Hi blog. It's been a while... I've had all these blog post ideas but I've been putting them off (sorry). I just came back from Hunter Valley and it was a trip I never knew I needed. Despite the unbearable heat, it was a lovely getaway (I'll go more into detail for a separate post). Anyway, one day I was cleaning my room and put a playlist of random covers on YouTube and I came across this girl's cover of "Can't Take My Eye's Off You". First of all, I love that song and second of all... WOW. Best cover ever! I'm obsessed with her voice combined with the simplicity of the ukulele. I have officially found my new relaxing playlist. Check her out! Here's a few of my favourites:
2018 holds a very special place in my heart. It was a wonderful journey of self discovery and self love. For years I struggled to know my worth and what I deserved and after spending time on my own, I finally learnt how to love myself unconditionally. I focused on surrounding myself with people who brought out the best in me and to let go of things (and people) who no longer add value to my life. It was a year full of laughter and smiles, which is why I am also grateful for all the difficult obstacles I had to experience in order to be where I am today.
I became a stronger person this year and I could tell I was reaching my peak of happiness. It fills my heart with joy thinking about my family, friends and all the new people I've met along the way, and how each and everyone of them have made a positive impact on my growth. This year will forever be my favourite.
If you're still reading this far, I hope you had an amazing year and wish you nothing but happiness for the next.
I watched A Star Is Born last night and... wow... just wow! I heard a lot of good things about the movie and I even looked it up on IMDB to check its rating (as I always do before I watch a movie lol). It lived up to its expectations and I left the cinema with swollen eyes and an empty packet of tissues. One of the best movies I've seen this year, actually I think it's my favourite movie of 2018! My favourite movie of 2017 was obviously The Greatest Showman... anyone that knows me will know that.
I really appreciate movies with good soundtracks and A Star Is Born killed it! I can't get over how raw and emotional the movie was. Can we also just appreciate how amazing Lady Gaga's acting skills are and her mind blowing vocals!!! Don't get me wrong I used to listen to her back in the days, but her genre was electronic dance music, and it was very different in the film to see her sing without all the extra noise. She's amazing and I have so much more respect for her!
Bradley Cooper is incredibly talented - his voice, his acting, the way he directed the movie. What a beautiful man. I'm obsessed with this movie and knowing me I'll probably watch it again in the cinemas and buy it on DVD. I haven't written a post in a while and I was honestly so excited to rave about it on here. I'll insert a video of my favourite song from the movie. The lyrics are spot on and I kinda just want to cry and have it on repeat every day.
Tell me somethin', girl Are you happy in this modern world? Or do you need more? Is there somethin' else you're searchin' for? I'm fallin' In all the good times I find myself longing for change And in the bad times, I fear myself
I sound like a massive movie critic but please go watch it, it's 100% worth it!
