June Favourites ❤

Hi everyone!

I hope you've all had a great month, if not I hope July is better.

June has been a really good month so here's what I've been loving.

Me Before You

I hadn't read the book that this film is based on before watching this film so I didn't really know what to expect apart from the fact that it's a romantic drama that will probably make the viewer shed some tears. I can say that this film was definitely better than what I expected and it has made me want to read the book. The performances from the two leads, Emilia Clarke as Lou Clark, a young woman who has a positive outlook on life and Sam Claflin as Will Traynor who is a quadriplegic after the result of a motorbike accident and his personality is a contrast to Lou's. He sees no desire to live but his life changes after meeting the optimistic Lou. I'd definitely recommend this film to people who enjoy romantic dramas and don't mind crying.

It's Not Me, It's You

If you know me, you'll know that I love Vicky Pattison and have been supporting her ever since I met her at her book signing in September 2014. Since releasing her autobiography almost two years ago, she has come a long way. She has published two novels (All That Glitters and A Christmas Kiss), had her own TV series where she helped various people with their problems (Judge Geordie), won a reality TV show (I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!) and now she is part of a new panel-based series on Channel 5 called It's Not Me, It's You. Vicky is the captain of one of two teams (the other is captained by Kelly Brook) and the show is presented by Eamonn Holmes. There are three different games. In the first, Eamonn will ask if the audience decided if something was a deal breaker and the teams must decide which is the right answer in order to win a point. The questions are all based on romantic relationships. In the show, we hear the team's opinions on certain things. There are also elements of comedy especially from Vicky who doesn't hold back when she talks about her past relationships. The first episode has only just aired but the show will be on every Thursday on Channel 5 at 10pm.

Just Like Fire - Pink

Last month, the sequel to Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland, Alice Through The Looking Glass was released and, with most movies, a famous artist will record and release a single in order to promote the movie. With the previous film, Avril Lavigne released a song called Alice which was really good. This time, Pink has released a song called Just Like Fire which is a lot more upbeat than Avril's song. The video is original too and features Pink's real life husband, Carey Hart, and their daughter, Willow, as they travel through a Wonderland and meet some of the characters from the film. 

Highlight of the month: Seeing Emma Blackery and Busted on the Pigs Can Fly tour

03/06/16

I thought that I could also include a 'Highlight of the Month' in my monthly favourites because this night was definitely one of the best days of my life. In case you didn't know, I'm a huge fan of Emma Blackery and have been supporting her ever since I started watching her YouTube videos in 2013. I think she's really funny and creative and she's also a talented singer/songwriter too. When I heard Emma was touring with Busted on their Pigs Can Fly tour, I was so happy for her. The tour was coming to Manchester twice (an extra date had been released due to popular demand) and I wasn't going to go until I noticed there was one ticket left for a seat close to the stage for only £50! So of course I bought it. Then I realised, Oh my God, I'm finally seeing Emma Blackery live! (And Busted of course) Friday the 3rd June finally came and I couldn't be more excited. I got to Manchester Arena about 5pm and queued about an hour until the doors opened. I got my 'EB' t-shirt which is a part of Emma's merchandise and went to my seat. I was really happy with my seat. At about 7:30pm, the instrumental to Emma's latest single, Sucks To Be You and I jumped out of my seat and there she was! I quickly got out my camera and recorded her singing Sucks To Be You, Look What You Made Me Do and Perfect. Despite having a cold, she still came out and performed for the crowd and she didn't disappoint! Her setlist was short but it has made me even more excited to see her at her tour in October. Busted were amazing too. They really know how to entertain an audience. I was only about 4/5 when they were popular but I remember jumping on my bed and dancing to Year 3000. I also love Thunderbirds Are Go, Falling For You and What I Go To School For. Overall, I had a great night and will definitely be one of my biggest highlights of 2016.

That's what I've been loving this past month.

Thank you for reading my blog, it means a lot.
