Friday favs

I decided to start a little thing i will call Friday favs where i will share the thigs ive been loving this week.

Tv & Movies

For tv i have been completely addicted to Scandal. By the makers of greys anatomy (one of my favourite shows) scandal is a political drama. Now politics are usually not my thing at all but there is so much more to this show than just politics and i just get sucked in to all the drama. It is super addictive!

I haven't watched too many movies lately because ive been so into scandal but one movie i watched and fell in love with was Divergent. Based on the book by Veronica Roth which i had read prior to seeing the movie. Now usually book to move adaptations do not impress me very much but this was amazing. The cast that were chosen for the roles were spot on! Can we just take a minute to appreciate Four *drools*
Beauty

I have been absolutely loving this combination on my skin the Instant age rewind by Maybelline is amazing for hiding dark circles. The Revlon photoready foundation is just a really great coverage and it doesnt feel like your wearing makeup at all. Also both of these are a great color match for my skin, im extremely pale so its hard to find colours that will match me.

Food

So this isnt exactly food but i bought this multi blender to make breakfast smoothies and i have been loving it! Its so simple to use and clean and the smoothies are delicious!

Lifestyle

I have been loving this Sentence a day notebook by Kikki K. It asks you a question everyday for three years, so you can look back and see how you change. I love the idea and i cant wait to look back at my answers in a years time. Ive been good with keepig up with it so hopefully i stick to it.

Other favs

Baby lips/ The new ikea catalogue/ My filofax/ Spring is comming/ Hommus/ coconut water/ Netflix/ Completing my first unit of study/ family/ coffee/ relaxing/

Stay fresh!

Top 5 Robin Williams movies

I was absolutely shattered to hear the news about this amazing man passing. I grew up watching his movies and i feel like he was a big part of my childhood. So in honour of this wonderful man i thought i would share my top 5 Robin Williams movies.

There are a few that i havent seen and my favourites may differ from others. As hard as it was i narrowed it down to 5 and here they are:

#5

One hour photo

Now ive heard a few people say they didnt enjoy this movie very much but i loved it!

Robin playing this lonely man who becomes obsessed with a family whose photos he develops. Its just a really haunting movie and just felt a loy of compassion for Sy (the main character).

#4

What dreams may come

After dying in a car crash Chris (the main character) searches the afterlife for his wife Anne.

This movie was so visually stunning and really moving. The love this man has for his wife is just beautiful and it really just touched my heart. I thought about this movie for a long time after i watched it.

#3

Hook

This movie is kind of a continuation to the original Peter Pan, where a grown up peter has to go back to neverland to save his children.

This movie reminds me of my childhood. I went through a fase where i watched it everyday (literally). Its just so wonderfully made. It feels magical and you just wanted to be there with them. There really is something for everyone in this movie.

#2

Jamunji

This classice movie about a board game that comes to life is definitely a family favourite.

I remember as a child always wishing i could have a boardgame like this (despite all the horrible things that came out of it). My brother and i were obsessed and would 'play jamunji' all the time with an old boardgame and our imagination.

#1

Mrs Doubtfire

This is definitely my most beloved Robin Williams film.

A movie about a man who dresses as a nanny to spend time with his kids after his wife asks for a divorce.

As a kid i enjoyed the funny aspects of the movie, but as an adult i love the devotion this man shows to his kids. He does everything he can to spend time with his kids and i think thats really beautiful.

The tragic circumstances of Robin Willams death also brings to light the seriousness of depession. It is invisible and life threatening. So if you are feeling depressed please seek help, find someone you can talk to. Depression can be cured. Life is worth living.

 

Until next time

Stay fresh!
