Inside Out.

Hi Guys!

Inside out is a genius film invented in the amazing mind of Pete Docter (the one who tugs at our heart strings in everything he writes, for example, UP.) like many of Pixars other movies Inside Out makes us and children believe that our mind isn't what it seems, and in fact we have five little people things running round our head controlling our thoughts, we have Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust.

Inside Out lets us into the mind of a young girl called Riley, her family pull her from her roots and move her to a different part of the country, and we see how these little things in her mind cope, in the first half of the movie, its not as light hearted as usual from Pixar but compared to the second half, this is as light hearted as it gets, you don't really get to form an attachment to any character as the scenes swap from one to another very quickly, which sometimes left me wanting more from said scene but thats something you come to terms with eventually.

Initially you think Inside Out is going to be another childs film you are going to enjoy for the pure factor you now understand all them jokes you wouldn't have if you were a kid, but it comes to light that this is a deep and emotional film which will in toll help children come to terms with their emotions and how everyone has them and these feelings are normal, which I think is a major score fro Pixar, in todays age we need something reassuring like that for our future generation, growing up is such a confusing time for children, be this from feelings to emotions they may be hiding, this film highlights, its okay to be happy or its okay to be sad or fear things in life, because thats normal. So well done to you Pixar *claps hands*

I do feel however children may become bored during some scenes because they are quite deep, although I feel this will be one of those films that children will watch over and over again so it will get to them eventually. I do feel this will open doors for some children who are getting to that age of feeling fear, anxiety, depression and anger or even too much happiness and want to talk to their parents about these feelings from seeing it on the big screen.

I would rate this a massive 9/10 and how amazing Pixar have been to make a film to ressure children having emotions are perfectly fine, its also a good watch and didnt feel myself getting bored at all.

Until next time

TRYING AMERICAN CANDY!

Hi Guys!

I've seen alot of YouTube videos of 'British Youtuber tries American Candy' so I thought I'd give it a go. Although its not on Youtube because I am so not confident enough to do that, I thought I'd give them a lighthearted quick review.

Me and my boyfriend went onto Amazon and decided to get a miniature box of American Candy, I didn't want to get full sized one, because theyre way too expensive and I wuld for sure go into a diabetic coma. (I havent tried all in the box am waiting for Luke to do the other bits, Mom and Dad joined in on this one though.)

This box was £7.99 online from Amazon, which they just posted through the letter box, and to be honest even though they are only small you do get loads! SO here we goooo;

Jolly Ranchers;

I didn't really like these, they looked so flourescent which makes me worry what chemicals were used to make them like it and I thought they actually tasted reall chemically, which was such an off put. All in all I gave them 5/10





Laffy Taffy;

These are SO much better than the Jolly Ranchers and by far are one of my favourites, they were so easy to chew and the flavour brought back nostalgic memories of going to our shop after school getting sweets, loveeeeed it.
I'd actually give these a 9/10.





Reese's Pieces.

EWWWWW. I HATED these, as soon as I put them in my mouth I spat it out, I don't like peanut butter but I thought as they were mini they would be okay, but tasted gritty vile and honestly made me feel so sick. Sorry guys!!
0/10!





Junior Mints;

AHHHH these were my FAVOURITE I had to put them back because Luke wants to try them or I would've eaten them all, they taste like the English after eights, I don't know if they have them any where else, but I know I'm going to end up buying more because they were AMAZING.
Fully giving them 10/10! WOO.



Mr Goodbar;

Same as before I hate peanuts, I didn't have a clue what these were either, the chocolate (which I believe is Hersheys, which is a BIG let down) left a chemical taste in my mouth afterwards but I do think if I liked peanuts I would like it, but I don't so, EW.
5/10.




Nerds;

These were so unexpected, I kind of have a feeling we have these in England, but they were amazing, reminded me of something I used to eat but I cant remember what, I thought they'd be chewy but they're not, they just awesome!
8/10





Tootsie Roll;

NO, NO, NO AND NO. I am reallllllly disappointed by these, honestly so vile and made me feel so sick. I am upset as I had high expectations.
0/10








All in all my little experience was an emotional rollercoaster, and some of the stuff I thought I'd like I didn't and the stuff I didn't did. Although I did get one thing right, I DONT LIKE PEANUTS.

I'm sorry, but hersheys has nothing on Cadburys.

I will be trying the rest of whats in the box with Luke next week sometime, so if you liked this I'll do another.

Until Next time

Always the bridesmaid.

Hi guys,

I read a really good book a few weeks ago (within days it was that good)  'Always the Bridesmaid' by Lindsey Kelk, I'd never heard of this author before but I was browsing on Amazon, buying all the John Green books I haven't already got and this popped up so I thought, 'why not?!' when they arrived I decided it was going to be the first one I read.

From the first page I was hooked, its up to date with its references, which I love, like the comments it made, made me chuckle because it was so relatable. The sarcasm was on point, I'm a VERY  sarcastic person which made it even better. And how she has so many little stories within one I love. I felt I related to Mads loads and I found myself to love the character as I could see a bit of myself in her personality

It takes unexpected twists and turns, makes you laugh out loud and also makes you go 'awh' I love the way its set out, I dont want to say how because it will ruin the book.

But if you want light hearted comedy, with a bit of romance, something sad in it this is the book for you. And I HIGHLY recommend it.

All in all I give it a 10/10 :) I'm also planning on investing in some more Lindsey Kelk books.

(Im currently reading Fan Girl when Im finished I shall write a review)

Until Next time

WEEK ONE.

Hi guys!

I did write in January or February about my goals for 2015, and one of them which has been a goal of mine since I was about 15 is to lose weight and tone up, I haven't been doing it because I haven't had the motivation or anything so I have gained over 1 and a half stone, which for me is a horrible thing, I couldn't look at myself in the mirror and I dreaded going out at the weekend because of how 'fat' I was.

Anyway, recently a lovely lady added me on facebook, and at first I was a bit taken back as it was for slimming and stuff like that, I read her posts and looked at her before and after pictures and was so inspired I decided to message her, Lisa then went on to explain that its Juice Plus and all the benefits it has for me, so I thought, sod it, I'm going to go for it.

I placed my order and started to make a change to my life style;

For the first week we have to detox, and oh my god was that difficult, I used to eat crap food all day everyday, so to go from that to 3 clean meals a day with fruit was so difficult and I even had temper tantrums at some points, I even had a dream about Pizza, and wanted pizza so much that I went in a mood for the rest of the day. Other than that I got into a routine of getting up at about 8:30/9:00am to have breakfast (fruit/yoghurt) then eat nothing till lunch which would be fruit with maybe a bit of ham from the deli counter at Tesco.

The biggest thing I struggled with throughout the week was cooking dinners, you see all these fad diets and just see plain chicken and rice and I COULD NOT do that, nothing more upsets me than plain food, so I've been asking my Dad to teach me how to cook properly, chicken and tomato sauce made from scratch, or chicken and chickpeas in organic gravey ect ect.

ANYWAY, even though its been a tough week of detoxing and my shakes finally arrived (which I've had to drink with rice milk) I am so happy with what I have lost...

Nearly 8lbs in one week and 1 inch from my hips and half an inch from my waist.

Ive decided Im going to document my journey, either for me to be like a form of diary entry to look back on or to give anyone else motivation. Im feeling happier, and my confidence is through the roof at the moment. And its only been a week!

Walking frees the mind.

Hi guys.

I went for a nice long walk the other day, just to make me feel less shitty and anxious because I'd had a crappy weekend with high levels of stress and anxiety.

It is said walking/exercise helps release any anxiety.

I decided to take my camera with me and take some photos, enjoy!

I understand that this might not be what some people like-'URGH just pictures of tree's' but I enjoy going out and taking photos of something beautiful.

I am doing a different blog post on Monday but you'll have to wait and see for that!

I do recommend going on a nice walk if your feeling a bit low really lifted my spirits!
Until next time

I GOT A NEW CAMERA WOO

Hi Guys,

I got a new camera yesterday the Sony DSC Hx50 I honestly just saw it for a good price and thought sod it, Im really enjoying taking photos at the moment, and even though my phone is good its not the best.

The bottom one is just a funny one I thought I'd add because it makes me chuckle every time.

But I am loving this camera and it is so easy to use, I mean if I can use it anyone can.

I got it for £115.00 which I thought was a good price for a 20.4 Mega Pixel camera and the zoom is amazing.

Until next time

Fast and furious 7

Fast and furious 7 review.

(warning will contain spoilers!!)

hi guys, 

as you all know the 7th part of the fast and furious saga came out last month, I hadn't seen the other 6 prior to seeing this one but I'd promised the other half I would go and see it, so I did and in all honesty it wasn't what I was expecting.

When it initially started I thought 'oh here we go, another boy film full of cars and violence' and to be honest I wasn't wrong, but within 3 minutes or so I was hooked, and even though I hadn't watched the other 6 I could understand what was going on with a bit of prompting from the other half. Even though I do find they sexualise the women in the film and its not so tastefully done I can get over that.

All at the same time it pushes your emotions to breaking point but keeps you on the edge of your seat with how intense it is, even though you thought you knew how it was going to end, you were always surprised with the story line and honestly I don't think it can get better than flying through 2 skyscrapers in a really expensive car but they did it and it gave me the biggest adrenaline rush I have experienced. 

All the actors were phenomenal and played their characters so well, made it watchable and interesting. I didn't cringe at any of the acting and The Rock was MASSIVE, I couldn't get over how big he has got, he was my favourite character even though you see so little of him compared to the others.

Getting onto the sad part, unfortunately as everyone knows Paul Walker died halfway through filming, I feel they did Paul so much justice the way they ended the film by writing him out to become a family man, it was a lovely tribute for who I would assume would've been a lovely man. Respectful also as I heard rumours he was going to be killed off, which I wouldn't have agreed with. The ending did break my heart and I was sobbing like a big girl, even the man who I didn't know sitting next to me asked 'Do you have hay fever or summit'  because I was so emotional. The work with the CGI for the rest of the filming was also very clever and so subtle.

Although I have never watched the fast and furious saga, I have started watching them and thoroughly enjoyed watching the film and starting watching them from the beginning, I do recommend people go see it, or buy the boxset on DVD and wait for the 7th to come out.

I know this is a ramble but I just wanted to write a review type thing.

All in all I would give this film a 8/10.

Until next time.

Abbi
