FUNFAIR! :)

Hey guys, right so I can't remember the last time I went to a funfair, so when my friend mentioned there was one in town I jumped at the idea to go! The funfair is called EuroShow, I’m not sure if it just travels around Ireland, but the rides in it are similar to most funfair rides. I went with my friend Danni and her sister Victoria, that’s her and I in the picture above! :) That ride was called the Ultimate Buzz, we saved it until last because it was the scariest ride. From the pictures you can kinda judge what the ride is like, you basically spin around in a circle and go completely upside down, must say the view was pretty amazing from up there, but the dangling upside down from such a height… not so much haha but was still an incredible ride, if any of you have been on a ride similar to that before let me know what you thought of it! :)

              The first ride we went on was the Wild Mouse (above) which is a fun rollercoaster to start us off, no loops or twists or anything but it was still a good ride, we then proceeded to try out the other rides such as the Waltzers, and other fun rides.

             Another great ride we went on was called Freakout (above). That was my favorite ride, you sway from side to side at a fast pace, it’s really exhilarating, but not a ride you should go on if you’ve just had something to eat.

             My least favorite ride was called G force. I thought I’d like it, basically you step inside this circular room, the walls of which rotate,  and as it speeds up the floor basically falls from under you, and gravity is what keeps you stuck to the wall, only problem was, the pressure was really sore, I think they had it set too fast or something, but yea I definitely didn’t like that ride.

              Overall my trip to the funfair was AMAZING!! Even though it was cold, the sun was shining and oh how could I forget the best part of a funfair (minus the rides)… The CANDYFLOSS!! It was so good!

Have any of you some interesting stories of your trip to the funfair? And what are your guys favorite rides, are you more of a Ferris wheel fan or are you an adrenaline junkie like myself and go for the big rides? xx

disney movie remakes number 1- Sydney White

So i've noticed recently that a lot of old disney classics and fairly tales are being remade, the most recent disney movie being "Beastly" and the fairytale being "Red Riding hood"
Beastly is based on the academy award winning movie "Beauty and the Beast" It stars Vanessa hudgens and Alex Petyffer who i recently did a review on for his role in the movie "i am number 4"I haven't seen this movie yet, so i can't give an accurate or non bias review on it, but an observation i made from reading about it is that i'm not sure vanessa Hudgens was the best fit for the role, but i know i'll have to wait and see before i write her off.
Beauty and the Beast was one of my favorite movies growing up, and i really hope Beastly will do it justice.
So the first movie i am going to review is "Sydney White" which as i'm sure u've guessed it, is a modern day adaptation of Snow White. I know it was released in 2007, but i only recently saw it and i must say i was impressed, i liked how they turned this disney classic into a modern day version thats very relatable and funny. The movie stars Amanda Bynes as "Sydney White" and although she plays pretty much the same role in all of her movies, i still find her enjoyable to watch, she managed to carve a respectable career starring in movies that, with any other female lead would feel just as stale as the hundreds of others before it, but Bynes' charm and humor manages to give these movies a new lease of life, just like in "She's the Man" which is a modern adaptation of shakespeare's "Twelfth Night" where she surprised critics everywhere by doing a really good job, better than anyone could have predicted. Sydneys character is a tomboy, who was raised by her dad and his fellow construction workers after her mom died when she was 9. She lived a very sheltered life and spent most of her days helping her dad out on the construction site, that is until she gets accepted to SAU, the college her mother wen't to and not only did she go to this college but she was part of the college's most elite sorority Kappa Phi  Nu, so in an attempt to feel connected to her mother she decides she's going to do whatever it takes to become a Kappa. Her dorm roommate when she gets to college is none other than Dinky (Crystal Hunt) who's also a Kappa legacy because her mom too was a Kappa.
Things aren't happily ever after for Sydney though because of the big bad witch on campus Rachel Witchburn (Sarah Paxton) who is out to get her, because first of all she doesn't think Sydney fits the Kappa stereotype and more importantly because her prince charming ex Tyler (Matt Long) showed an interest in her and Rachel would not stand for that so spends the movie plotting to destroy her, the first thing she did was had sydney kicked out of the sorority leaving her nowhere to go except the Vortex, which is an old run down house for people who didn't quite fit in, in any of the other fraternities and sororities. This is where she befriends the 7 dorks, each of them represented the different dwarfs very well, you could tell straight away who was who, we are first introduced to Lenny (Jack Carpenter) who represents sneezy, Sydney bumps into him during a pledging challenge.
She moves into the Vortex and decides that enough is enough, these great guys are being forced to live in a house thats falling apart just because they don't fit the required stereotype to live elsewhere, so she persuades the dorks to run for president, Terrance (Jeremy Howard) being the oldest and smartest steps up to the challenge and all is going well until tragedy strikes and sydney white has to save the day.
I thought there were some very good references in the movie like the hot list website on Rachels laptop was a modern version of the magic mirror, the poison apple was infact an apple laptop and it gets poisoned by a virus, the movie was cleverly written and it was funny and enjoyable to watch. This movie also has a positive message, being that you don't have to be blonde and cookie cutter perfect to be beautiful, and that the Rachel Whichburns of the world don't have a right to make you feel down about yourself.

Overall its' a good teen movie that you can watch again and again.
i give it an 8.5 out of 10 xx

random rant!

i don't know if any of you are from Ireland, but oh my god the weather is terrible here, woke up this morning and the sun was shining, there wasn't a cloud in the sky, and by the time i finished college it was raining and it hasn't stopped since... jeesh i hate the rain... and we're supposed to be getting snow AGAIN? thats crazy.. it's March!! i'm ridiculously clumsy so adding a few inches of snow and ice to the mix is a disaster waiting to happen!! Soon i'll have to ski to college and they'll be putting in button lifts where the paths are so people can get up the steep hills.... just give it a few years... its totally plausible! haha anyway i hope the weather isn't as bad where you guys are from and hope everyone had a good day :) xx

Adele - Someone like you

wow..... i am obsessed with the song "someone like you" by the talented British artist Adele... i've had her song playing on repeat for the past few days, i love when i find a song that is just so addictive, i cant stop listening to it! :) her voice is so beautiful. i liked her other song "rolling in the deep", but then i stumbled across this song of hers and its incredible, i fell in love with it. I know its been out for a while and i should have heard it before now, but i somehow didn't? The song has so much depth and meaning to it, and her whole album "21" is like that aswell. Its my new favorite song, Adele is the first living artist to achieve the feat of two top hits in both the Official Singles Chart and the Official Album Chart simultaneously since the Beatles in 1964.... she is definitely an artist to watch out for. If you haven't heard of her i strongly recommend you check out some of her music, hopefully you'll love it as much as i do. So What are you're thoughts on her? :) xx

Estée Lauder Double Wear Foundation Review

Estée lauder Double Wear Foundation – I’ve been having trouble finding a foundation that suits my skin type, my skin is dry, but is also prone to the occasional breakout, so I needed a foundation that had enough moisture in it to stay on my skin without drying it out but also needed it to not be too moisturising which would only accentuate my blemishes. I’d been using laura merciers foundation in beige ivory and that was good, but I noticed it wasn’t staying on my face throughout the day, it started to rub off my nose and forehead, even though I’d been using laura merciers primer and rimmels stay matte powder it just wasn’t staying on, that’s when a friend recommended the estée lauder double wear foundation, it stays on ALL day, so I didn’t have to waste makeup or time having to reapply it numerous times throughout the day. It isn’t too thick, so that it looks like you’re caked in makeup, instead it covers your blemishes but still manages to make you look fresh faced, which ultimately is what most girls want, makeup is supposed to accentuate your natural beauty rather then cover it up completely. The shade i'm using is ecru.  So if you’re looking for a good quality foundation that will last on your face, I recommend the estée lauder double wear foundation.  It retails at €30 euros, £25 pounds and $34 dollars.  I Recommend you put it on with a foundation brush if you want more coverage, or just use your fingers if you want a more subtle look. It also has spf 10 which will protect your skin which is very important. Overall I give it a 9 out of 10, I’ve been using it for the past few months and haven’t had any problems with it. Have any of you guys tried this foundation or know one that’s better? xx

I am Number 4 movie review

Hey guys, right so i'm sure you've all heard about the new alien movie whereby these special extraterrestrials from the planet Lorien are the only remainder of their kind and are being hunted by............ no? right thought as much, so  let me rephrase my sentence... you've all heard about the new movie that hottie mc hotster  Alex Pettyfer is in yea?? haha.... better?

Okay so i remember when stormbreakers came out, and i saw this cute blonde dude in it...and i thought to myself.. he's going to be hot when he's older... and BAM... few years later he was in Wild Child and i think thats when he stole the hearts of teens and adults everywhere, and theres no sign of him slowing down any time soon. He stars in the movie I am number 4 along side glee's Dianna Agron who he recently just spilt from, they were sharing a house and everything?... little crazy seein as they knew each other a whole of what... a week?? ... right maybe a few weeks.. but still.. its nuts, although if i was Dianna i'd have been more than happy to shack up with him... even it had just been a day... hmm.... right back to the review, so basically the movie is exactly what it says in the tin, he's one of 9 extraterrestrials that are living on earth and are being hunted down by the Mogadorians, which are basically a group of weird freaky looking guys who's goal in life is to destroy these 9 extraterrestrials one by one. and at the start of the movie you see number 3 being killed, so then John Smith (alex) who shockingly enough is number 4 and his guardian henri are constantly on the run, barely staying one step ahead of the Mogaadorians.
They flee to Ohio to a small town called Paradise, where John falls for the sweet Sarah (Dianna) who's a budding photographer and befriends the schools nerd Sam (Callan McAuliffe) which does nothing to help him stay inconspicuous, it instead has the opposite effect and attracts the attention of the schools alpha males, and the leader of the pack Mark James (Jake Abel) who just so happens to be Sarahs ex so he gets all kinds of jealous when Sarah and John start hanging out.
The movie didn't have much substance, Sarahs character lacks charisma and depth, and Alex Pettyfer emotes precious little emotion throughout the movie, though he was indeed easy on the eyes, i don't believe he did the character justice, although he didn't do a terrible job.
In the end the Mogadorians catch up with Number 4, and thats when the movie goes from a normal teen movie to a sci-fi movie... or an attempt at a sci-fi movie, it was more like a cheap video game.
Number 6 makes herself known towards the end of the movie, and i think she was a good character and should have been incorporated into the movie more, she's a fiesty bad ass who helps John in the battle against the Mogadorians, then these, what i can only describe as weird beasts came on screen, it was like watching jurassic park or something, i feel like the director tried to incorporate too many different aspects into the movie instead of focusing on the actual story line and the characters.

The movie itself was confusing, there were a lot of gaps in logic throughout the movie and there were also a lot of eye rolling moments, but overall John Smith (Alex Pettyfer) made the movie watchable, and the nerd Sam was entertaining to watch, he was a good fit for the role.
If you're looking for a good sci-fi action movie then i don't recommend this, although if you want to see a bit of a brainless movie with an unbelievably hot male character, then this is the movie for you, theres also a scene where he's shirtless... so watch out for that. :P

I give the movie a 6 out of 10 and had Alex Pettyfer not been in this movie, it would have gotton a 3.
