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
