Short Af Movie Review | Charlie's Angels (2019)


Hey guys, so today I'm going to be doing a review on the 2019 movie "Charlie's Angels". As usual this review is going to be short and sweet (like the title suggests) and spoiler free (however there will be the iMDB synopsis in this and sometimes they contain spoilers, however 9/10 times they don't. It's just something to keep in mind if you're planning on watching the series.)



"When a young systems engineer blows the whistle on a dangerous technology, Charlie's Angels are called into action, putting their lives on the line to protect us all."

The reasoning for me wanting to see this movie is that I saw the trailer for this in the cinema and thought it looked amazing. I loved the 2000's Charlie's Angels and was excited to see this reboot. This movie is definitely all based around girl power and how strong women can be. I loved the new casting and honestly found myself laughing a lot during this. This movie definitely has a lot of twists and turns and I would recommend this to anyone who enjoyed the 2000's Charlie's Angels (hey even if you didn't, try this one, you might enjoy it more!). It's definitely one I have saved to my watchlist on nowtv to watch again.

My favourite characters in the movie:

- Sabina Wilson: Okay so I'm not someone who dislikes Kristen Stewart's acting, her first role for me was in Zathura and I loved her in that and I definitely love her in this. I just love how unapologetic Sabina is and she was honestly my favourite.

- Boz: I can't say too much about Boz without any spoilers I just love how her character was portrayed and keeps you on your toes.

- Langston: Langston is just baby. Enough said.

My least favourite characters in the movie:

- Jonny Smith: I just found him generally annoying throughout the movie but I guess that's how his character is supposed to be written, still, if I had to pick a least favourite it would be him.

I loved this movie a lot and if you have the chance to please watch it!

What did you think of the movie? Who were your favourite and least favourite characters? Do you have any movies, series or books you'd recommend for me to watch/read or want me to do a short AF review on? Please let me know down in the comments below!


As always, have a wonderful day.

Short AF Movie Review | Birds Of Prey


Hey guys, so today I'm going to be doing a review on the movie "Birds Of Prey". As usual this review is going to be short and sweet (like the title suggests) and spoiler free (however there will be the IMDB synopsis in this and sometimes they contain spoilers however 9/10 times they don't. It's just something to keep in mind if you're planning on watching the series.)



"After splitting with the Joker, Harley Quinn joins superheroes Black Canary, Huntress and Renee Montoya to save a young girl from an evil crime lord."

So believe it or not I was one of the very few people who enjoyed Harley Quinn in the movie "Suicide Squad" so I was super excited to hear that a movie mainly revolving around her was coming out. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and loved that there were a lot of bad ass female leads within it. The only complaint I would have about this movie is that the second half of the movie seemed to move very quickly. The cinematography in the movie is beautiful and I love that some of the things that happen in it are very realistic if this was in fact, real life. This movie is action packed and I will definitely be watching this again!

My favourite characters in the movie:
- Black Canary: Black canary is honestly such a beautiful character and I adore her. I love how badass she is throughout the movie and how she holds herself.
- The huntress: The huntress made me laugh so much, not in a bad way, I just love her personality so much but I also really love May Winstead so maybe I'm just bias.

My least favourite characters in the movie:
- Victor Zsasz: Okay so I don't like this guy because he's super creepy. He just makes me really uncomfortable. Great villain though.

I loved this movie so much and if you're into the DC/Marvel movies I would definitely recommend it!

What did you think of the movie? Who were your favourite and least favourite characters? Do you have any movies, series or books you'd recommend for me to watch/read or want me to do a short AF review on? Please let me know down in the comments below!

As always, have a wonderful day.

The Blogger Tag

 


Hey guys, so I'm not gonna lie to you, the reason I'm doing the bloggers tag today is because I was supposed to utilise yesterday to write some more short AF reviews and instead ended up finding the owner for a stray dog. So today we'll be doing the blogger tag. I found this on Bournemouth Girl's blog and I thought it would be fun to answer the questions.. So lets jump straight into it.


Do you have any pets, if so what are they and what are they called?

I have a dog called Ozzy, you can find out more about him in the pet tag I did the other week.


What is your favourite social media for blogging?

I really enjoy twitter, I appreciate how much support you can get through it from other bloggers as well as the ability to find more people to share your content with through blogging retweets.


How tall are you?

I am 5ft 5 inches!


Do you have a hidden talent, if so what?

I can do the cup song (but I think after pitch perfect everyone can now).


What is your biggest blog - related pet peeve?

I don't think I have one (yet). 


What is your biggest non - blog related pet peeve?

People who are rude or bitchy. I'm too old to deal with it.


What is your favourite way to spend your free time when you are alone?

My favourite way to spend my free time is to play animal crossing or reading.


What is your favourite junk food?

I love a good big mac and some chicken nuggets from Mcdonalds.


If you could only drink one beverage (besides water) for the rest of your life, what would it be?

7up free cherry flavour,


What's your favourite movie?

I'd have to say my favourite movie is probably Hocus Pocus (yes I know it's a halloween movie, but I want that spook all year around.)


What were your favourite lessons in school?

Definitely maths and ethics & philosophy.


What blogger do you secretly want to be best friends with?

I don't really know of many bloggers at the moment! So I don't secretly wanna be best friends with anyone!


Who is your biggest inspiration?

My mother and Oma.


What is one of your favourite highstreet shops?

Definitely TK Maxx, they always have the best candles. As for clothes being a plus size woman I don't really shop on the high street as there are not that many options for me.


Are you in education or work?

At this current time I am in neither.


What are your favourite fiction and non - fiction books?

My favourite fiction is Pet Semetary by Stephen King. I don't believe I've actually read on a non fiction book in a while so I couldn't honestly tell you.


Where is one place you would like to visit?

Japan.


Where do you like to write your blog posts?

I write my blog posts on the big cuddle sofa I have in my lounge. I like to be super cosy.


I tag anyone who wants to do this post.


I hope you learned a little bit more about me. What is a cool fact about you? Are you a blogger? Post your links down in the comments below so I can give you a follow!


As always, have a wonderful day.

Short AF Series Review | She - Ra And The Princesses Of Power


 Hey guys, so today I'm going to be doing a review on the TV series "She - Ra And The Princesses Of Power". As usual this review is going to be short and sweet (like the title suggests) and spoiler free (however there will be the IMDB synopsis in this and sometimes they contain spoilers however 9/10 times they don't. Its just something to keep in mind if you're planning on watching the series.)



"She - Ra, Princess of Power, leads a rebellion to free her land of Etheria from the monstrous invaders the Horde."

So as most 90's kids I watched the originals of these when I was younger (as they used to rerun a lot of 80's cartoons) so when I saw there was a reboot I obviously thought what everyone else who originally watched thought "they're going to ruin a classic show". Man, I was wrong. I love this series so much and I am devastated that it came to an end (even though it ended perfectly). The art is beautiful in this series and so are all of the characters. I love how inclusive this tv series is and how wonderful the story of all their friendships are. This series is very wholesome and I would definitely recommend this to everyone. 

My favourite characters in the series:
- Spinerella: Spinerella is the plus sized babe we need in every tv series. If you know me you know I cosplay and it's nice finding people that look like you to cosplay. I love her relationship with her wife and I just adore her all around.
- Catra: I adore Catra so much, she starts off as the character that you love to hate but her backstory is heartbreaking and I'm so happy how her character development went and where she ended up in the series.
- Bow: Bow is just a wonderful character all around, just watch the series, you'll see what I mean!

My least favourite characters in the series:
- Mermista: Look, I still love her but in certain parts of the series she just gets slightly annoying and has a very edgier than you attitude.
- Shadow weaver: Shadow weaver makes for such a good bad guy in the fact that everything about her makes you wanna hate her. 

I adored this series and I wish it never ended but unfortunately all good things must come to an end! If you get a chance to please watch the series!

What did you think of the series? Who were you favourite and least favourite characters? Do you have any movies, series or books you'd recommend for me to watch/read or want me to do a short AF review on? Please let me know down in the comments below!

As always, have a wonderful day.

Short AF Series Review | Luke Cage


 Hey guys, so today I'm going to be doing a review on the TV series "Luke Cage". As usual this review is going to be short and sweet (like the title suggests) and spoiler free (however there will be the IMDB synopsis in this and sometimes they contain spoilers however 9/10 times they don't. It's just something to keep in mind if you're planning on watching the series).



"When a sabotaged experiment gives him super strength and unbreakable skin, Luke Cage becomes a fugitive attempting to rebuild his life in Harlem and must soon confront his past and fight a battle for the heart of his city."


So the main reason I wanted to watch this is because I'd already watched Jessica Jones and Luke had been introduced to us through Jessica Jones. This series is very action packed and has one of my favourite actors Rosario Dawson in which was an instant win for me. This series kept me on the edge of my seat and definitely left me wanting more. If you're not into action this may not be the series for you, but for me it's the perfect mixture of action and superhero. I love how gritty this movie gets and wish there was more than what they gave us. Sadly this series got cancelled however if they end up reviving the series I will definitely be binging it again!


My Favourite characters in the series:

- Luke Cage: Obviously the main character of the series is one of my favourites. I love the character development with him and love that his main objective is just to protect those around him.

- Claire Temple: I love Rosario Dawson okay? I just think she played Claire beautifully and she just makes me happy with whatever she is in.


My least favourite characters in the series:

- Cottonmouth: Hear me out, I believe all of the characters were really well written within this series but if I had to choose a least favourite it would be cottonmouth. He just irritated me in certain parts of the series. He was still a really well written character however.


I loved watching this series and hopefully one day netflix (or another company) will revive this series again! If you get the chance to definitely watch the series!


What did you think of the series? Who were you favourite and least favourite characters? Do you have any movies, series or books you'd recommend for me to watch/read or want me to do a short AF review on? Please let me know down in the comments below!


As always, have a wonderful day.

Short AF Series Review | Jessica Jones

Hey guys, so today I'm going to be doing a review on the tv series "Jessica Jones". As usual this review is going to be short and sweet (like the title suggests) and spoiler free (However there will be the IMDB synopsis in this and sometimes they can contain spoilers however 9/10 times they don't. It's just something to keep in mind if you're planning on watching the series).


"Following the tragic end of her brief supehero career, Jessica Jones tries to rebuild her life as a private investigator, dealing with cases involving people with remarkable abilities in New York City."

So the main reason I watched this series is one, I'm a lover of comics or anything comic related and two, the trailer for this series made me extra excited for this series to come out! This series has definitely made Jessica Jones one of my favourite Marvel characters. I love the way that she's portrayed and I feel like even if you're not into comics but you're into action you would really enjoy this tv series! There's a lot of character development with all the characters (especially Jessica) and I have pretty much binged this as it came out. This series was really entertaining to watch and also kept me on the edge of my seat.

My favourite people in the series:
Jessica Jones: Obviously the main character has to be one of my favourites. I love how sarcastic she is to everyone around her and I loved the development in her character throughout the series.
Luke Cage: The introduction of Luke in Jessica's life was perfect and absolutely ties the series that interlock together. I love that he can (mostly) deal with Jessica's attitude and that he can be just as sarcastic as her.

My least favourite people in the series:
Jeri Hogarth: Honestly if you watch the series you would see that this woman is one of the most horrible people in the series. I just think she's selfish and manipulative and I hate the way she treats other characters.
Dorothy Walker: Dorothy's character was also very self serving within the series. The emotional manipulation she put Trish through sometimes was hard to see and as much as they try and give her some character growth it just wasn't enough to completely redeem her.
Kilgrave: Okay so Kilgrave was a very well put together villain in the fact that everything he does/did makes you want to hate him. 

The series was definitely worth watching and I honestly wish there were more. If you're into comic books I would definitely recommend watching this series, even if you're not and you want to watch something full of action I would recommend this tv series.

What did you think of the tv series? Who were your favourite and least favourite characters? Do you have any movies, series or books you'd recommend for me to watch/read or want me to do a short AF review on? Please let me know down in the comments below!

Have a wonderful day.

The Furry Friend Tag | Ozzy



Hey guys so today I thought I'd take part in the furry friends tag as I have yet to introduce you to my beautiful boy! We're just going to jump straight into this one so here are the questions.

1: What is your pet's name?
My pet's name is Ozzy.

2: What kind of pet is it and what breed?
Ozzy is a dog, he's a mongrel. (He is a mix of English Bull Terrier and Rodesian Ridgeback).

3: How long have you had your pet?
We have had him for around 3 years!

4: How did you get your pet?
We rescued him from the RSPCA.

5: How old is your pet?
Ozzy is 10 years old (he is a very old boy)

6: What are some quirky things about your pet's personality?
Ozzy will bark at you when you ignore him, he is not a mean dog he just genuinely wants you to play with him. (He especially does this at the vets when the vet is not paying him any attention)

7: What does your relationship with your pet mean to you?
It means the world to me. Ozzy gets told secrets a lot of people don't. He grounds me when I'm upset. It's sometimes just nice to have a furry friend when you're feeling down. So much love comes from an animal that you wouldn't expect.

8: What are some of your favourite past times with your pet?
Just spending time with him in general. I love when he gets to make new friends because seeing him happy and playful in his old age is the best thing ever.

9: What nicknames do you call your pet?
Ozzy, Oz boy, Oz boz, Oz. Anything that rhymes with his name, we will call him.

Those are all the questions for this tag! Will you be doing this tag? Do you have any pets? If so what type. Please leave you comments down below!

As always, have a wonderful day!

SheIn: Is It Plus Size Friendly?

Hey guys so today we're going to be doing something a little bit different, if you don't know me, hi, I'm Lyndsay, I'm 26 and I am very much plus sized (a size UK 26 to be precise). Due to me being plus sized I sometimes struggle to find plus size clothing at an affordable price and whilst SheIn has been around for a long time, they haven't always catered to plus sized people. SheIn has been around for a while now (I remember it being sheinside back in my Tumblr days) and has always seemed to be a website where you can get affordable cute clothing. One of my friends mentioned to me that they had started doing plus sized clothing so I thought I would try it out. We're going to go through what I've got, how comfortable they are for someone who is plus sized and see if they are true to size! So let's just jump straight into it.


Okay so I love rude things especially this Pajama set. When I saw it in the photos I instantly thought that the T - shirt was gonna be cropped on me and I was correct! The pajama set however is completely breathable and very comfortable! The shorts are elasticated but they fit me perfectly. The highest size this pajama set goes up to is a 26 which is perfect for me and the smallest size it comes in is an 18. Would definitely recommend getting this if you like it!


Okay so getting full sized t shirts sometimes scares me because they don't always cover my stomach (everywhere just seems to think all plus sized/normal sized people have the same torso length and that's just not true). This T shirt fully covers my stomach however and is really comfortable. I love it so much is adorable and I will definitely be getting a lot of use out of this t shirt.

First things first, I would like to point out this skirt fits me perfectly but is not elasticated! This has a zip at the back which sometimes I struggle with so I had to get James to help me zip it up. The Pinafore part of the skirt is a little too big for me and keeps falling down my arms. I love the design of the skirt even having it down but will definitely be sewing another button hole into it so I can wear it securely.



Plus Frill Trim Crop Cami Top
Okay so this top is super cute but really confused me when I got it. Please note that the front is much bigger than the back as it has quite a low back but it also has no tag on the back to tell you which side is the back. Once I figured it out and put it on I loved it. I think this top is super cute and I was really happy I could find something like this in my size. The only downside is I cannot find this top anywhere on their website anymore. I have searched the name, I have gone through all their plus size clothing again and I think they've just took this t shirt off their website.


Once again, this t shirt looked like it would be very cropped on the photo, and once again it was when it arrived. I don't mind it being cropped it's very cute and makes my bi heart very happy. This t shirt looks super cute with blue high waisted jeans (as you can see) but I also have some high waisted skirts this will go with really well. This top also looks smaller in real life but please note it has a lot of stretch so it fits really well on me.



Okay so once again this was not advertised as a crop top but is slightly shorter than normal tees. However this is something I can completely tuck into my high waisted jeans and feel comfortable in. I love how colourful this is and have been looking for something like this to go into my closet for ages. This is made out of a really comfortable material which is not normal for polo tops and doesn't feel restricting or anything (which I find I do feel with normal polo tops)

So do I think SheIn is plus sized friendly? Totally! If you're not over a UK size 26 (which I believe is a US size 22). It's really nice for me to be able to find cute clothes online that either aren't 1: Really expensive or 2: Really outdated. I will definitely be ordering more from them and I encourage you to do so too!

What's your favourite item out of this haul? Have you ordered from SheIn before? Do you have any recommendations for other "Plus sized friendly" stores? Please let me know down in the comments below!

As always have a wonderful day!

Love, Lyndsay

Short AF Series Review | The Act

Hey guys, so today I'm going to be doing a review on the TV series "The Act". As usual this review is going to be short and sweet (like the title suggests) and spoiler free (however there will be the IMDB synopsis in this and sometimes they contain spoilers however 9/10 times they don't. It's just something to keep in mind if you're planning on watching the series"


"Dee Dee Blanchard is overprotective of her daughter, Gypsy, who is trying to escape the toxic relationship she has with her mother. Gypsy's quest for independence opens up a Pandora's box of secrets, which ultimately leads to murder."

So the main reason that I wanted to watch this is due to it being a tv series based on a true crime. I usually love watching true crime shows however I want to point out to whoever watches this that this show has apparently been very much dramatised for the viewers enjoyment. I did still enjoy this series though. It follows the real life story of Gypsy Rose Blanchard and how her life was living with her mother Dee Dee. If you're not into true crime you may not enjoy this series but having not known anything about this case before watching I really enjoyed it. The way it makes you feel is very conflicting and may give you a lot of empathy towards Gypsy's story. I binge watched this within 2 days and due to it being such a short series it is worth binging! 

Unlike most of my reviews I will not be including my favourite and least favourite people in this series due to the fact that this is based on real life events which have happened somewhat recently.

If you enjoy true crime I definitely would recommend this to you. If you don't, I wouldn't necessarily recommend it as it contains some scenes which could be distressing to viewers. 

What did you think of this series? Do you have any movies, series or books you'd recommend for me to watch/read or want me to do a short AF review on? Please let me know down in the comments before!

Have a wonderful day.

Love, Lyndsay
