What I've Been Watching On Netflix

Hey guys so lately I've been watching a lot of netflix in my spare time. I have a load of tv shows that I love on there, so thought I'd share a couple of the ones I've been watching with you. These are in no particular order. So let's just get into it.

Big Mouth | 2017

"Teenage friends find their lives upended by the wonders and horrors of puberty."

Okay so this is first on the list because I'm actually watching this whilst I'm writing this blog post. This tv series probably won't be to everyone's taste, but I find a lot of it hilarious. It discusses a lot of the issues you have whilst you're going through puberty, however some of the characters can be a little bit problematic.

Friends | 1994

"Follow the personal and professional lives of six 20 to 30 - something - year - old friends living in Manhattan."

So I used to watch this when I was a kid and if you follow me on twitter you've probably seen that I've just finished it. I loved this when I first watched it and I love it just as much now. It brings back so much nostalgia and I binged it in about 2 months. Definitely worth the watch if you haven't seen it before. (Also side note, Ross is a douche)

Dynasty | 2017

"Follows two of America's wealthiest families as they feud for control over their fortune and their children."

Okay so the main reason I wanted to watch this is because Elizabeth Gillies is in it. I'm really glad I started watching it because it's a really great tv series. I didn't originally know that there was a 80s tv show or that this was a remake. I might have to watch it after this series finished.

Riverdale | 2016

"A subversive take on Archie and his friends, exploring small town life, the darkness and weirdness bubbling beneath Riverdale's wholesome facade."

So I started watching this about halfway through the first season because I didn't want to give into the hype. But I'm so glad that I did. This tv show is amazing. There's so many twists and turns in this tv show and it always leaves you wanting more each episode. My favourite character is definitely Cherry Blossom.

Once Upon A Time | 2011

"A young woman with a troubled past is drawn to a small town in Maine where fairy tales are to be believed"

Okay so there's a lot of seasons in this series and there's a lot of episodes per season. So it makes for a really great binge watch. When you watch it please get past the first season. The first season isn't the best out of all of them but once you get past it it's an amazing series.

RuPaul's Drag Race | 2009

"RuPaul searches for America's next drag superstar."

So the only trailer I could find is for season 9 but all of the series are pretty much the same so it doesn't make too much of a difference. I love RuPaul's drag race and I get excited over all of the seasons contestants. It's currently on season 10 and I've been watching this season every single week.

Jane The Virgin | 2014

"A young, devout Catholic woman discovers that she was accidentally artificially inseminated."

I absolutely adore this tv show. This is one of the most amazing tv shows I've watched for a long time. It'll make you laugh, it'll make you cry, you'll have so many emotions watching this TV show. It's definitely made me feel more interested in trying to find some good tellanovellas (if anyone has any please leave them in the comments down below). Gina Rodriguez is also one of the most gorgeous women I've seen on this planet.

And that's most of what I've been watching on netflix lately. I'd definitely recommend checking out all of these tv shows. Do you have any recommendations to watch on netflix? (Please keep in mind it's Netflix UK for me). Have you watched any of these? What did you think of them? Please leave your comments down below.

Have a wonderful day.

Love, Lyndsay.

Hey guys so today I'm going to be doing the blogger tag. I haven't been tagged by anyone however I really wanted to do a get to know me type of blog post and I thought this would be the easiest way to do it. So let's just get into it. (If you want to answer these questions too I tag you all!)

Question 3: What's Your Biggest Blog - Related Pet Peeve?

When people tell others what they should/shouldn't do with their blogs. I don't mean when it's specifically been asked either and constructive criticism is okay. But blogs are meant to be an expression of their writer's individuality. Don't try and control what someone else can and can't do with theirs.

When people don't use their manners. Please and thank you's go a long way.

I mainly catch up with tv shows on netflix. I've been watching Friends a lot lately. I also love reading and listening to music.

Question 16: If You Could Live Anywhere In The World, Where Would You Live?

Question 20: What Blogger Do You Secretly Want To Be Best Friends With?

No one to be honest. It's not that I don't like making friends with people but I don't have that whole idolism around people who I watch or read online.

Question 21: Who Is Your Biggest Inspiration?

As cheesey as it sounds. My mother is my biggest inspiration. She's always been the strongest woman in my life and is an amazing role model. If I could aspire to by like anyone it would definitely be my mum.

Pottermore

Hey so if there's one thing you need to know about me it is that I'm a huge Harry Potter fan. It was the series (both books and movies) that I grew up with and have very fond memories of delving into the magical school of Hogwarts. I loved every adventure Harry and his friends would go on and other characters we would meet along the way, *ahem* Luna.

So when Pottermore first came out I knew I had to go on it, and I did. However my laptop that I had back then was rubbish and I unfortunately wasn't able to go on it for long periods of time without it crashing. So today, I thought I would go back onto my profile on Pottermore to find that my account was no longer there...

Which meant I had to start all over again.

Now don't get me wrong, the thought of starting all over again wasn't too bothersome, however the fact that I've been a proud hufflepuff for the last couple of years of my life and they've changed the quiz sort of made me worry that I might have changed houses since the last time I went on...

So I redid the quiz, and they also had a couple of more quizzes on there so I just wanted to share with you what I got.

My house:

Okay so this is the one that put my on edge, as I thought that I would not get hufflepuff again and then would cry over all the hufflepuff memorabilia I have managed to find over the years.

Thank god I'm still a hufflepuff.

Like seriously I don't think I could have dealt with being in any other house. Hufflepuff is the hardest to find memorabilia for and I honestly love being a Hufflepuff so much.

My Patronus:

I honestly don't remember what my patronus was last time i logged onto Pottermore. It's been so long so I was excited to see what I'd get this time. I was really hoping for something cute like a fox or a doormouse.

My patronus however is a dapple grey stallion. Which is sort of cool. Although what does that say about me?

My Wand:

So I do know that last time I was on pottermore, this was not an option. So I was excited to take this test and see what kind of wand I would have.

I ended up getting a "Pear wood with a unicorn hair core 11 1/2' and slightly yielding flexibility." It's quite cool it has unicorn hair in and I'd love to see a wand like that in real life. (But alas, unicorns aren't real)

My Ilvermorny House:

Okay so I honestly still have no idea what this means, when I have a minute I'm going to have a proper read of the pottermore site but apparently I'm a Wampus? I don't know whether that's good or bad but we'll have to see!

And that's all the quizzes I could take regarding my page on pottermore.

The website has definitely changed since I was last on it, but it also means it's a little smoother to use than it used to be and is also easier to navigate. I'm just gutted that my old profile has somehow been deleted, but hey, at least I'm still a Hufflepuff.

Have a wonderful day.

Love, Lyndsay.

A Fresh Start

Stock Image From Pixabay

Hey, so as you can probably tell I've deleted pretty much everything that was on this blog, and trust me, there was a lot on this blog. I've been thinking about doing this for a very long time, and have only just worked up the courage to do it.

So the reason why... I wasn't enjoying writing what I was writing about and this blog is supposed to be something fun that I can come back to when I want and when I have time and not have to worry about the rest of the things that are going on in my life right now.

I made this blog to escape, and somehow, it just turned into a chore.

This blog was never supposed to be a chore.

I was getting anxious about not getting out my monthly blog posts such as new releases, what I read's, monthly book hauls and what I watcheds. I was kicking myself for not having the time to get it out on the first. Or not having the energy to write the rest until the end of the month.

This blog is not supposed to be something that is making me anxious.

So this is why I'm starting anew. My blog is going to be for me from now on, and if I can't get a blog post out in time I'm not gonna panic about it. If I don't post my monthly posts I'm not going to worry. I'm going to write about what I want to write about.

So hi, I'm Lyndsay, I'm a 24 year old woman who lives with her partner James and dog Ozzy. I love books and movies and sometimes I will blog about them. And sometimes, I won't. Hopefully this new start means you get to meet the real me, and not the anxious mess that was running this blog before.

Have a wonderful day.

Love, Lyndsay
