Movies to look forward to this year!

OK, so January is over. New Year Resolutions have been broken (for some of us at least). Now its time to face the rest of the year. As long as you do it with a smile then it will be Okay! I promise. This post will give you some things to look forward to this year,

So lets kick off this post!

Finding Dory (June)
I CANNOT wait for this movie to come out! I don't care if I will be the only teenager in there amidst the little kids. I have been waiting for this since I was 2 years old. I loved Finding Nemo as a kid and wanted a sequel so here it is. You can find a trailer here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSf-5vbVpAU



Allegiant (March)
You dont have to wait too long before this comes out. I hope this will be good. Usually the third movie sucks but I really hope this is good. The book was really good so as log as they follow that then it should be fine :) The trailer is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vzn4MJdaabw

Zootopia (March)
My Best Friend really wants to watch this one (we're 14 xD) but tbh it doesn't look awful. I mean I love Disney Movies and they are always really good but again, we will be the only teenagers in there!!! Oh well, never mind. The trailer is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bY73vFGhSVk

Alice in Wonderland: Through the looking Glass (May)
I loved Tim Burtons Alice in Wonderland so I am looking forward to this movie too. I have never read the original book though. I should probably do that soon :D. I love Tim Burton. He makes childrens movies freaky which is good because it makes them more interesting. The trailer is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WovwuOFBUuY

The Secret Life of Pets (June)
I'm not going to lie, I am really excited for this movie (Don't kill me) I saw a trailer with upcoming movies when I was like 10 or 11 and I saw this. Well just an idea to be honest. I really want to watch this and I will drag my friends along with me too! This is the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-80SGWfEjM

Miss Peregrines Home For Peculiar Children (Christmas Day)
The book was AMAZING! The photographs in it were really creepy but it really adds to the creepiness. Unfortunately, it doesn't come out until  Christmas Day. I have to wait a whole year! Why would they do this to me? Here is the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dYRewLVNhQ

Just a small note (requested by you)

Hey guys! 

A couple of you have e-mailed me and asked me the same question. 

Why have you started this blog? 

Good question actually. 

So the reason I started is because I had an ICT project not long ago where we had to do something about ourselves. Some people did posters, others did videos. I wanted to be different and so I chose to do a blog. That is the main reason. 
Another reason is I have done a blog before with my best friend but we moved apart and so we stopped that blog. I really enjoyed doing that blog and I felt sad when I had to stop doing it. 

Anyways, that was the main reasons I have this blog, there are more but I am too tired to go into a lot of detail. I hopefully will be back tomorrow with another post, if not the day after. 
Lots of love

(it is so late that I can hear owls outside my house) 

HELP! What do I do if.... Post 1

Hey guys! So one of my recent posts was a new thing I'm going to do which is HELP! What do I do if... 
Well, a few of you e-mailed me (jabeautyblogger@gmail.com) and about 15 e-mails so far have come through. I will do like 2 of them at a time. 

OK... Here we go. 

1) Divorced parents. 
Hey, I saw your post about the advice section you are doing and want to ask you something. I know it's probably what a lot of people have sent but I still need help. So recently, my parents have split up and I feel like I have to choose sides. My mum is always saying stuff about my dad behind his back and vice versa. I dont know what to believe or go along with. The worse thing is that it is said in front of me as if they want me to tell the other. 
Please help
xxx

Hey girl, this has happened to me before and I know exactly how it feels. My mum always slagged my dad off and the other way around. What I did was ignore what they were saying and i didn't let it bother me that much. I know that sounds hard, I'm not gonna lie it is but you have to try. Also, if you feel like you can, talk to your parents and tell them how what they say makes you feel. Just don't bottle it a up because in the long run, that isnt going to help. 
Lots of Love

2) Friendship problems

Hi, I have a problem with my friends. We have one massive group (about 12 of us)  and we are all close with one another, however recently, two of my friends have fallen out and everyone has taken sides. This is tearing the group apart. The only people who haven't taken a side are me and my closest friend. I love everyone in my group and I dont want to take a side because then it looks like I don't like some of them. However, I feel like if I don't take a side, then I will be excluded from the group.
Can you help me please? 

Hi, I come from a huge friendship group too so I know that when a big fallout happens, it can be difficult to deal with. Whatever you do, don't choose a side because the the opposite side will hold something against you. Try and let things sort themselves out and try and get your friends out of this situation if they aren't involved. It's only between a couple of people so no o e else needs to be part of it. You could tell a teacher, they can help sort out friend problems. At least they have helped my group loads in the past. Anyway I this has helped you and I hope things sort themselves out for you. 
Lots of love

Ok,so it has only been short, but it is really late where I am and i am so tired. I hope this might have helped you with some of your problems. Remember, if you want me to answer one of your problems just send me an e-mail at jabeautyblogger@gmail.com 
Thank you for reading and i will see you soon

An Interview With.... Joelle (Just Joelle1)

Hey guys!

So as you may have read in one of my previous posts I will post an interview with one of my favourite YouTubers

I also mentioned that they are all small YouTubers. This is because I prefer watching the smaller YouTubers, it makes me feel closer to them.

At the bottom of the post, I will provide a link to their channel where you can watch their videos, like them and subscribe!

This is Joelle's interview...


Joelle
(Taken From YouTube)
And this is Joelle :)

Here were the questions and the answers I was given :)


1) When did you start and why?
I started making videos my sophomore year since I thought I might be interested in film production. I just wanted to practice filming/ editing, and saw the HUGEEE community of beauty bloggers on YouTube that were about my age, so I figured it would be a simple place to start. I also saw the awesome friendships YouTubers made through this media platform and definitely wanted to see what it was like. However, of course my channel has evolved a lot since then, but it primarily started with an interest in content creation and community. 

2) Where is the prettiest place you have been?
New Zealand is extremely beautiful and its natural beauty left me speechless when I visited on a family trip. However, growing up in San Francisco, the Sutro Baths ruins at Ocean Beach will also always leave me breathless. 

3) Is there anything you have always wanted?
Definitely always wished I was one of the x-men (just not Rogue because she couldn't touch anyone). Or at least the ability to fly.

4) Who is your favourite band/singer? Why?
I don't think I have a singular favorite music artist because my taste depends so much on my mood, but I very consistently love Ed Sheeran and One Republic. I appreciate their generally wholesome lyrics and overall good musicality and production, but of course can't help but wish I had Beyonce's voice/ dance moves or Zendaya's steeze. 

5) (This is a random one) What is your favourite Disney movie? Why?
Haha I actually love that you're asking me about Disney because it holds such a close place to my heart. I grew up LOVING Lion King and Mulan since those were classics and of course, as an Asian-American girl, seeing a strong, independent, Asian woman like Mulan in a Disney movie is extremely empowering. However, now there's also Big Hero 6 which helps encapsulate my sentiment as an Asian-American in the modern day, as well as the idea of forgiveness and showing compassion which I value extremely. It also makes me so happy that it's partially based in my hometown haha. (I actually have a video up on why I love it. Yup, I enjoy it that much)

6) Do you believe in the supernatural ( including mermaids, faeries, ghosts etc.)
 I can't say I necessarily believe in mystical creatures like mermaids, but as a Christian I do actually believe that there are more things out there than what humans can naturally perceive like angels and such. I think it's naive to say that just because we can't always detect something means that it doesn't exist.

7) What would be your dream job?
I hope to go into the film/ entertainment industry after college. I don't know which part exactly (since so far I've enjoyed almost all of it), but I would LOVE to be a creative executive at Disney and help develop the stories that make it to the big screen and shape so many people's childhoods.

8) Who is your idol?
 I don't think I have an idol actually. But I do really look up to a lot of artists like Keone and Mari Madrid, my favorite choreographers. They have found amazing ways to integrate their beliefs and values with their craft and managed to turn their passion into a career, which is an amazing feat in my book.

9) What makes you the happiest?
That's a super hard one, not gonna lie, because I am generally a pretty happy person. But I think that I've always found relationships with others to be particularly rewarding. I love knowing that people feel completely safe and free when they're with me, and therefore I can feel completely at home with them. This may sound weird, but I love being able to express my love for other people and knowing that I can do something that reminds them how valuable they are and brings out the best in them. 

10) What is your summer playlist?
This will sound like a superrr weird compilation, but here are just a few songs that would definitely make it into the mix (but not necessarily in this order):
Daylight - Matt & Kim
Let Me In - Grouplove
Ready or Not - Bridgit Mendler
Next to Me - Emeli Sande
Sorry - Justin Bieber
Beggin for Thread - Banks
Schoolin Life - Beyonce
Hipster Girls - Iamsu!
How That Taste - Kehlani
Like I Can - Sam Smith
Portugal - Walk the Moon

11) What is your YouTube (achievements, best videos etc.)
 I think my proudest YouTube moments have been when people comment saying that a video really helped them out, particularly about alleviating anxiety about social situations in my high school dance video (lol definitely my most watched video). I really care about people feeling free to enjoy all the little bits of life and not be afraid to just dive in. I was super relieved to get positive responses to more touchy videos in which I explain my faith or social views since that can be intimidating, but I'm working on not worrying so much about what other people think of me. Getting partnered was also awesome, and of course having subscribers (like you!) reach out to me personally is also super rewarding and reminds me of why I love doing what I do. 


So they were her answers to my questions and I am super grateful for her contribution. Make sure to check out her YouTube channel and subscribe

Here is a link to her channel:

An Interview With.....

Hi guys!

So I have contacted some of my favourite YouTubers recently and asked them a few questions. I asked them all the same questions and here they are...

1) When did you start and why?

2) Where is the prettiest place you have been?

3) Is there anything you have always wanted?

4) Who is your favourite band/singer? Why?

5) (This is a random one) What is your favourite Disney movie? Why?

6) Do you believe in the supernatural ( including mermaids, faeries, ghosts etc.)

7) What would be your dream job?

8) Who is your idol?

9) What makes you the happiest?

10) What is your summer playlist?

So, every so often, I will post the YouTuber's responses to my questions. You will notice that they aren't the huge names in YouTube, that doesn't mean that they are no good though, I love them. TBH, I prefer the smaller YouTubers. I feel like, because they are less known, I can connect with them more. That sounds really weird out loud. In my head it makes so much more sense.

Anyway, I will post the first interview soon so keep reading.

Colour Co-ordination Blogs- Blue


BLUE! 

Blue is most definitely NOT just a boys colour. In fact it is my favourite colour. I love baby and pastel blue the most though.


Anyway, this is what these types of Blogs are about


 I will name a piece of Technology/technology accessory (phone case etc.), A pair of shoes, A bag, A home decoration, A perfume and a stationary item that are all the same colour as the blog title, in this case, Blue


Okay, so here we go


1) Technology



Samsung Galaxy S6 -64GB-Topaz Blue- £539.00

I love Samsung Phones and the S6, while being quite big, are by far the best in my opinion. Although it is quite expensive, maybe it could be an Xmas present or Birthday present or something.


2) A pair of shoes



Blue Suedette Ballet Pumps - New Look - £7.99

Aren't these just so cute! They could go with almost any outfit be it jeans or a dress. And for just £8 too. I have a pair of these in black for school and a dark pink pair like them from Zalando.co.ukThey are just so  practical! 

3) A bag

Turquoise Flat Structure Tote Bag - Lauren by Ralph Lauren - £66.00

This bag is such a handy size for school/college but even for just going out. Isn't the colour just stunning as well! This is definitely on my to buy list.

4) A home decoration

Galactic Scales Acry Throw Pillow - Redbubble - £12.00

The abstract pattern on this pillow would give any room that added twist to make it unique. The royal navy blue is such a beautiful colour. Blue is a colour said to calm you down and this shade definitely could.

5) Fragrance
Woman by Ted Baker (100ml) £31.45

The fragrance of this is a fruity floral. It smells very citrusy. I would recommend wearing it as a daytime fragrance over night time. I can't really give a reason why though. 

6) Stationary

James and Friends Slim Pencil Case in Blue - Ryman - £6.00

I love Jim Chapman's stationary range, it is so cool and I am i need of a new pencil case so this might be the one I pick. It is only £6.00 too!!!!

OK, so that was my second Colour Co-ordination Blog post, I will try and do about 8 more of them. If you liked it, then please e-mail me at jabeautyblogger@gmail.com or comment.

No Boyfriend, No Problem



I have had a few boyfriends in the past, and while I haven't regretted any of them, I feel like I am much happier without one.

OMG! How can you say that! I hear some of you cry.

Well, I would rather have my Best Friend than a Boyfriend.

Don't agree with me? Well, here is a list which I hope will change your mind.

1) I can complain with my Best Friend about the lack of cute boys anywhere. You CANNOT do this with a boyfriend

2) Shopping! I do not know any boys, EVER who could spend 2 hours in New Look with me. Plus he wouldn't be allowed in the changing room with me to take photos of me and her wearing the clothes

3) My Best Friend always has the things that I need in her bag. Hairgrips, Bobbles, Perfume, Lippie etc. A boyfriend never carries these things ever

4) A normal night with her is in front of the TV. Chocolate + PLL = Girl's night in. My boyfriend hated PLL.

5) I can tell my BFF everything without feeling embarrased. With guys, not so much

6) We can send crazy selfies to each other and not care what each other thinks.

Selfies to boyfriend





Selfies to BFF





7) I can talk to my BFF for an hour (at least) about a problem and she will never get bored. Boys tend to get bored of girly problems

8) He will NEVER know how annoying it is when you just cannot perfect your eyeliner

9) My BFF will be there for me when my boyfriend has gone.

Colour Co-ordination Blogs- Pink



PINK!

I love the colour pink. It reminds me of childhood, when I used to play with my dolls (and cars TBH).
Anyway, I should probably introduce my idea behind these colour co-ordinated blogs.

 I will name a piece of Technology, A pair of shoes, A bag, A home decoration, A perfume and a stationary item that are all the same colour as the blog title, in this case, Pink.

Okay, so here we go

1) Technology

Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 - Instant camera - Pink

Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 - Instant Camera - Pink From £59.00






2) A pair of shoes
Coral and Black Chelsea Wellies New Look
Ankle Wellies £15.99 From New Look

3)A bag

Womens Pink mini satchel handbag
Handbag £22.00 from River Island

4) A home decoration

Pink Rose Fairy Lights New Look
Rose Fairy Lights £8.99 New Look

5) Perfume 
Just PinkĀ® Eau De Parfum 100ml
Just Pink £12 Next

6) Stationary

Ted Baker Medium Embossed Brogue Notebook - Pink

Ted Baker Medium Embossed Brogue Notebook - Pink £13.00 - Ted Baker


 


OK, so that was my first ever Colour Co-ordination Blog post, I will try and do about 10 of them in total. If you liked it, then please e-mail me at jabeautyblogger@gmail.com
