Classic Christmas Film // Holiday Favourites

Hey everyone,
the time has arrived!

Halloween and Remembrance Day have come and gone, and now it is time to get into some serious Christmas cheer. In the spirit of the season, I thought I would share with you some of my favourite things from the holiday season. Today I wanted to reminisce with you all about my favourite classic Christmas movie: Santa Claus is Comin' to Town.



I'm not sure about other areas of the globe, but if you grew up in North America then I sincerely hope you have seen this movie by now. In this heartwarming tale, a little orphan boy named Kris Kringle, is adopted into a family of elves.



Kris Kringle grows up into a man with a mission: to bring Christmas to Sombertown and end the reign of the evil Burgermeister Meisterburger. To do so, he takes on many challenges, including an encounter with the terrifying Winter Warlock.



Add in a few song and dance numbers, some reindeer, and a charming little narrator, and you have yourself the makings of a classic Christmas movie. For me, nothing says 'Christmas' like cuddling up on the sofa with your favourite blanket, drinking a hot beverage, and watching a movie from your childhood. This movie is not only something I remember from my childhood, but one that my parents and grandparents have watched as well. It really is one of those great traditions!

What is your favourite Christmas classic? Rudolph? Frosty the Snowman? I'd love to know!

Until next time,
Liv xx

PS. Official countdown says 41 days until Christmas!

Who Am I? Who Are You?

Hello folks,
Happy Halloween!



I hope you've all had a fun day filled with cute costumes and yummy candy! Since I work with kids, I was obliged to dress up, and chose to be a baby! Onesie, soother, pigtails and all.



Anyway, with Halloween having come and gone, we are moving into a new season. I have recently realized that over the last month or so I have gained a few followers, as well as just casual readers. Because of this, I thought I would do a teeny "getting to know you" sort of post.

While I was taking a gander over on Charlotte's Web, I found her most recent post included ten questions. So, I thought I would take the challenge and answer them in between trick-or-treaters' knocks at the door.

1. Who are you?

- Well hello! My name is Olivia (Liv for short). I am 21 years old, I am Canadian, and I work with kids at an autism clinic.

2. Why do you blog?

- I blog because I love to share things. I also love to write and take pictures, as well as attempt to be creative. Blogging is the perfect way to combine all of these things, and even get some feedback from it!

3. What's your favourite song?

- My current song on repeat would have to be "Story of My Life" by One Direction. It's just so different from all of their other songs, I absolutely love it.

4. Snog, Marry, Avoid: Ron Weasley, Harry Styles, Jude Law?

- Snog: Harry Styles - because who could say no to that face?

- Marry: Ron Weasley - he does seem like marriage material, doesn't he?

- Avoid: Jude Law - don't get me wrong, I love Jude Law. But he's just a little old for my taste, I think.

5. What are you doing right now?

- At the moment I am watching 'Hocus Pocus', writing this of course, and handing out bags of Sweet Chili Heat Doritos to trick-or-treaters.

6. Tea or coffee?

- Definitely tea. I just can't get used to the taste of coffee at all! But I have a whole shelf filled with canisters of loose leaf tea from DavidsTea, one of my favourite stores.

7. Favourite book?

- I really enjoyed Harry Potter, as well as the Hunger Games trilogy, but my favourite book would probably have to be The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. What a tearjerker!

8. Favourite movie?

- A movie I could watch over and over again would have to be "Life as We Know It" starring Katherine Heigl and Josh Duhamel. Another favourite would probably be The Little Mermaid, or She's the Man.

9. Which blogs do you visit religiously?

- I follow only a few blogs on BlogLovin', but I check for a few quite often: Sprinkle of Glitter, Zoella, Tanya Burr, Cup of Jo, and Fleur de Force. At the moment I'm looking for some new blogs to follow. What ones do you recommend based on the ones mentioned above?

10. What's your URL?

- This one is for you to answer. I want to get to know you people on the other side of the internet! So, if you have read and enjoyed this post even a little bit, go ahead and answer these questions in the comments. Then, feel free to leave your URL for others to find their way over to your little slice of the web.

Looking forward to hearing about you!

Happy Halloween,

Liv :)

What Did I Just Watch?

Hey everyone,
welcome back!

In my last post, I said I would be back shortly with a crafty post. Due to a memory card malfunction, I may have to recreate this crafting idea to be posted at a later date. But rather than leaving you hanging all weekend, I thought I would tell you about something I will never forget: the worst movie I ever did see.



If you're like me, you might have heard about this movie, and gotten super excited about its awesome cast. Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Benson, JAMES FRANCO. The trailer made the film look like a happy-go-lucky vacation gone wrong, but this was not the case at all. From the beginning scene of full frontal nudity, I had not a clue what was going on. The plot was easy enough to follow, but then again was there really a plot?

I can tell you this much: this movie was basically a montage of pink ski masks, guns, money, murder, drugs, bikinis, and James Franco creepily whispering "Spring break forever..." about 75 times. I was just baffled!



Now, I am not usually one to negatively critique movies like this. I am a firm believer that every movie has it's positive sides, and if I don't like it someone else will. However, I had to speak up about this film, because I have no idea who this movie will "speak" to. I also wanted to forewarn anyone who hasn't seen it.




Have you seen Spring Breakers? What did you think? Let me know down there in the comments!
Hopefully the next time you hear from me, I will be back with that crafty post I promised you.

Until next time,
Liv <3
