My most adored films/videos

Stilababe09/Meredith Foster - Room tour 2014
This was the first ever video I watched on Youtube that wasn't music related and something about this always cheers me up. I'm not really sure why but it is most likely because I love her bubbly personality and I think it really shines through in this video. To be completely honest, I am also obsessed with Room Tours as I'm extremely noisy and I like to take inspiration from them. This is about 20mins long and I have definitely watched it over 6 times, to the point where I can quote certain parts of it, much to my embarrassment.
The first episode of 90210
When I first got Netflix, I was deciding what series to start watching and so many people recommended 90210 so I gave it a go. I love this programme, so many parts are really relatable and as it has many series, you connect with the all characters. The first episode just stands out to me because it is set at the high school and it is exciting because it is Annie's and Dixon's first day. As I live in England, I also get to have a glimpse into American high school life, even though I realise that other schools will most likely differ as this is a programme interpretation of them. In this blog post, there is an already apparent theme on first viewings but I feel these are the most memorable.
The Spy Kids films
Don't call me childish but I actually watched Spy Kids 3 - Game Over a few weeks ago. These films remind me so much of my childhood as I used to watch them all the time. I liked the gadgets they had; I thought it would be very cool to own some of them!
Vlogs on Youtube
I love watching vlogs; I find it interesting to know what people get up to on a daily basis - me being nosey again! Aside from that, I also get to experience, through a camera, places that I have or haven't been to. A while back, some Youtubers went to NYC and brought back memories of my trip which I really enjoyed. I love how they are in such a chatty style as well so I find it relaxing to watch them.
Annie
This is probably my favourite childhood film! I have seen two versions: the new one which came last year and the older one which came out in 1982. I was shocked when I researched this as I didn't realise the film was that old. The music is probably my favourite aspect of the film; I still to this day am heard singing some of the songs. It is just one of those films that you can turn on and it will bring a smile to your face.
Princess Diaries
I love Anne Hathaway, she is one of my favourite actresses; this is mostly due to the fact I was obsessed with the Princess Diaries. Out of the two films, I think I prefer the second because I like to see the interior of the Palace. Mia, Anne Hathaway, is also older but still her clumsy self - a bit like me to be honest. I really like Mia's reaction to her Grandmother, when she tells her that Mia is a princess, telling her to 'Shut up'. It is just one of those films that can never really get old.
School of Rock
My dad introduced me to this when I was younger, mostly because I think he liked the music in it and wanted to give me a somewhat education in rock. Jack Black is brilliant in all of his films and this is certainly not an exception. I like all the children because it reminds you of the different sorts of people you go to school with. It is also one of those films which has great bonus features. I remember re-watching and re-watching a clip of Jack Black explaining how McDonalds in a balanced meal. Maybe that is another reason why I remember this film!

Origins Out of Trouble face mask
Saturday 9 May 2015
I had just finished my previous face mask when my mum kindly bought this Origins one for me. This is my first Origins product; I'm really enjoying using it - definitely my favourite face mask to date. It comes out in a white formula and a little goes a long way - the amount somewhat expands as I presume it is densely packaged. Not that I really judge a face mask on its scent but this smells really fresh so it is nice to use on a pamper evening.
The product is best used on combination/oily skin as it absorbs the oil and calms down problem areas. This is the main reason why I like it because I can apply the mask when my skin is going through a rougher patch. Also, it goes on your skin nicely as it has a really creamy consistency. I tend to use this twice a week but dependant on how my skin is, I can use it more or less.
If you have combination/oily skin and are looking for a really great face mask, this is amazing and it really works for me.

Focusing on what's important #2
Sunday 3 May 2015
As I have said many times before, I try to live my life around a saying. The name for my blog is also influenced by this as I feel like by making my life this metaphorical camera, I can truly understand the true meaning of it. If you haven't read my blog before and are completely confused as to what I am talking about, the saying goes as follows:
Life is like a camera, focus on what's important, capture the good times, develop from the negatives and if things don't work out, take another shot.
This post is concentrating on the focusing on what's important aspect. I started my blog with the intention of uploading a post twice a week and so far I have kept that up with a few exceptions. However, recently I am really struggling to write two posts a week as my life is getting very hectic. This frustrates me because I love blogging - it has become a real hobby of mine! I'm also an avid reader of other blogs and I haven't had time to scroll through my Bloglovin feed and read in depth other posts which again, I love to do.
Be me saying that I'm going to focus on what's important in my life right now, I don't mean to say that blogging isn't important to me. Coming up, I have exams that I need to pass and right now I just need to prioritise my time into revising. I hope that in the Summer, I can blog a lot more as I will have so much more time to do so. In my mind, I have so many post ideas that are Summer themed and I will most likely be back into my schedule of two posts a week.
I don't think I realised how much effort bloggers put in to making their content. For me creating a blog post, takes a good few hours as I need to take photos as well as just write it. I also understand that my posts aren't as long as other bloggers so I can only imagine the time and effort they put in to creating such amazingly detailed content. For me, right now, I can only commit myself to one post a week and although I would like to upload more, I know this is a realistic number for me.
I'm sorry that this post was a bit all over the place but I just wanted to explain why I haven't and won't be writing as many posts as usual. I hope you have a good day and I will be back to my normal type of post next week :)
