All About Them...




I love reading different books and have shelves full of random selections of books. As of late I have been loving autobiography's. Over the summer I read Mindy Kaling's autobiography Is Everyone Hanging out without me? (and other concerns) and Neil Patrick Harris's Choose your own Autobiography. 


Mindy Kaling - Is Everyone Hanging out without me? (and other concerns)

If you follow me on Twitter you will know that I am a little obsessed with The Mindy Project -and Mindy Kaling for that matter- so there is no excuse to why I wouldn't love her book.  There are no bad words to say about her compiled with mini essays about different times in her life autobiography. I loved reading it, giving you a little insight into her life and I was inspired by her even more. If you are a big fan of Mindy Kaling I defiantly advise you to read it you will love it.



I have loved Neil Patrick Harris ever since I started watching How I Met Your Mother all those years ago and I have followed his career ever since. Watching Interviews with him you realise he is actually a really fun guy - can we please be friends Neil? - who's also great at magic tricks... Choose your own autobiography is a little different to most but good all the same. Neil Patrick Harris had written his book in third person so you are the star of his book and you get to choose how your adventure would go... If you wanted to host the Tony's you could go to page 231 or if you wanted to sleep in Cinderella's castle in Disneyland you can go to page 280 - this actually happened you need to read the book to believe it- filled with happy endings, unhappy endings, magic tricks, recipes, cocktail mixes and Love Neil Patrick Harris's book is a page turner and defiantly a must read!


I would love to here some of your favourite autobiographies and recommendations on other great books!

Loving this week








Lately I have been reading From Notting Hill with Love... Actually by Ali McNamara  and the story is about a girl who daydreams about movies, lives her life finding things in life which relate to movies. Everyone in the book is telling her that she should stop daydreaming abut movies because this is real life and that life is not a movie. I can relate to this book so much because I too love finding the movie moments in life and I have been told before that life is not like a movie. This annoys me because these story line must have stemmed from some aspect of the creators life or else there wouldn't be a movie - or TV show for that matter- too shoot. This idea for a movie comes from somewhere weather that be your imagination, your sub-concious relating to something similar that has happened to you therefore stemming a story line from an actual experience... So okay these movies scenarios don't happen in your everyday life- you're not going to be driving in your car and fall in love with the man on the radio talk show talking about how hard it has been since he lost his wife.. or email a complete stranger who just happens unknown to you to be the same man you are at war with only to have been in love with him the whole time-.

So what I'm trying to say is life is what you make it, wether that me in a movie or you just daydreaming about a movie, make your life your own.

Now onto what I'm loving this week

1. Shake It Off - Kelly and Michael

I know Halloween was 3 weeks ago now but I loved the "Shake it off" video which Kelly and Michael did for their Live with Kelly and Michael Halloween Episode. As well as dressing up a various celebrities and characters from TV and Film, the hilarious video also featured a host of celebrity cameos as well as Taylor Swift her self.

Also check out the video of President Obama from the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon singing Shake It Off - President Obama sings Taylor Swift "Shake it Off" 


2. Scandal



Lets talk about Scandal firstly I'm obsessed, I started watching it yesterday - I know I'm a little late to the party- and I'm already on season 2 fair to say its addictive. Kerry Washington is amazing as Olivia Pope and how badass is she? I am also loving the chemistry between President Fitz and Olivia - and is it just me or is Fitz actually quite good looking? There is defiantly something which draws you too him- Kerry Washington and Tony Goldwyn are perfect for the roles and  do a great job of bringing  the affair to life. I can't believe it has took me this long to jump on the Scandal fan bus but I  am officially hooked!

20 Random Facts about Myself


After seeing the 20 Random things about me post on Brooklyn Blonde  I thought it would be a fun little post to do..


1. I'm obsessed with Tom Hanks and all his Movies.. I think I have seen maybe all of his films at least more than once.

2. My Favourite Tv Shows of all time are: Friends, White Collar, The Mindy Project, New Girl and Sex and the City.

3. I can tell what Friends episode is on the Tv without having to look at the Tv, I can just hear it a couple of times and know. ( I may know Friends a bit too well)

4. New York is my favourite city of all time and I hope to move there in the next couple of years.

5. I know almost all the words to You've got Mail.. Its my all time favourite film.

6. I have a bigger DvD collection than I do shoe collection.

7. I would buy a new handbag every month if I could, I have quite a big handbag collection.

8. My goal is to work on E News and I would also love to work on a movie set one day.

9. When I was younger I hated wearing jackets or coats I just didn't understand the concept of them because I thought wearing a jacket hid all the clothes I was wearing.

10. I am always cold, even if it is really warm I can guaranty that I will be cold.

11. I'm obsessed with films and I am strangely good at film trivia.

12. My favourite books are the Confessions of a Shopaholic series by Sophie Kinsella, I could read them over and over again.

13. I'm constantly on Instagram and I'm obsessed with the bloggers Instagram and the New York instagramers their pictures are always so perfect.

14. I have a little bit of OCD tendencies and I'm a perfectionist which means I can be overly organised sometimes.

15. I love finding out how movies are made and would love to work on a movie set at least once.

16. A little strange but  every time I get my hair done I always almost fall asleep in the hairdressers chair. I think I just find it so relaxing especially when I am getting my hair blow dried..

17. I have a fear of birds and have to cross the street if one of them is on the pavement in front of me.

18. I am trying to overcome my fear of talking in front of people or getting my photograph taken, I prefer being behind the camera. I'm slowly trying to be more confident in front of the camera If i want to work in broadcast journalism - this photo above is very rare.

19. I love old fashioned cameras at the moment I have a Cannon DSLR but I would love to own a old fashion style camera too.

20. I find it hard to think of facts or things about myself when I'm asked to write about myself ( this post got a little hard after about 5 facts)

Childhood full of memories!

After seeing College Prepster's blog post on 50 Ideas for Blog Post and number 25 was to put together funny/embarrassing  photos of you that you other wise wouldn't share. So I interpreted that idea in my own way and I decided to put together a collection of photos from when i was younger some of which are very funny....


I loved this tent but every time I went in it made my little hair that I did have go static 


 This playgroup photo made me look like I was in jail...

Yet again appropriate  parenting at its best ..... ( don't worry he bottle is empty)

Yet again my love for hats and night wear continues....

Apparently I was always cleaning... even now I am always cleaning.

 Me and my Mum!


And me and my Dad!
