2017 has been a pretty boring year for me. I've been unemployed and I've studied part time which means that I have had more free time that I have ever had. I tend to watch a lot of TV shows and hardly ever watch movies, but recently I have found myself pulled towards films more. I only started tracking the films I've seen in the middle of the year so there may be some that I missed out because I forgot about them.

I thought I would include a key to show what my ratings mean because everyone is different. I was going to attempt to link all movies IMDB pages but since there is around 10, I'll just leave a link to IMDB here instead.




★★★★★-Absolutely loved the film, enjoyed every minute of it.
(a lot of the films in the four-star group almost made it into five but I tried to only put my favourites of the year into the five-star group, although I did also feel the need to put my most favourite films from each category in bold too)

★★★★- A great film, I would watch and re-watch happily.
★★★- A good film, I would maybe watch it again.
★★- An ok film, I would probably not watch it again though.
★- A bad/terrible film, I most likely turned it off before it even finished.

I always find that men are the most difficult to buy for at Christmas, so with the help of a few of the men in my life, I compiled a gift guide, so that anyone like me who finds buying for men an absolute chore, can find it a little easier this christmas. So if you're looking for some inspiration, you're in the right place.

Whilst I was on holiday, I made no effort to get a blog post up because I made the most of my time away with my boyfriend and his family. I was unsure of what I wanted to post when I arrived home and Tuesday rolled around, so this morning I decided that I would compile a majority picture post, of snaps I took whilst on my holiday.

Not only do I love all of the pictures that I took making it super hard to pick ones for this post, but I also wanted this to be a post sharing the improvement in my picture-taking skills, and to make the pot something I can look back on and remember my holiday.
