Hiiii. Every month I manage to find many things that are intriguing and worthy of being calling a favorite of mine. This month, was a lot of sitting in front of my trusty computer and watching things while I await my family to return from work or school... As terribly boring as that may sound, and I promise you I am social, I manage to make the time alone valuable through various internetual things.
I guess we'll start with all things TV/Movie since that's all I seem to do nowadays...
My first two favorites come from Netflix. Now that I am no longer in an eternal state of emergency due to higher education I can achieve my year long goal of watching everything on my "To Watch On Netflix...." list. House Of Cards can now be checked off the list, well season 1 at least.. Because I am now into all shows Presidential due to my obsession with Scandal, I decided that House of Cards would be a good way to go. I originally was inspired to watch the show because a youtuber/member of the band McFly, Tom Fletcher, was watching it with his wife. The first season was phenomenal. I have a bit of uncomfort with Kevin Spacey, who is the main character of the show. Spacey manages to choose very distinctly bizarre characters, AKA his character in American Beauty, which is also a phenomenal movie. If you have not yet seen it, please go watch it. But House of Cards is great, the first season was so so so good. The show is filled with twisty twists and you have to pay attention to everything. Please go watch it. Also Kate Mara is in the show and I adore her.
Next up is another Netflix Original, Marvel's Daredevil. Basically, all things Marvel are bound to be extraordinary, this was by no means an exception. I had no idea on anything having to do with the character Daredevil, besides the fact that the ever dreamy Ben Affleck played him in the movie Daredevil. I was going into this blind, not really knowing what to expect. And I came to know that this is one of the best shows I have ever binge watched and spend 13 hours of my life watching. The 13 hour moment on the couch was so worth it. Charlie Cox plays a blind attorney who's alternative senses are thus heightened making him a super human. Its great and the surround cast is great. The story line and writing of the story is phenomenal. please please please go watch this show. It's one hundred percent worth it. I guarantee it.
Straying away from Netflix and onward to Red Box, because God bless Red Box. I was yet again blessed with a free movie code and I was especially excited because a certain movie that I have been dying to see was still at Red Box. Love, Rose is based on the book Love, Rosie. The main characters Alex and Rosie are played by Sam Claflin and Lily Collins, a lady whom I just found out is an offspring of Phil Collins. YEAH. THE GUY WHO WROTE THE TARZAN SOUNDTRACK OF MY LIFE. Just a tiny life changing revelation. Anyway. The book is written in letter style, the movie is not, which is only a little disappointing. The disappointment is kept to a minimum because of Sam's smile.
Like HONESTLY. Just look at that face. HE IS SO CUTE. The movie highlights the relationship between not only Rosie and Alex through the years, but also the confusing relationship between love and timing. The movie is absolutely adorable and the chemistry between Lily and Sam is to die for. They're just so gosh dang cute, go watch the movie. Also, it's extremely British...which add about ten thousand gold stars from me...
Away from movies and onto TV, THE BACHELORETTE IS BACK. Its honestly riveting that I came to the count that I have been watching this show for 6 seasons... I feel absolutely no shame at all. This season is a littleee bit different from others. This season we have Kaitlyn (YAAYYY) and Britt (not very much yay..) in the search to find love. I just really love watching this show and no one can convince me otherwise, so leave me be. Or come over and watch with me... I made an entire post about my reactions to the first week but I didn't post it because its been two weeks...so its just aging away in my drafts folder and I want to post it... Anyway I adore the show and the guys on the show this season are absolutely to die for. I am personally rooting for Chris the Dentist because hes adorable and any man who drives a cupcake car can continue to drive that baby right into my heart. *swoooon*
Most favorites posts or videos often include alot of products, I am not a materialistic/ product kind of girl, but I do have one thing that I would die without and have been using just in the past couple of months. I hate having to go to and get my hair cut, you practically have to drag me. I take tons of pride in having long hair and cutting my hair is my worst nightmare, they always cut it far too short for my liking.. So in order to keep my hair looking good and avoiding my mothers scolding at how split ending my hair looks, I found this magic spray from Tresemme. The leave-in conditioning spray is from their split remedy line of products and it has been a god send. After a shower, you just spray this all over towel dried hair and comb it through to the ends and when your hair dries its as silky and perfect as freshly cut hair and I could praise the product as my own god. Honestly, this is the best thing ever.
In case you haven't noticed, it's kind of graduation season! Not for me obvs, but for those who I have known since they were little itty bitty freshman. I was very fortunate to be home to attend and celebrate the graduating class of 2015 at Fariview High School. I gotta be honest, I don't thing anything can get more nostalgic than this. I had many people whom I call my very close friends graduate and I could not be more happy and proud of them. These graduates I have known since their freshman year and now they're no longer high school freshman, but college freshman. Like how is that even possible. I was just a gorgeous moment to see these young individuals ready for bigger and better things...*mom cries for ten thousand years*
As we all know, graduation is the station of inspirational quotes. I was never extremely moved by any quotes during my graduation or the other 4 FHS graduations I have attended, but this graduation is different. During a speech made by Fairview's principal, he made a plethora of references to famous quotes. But this one is one I had never heard before and it will stay with me for probably forever. I think I've thought about it at least once everyday since the graduation.
I adore finding music and engulfing myself in it. This month I created a playlist of my favorite songs, I would love to go through each one and explain why I like them, but I think you've heard too much from me so I'll just leave that playlist for you to listen to here.. Please enjoy and jam to your hearts content.
Well, that is all I have for you this month in the area of favorites. Thanks for reading, you're the bomb diggity doggest.
Talk to you soon.
