Films I’ve Watched Recently ♡ The Eighth Edition

5th Mar 20215th Mar 2021by mxrshmallowqueen1 Comment

Oh my, it really has been a long time since I posted the seventh edition of this post. I feel like I said that about the sixth edition too though.

However, this time I have a reason (or an excuse, you can decide). I have been rewatching all the Marvel films. I decided to write about those in a separate post though. So yeah, since watching the Marvel films, I’ve not had much time for other films which is why it’s taken me so long to watch enough films for another one of these posts.

But anyway, let’s rate films!

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

Now, here are my rating of my most recently watched films.

Book Review: Roots by Tara O’Connor

9th Feb 202110th Feb 2021by mxrshmallowqueen1 Comment

‘Wrapped in real family history and set amongst the natural beauty of the Irish countryside, Roots is a classic romantic-comedy adventure and a page-turning account of a young woman finding herself. On a journey to the old world ― she discovered a whole new world. After a messy year of heartbreak and setbacks, Tara sets off to Ireland in search of clues to her family’s ancestry, but what she found wasn’t at all what she expected. Some of it has to do with the lack of records, but a lot has to do with John, the charming cartoonist she met on Twitter.’

I stumbled upon this book when scrolling through Prime Reads on Amazon. Graphic novels are one of my favourite things to read and this one seemed pretty simple and cute so I decided to give it a go.

Dating Advice I Wish Someone Gave Me

29th Jan 20212nd Feb 2021by mxrshmallowqueen10 Comments

As a single woman who has been through quite a few failed relationships, I feel like there’s quite a lot of things I’ve learned now that I wish someone would have told me when I first started dating.

Back in June, I shared a post with you all where I explained that I was going through a break up. Since then I have been in and out of the dating scene and it just made me realise a few things that I felt like I should share.

My Relationship With Food And Why Diet Culture Sucks

15th Jan 2021by mxrshmallowqueen7 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 mxrshmallowqueen4 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.
