August Favourites

It's doesn't seem that long ago when i start my March Favourites and was excited for Summer, and most of the time lately it feels like summer is coming to a brisk end with thunder storm and showers making appearance as well as one foggy morning and chilly days and this limbo of weather annoys me as sometimes it can't start of beautiful like any another Summer's day and end like Autumn's evening (cuddle up with my dog drinking Hot Chocolate). I'd rather be one or the other but right now i'm favouring Autumn due to shops being out the A/W collections (why is there so much pretty things i can't afford i'm looking at you SimplyBe and you Lavish Alice blush jacket) more cosy nights, fireworks, Halloween, hot chocolate, chunky knit wear and to enjoy a nice hot meal. But here it is my August Favourites all the things I've been loving.

Cinema

Jurassic World

Yes i finally got to see it after months of wanting to and it did not disappoint me at all, Bonus point Chris Pratt is not to bad to look at. I'm also so glad they set it up for another one to be made by making it clear unlike the original Jurassic Park. I'm surprised I didn't jump and what i did there was one bit i jumped out and it wasn't a 'scary part' but i can't remember what it was now, but the people in front of me did jump several times. So good job Universal, keep it up can't wait for the next one.

One film i haven't seen yet but i'm sure i will is Pixar's Inside Out.... it's Disney and i am going to see it tomorrow so i'm sure it'll creep into my September Favourites.

DVD

Cinderella

Although I never saw it at the cinema, watching it on my tiny T.V was just as good as sitting in the cinema. I love this whole re-do of classic that Disney are doing as well as the tales from the Villains point of view too. Making them fresh, new, exciting and it makes you understand and see the tale in a new light which i love. Cinderella still keeps too it original roots but you get a bit more of a back story and how she came to be known as Cinderella, also how she always had courage and was kind to everyone even though i'm sure no one would begrudged her from adding rat dropping to her stepmother's and stepsisters food. Final point the blue dress is amazing especially when she dances it made 7 year old me incredibly happy.

Beauty

Dior: Couture Colours and effects Eyeshadow Palette - 566 Versailles

This palette i got for my 21st birthday from my sister it's so pretty and all the colours are so perfect. The palette is a nude and metallic variation (golds, silvers, coppers and of course a dark colour) and of the shades they are all shimmer. One of the nudes is a nice neutral shade to wear day to day to make your eyes pop.

Vegas Nay Lashes by Eyelure

I bought three of the four strip lashes they do but they only had three in superdrug when i purchased them and it was 3 for 2 so bonus they only had three in. I purchase the Grand Glamour which are the most fullest out of all of the ones i got and i'd call this my 'go all out pair' they are double layered like my normal going out pair and i love them. Shining Star this pair are one layer but still full and flirty and these would be my 'i'm not making an effort effort' pair like i just threw these on because they're not my going out lashes but i wanted to look nice. Easy Elegance is the finally pair i bought these are very much subtle full lashes these would be my 'i don't want to look like I've made a ton of effort but i'm wearing lashes so some effort happen' these are the lashes i'd probably wear day to day if i wanted to make the effort or if you was going on a date and you didn't wanna look like you've spent 5 hours on your face.

Everything Else

Shower

Soap & Glory: Sugar Crush - Body Wash

This body wash is more creamier then an shower gel which makes me believe it's more moisturising then a gel, it smells amazing out of the bottle but the only thing is you don't smell of it for long once you rinsed the suds away unless you use the Sugar Crush Body Mist.

Crafty

Recently I've become partly crafty (not a clue were it has come from) i have two cork boards in my room which were for notes and calender's etc. One of them i had also written on at the age of about 13 so yup embarrassing scribbles and words were there, and now they don't really have a lot on them. So i had the Idea to put my Polaroids up, so to cover up the embarrassing scribbles of 13 year old me i put wrapping paper over the board and pinned it into place (the wrapping paper is silver with a pink/purple paisley pattern on it, super pretty) then I pinned gold wrapped string and pegged my pictures up in ordered that they happened and now i can't wait to do the same thing to my picture wall (which is in progress) just minus the wrapping paper. My picture wall is going to also be a memory wall as well as having quotes to live by of course but my kind of quotes such as ' Always be yourself unless you can be like a Unicorn then always be a Unicorn' words to live by.

So there it is another months favourites, also I've become more organised by getting a note book for blog post ideas so when ever i have an idea i can just jot it down and go from there. Things are looking up for me with getting replies and interviews for jobs i'm staying positive. So if your feeling down as things aren't going your way don't give up as it's just around the corner whatever your waiting for. As good things always come to those who wait, So just stay positive, have courage and be kind.

Dear SeaWorld... Let me Help you get back your Soul.

Dear SeaWorld..... Let me help you.

So the past couple of weeks I've seen many of online newspaper articles saying how your profits and attendance to the park has dropped since the film Blackfish was brought to light. And hundreds upon thousand of people tweeting, writing status etc. to warn people from going to SeaWorld. So before anyone judges me and thinks i'm into them keeping killer whales in tiny pools i am not, this blog post is being written to help them if possible and if Mr/Mrs SeaWorld will listen, as i think thousands of people complaining will not make them change their mind, so here i am writing a calm blog post and i am going to speak their language of boosting Profits and Attendances Rates and hopefully they will want to listen.

Firstly you should think about stopping the 'performances' of the Whales and replacing the area/stadium with a bigger area for them if they really can't be release to the wild the area should have other sea-life and plants and fishes so they can start to remember what it's like to be a whale and eat live fish and so visitors don't lose the wonder of seeing them have a small section for visitors to watch them without using flash photography, cause i know i would not want flashing lights in my face all day everyday would you? Let the whales be whales again and stop the back flips, spins etc. This should happen if it is true they really can't be released into the wild.

Secondly make another theme park near the coast where you could do boat rides to go see whales in their natural environment, i think a lot more of people/visitors would like to see the whales do what they do in the wild. (and if they don't see any either offer them a partial refund or offer them another other boat trip a different day and yes one day it may get to the point where the whales come up to the boat and interact with the boat but that is what will make it all the more brilliant witnessing it)

Thirdly i think the welfare and area's for all animals you have in your care should be changed appropriately to their needs and wants as well as having new area's to educate people and children how to look after our oceans and animals because they may be pretty and full of life now but may one day they'll be nothing left.

Do you want to be the generation that does nothing to help?

Do you want to be the generation that starts caring?

And Finally if your profits do go up why not give a percentage of them to charity that help Sea-Life and the oceans?

So if you agree with what i wrote Share it on Facebook, Tweet and Retweet on Twitter and any other Media to help it reach Mr/Mrs SeaWorld.

This Post may do nothing at all but at least i can say i tried to give SeaWorld it's soul back for i am evieeviolet and i speak for those you cannot hear..

Disney & Me

If you haven't heard of Disney or Disney Parks or seen a Disney Film then which rock have you been living under for the past 60 years or so and what a deprived childhood you had. Now most of the time when i say i like (understatement of the year) Disney most people say isn't that for kids...... no no no just stop and educate yourself with some of Walt Disney own words 'You're dead if you aim only for kids. Adults are only kids grown up, anyway'.

Disney is for EVERYONE i can't say it enough it's not all girly with princesses and fluffy bunny's, it's monsters scaring, old men finding their paradise after losing their loved one, a bad guy realising being bad isn't that bad, toys have feelings too and things are not always as they seem and so much more. Disney over the years has changed and adapted with the time as well as staying true to Walt's vision of the Happiest of place on earth. And with the reviving old classic from either villains or a hero's point of view or just giving it another layer it's turning old classics into new exciting version with making you feeling for villains and understand why they did what they did.

Disney Parks are also for everyone if you like roller coaster then at least all parks have a hand full of them, (Rocking Roller coaster, Hotel Tower of Terror, Space Mountain, Expedition Everest, Big Thunder mountain, Splash Mountain, Indiana Jones Adventure/The Temple of Peril) but some of my favourite rides include Phantom Manor/Haunted Mansion, Tower of Terror, Peter Pan and Pirates of the Caribbean (Disneyland Paris is still original for the time being until the close it for a big refurbishment to include Jack Sparrow personally i prefer it without, the ride inspired the film that keep it that way)

So why do I love Disney so much?

I Love Disney because it takes me back to being a child when i use to sit and watch Little Mermaid when my mum was making tea, watching Beauty and the Beast while she cleaned and watched Cinderella and laughing at Gus Gus's laugh (my mum recorded me as a baby not even 1 laughing), visiting Disneyland Paris multiple times with my family and loving meeting the character the rides and going to America for a once in a life time holiday to go to both Disneyland and Disney World (as well as doing Discovery Cove and universal etc.) and riding the Hollywood Tower of Terror when it was brand new. Disney gave me great memories that I'll treasure forever.
