A Star Is Born

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!

Much love, Jen.

Current room inspo

Lately I've been feeling the urge to change up my room (again). I blame pinterest! Whenever I scroll through it I get all these new ideas and save them for later. It eventually builds up and I end up having this entire list of decor I want to buy. For a few months I've actually been satisfied with the way my room looked. I would describe it as minimalist and chic. But I think it's time to add a few more accent pieces and I've been really feeling the boho look, such as woven baskets and rugs, plants, macrame wall hangings etc. I'll show you what I mean by inserting pictures of the things I hope to get soon.

1. Himalayan salt lamp

2. Macrame wall hanging pattern

3. Woven baskets

4. New bedding ( this is absolute goals)

The last two images were from - my.burleigh.reno on Instagram. I adore her style and I hope one day I can decorate my dream home with as much passion as she does. For now I'll just keep decorating my very tiny space of a room.

Much love, Jen.

Spring has sprung

Well thank god winter is over! As much as I enjoyed sleeping in the cold all snuggled up, it was starting to get a little depressing staying indoors majority of the time. Winter flew by so quickly and I'm glad I accomplished a few of my goals within those 3 months. I finally got an internship in my field and it's great that I'm getting a feel of what it's like and whether its a career I want to continue to pursue in the future. So far I can see myself staying in marketing and progressing, everyday is different and I like creating content and using my creativity. I also picked up a pole dancing class and I actually really enjoyed it! I'm still waiting for my gym membership to end so I can start going to pole regularly (because it ain't cheap).

And so spring is here and we're half way through September already... I can already tell summer is going to be crazy hot! The other day was 30 degrees and I couldn't help but feel soooo happy. It felt amazing feeling the warm sun and being able to wear dresses again. I cannot wait for more outdoor adventures. There's so many thing I want to do and now I can start planning to do them :)

This post doesn't exactly have a purpose, just a mini life update since I'm trying to write at least twice a month. All I can say is life has been swell and there's so many more things to look forward to in spring! Note* my 24th birthday is actually coming up too so here's to growing up and becoming wiser! Stay tuned for my next post (a list of places I want to visit sometime in the near future).

Much love, Jen.
