Youtube Style Crush | MarissaLace

               Hiya!

These Youtube style crush posts have been something I've been doing for a while since I'm quite the avid youtube watcher.

Here are so of my previous posts:

Today I wanted to introduce you guys to MarissaLace. On all my other Youtube Style Crush posts I've focused mainly on their style and why I love it whereas I just want to focus on Marissa as a person.

Marissa is 21 and from California. She was primarily a 'beauty guru' but recently made the change to more of a lifestyle type channel and now often posts fitness and health related vids. Not only is she trained in all things hair and beauty (after recently graduating beauty school) so she actually knows what she's talking about she's a sassy queen with lots of personality.

Marissa's videos are full of her down to earth, incredible personality which makes them hilarious to watch no matter what shes talking about. Although her vlogs show this on a whole new level (TheDailyMarissalace) Marissa's vlog channel is by far my favourite along with her advice videos.

She's an incredibly refreshing face to see especially within the beauty community on youtube, she comes across 100% true and genuinely and that she's just being herself. Marissa's also really into thinking positive and going after what you want. She posts a lot of inspiration quotes on instagram and twitter and it's always good to be surrounded by people like that even if it is on social media. (btw she followed me on twitter not too long ago and it made my week!)

Marissa just seems like a seriously sweet, lovely person who makes great videos which are pleasure to watch. If you haven't already, check out some of her vids and I promise you won't be disappointed, she deserves a hell of a lot more subscribers than she has!

Recent Cinema Trips | Mini Movie Reviews

               Hiya!

Wait, what's this? 2 posts in one week.. crazy!

Recently I have actually went to the cinema a lot which is very strange as I rarely go and normally wait for the DVDs.However there has been a tonne of movies I have seriously wanted to see and it's a great excuse to meet up with friends now that I've finished school.

 

 Firstly, after planning on seeing Maleficent but it being sold out, me and a friend decided to see Bad Neighbours as everyone had raved about it and it seemed pretty damn funny. And we were right. It's a pretty typical comedy with a silly storyline and a great cast. Would definitely watch it again and laugh just as much, highly recommend for a super easy, chill watch. Also a bonus that it revolves around Zefron and Dave Franco as frat boys...

 

 After waiting another week we finally got to see Maleficent and boy was it worth the wait. If you don't know Maleficent is about telling her side of the story and what drove her to do what she did to Aurora aka Sleeping Beauty. The movie 100% lived up to the hype it created. Not only was the storyline amazing, shocking and seriously emotional but Angelina Jolie did a flawless job and looked incredible. Would honestly go see it again just for her acting.

 

 Finally, I just got back from seeing The Fault In Our Stars and wow. I sadly haven't read the book yet but I wanted to experience the movie while it was still in the cinema. Although I was pretty pumped having watched just about everything relating to it online beforehand... I really don't know how to express my feelings towards this movie yet. The casting to begin with is exceptional, I'm not just talking about for Hazel and Gus, but all the characters I really loved and thought everyone just did an excellent job. It's the perfect mixture of humour, (Issac is hilarious) heart ache and sweetness all rolled into one. If for some reason you don't plan on seeing this movie you seriously must, it's now up there as one of my favourites and trust me its been a longggg time since a new movie has made it as one of my favs.

 Oh and the soundtrack is such a great, chill listen, check it out for sure.
 

Have you seen any of these movies? What did you think?

What movie's have you been loving recently?

Hope you guys enjoyed!
