My Fave Pictures Of 2018

I have honestly been so crap at taking pictures and videos this year, it's a miracle I actually have some faves to share at all! I had a few very bad mental health months in the second quarter of the year, so I sadly missed a lot of opportunities for memory making - but I've got better as the year progressed.

So here they are, the pictures that show some of my 2018!

These are all things that have made me smile this year, may it be an event or just a new planner! What pictures make up your year? Let me know! Hope you have a great day and keep safe :)

My Fave Movies Of 2018

I've seen a good handful of movies this year, and though not as many at the cinema as I'd have liked, still enough for me to make this list! These are the movies I've really enjoyed this year. In no particular order, as all from memory, here they are!

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD!

The Greatest Showman
I left the cinema singing 'This is me', and promptly went home and bought the CD off iTunes, and then a hard copy from the supermarket for my car. I even went about learning some of the 'this is me' dance routine. Obsessed.
I know it's not a very good representation of the very flawed real life P.T Barnum, but Hollywood changes things for it's own gain, and I liked this glitz version that Hugh Jackman gave us. The songs made a lasting impression on me, as did all the various dance scenes. I get teary eyed during the fire scene, as I loved the relationship between Philip and Anne.

Black Panther
This was amazing. I'm majorly into this movie because of a few things. 1 - Wakanda is darn beautiful. 2 - Women and men were seen as equals, and this was wholly clear when M'Baku called out the people of Wakanda for letting a child be in charge of their tech, not a woman as we would see in most movies. 3 - The Dora Milajie, are a super group of warrior women who are the army of the country, and the protectors of the King. I loved the idea of the women being the army, and a big shoutout to Danai Gurira who was the perfect General. The colours, themes, villains - all perfect.

Avengers: Infinity War
I barely know where to start here. It is, after all, only the first half of longer running movie. There were so many twists and turns. I was not excepting Loki and Heimdall to die so quickly. Or for the way so many of various Marvel cast ended up in scenes together. There were some lighter moments - such as the "Get lost, Squidward" moment - to the downright horrendous moments. Such as Tony being stabbed and the entire cinema collectively gasped loudly, but he then lived. Or when Spider-Man is turning to ash, and his words provoked the cinema to audibly voice with worry.
I cannot wait for the next part of this film - though I have a few worries about what will happen, and it's nothing to do with people dying!

Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again!
I pretty much cried from start to finish with this film! I went into the film knowing that Donna had died as twitter is a hellhole for spoilers. I was blubbering the second that it was mentioned, and then pretty much any time that Donna was mentioned, and the last song pretty much destroyed me, to the point I don't actually remember much, other than Sophie and Donna singing opposite one another.
The rest of the film was incredible. I loved the songs, dance scenes, and the casting of the younger versions of the characters was so spot on - I'm looking at you Lily James!

The Incredibles 2
One film that I could have happily watched on repeat during release week. I've wanted this film for over a decade, and happily can report that I was not disappointed. There were plenty of good moments, and I loved that the kids to be part of the rescue team again!
However, the best moments from all of this was when Jack Jack was on screen. His overnight stay with Edna is meant to be a special feature when it comes to DVD/Blu Ray, so I'm excited to see that. Finding out he has pretty much every superpower going was a fun thing to witness after so long of wondering!

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom
Another Jurassic movie I'm in love with. I was fully excited for the original Jurassic World when it was released, and even more excited when I heard there was going to be a sequel to it. I was hoping to have less island time in the film, and was not disappointed here. I'm glad they have moved off the islands for this film, and hopefully the next one in the trilogy.
Also really intrigued as to what else will crop up, now that we've been introduced to our first human clone - using the same techniques to bring the dinosaurs to life. Maisie's story was a great addition to these movies, and will hopefully give us some new adventures in the upcoming movie.


What films have you enjoyed during 2018, and do we have any of the same one? Let me know! Hope you have a great day and keep safe :)

My Fave TV Shows Of 2018

There have been some amazing TV shows this year, but these ones below, are the ones that I've really looked forward to each week. They may contain spoilers, so beware!

It was really difficult to pick which shows to pick for this list, as I've watched over 20 different shows this year, so here are the ones that made it to to top. May it be because I laughed, cried, cheered - or all three, these are the best of 2018.

Station 19
I found this show back at Easter, and not long before it finished airing. A spin off to Grey's Anatomy, this has been a welcome relief from Scandal, which ended last season. We've got to follow the firefighters, and a police officer through some really good episodes, and that ending to season one, was too amazing for words!

9-1-1
A new show this year from the creators of Glee, this follows the lives of the 118 firestation members, as well as the police, and the 911 emergency center in Los Angeles. I binged the first season during the summer, and fell in love with instantly. Also helps that Oliver Stark, who plays Buck, is a nice piece of eye candy! It's been both stressful, edge-of-seat tense, and funny, in such a way that I've not seen on TV before.

Legends Of Tomorrow
Probably one of the best CW/Arrowverse shows, this show never fails to make my day when I watch it. Quite the underdog compared to it's Arrowverse counterparts, this show is full of fun, laughter, and also some sad moments too. #RIPFirestorm!! I've been enjoying this new season a lot too, especially with the new addition of Constantine to the crew, and the magical creatures that have been showing up.

The Flash
This beats out Arrow and Supergirl, down to the laughs this show brings me. Mainly due to Cisco. Can't say I've loved the many versions of Harrison Wells we've had over the show's few seasons - actually, I'm really bored of the other world versions of him, and though I love the actor, please just write him out for good, or bring Earth 2 Harry back! Loving this new season with the addition of Barry and Iris's daughter Nora, who's come to see them from the future!

Chicago PD/Fire/Med
Couldn't pick a front runner for the #OneChicago franchise, so they all made the cut! PD is the one I get most excited about, but that's down to me having a huge crush on Kevin Atwater actor, LaRoyce Hawkins. *heart eyes*
All three have had amazing seasons this year, and the new fall seasons have been just as impressive. I'm still reeling over Olinsky's death, Gabby leaving the firehouse, and the fact that Med has lost Dr Sarah Reese to another hospital - due to the actress leaving. Can't wait to see how the rest of each season plays out.

RuPaul's Drag Race
Let's recap this one... We had All Stars 3, immediately followed by Season 10 the week after All Stars ended, and in a few days time, All Stars 4 is going to be airing! That's 7 months of Drag Race this year! I've been loving this show for ages now, but this year I feel it it at the height of recognition it deserves. And yes, I've been listening to the remix top 4 raps a lot this year.

What TV shows have you enjoyed the most this year and why? Let me know! Hope you have a great day and keep safe :)

My Fave Songs Of 2018

Music is a big part of my life. I will have it blaring as soon as I get up, and the second I'm home from work. I even hum/sing when I'm working, just to pass time. Nothing makes me happier than a catchy tune to have a dance and sing-along too.

There have been a handful this year that I have really liked, plus a recently re-released one! Here they all are in a handy little playlist for you to check them out yourselves.


If you like any of the songs above, let me know in the comments, as I'm trying to spread some of these about! What songs would make it to your top 10 for the year? Let me know! Hope you have a great day and keep safe :)

Fave Films Of 2017

2017 has been a year for some pretty amazing movies. Though I didn't see all of these in the cinema, I got the rest on DVD and I loved them! These are the films I've loved the most this year, and here's why!

WARNING: This post contains movie spoilers! 

Guardians Of The Galaxy: Vol 2
This is probably one of my top films from this year. I saw the midnight screening of this, and it was amazing! I laughed, cried, cheered, and sat with my jaw open for most of the film. Plus, I think we can all agree, that Baby Groot is one of the cutest CGI beings we've ever seen!

Spider-Man: Homecoming
I was a bit dubious about this movie. I've not been a huge fan of the past two versions, but I felt Tom Holland had promise after his Civil War debut. I found this to be a really good version of Spider-Man, and he's quite like the comics! I really liked the opening where it was like Peter Parker was vlogging the whole Civil War fight.

Wonder Woman
I wanted nothing more than to get dressed up like a warrior and go kick ass after seeing this. Gal Gadot was perfect for this role. I loved her innocence, bravery, kind hearted soul, and her fight scenes. I cried like a baby at the end of this (I was't expecting Steve to die at all!!) I am also in love with Etta Candy, and really hope we might see more of her in flash backs in any future Wonder Woman movies.

Gifted
I had been wanting to see this Chris Evans movie since I heard it was in production. I'm a huge fan of Chris Evans, so I had to see this! It was such a feel-good movie, and had many sad moments too. I watched this on the plane, coming back from Florida - I was sat in my seat trying not to cry too loudly as it's a real tear jerker in places. If you want to see Evans in a non-action hero role, then this is great movie to see him in.

Kingsman: The Golden Circle
I went to see this not long after it came out for a date with M. I hadn't seen the first film at all - other than that awesome Church scene - so this was all new to me. I went home and watched the first one immediately after, and it was just as awesome. This second movie was so amazing. I loved Poppy as the villain, the whole thing with Elton John had me in hysterics, and I got so sad when Merlin sacrificed himself. Such a great movie, and can't wait to get this on Blue Ray so I can watch it again!

Thor: Ragnarok
This is the funniest film I've seen all year. I was actually hurting from laughing by the end of this. I bloody loved Cate Blanchett as Hela - it was soooo good to see her a baddie! The entire fight with Thor and Hulk was awesome, I loved the big battle at the end, and I want to know what Thor will be like, without his trusty hammer.

Star Wars, The Last Jedi
I really liked this movie. Yes, even with the partial nudity! I got to see this a few days before Christmas, so it's the last film I got to see of 2017! I don't see why so many fans don't like it - I thought the story was pretty decent, and I loved that final showdown between Kylo and ole Skywalker. How they're going to write out Leia from the next movie, I don't know, but I hope they do the General justice.


What were your fave movies of this year? Let me know - and tell me if we have any similar ones! Hope you have a great day and keep safe :)

Fave TV Shows Of 2017

I love TV waaaay more than I probably should - plus I found some new shows this year, that I've been captivated by. My sister lets me steal her Netflix account, so she has a lot to answer for... Here are the TV shows I've really enjoyed this year!

WARNING: POST MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS!

Daredevil & Luke Cage
Started watching this around Easter time, and managed to get this, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and then season two all done by about August! I love the characters, plus how awesome are the fight scenes?? Can't wait to see what happens with Elektra and the scary ninjas - I've not quite finished Iron Fist yet, and haven't started the Defenders!

RuPaul's Drag Race
SHANTE YOU STAY! My sister and I started this back in January with a couple of episodes of season two. It started out as a WTF are we watching... But it's become my fave show of the year. I'm now obsessed with Drag Queens, Mama Ru, Michelle Visage, and the killer lip-syncs. I'm in awe of how amazing these Queens are. From their fashion, to their makeup skills, I now want to go see a Drag show just to experience one for myself. I still firmly believe that Ginger Minj was robbed of the crown in season 7, Bianca is my fave winner, and Alyssa Edwards is my QUEEN.

The Flash
This was also a fave from last year, and it's made the list again. It's amazing. I'm in love with Cisco, and this season has been great so far. Plus getting to see how all the characters have grown since the last season has been fab. I loved the massive Earth X crossover with Arrow, Supergirl and Legends - so good!

Chicago PD
I love Chicago Fire/Med as well, but Chicago PD has stepped it up this year. The story lines have been beyond incredible, and I've been on the edge of my seat. I'm still not over Erin leaving, but I'm enjoying the new faces in Intelligence. I've also got a huge crush on Atwater 💖

How To Get Away With Murder
This show just keeps getting more gripping. At the start of the year we found out it was Wes who was killed in the house explosion, and then we see Annalise's decent into alcoholism. The how story arc of her drinking has been handled really well so far, but I think it won't be long until it all falls apart for her again. I have to say, Viola Davis is such a fantastic actor. I could literally watch her for hours!

The Gifted
This has been a show I've been watching with M each week, and the pair of us love it. Sometimes we're a couple of episodes behind, but we then get to see two in a row. Bonus! I've loved the characters through this so far, and can't wait to see how the rest of the season pans out.

South Park
Another new show of this year! M has been a fan of this for years, so he wanted to show me some episodes. I'm hooked. It's so rude and on topic of a lot of what is going on in the world, while being funny with - in a sweary cartoon way. I'm still laughing at Cartman's '10 Dorra' outrage during the Cock Magic episode, and the Sons of Witches episode was so funny!


There are at least another 20+ shows that I've watched this year, but these are the ones I've really got into this year. What TV shows have you been loving in 2017? Let me know! Hope you have a great day and keep safe :)

2016 Film Faves

I love movies, and I've seen so many this year! I beat my anxiety and went to the cinema so many times - meaning I got to see a load of new releases when they came out, instead of having to wait for the DVD! It's been hard to narrow it down to just 6 films, but these are the top of my list from the epic films that have been released this year!

This movie was hysterical and I'm so glad it's Reynolds portraying him! I wasn't 100% sure about Deadpool from the little snippet we saw of him from one of the X-Men movies many years ago - but thankfully the 'new' version of him is so much better!

This film was so tense! I was team Capt all the way, even though I love Iron Man! It was such a good film and loved how it ended. Plus it introduced us to the new Spiderman, who I thought was pretty awesome!

I had mixed feelings about this when it was in production, but the trailer made me feel better. And then I saw the film.

Loved it!! I really hope we see all the characters a lot over the 5 movie franchise - even the lovely No-Maj Jacob! I also really want a Niffler... 

I went to see this with Cameron on the 22nd, as he'd been wanting to see it since it had been announced! I like Star Wars, but I'm not as big a fan of it as Cam is! I was thoroughly confused with where this story fit into the saga, but thank God my boyfriend explained it to me before I watched it!

It was really good and albeit a bit confusing to me for the first 20 minutes, it really kicked in with some action and I loved the characters! Such a good film and it really did fix the franchise's biggest plot hole!

Having been a Harley Quinn fan since about October 2015, I was super excited about this movie as it was all the baddies in one movie - plus we'd be getting a new Joker. There were some parts of the film that bugged me and made no sense, but I still loved it. I loved Margot's version of Harley, and Leto's version of the Joker, even if he is a bit different to the ones we've had in the past.

I was obsessed with the first movie, and this was no different. I did miss Isla Fisher, but the way they handled her not being around any more, and giving us Lizzy Caplan as a new Horseman, it was awesome. I watched this five times in a week, that's how much I loved it. I just really enjoy magic!!

Plus, finally seeing Daniel Radcliffe in something other than the Potter movies and a non-scary film, was just such a nice thing to watch on the big screen!

What have been your fave films for the year 2016? Let me know! Hope you have a great day and keep safe :)
