My Top 5 Favourite Musicals!

Who doesn't like a cheesy musical? Am I right?.... just me then?


1) Moulin Rouge - This film has one of the best sound tracks EVER! When I watched this I wanted to be in the circus, I wanted the glitz and the amazing outfits. The singing is amazing and i was surprised that Ewan Mcgregor had such a good voice!I have listened to the sound track millions of times... that's no exaggeration either. I even wanted one of the songs as my first dance lol. The story line is romantic as well as a slightly sleazy background. My favourite line from the film is 'The greatest thing you will ever learn, is just to love and be loved in return.






 2) Greece - Oh god if you are reading this and had never watched Greece... get out.This must have been the biggest ever musical. The high school sweet hearts who had a summer fling, try and re kindle their love for each other. Anyway i shouldnt have to explain this film you should have seen it. It is one of the films that made Oliver Newton John so famous. Everyone envied her in those leather trousers. I had the sing along version of the film, as well as the actual film. I think it was the first musical that I saw! I love the songs and the 1950's costumes and cars. I wish I had lived in that era sometimes.



 3) Rocky Horror Picture Show - This is the most out there musical around. It is controversial in the fact that it shows transvestites and gay characters (which makes it even more amazing) The film has great music such as 'Time Warp' and lets be honest who hasn't heard that at someones 40th or a wedding? we all know the moves. I'm pretty sure they have made this in to a stage show.... i would love to see it if they have! It's a weird film but its awesome!



4) Chicago - Wow what a film the amount of money they must have put in to this has got to be A LOT! the work they put in to this is amazing, from the outfits to the dancing. It is glitzy and Gatsby and i love it! The dancing is brilliant and i had to get up and boogy myself! This was the second stage show i saw in London and we had great seats! the dancing was just as amazing. They did make killing a man look glamours but it's not kids.... its not... lol






5) Greatest Showman - I cannot tell you how many times i have seen this. It has made me realise how awesome musicals are. I love anything to do with the circus and this has 100% confirmed this. I now want to run off and join a circus.... i better get better at pole or something. I love every song as it was made and sung by the actors/actresses. The costumes are brilliant and so is the singing. This shows the true story of how the circus first came to town. The old school layout and acts show you how much times have changed. This is my all time favourite film right now.

My Top 10 Fave Summer Clothes & Accessories!

Image
Here is a little insight to what items of clothing and accessories i love to wear. As I still am holding on to the fact that its still summer i will show you some of my fave summer outfits!  No. 1 - Yellow Floral Maxi Skirt.  I got this from a place called Janes Stalls, it is a little stall that sells out of season stock. The prices are great and the items can range from places such as Primark to New Look and more. I got this skirt for £5! BARGAIN! it has two slits either side, sometimes when i walk the bit in the middle tucks in and makes it look odd but i love it! its so summery and bright! Unfortunately you cannot get it from there anymore as it was a while ago. Links below for where to find it. No. 2 - Floral Print Wrap Blouse This is a new purchase that I got from Asos using some birthday vouchers. It is still summery but you can wear it throughout the year. I got this for about £16 I loved pairing it with my black jeans and boots for an evening out. This

Motivation

So this is a little blog to help you through a tough time. I don't know you, I don't know what problems you are having, but you need to know that there is something you can do about it. A couple of issues I have been going through recently is lack of money. No amount of money is enough to somebody. In my case a couple of hundred would be enough. The best way for me to get through this is to look at my finances and my wardrobe. Firstly I have a good job that pays well but the day after pay day I am skint! so I looked in to what I spend each month, direct debits, and other outgoings. I set up a spreadsheet and every time I buy something I list it on my spreadsheet. Yes it can be a little anal but it gives me a really good idea on what I spend and what I could cut out spending money on. Secondly I looked at the stuff i have laying around. I live in a 2 bedroom flat so space is a luxury. I tend to keep a lot of things thinking i would use them.... years down the line it has

Fitness update....

I went to a fitness class this morning. I can confirm I am still unfit. The pole studio I go to every Monday and Wednesday also do other classes such as boxing, boot camp, and hoop! This morning was a abs work out, which consisted of warming up on a small trampoline thing... not sure what they are called. We had to do 20 seconds of fast running on the spot on this trampoline thing, then 10 seconds of slow jog. After doing that for about 20 mins we moved on to circuit exercise. There were about 6 different sections, one where you lift a weight using your left arm and swing it in front of you. The next one was with both arms and the one after that was with the right arm. The 4th bit was getting in a plank position and instead of your hands being on the floor they are holding dumb bells, you lift one at a time but keeping your bum down and holding the plank position. The last one was burpees but on the way up lift weights. I got to say it was killer, I am not good when it comes to c
