The Halloween Playlist Of 2015

Image
This is a quick post up in writing, but it took a heeell of a lot of planning to get it done. I was stalking the Bastille hashtag on Tumblr just because I wanted to see their faces, and I saw someone had made a Halloween playlist with one of Bastille's songs and it excited me. I've never seen/heard of/thought of a Halloween playlist before, and I knew I absolutely had to do one. So I did a bit of research into what kind of songs people put on, which sparked inspiration for songs from my favourite people, so I wrote down every single song I thought would be cool and Halloweeny, then got rid of a load that didn't really fit the theme that the playlist had taken. I went through absolute hell trying to find a good order for the songs to go in, so the start of one song would flow well the the end of another. I felt like I've just made my own album. It's amazing. I then wrote a tracklist, very quickly just now -which I could have put a bit more thought into (maybe next ye

October Favourites.

This is something I haven't ever done before, these posts are my one of my favourites to read and I've always wanted to do one, but I don't really have the things to talk about. I doubt I'll do these regularly but this month I have lots of things I want to talk about, I thought this kind of post would be a good way to talk about everything. And it just happened to fall perfectly on the last few days of October. The fact that I get to wake up every morning to this view. Autumn is one of my favourite seasons because I love its' colours, and having a tree directly outside my bedroom window which is shedding bright orange leaves makes me a bit cheerier over the fact that summer is long gone for another 9 months.  Pot noodles. We bought some for snacks and lunches on holiday, and I never knew how much I needed them in my life. It's like having soup, the're toasty and heat me up when it's chilly outside, and it takes two seconds to make. Hot chocolate.

Sounds Good Feels Good, An Album Review For 5 Seconds Of Summer

Image
*All the letters of the keyboard pressed erratically to form a load of gibberish nonsense just emphasize my extreme excitement.* My 5sos album came! It's in my hands, it's new and shiny, and 3-D and has a cover on it and it smells like a new book. So I finally feel like I can do my review/thoughts on it now. I don't want to say I'm doing a 'review' and have people expect knowledgeable, insightful, musical facts from me. I'm just an average teenager, speaking a few words about my favourite band, without being squealish about it. But I mean it's technically a review.. 1) Okay so track number one.  Money.  I like an album that comes in steady, but extremely powerful and in your face to say 'hey! this is what's on offer! This is our album! Love it! Indulge it! Blah blah blah' and the first track really does this. I never actually got round to doing my first reaction thing that I've done for a lot of the other tracks, but I would have s

A Week In Outfits From My Holiday

Image
I have so many posts to be doing, and some really exciting ones but I can't do the exciting ones yet and it's driving me insane! I've currently got This Is Halloween on repeat, I'm extremely excited for Halloween today that I honestly think I'm going to implode, I'm also really mad at myself because I forgot to add Panic! At The Disco's new song to my post yesterday, which is  insanely good! And Brendon looks hella good part devil/satan thing, part human. It is this years Halloween anthem. Anyways, today is not one of the exciting posts, it's something a little different than I usually do, and I really wanted to do it. On holiday I thought it would be a good idea to photograph my outfit every day and do a 'week in outfits' type thing even though it's only four days worth. But it's not very good, I'm just stood in front of my room's mirror taking awfully angled photos. But it's something different, so I'm going to post it

Currently Listening To...

Image
Today is Monday. And Monday is two things. 1, busy. And 2, currently listening to day. That makes no sense but let's continue. I don't think I have a great deal of songs, but I'm sure once they've all been written down this will be a long 'un. I have more than Bastille to post about, mostly I want to post about 5sos' new album but I have to refrain myself because I'm doing an album review thing, and I don't wanna ruin it by posting half the songs on here. Bringing this back because I'm out of photos... Durban Skies - Bastille , I'll get Bastille out of the way first. Okay, this song, is beautiful! When I first heard it I was like 'aw it's a love song, Dan doesn't really write songs about love' but it's so much more special than that. It's about his parents, and their home and their love. I figured this out completely on my own before I saw that Dan has said it was for his parents, and that makes me feel very detect

A Little Getaway

Image
Home. I've never been happy to be home. I kind of reach that point during my holidays where I can't wait for my own bed, or to eat my own food and see my familiar surroundings.. but I love being away from home doing fun things, so I never feel relief or happiness when holidays end. But my God. Have I missed home. Mainly my cats. I've been missing them the entire time, I spend all day with them and it was so lonely without them over the holiday, the reunion was a little tearful and I've had an extra two shadows since. Currently having very needy cuddles. I wrote the above part of my post last night, but had to stop because both my kittens were staring at me, I said "whatchu looking at babies" and then,  pounce. Both of them jumped onto my chest and stayed there for a good few hours making it impossible to reach the laptop.. But continuing on with the post, we had a good time, the holiday was good, we only went into the pool once, I got very ill one morn

5SOS' Hey Everybody Reaction/Review

Image
I wrote out this post yesterday like I said I would, and I'm posting it now. My God am I worn out! I haven't stopped all day, I've got bits and bobs of packing left to do but I can't physically do anything else, everything hurts and I'm tired. Which is perfect because I'll probably fall asleep instantly and then it'll be morning before I know it! Tired tired tired... Okay! 5SOS released their second single from the album quite a while ago now, but I didn't post my reaction then because I couldn't find the words to describe it.. But their video came out last night and I'm definitely feeling different towards it now. I first heard it on Australian radio, well I was supposed to. They were like "ey, we're gonna play the new 5SOS song in 60 minutes!" and then played it in 40 minutes. So I listened via a link on Twitter. Their fault, not mine. And I liked the song, and I danced and smiled listening to it, but that's all I could

How I Plan My Holidays

Image
It's 8:46pm at this current moment. I'm in bed, as I usually am these days because of this whopping social life I have at the minute. Note serious sarcasm. It's been a casual but busy-ish day and tomorrow is going to be non-stop chaos. I said I was going to post before the holiday but there's not a chance in hell I'll have any time tomorrow! But I'm thinking of doing a first reaction to the new 5sos song now and posting that tomorrow.. I don't know, anyways, tomorrow is the final day before the holiday so I thought I'd talk a bit about it and how I'm preparing for it. I'm going to a place called Butlins, in Skegness. I don't know if anyone would have heard of it it's a pretty quiet, under the radar kind of place. Note serious sarcasm. It's kind of tacky, it's a British holiday summed up completely. But I love the place nonetheless, it has a pretty cool swimming pool, where I'll spend most my time because 1, I'm a sucker

An Autumnal Day Out

Image
I haven't posted all week and I've felt bad about it every single day. I was ready to post my Currently Listening To on Monday but then I just couldn't.. I physically couldn't upload another post of just Bastille songs. But it's now because I have other songs to add into next week's.. which won't be a thing. Next week I'm on holiday. Like halle-fricken-lujah! It's been so long since I've just gotten away, and after the year I've had... I could really do with it. I'm vlogging on my holiday! Well I'm going to try to, I feel like disaster will strike and I'll never actually do it. I've been doing a lot of planning for it today -whether I'll get another post up about my holiday before I go I don't know. I might find something to post because I won't be posting and I haven't been posting so it's going to be very sparse on here. Anyways, today I want to do a post on Autumn, because Britain really doesn't
