was taken on Lendal bridge in York, and then they'll look closer and see this random ginger girl in the background, pulling a not so attractive facial expression, whilst trying to prevent the sun in her eyes - this girl, of course, being me. So next time you go shopping, or walk through a busy public place, watch out for those tourist snaps - you never know where you'll end up! Speak soon, Alex x

Tacky Teddies?

Hey everyone! Is it just me, or has Valentine's Day become some sort of massive hype this year? It's so much more of a bigger thing than it used to be (okay I sound like an old woman right now), but why do we all make such a big deal out of it? I think when you're single, you realise how much lovey dovey shizzle there is everywhere, but it just makes me think; why on earth would you spend so much money on some cheap tacky teddy bear when you could buy a beautiful bag... or dress... or even just a tasty box of chocolates for your girlfriend?! By the way guys, I am not against Valentine's Day whatsoever. I'm all for sending cards and sharing the love... however I will never be a lover of the tacky teddies. Speak soon! Alex x
