Review and Recommendation: Breakfast at Tiffany's

Recently I rented out (thanks to my sister for the idea) Breakfast at Tiffany's! It was such a cute and quirky movie. Personally I really enjoyed it. I love 'older' movies. This movie was made in 1961, so I geuss you could say its vintage. There were no cell phones or internet, shock horror! This element made it interesting; to see what life was like in the 60's.




Beautiful actress Audrey Hepburn play's the lead 'Holly' and she contributes so much charm and fun to the film. I fully reccommend it to anyone who likes older films with quirky characters and sweet love stories of course! 

Audrey playing 'Holly'. She is a stunner!

Love Dani! x

p.s RIP Audrey, you were beautiful and I respect you alot.

Spontaneously Motivational

Wow, what a title! I just had a sudden idea (probably out of school holiday boredom) to write a 'motivation' post. I have decided to keep it strictly spontaneous because I do not want to constrict myself to regular motivational days, unless anyone is out there that will actually enjoy or benefit from this, besides me. 

So I've spent the last 20 minutes or so searching my laptop for a special motivational quote that I've acquired. Hopefully it will inspire and relate to you. With that said here is my favourite one right now (I am always keen for more!) and why it is my favourite of course!


  "Anyone can hide. Facing up 
        to things, working through them, that's 
what makes you strong."


This quote is so clear and relevant. There have been and will be many times when things get too tough and you don't know where to turn. Personally in the last two years I have had to face pretty terrifying things that I most certainly wanted to run away from. Imagine if we could run away or run back in time to when we had the innocence of a child, what I wouldn't do for that. 

In all seriousness its a part of life, cliche and all. The best approach to scary situations is to face them head on; it will make you such a stronger person. Don't get caught up in the cycle of running away from your problems (not literally of course, unless running helps relieve stress, like me, then go for it), because I promise the sun will shine on you and you will be happy again!

We aren't all perfect. By working through things you will achieve a lot. This is my challenge and hopefully we will all prevail in our own lives! Feel free to comment what you think about my motivational quote. I'd love to read your thoughts about it!

Love Dani! x

Wreck This Journal!

Today I thought I'd share a few of my favourite pages of my own 'Wreck this journal' by Keri Smith, given to me by my best friend, "thanks gurl". For those of you who don't know what a WTJ is it is like a diary but with a twist. Its drawn, the point is to destroy it and be creative in doing soEach page has an instruction which the owner has to complete. It is super enjoyable and a must for anyone creative!

The front of my journal!


STRENGTH


This page is quite personal and one of the very first pages I completed. Having strength in your mind and life is very important and I thought it was a good message amongst the odd pages of my WTJ.







Just a colourful, bright page!







You probably can't tell 
from the picture but this page is actually quite
textured and 'ripped'. Its colourful and aztec. I think its quite cool!










Stain log, I made it a make-up log.





I thought I'd break out of the box and create a make-up stain log. There are a few gaps which I will 'stain' with various nail polish colours.




A colourful intro page!
The very first page in the book. I tried to fill it with random things to add curiousity! 


Handprints and fingerprints!


Deffinitely one of my favourites. I really like the bees which are fingerprints and the 'flower' which is a handprint. I think I fulfilled the page's purpose very well and I had fun creating it!

As you can see, my WTJ has a major theme of being COLOURFUL

Do any of you have a Wreck This Journal? I'd love to hear from you. Also if you wanna see more of mine just leave a comment!


 Love Dani Darling. x

P.S sorry for the awful quality of photos. I took them at night time, silly me. If I manage to get better pictures, which I may try to, so I can make this post sharp, I'll just update it! Thanks for reading.

Youtubers!

Over the past year I have become extremely obsessed with youtubers, especially the British ones. 
There are some amazing people out there. I applaud them for their courage, not many people can sit infront of a camera so casually and invite the world in. I wish I could do it, but I just don't have the 'talent'. 
I want to thank these people for their entertainment. So here it is, a blog post dedicated to them! Heres to my favourite youtubers! 

My IDK I JUST LOVE BRITISH YOUTUBERS shirt, previewed in a earlier post. 


It all started with one youtuber in particular... Jacksgap! Jack and his brother Finn (the Harries twins) are my definition of perfect. They are just two British lads who like a good laugh and make awesome videos! I love watching their videos because they are always so creative! At first I kept watching their videos over and over, and I have a feeling alot of you will too. So if you have never watched any of their videos, go do it now!  http://www.youtube.com/user/JacksGap

Finn and Jack!

Probably my absolute favourite youtuber is Zoe Sugg, or also known as Zoella! I have personally learnt so much from her videos, make-up and clothes wise. 

The first video of Zoella's that I watched, I don't know why but it caught my eye; it was a video about panic attacks, how to deal with them and how she suffers aswell. It is really knowlegeble and I learnt alot from it.  Check it out here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-iNOFD27G4

Zoe always has a smile on her face and is so genuinely lovely. I really do admire her, and her friendship with sprinkleofglitter, Louise, is the cutest thing! She deffinetly is my favourite youtuber (which was really hard to pick, so only just), because I can relate to her. Being relatable is really key in running a youtube channel (or even a blog). I am very into clothes, products, make-up and so is she, which is nice. Did I mention that she has an incredible fashion sense? She is the example of the best friend or sister that I've always wanted. Heres a link to her channel if any of you are interested;

Zoe!

For my third youtuber (I was trying to keep this post to three), I couldn't decide wether to write about Marcus Butler or Alfie Deyes.  Since they are equally awesome, I feel I have write about both!

Marcus (from marcusbutlertv) is such a sweetheart. I adore his videos. He can make a complete egg of himself all for his subscribers. He's definitely my top 'funny' youtuber. I've probably laughed during his videos more than I have for any other youtuber. If any of you are interested, heres a link: http://www.youtube.com/user/MarcusButlerTV

Marcus Butt butt!

Last but not least, Alfie Deyes from pointlessblog! Alfie is actually adorable, his name is also really cute! Its hard to describe the type of videos he creates, all I can say is that they are awesome and very entertaining! Heres a link to his channel; http://www.youtube.com/user/PointlessBlog

Alfie!


I would have liked to write more about Alfie, but its nearlly 12am and I am a wee bit tired! So anyone reading this who doesn't know of Alfie go watch his videos!!

So those were my top 3 (well 4) youtubers, who all happen to be British with perfect accents. I also watch many more youtubers, including Sprinkle of Glitter (Louise, special shout out to her cute baby Darcy!), Tanya Burr, Sam Pepper, Caspar Lee, occasionally Jim Chapman, Tyler Oakley and Thatcher Joe (Joe Sugg), plus a few more that I am struggling to think of. If you want me to write about or watch any other youtubers, please leave me a comment.

Perfection!

  I shall leave you with a very difficult question..   who is your favourite youtuber?

The Fault In Our Stars

I read 'The Fault In Our Stars' by John Green a few weeks ago and have been waiting patiently to write a post about it. My first 'Review' type post...

To be fair I am not much of a reader but I have to say it is best book I've ever read. It's beautifully tragic but I loved it. I cried so much while reading it! Even though it had alot of sad bits, due to it being based around Hazel Grace, a cancer patient, it is so worth reading. Main charecters Augustus and Hazel were just perfect for eachother and the ending just broke my heart. It is an epic love story. I really recommend it!

Along with all the sad bits and the cute stuff between Gus and Hazel, the book really questions alot of things that most people are too scared to ask. I'll let you read it to figure out what!! It made me think alot which is what I like in a book. If the themes and ideas are to obvious its just not fun to read. It was interesting and I learnt alot from it. I'll probably read it again soon! Maybe I'll even enjoy it more next time.

I'd attatch a photo with this post (because photos always make posts look better), but I lent it to someone and they haven't given it back yet. But thats ok!

Now I have made it my mission to read more of John Green's books! Anyone know which one I should read next?

Just a little update!

Just a quick hello! So hello to my four readers! (Yes, four of you, ahh, thank you!)

Sorry I haven't posted anything in a few weeks. Yes; I shall make an excuse, "I've been really busy". Okay I have not.. I live a pretty chilled life and I am not a very social person. So just before I start rambling on, the things shared (like me being not a social person), and personal things I shall share over the course of having this blog, I share it in confidence. Thus being said, hopefully I will gain the respect of you all by sharing certain pieces of my life.

If anyones out there reading my blog, there are lots of awesome (hopefully they will be) posts coming up this month! Already I have drafted some and I am patiently waiting for a few things to come together... It is really exciting to share what I have to offer you all. The next few posts, I feel, will hopefully be what gives my blog its foundations. If you get what I mean? I have carefully planned a few of them including a post on an amazing book, youtubers that I like and hopefully an outfit of the week post. (And of course more)! This month is really about getting my blog up and running! What a cliche way of putting it.. woops.

Anyways, I hope all of you have a lovely day and an amazing July, thanks for reading.

Love Dani Darling. x
