Songs of the Summer

Considering the torrential rain and thunder we've had over the past few days where I live, I think you would agree that summer is officially over (sob sob). So today's post I'm going to talk about my favourite songs of the summer.

OMI - Cheerleader

 This song is one of the biggest songs of the summer, everybody knows it! I admit that it was very overplayed but I love this song because it has such a relaxing chilled vibe and the trumpet solos are so good!

Fetty Wap - Trap Queen

This song was kinda my summer music guilty pleasure, I mean if you think about it the song isn't that great but its just so catchy! I don't know what was so catchy about it but every time it came on I just wanted to dance! I certainly wasn't the only one as this song got so popular.

LunchMoney Lewis - Bills

I started dancing just thinking about this song! This song is brilliant, its so catchy which means its perfect for creating funny video stars. What is also brilliant about this song is that young or old, male or female everybody can love it!

 

5SOS - She's kinda hot

I'm so surprised that this song didn't become more brilliant, i think it's a really clever song and I love the whole concept and the vocals are fantastic.

 

Pharrell - Freedom

Like every song Pharrell has ever released this song is brilliant and uplifting, it has such a good message and I really love the collection of voices used in this song. I also think the intro in this song is so unique and catchy, if you haven't heard of this song you should definitely check it out.

Avicii - Waiting for love

Waiting for love is a great song to go running or power walking to, it has a great uplifting tempo and the instrumentals are insanely good. It's also a great 'sing-a-long song' that you can easily join in with after only hearing it once.

Kygo - Stole the show

I'd never even heard of Kygo before but this song is just perfect! The singing, the tune, the lyrics, the video, I absolutely love everything about this song. I would 100% encourage you to check out this song.

John Newman - Come and get it

I think John Newmans voice is amazing and in this song you can certainly hear this. I think this song also has such a good tune, which you can definitely hear in the whistled sections of this song.

Little Mix - Black Magic

It's kind of obvious that this song was going to feature, i mean it was number one in the UK for so long! I'm not the biggest little mix fan but I really do love this song, personally I much prefer the acoustic version of this song.

I hope the weather isn't too awful, as it gets into autumn but at least the fashion this time of year is amazing!

Netflix Top 5

So today I have a really helpful post for you guys. It's getting to that point in the holidays where you just want to get back to school or you have run out of things to do. So what do we all turn to? Netflix. Today I wanted to share with you my top 5 favourite films and series to watch on Netflix. I'm going to talk about them in reverse order.

5. Material Girls



Material Girls is a good film, it's nothing amazing but its good enough to entertain you on a boring summer afternoon. I really like the fact that this film includes both the Duff sisters, it makes their relationship in the film even more realistic. What I do like about this film is that it has a more unusual story line which is unique and different to most other films. It is about 2 sisters who go from super rich to extremely poor really quickly. It is really entertaining to watch them struggle without money, the only thing I would say is that the film is very predictable.

 4. Clueless

Clueless is a chick flick classic that pretty much every teenage girl has seen. I love re-watching it on the days when you feel a bit down in the dumps, it is definitely a feel good film. 


3. Just Go With It

I really love this film its so funny and really entertaining, the fact that it is set on a summer holiday resort it definitely has those summer vibes. This film has a great cast including: Jennifer Aniston, Adam Sandler, Brooklyn Decker and Nicole Kidman.

2. Fired Up 

Fired up is my favourite film on Netflix, it is super funny and really entertaining. It's about 2 players who decide to join the cheer team so they can go on cheer camp. Why would they want to go on cheer camp I hear you ask, well at cheer camp there are 200 girls and about 3 straight guys. See their logic? It's a really funny light hearted film that you should definitely watch. I actually did an in depth review of it which you can see here.

1. Once upon a time 

Asbjcgfls! Where do I start? Once upon a time is my favourite TV series ever! It is so so so clever how everything fits together. It is a series where all the fairytale characters are stuck in our world due to and evil curse, it is amazing! It includes all the fairytale characters, Snow White, Mulan, Aroura, Belle, Cinderella, Red Riding Hood, Hansel and Gretel, the Mad Hatter, Captain Hook, Rumplestiltskin, Elsa, Anna, I could go on for ages. What I really love about this series is the fact that it all fits together so well and how it shows the past as well as the present. This series is so clever and brilliant, I could gush about it forever but all I can say is that you HAVE TO WATCH IT!

I really hope this helps you cure your end of summer boredom, what are your favourite films on Netflix?

Fired Up // Film review ❤

Hey everyone, so today I have decided to do a little film review for you. I decided that I wanted to review the film Fired Up because it is a great film that not many people have heard of. It is on Netflix in England (I'm not sure about elsewhere in the world).

       The film is about 2 boys (Shaun and Nick) who are the stars of their football team, but their main hobby is hooking up with girls. Yes, hooking up with girls! The boys have hooked up with almost every girl at their school and they want to meet new girls. So when they discover that there is a cheer camp which will have hundreds of new girls at, they make a plan. But the boys have never tried cheer before, so how will they get on the team? And even if they make it onto the team cheer camp clashes with football camp and they can hardly attend both. The boys make lots of risky plans and have to work very hard for things to go there way. Will they go to cheer camp? What about the football team? Do the boys learn that girls are exist for more than just hooking up with?

This films is very funny and is not as predictable as you would think. It includes a lot of characters each with their own quirky personalities. I love this film because story line is very unique, interesting and funny. I think it is the perfect film if you have had a stressful day and you just want to relax and relieve stress, it's sure to have you laughing!

Thank you for reading and be sure to keep your eyes open for my next post because its planned to be a good one!

My Fave Tunes ❤

Hey everyone, it's a bit of a simple post unfortunately but I wanted to get a post up. So today I just wanted to share with you some of my favourite tunes, some of them are quote old but I still love them! I'm pretty sure that you will be able to find all of the songs below on youtube.

I know Places- Taylor Swift

This song is from Taylors lateset album the 1989, I really like this song I think it is very edgy and a bit funky. I also think Taylor has a stunning voice!

Drawing Board - George Ezra

I love all of George's music, I actually bought his album wanted on voyage. This song is only a recent discovery because I was too busy obsessed with another one of his songs (more to follow). If you love male singers with fab voices who play the guitar then you will love this song.

Listen to the man - George Ezra

Once again this is a fantastic uplifting song that you can't not love. I also absolutely love the music video.

27 - Passenger

I love this song it is very catchy and I sing along every time! Just be warned it does include some swear words but it is still fab. If you don't know who passenger is, he is a male singer with a really husky voice and he also plays the guitar.

Sugar - Maroon 5

No description needed!!

I hope you enjoyed this short and sweet post, whats you favourite tune?

My favourite books ❤︎

First of all I would like to apologize for not posting for a week I've been really busy with options evening, homework and all the other busy parts of life. However I do have some posts planed and it is currently half term for me so I have more time. Therefore today's post is going to be quite big to make up for it. So without further ado, lets get started...

 

From what I remember - This is a fantastic book that I have just finished reading for about the hundredth time. It is written by Stacy Kramer and Valarie Thomas and it is about two people who are at complete different ends of the social spectrum at their high school in America yet they end up in Mexico together on a whirlwind of an adventure. I love this book because it is basically about defying stereo types and living spontaneously. I would 100% recommend this book, it is a brilliant read that anyone could relate to.

The Originals - This is a very unique book about 3 clones who live as one person. The three girls each take in turns to go out of the house, but the girls are fed up of living as a third of a person they want to be real teenagers and have their own lives. This is a very exciting, gripping book with lots of extra surprises.

Will Grayson, Will Grayson - I absolutely love this book which is written by John Green and David Levithan. It is about two different boys both called Will Grayson who are completely different with different problems and during the book their lives become entwined in the strangest of ways. It is really difficult to describe the plot but it is such a brilliant book that you should definitely read.

Geek Girl & Geek Girl Model Misfit - I absolutely love these books written by Holly Smale. They are very funny and light hearted. They are part of a four book series about a very Geeky girl called Harriet, who gets a big break as a model. Harriet is a hopeless model and it is very funny to go along with her on her adventure. I absolutely love these books and I really want to get books 3 & 4.

Thank you ever so much for reading and I hope you enjoyed this post. Some of you may have noticed that recently I have been playing around with the design of my blog a lot recently, that is because I have been struggling to design a layout that I really like. But I think I am now happy with my design (finally). I am hopefully going to post a haul at some point this week (probably Saturday) because I am going shopping on friday.

Thanks for Reading - Ella  ❤︎
