My Relationship With Food And Why Diet Culture Sucks

15th Jan 2021by mxrshmallowqueen2 Comments

All I can think about is food. I will go to the local corner shop and buy as much ‘bad’ foods as I can, then I’ll go home and eat until I physically can’t swallow anymore. I’m spending so much money on food yet I never feel fully satisfied.

My relationship with food is confusing. I have all the knowledge I need to know what foods to be eating more or less of, I know all about portion sizes and I even know about macros. However, when I see food, my mind pretends to know nothing and just grabs whatever it can.

As you can probably imagine, this kind of eating pattern has meant that I have gained quite a lot of weight. But I’ll explain more on that soon. Let me just take you back to the beginning quickly.

Books I Want To Read In 2021

26th Dec 202026th Dec 2020by mxrshmallowqueen3 Comments

I really do have a love-hate relationship with reading. I spent most of 2019 and 2020 in a huge reading slump that made me think I would never enjoy reading again. Luckily, one day at the start of December 2020, I felt in the mood to read a little bit before going to sleep one night.

I’m so grateful that my past self decided to try reading again. I managed to finish that book I had started by reading a little bit each night before going to sleep. I’m now reading my way through a second book and I am loving it.

Since I’m feeling the reading love these days, I figured I should make a little list of books that I want to read during 2021.

Films I’ve Watched Recently ♡ The Sixth Edition

18th Oct 20202nd Nov 2020by mxrshmallowqueen3 Comments

I absolutely love watching films. I try to watch at least a couple of films per week. However, for the last few weeks, I have been way more obsessed with tv shows. I know that this is a blog post where I rate films so I will keep the tv show chat to myself for a bit, but I am hoping to talk about tv shows on this blog more in the future.

Since I have been watching a lot of shows rather than films, it has been quite some time since I posted the fifth edition of this blog series. yet here we are, finally getting around to posting the sixth edition.

As always, some of these films are re-watches and some of these films are first time watches.

My Autumn Bucket List 2020

28th Sep 202028th Sep 2020by mxrshmallowqueen7 Comments

Summer has been a pretty odd experience this year so I’m glad that it’s finally coming to an end. Although, I would say that about summer any year because I just really don’t like the heat too much.

I’ve always been a bigger fan of the colder weather so naturally I prefer Autumn and Winter over Summer. Autumn has just always warmed my heart. It makes me think of fresh starts and beautiful aesthetics.

Whenever it starts to feel a little bit cooler, I start to look forward to movie nights under a blanket with a hot chocolate and marshmallows.

But anyway, since Autumn is here and has been for about a week now, I figured I would share my 2020 Autumn bucket list with you all…

10th Sep 2020by mxrshmallowqueen6 Comments

When 2020 started, I felt like it was a fresh start with a whole bunch of new possibilities. Little did I know, 2020 had a different idea for all of us. This year just really hasn’t been too kind. However, I have decided to look back over the whole 2020/lockdown experience in a more positive way to see what good things have happened so far this year.

So yeah, let’s throw on our positive pants and think about what we are grateful for…

Films I’ve Watched Recently ♡ The Fifth Edition

15th Aug 202015th Aug 2020by mxrshmallowqueen2 Comments

Life keeps throwing me curve balls. Whenever I feel like things are settling down, some new and crazy twist gets thrown at me. However, one thing that stays consistent is my life is my love of films.

I feel like I haven’t posted one of these post types in forever and I haven’t watched that many films since then either. With so much going on in my life, it can be tricky to find the time for a film. I’m hoping that I can find more time from now on though.

Even though I didn’t watch that many films since the fourth edition of this post series, I did watch a few so I figured that I would share this post with you anyway.
