Finding the Perfect Prom Dress!

Hello Everyone, 

It's coming to that time of year where some of you may be looking forward to finishing school and be looking forward to prom. Finding the perfect prom dress can be stressful but it doesn't have to be. Here are some tips for finding the perfect prom dress whilst enjoying a stress-free day.

Give Yourself Plenty of Time - Try not to leave prom dress shopping until the last minute because that is when it is more stressful because you know that you have to find everything that day so it puts more pressure on you. Therefore make sure you find a day quite early on so you have time to go shopping somewhere else as well if you need to.

Take a Family Member or Friend - When I went prom dress shopping I went with my mum which I'm so glad about because she was so helpful and it made the day more special to have her there with me. It's up to you who you take whether it's a family member of a close friend. I think it's nicer to share the experience with someone else and it's also really good to have a second opinion.

Keep An Open Mind - Keep an open mind because you might not find what you consider to be the perfect dress straight away. Just because you have pictured a certain dress it doesn't mean that no other dress with be as good.

Try On As Many Dresses As Possible - When I was prom dress I found that sometimes the dresses that look great on the hanger don't look as good on and the one's that you think won't suit you actually do. Therefore I would say try as many dresses on as possible.

Look In A Variety of Shops - Getting recommendations of where friends and family got their prom dresses is always good because you get an idea of where to look but make sure you go into plenty of other shops because the perfect prom dress might be in a shop that you have never heard of before.

Go Somewhere Familiar - When you go Prom Dress Shopping I would suggest that you go somewhere that you have been before and that you know your way around because you don't want to be wasting time searching for different shops

Look Online First - Look online at shops that you might have a look in to get some ideas of what you want to try on before you get there. This will help to save time.

They are all of the tips that I would recommend to you for when you are prom dress shopping. I hope you find them helpful and manage to find the perfect prom dress. Thanks for reading. :)

Back to Rosewood - Where Somebody Waits For Me!

*Contains Spoilers*

Hello Everyone,

I'm back with my second post today with another post for the Back to Rosewood series that I am doing. This one is on the Pretty Little Liars episode 'When Somebody Waits For Me'. I have decided to post twice today to get back on track with this series.

The first thing I want to talk about is the fact that Spencer found out that her mum is ill and Mona played a bit part in helping her to discover this. I really like Mona, she's my favourite character and I do think she's a genuinely nice person. Is she actually trying to help Spencer's mum win? I think she is.

I think we all knew that Aria writing Ezra's book for him without him knowing was going to end badly. Her boyfriend Liam had worked it out and confronted her about it but now Ezra's back and he's written his own version of the book it's about to get a lot worse.

In this episode Alison admitted that she and Dr. Rollins were a couple. To be honest I thought that was pretty obvious but when she announced it to Spencer it was like it was some big surprise. I don't trust him either. He's definitely on my suspect list.

I know I have said this before but there is definitely still something between Hanna & Caleb and I really want them to get back together. When they're together it's like nothing's ever changed.

More threats came in from the new A. I particularly feel sorry for Emily because A's threats towards her  are quite serious. She's already going through a hard time and now A is threatening to use her eggs.

Finally, they are know leaning towards Melissa being the person who killed Charlotte because Spencer discovered that part of her suitcase was missing that matches the discription of the weapon that was used to kill Charlotte. Do you think it was her?

So that's all for this post. If you have any thought on this episode that you would like to share feel free to leave them in the comments section. I hope you enjoyed this post.

Back to Rosewood - Do Not Disturb!

*Contains Spoilers*

Hello Everyone,

I'm back today with my thoughts on the Pretty Little Liars episode, Do not disturb. I really enjoyed this episode again and there are a few key points I want to talk about it this post.

So Arias parents are getting remarried. I'm really happy for them and I'm glad that that has cleared up any suspicions we had about Aria's dad. I think it's nice that they have got back together but I do think that it was unexpected at the same time.

Alison is back on the scene. I go through stages with her because sometimes I feel really sorry for her and like her and other times I feel like she's starting to go back to her old self. For example when she was saying grace and insinuating that the girls were involved in Charlotte 's death. In this episode I did like her though because she was really supportive of Emily when she was having her operation. I think Emily needs support as the moment because she seems to be going through quite a hard time. It's so sad that the couple who were going to use Emily's eggs changed their mind because now Emily feels like it's a waste.

I have really being loving the girls new style. Some of their outfits are a bit strange but some of them I absolutely love. I particularly like Emily's style because I think it's more of a casual look but still looks really nice. I love all of the their hair styles as well. 

There was a new Sparia moment in this episode. I love it when these two work together because they make such a good team. Spencer found the map which told us that the reason Sara Harvey is staying at the Radley is because she's staying in what would have been Charlotte's room when it was Radley Sanitarium. But what Aria found was even more shocking. I can't believe that there is a whole part of the Radley that nobody knew about. It's obvious that Sara Harvey has something to do with the new A.

They are my thoughts on this episode of PLL. I really enjoyed it again. What did you think of this episode. I hope you enjoyed this post.

February Update!

Hello Everyone,

The purpose of this post is to update you all as I feel like I need to explain a few things regarding my blog.

Firstly, I would like to apologise for the lack of blog posts recently. I've been on holiday recently which meant that I had a bit of a break from blogging but don't worry I'm back to blogging now and I'll try to get back to the usual schedule of Monday, Wednesday and sometime of the weekend as soon as possible.

So, as I've been away recently you can expect some holiday posts and maybe a few more photography posts in the future. They are some of my favourite blog posts to write and to look back on as memories. I hope you like them too.

I am a bit behind on the Pretty Little Liars 'Back to Rosewood' posts that I have been doing. The reason for this is because I haven't had a chance to watch them yet. I will still be posting these posts as I enjoy doing them and I don't think it matters that they're a bit late. I'll try and post them closer together so I can get back on track as soon as possible.

That's all I need to update you on at the moment. I really enjoy blogging so you can expect some good blog posts coming up soon. If you have any requests of blog posts you would like me do for you to read feel free to leave them in the comments and I'll be happy to do them as soon as I can.

Thanks for reading. I'll be back with another blog post very soon.

Back to Rosewood: New Guys, New Lies!

Hello Everyone,

Today's post is another one in the 'Back to Rosewood' series. I'm going to talk about the most recent episode of Pretty Little Liars, New Guys, New Lies.

The first thing I have to mention is the person in the mask. This is obviously the person who is texting the girls. This almost seems creepier than A because the person doesn't have to hide. They're just disguised. It was really scary when he was looking into Aria's window. This disguise means that the person is able to get a lot closer to the girls than A could.

I was pleased to see Toby in this episode as he hasn't been in it too much. We also found out who he was building the house for. It seems that Spencer and Toby still have feelings for each other. This is shown by the way Toby keeps confirming that Spencer will be going back to DC after the campaign. It's sort of an Out of Sight, Out of Mind situation. I'd like it if Spoby were to reunite.

Linking to my last point. It's clear that Hanna and Caleb still have feelings for each other too. I just want it all to go back to normal and how things used to be.

It also looked as though love could have been air for Emily and the girl who runs The Brew. Unfortunately, that seems to have been ruined because she caught Emily returning the key to Ezra's flat and now she doesn't trust her. I hope they make friends again soon.

The situation with Hanna deleting the tape has been resolved now that her mum has stolen the back up tape. However, like everything this is going to come back to haunt her as she is bound to have been seen taking it. This isn't going to be the end of that situation.

The finger seems to be pointing towards Aria's dad now & maybe even that he's done something with Ezra. He's obviously done something that could get him into trouble but I doubt he was the one who killed Charlotte. It's too obvious but it'll be interesting to find out what he has done.

The final thing I want to mention isn't directly linked to the most recent episode of PLL but it's just a thought I had and wanted to bring up. Maybe the new A and the person who killed Charlotte is Mr Dilourentis. He's never liked Charlotte. He was the reason that she ended up becoming A. He would want to get back at her for torturing the Alison. It's just a thought I had, we'll see!

I hope you enjoyed this post. Who is your favourite PLL character? Let me know in the comments.

Valentines Day Gift Guide!

Hello Everyone,

Been as it is nearly Valentines Day I thought that I would do a Gift Guide for any of you who are struggling for ideas of what to get someone. I hope it helps.

*The pictures in this blog post are not my own. They are taken from the specific website of the product I am talking about*

Women!

Flowers 

 

Flowers are always a good option because the majority of girls love flowers. A good website if you want some flowers delivered to their house it Bunches. You could either go for some flowers from the Valentines range or just from their normal range. Click here to go to their Valentines Day range or here to go to their normal range. Bunches has a huge range of beautiful flowers in which they will deliver them to the address you choose on the day you would like as long as you order in advance. The good thing with this website is that they also include a card which you can write and message in and a little bag of chocolates which makes it all the more special. There is then options of little extras you can put in for an additional cost. I have bought flowers from here in the past. They last really well (at least 2 weeks), the service is very good and they are really reasonably priced.

Chocolates
 
Cadburys do a number of gift sets for Valentines Day which range from around £6 to around £70 so there is something for everyone's price range. If your valentine prefers chocolate to flowers then there are plenty of options on the Cadburys website. Click here to go there now.

Body Sets

Maybe your Valentine would prefer something a bit more beauty related. Soap & Glory have some really nice gift sets on their website. Click here to have a look. There are gift sets ranging from £5 to £20 which I think is really reasonable for the amount you get in them.


Make Up
 
If your Valentine likes make up then there is plenty of choice on the Debenhams website which has loads of different make up brands. A lot of it is high end so might not be something that you would want to buy yourself so I'm sure they would be so happy to receive it as a gift.

Jewellery
            
You can't really go wrong with jewellery. I particularly like Pandora's range of Valentines rings. Have a look on the Pandora website for a wide range of jewellery that you might like to buy for your Valentine this year.

Men!

In my opinion, men are a lot harder to get for especially when it comes to valentines day but here is what I have come up with.

A Tie

Next do some really nice ties which are really reasonably priced. This might be something that your Valentine might like.

Alcohol
                                                            
If your Valentine likes a specific type of alcohol such as Whiskey, for example, you could get them a nice bottle of that. There is some nice bottles on the Tesco website so you could have a look on there for some inspiration.

Cufflinks

John Lewis has some nice cufflinks from a number of different brands on their website. This might be a nice present for your Valentine as they might not expect it and it's something that they can enjoy wearing on special occassions.

Aftershave
 
Boots has a variety of different branded aftershaves. This may be a nice present for you Valentine. If you know what scent they like then you can buy them their favourite aftershave. If not you could buy one that you like the smell of.

Other!

Here are other ideas that may help you when thinking of what to buy your valentine. I can't really direct you to a particular website or show you pictures for these ones because it is completely down to preference and what you know your Valentine will like. These presents are suited to both males and females.

• A Book, DVD or CD
• Clothes
• Take them for a meal 
• Pay for something you can do together - cinema, go karting, theatre, concert - something that you both enjoy and would have a good time doing together.
• A trip away - If you've been together for a while then you might thinking about booking them a trip abroad to somewhere they've always wanted to go. Alternatively, you could just go somewhere in your country where you can just have a break and spend time together.

 I hope you have found this gift guide helpful. There are plenty of things out there that your Valentine will like but I hope these help if your struggling to think of something you could buy them.

Back to Rosewood: The Gloves Are On!

Hello Everyone,

I'm back with another pretty little liars post. As always the recent episode was amazing. I really enjoyed it and we have a lot to talk about so let's just get on with it. This was written after the episode but I'm really sorry that I haven't been able to get round to posting it until today.

The first thing I wanted to talk about in this post is Ezra. Do you think he is guilty of something? He has been acting really suspicious and got really angry when the girls accused him of killing Charlotte. However, I personally don't think that he did it. There is definitely something going on with Ezra that we don't know about but I don't think he is responsible for the death of Charlotte. What do you think? I also think that he's going to be so angry when be finds out that Aria is finishing his book.

Spaleb - As I have said before, I am not a big fan of Spaleb. It was obvious that something was going on between them and it was finally confirmed in this episode. I much preferred it when Haleb and Spoby were are thing. What's your opinion? Are you a fan of Spaleb?

As I said in my last post, deleting the security camera footage has come back to haunt them. Lorenzo has discovered that the tape was tempered with and it's bound to get linked back to Hanna as her Mum owns the Radley Hotel.

I am so happy that we finally found out what happened to Sara Harvey that night. It's been talked about so much and was what linked her to being the one who was trying to get the girls in trouble. So, she got electrocuted. To be honest, I don't see how she can blame the girls for that. I know Emily punched her but it wasn't their fault that she grab on to the wires. Also, she was the one trying to help Charlotte blow up Radley so she's hardly innocent.

We also found out what is happening with Emily. It turns out that she is taking hormones so she can donate her eggs. I'm glad that that is the case because at first I thought she was taking drugs. I feel sorry for Emily because it must be so hard for her because she feels as though everyone has become really successful and happy but she seems to be struggling which is understandable under the conditions.

Lucas is back! In the beginning I liked Lucas because I thought he was really nice but then obviously as time progressed he started acting strange. Now that he's back I don't trust him completely. He agreed to provide an alibi for Hanna. However, he might have got himself into trouble by telling Lorenzo that he left the room to get water. Also, he seems to be doing a nice thing by being Hanna's alibi but she's also giving him an alibi. Maybe he had something to do with it and saying he was with Hanna has helped him to cover it up.

The text - It's happening again. All of the girl's got a text from the new 'A'. I think that it will be interesting to see what happens next with this.

They are my thoughts on this episode of PLL. I hope you enjoyed this post. Feel free to leave a comment.
