Dear Helen - The end

So it has arrived. The last Dear Helen blog post. You know what this means. Yeah we have to actually start doing uni work. However there is a plus side as i will finally get to see all the lovely people i havent seen in 5 months. (wow that has gone quick)

The summer has been amazing espcially the holdiay,and the lush shopping was a much needed therapy.  However i am thinking that the trip to see me will have to move to the christmas break or easter break.

As this is the end (for now) i also think there will a lot more to blog about. I think that the ammount of Disney posts will almost double and you never know we might decide to each set up another blog and venture into something totally different. I cant wait till christmas party season arrives as we can cover the house in snow .. i like snow!

So as i have come to the end i just want to say thank you to everyone who has read these and i have had so much fun typing theses and finding the videos as i got to share some awesome videos and pictures. Peace and quite? i think i will be coming back to the uni house for a rest :P. Until Monday, have a good weekend and stay awesome :)

And now the videos .......

IM5 (Band)

Helloo everybody, hope you are all feeling good today. My post today is a music one, more specifically its on a new band that i have just started listening to. This band is as you can see from the title .. IM5.

IM5 have some amazing songs and to go with the amazing songs have some killer dance moves. As you can guess there are 5 members ..

Dana Vaughns
Cole Pendery
Gabe Morales
Will Jay
David Scarzone

I first came across this boy band when i found a video on YouTube called Disney Dudez. In this video each of the members took a role as a Disney Dude. In this series of 3 videos each member was a different Disney dude. Dana was Beast from beauty and the beast, Cole was Prince Eric from the Little Mermaid, Gabe was Aladdin from Aladdin, Will was  Shang . From the time between the first Disney Dudez and the second there was a change in one of the members Dalton who was Prince Charming left and in came David as Prince Philip from sleeping beauty. In Disney Dudez 2 he did do a good cover of let it go dressed as Elsa from frozen. If you like Disney i recommend this series of videos as they are funny and they contain the Disney songs that we all know and love.

IM5's music was  on the Disney channel original movie Let it shine. Their first digitally released single 'Everything about you' caught the eye of Radio Disney, and was play continuously for the rest of the year. This led to IM5 being the headliner at many Radio Disney events.

Recently they released 2 more singles 'get to know you' and 'heartless'. Personally if you like RnB and pop i would recommend giving these tracks a listen cus not only have you got amazing songs, the boys also perform some killer dance moves and they all look good doing it.

This brings me to the end of this post, i hope you enjoyed this post, its a bit of a short one but i wanted to do this post for a while. Thank you for reading it and until next time .. goodbye and have a fantastic day/evening.

Dear Helen - Only a week left

As you can see from the title i have also noted that we hardly have any of our summer off. We can fill the gaps with more Amazing posts about Disney and stuff, plus we have always got SHOPPING!!

i know i cant believe i didn't realise why it was called the elephant love meledy either i think i need to learn to pay attention to what is going on instead of singing along to the songs ;)

I'm glad you liked my Disney post. I do like Tarzan but i had soo many to choose from and it was one of the movies i didn't have as a child so i didn't watch it much, im sure i will love it by the end of this year tho :).

I have become addicted to Disney songs and my Disney playlist on spotify so we can annoy Tom with that :). Also i have become slightly obsessed with a new band who just happen to be really really really good looking ... IM5 . (Gabe and Cole are epically nice looking)

I have also learnt how to make new and wonderful things so you, Tom, David, Emily and whoever else is in the house at the time will be trying my delicious new bakes. I feel like im on the great British bake off lol.

well i think i should bring it to an end here or else we will have nothing to talk about :) mind you when has that ever been an issue with us :). Oh and Bad Education was really good so glad its back CLASS WARS!!!

Disney - My top 10

Hello everybody. This blog post as you can see by the title is about Disney films. I have loved Disney ever since i was tiny and it has a very special place in my heart. When i was a kid i watched loads with my brother and had loads on video (VHS - that makes me feel old). When i say Disney im going to narrow it down to animated films as they so good and i love animation. So let get going ....

10) Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs - First Disney animation so has to be in this list
  9) Lady and the Tramp - I like this film as its romantic and they have the cool spaghetti scene :)
  8) Beauty and the Beast - Amazing songs and it has a talking teapot how cool :)
  7) The Arisocats - Smooth jazz songs and its about cats :)
  6) The Jungle Book - Singing bear and and awesome panther :)
  5) Fox and the Hound - Cute dog, cute fox
  4) Aladdin - Robin Williams as the genie :)
  3) Pocahontas - Based on a real person and amazing songs
  2) Lion king - Really catchy songs, it has lions in it and Zazu has to be the best animated bird

And finally my favourite animated Disney film is ...

1) The little mermaid - This one is very close to my heart and i can nearly recite the whole movie and can sing all the songs word for word. It will remain my favourite Disney film and who doesn't love Flounder :) Plus it has Sebastian (crab) and who doesn't love prince Eric

That brings me to the end of my post. I have forced on films before 2000 as i was focusing on my childhood years. Hope you all enjoyed it and feel free to leave a comment i'd love to hear your lists. Also i need to thank my friend Helen for giving me the inspiration for this from her Disney film post. Goodbye!!

Dear Helen - A week late

Szervusz!

First of all i am sorry that i am soooo late uploading this. Your snapchats have been amazing this week, but i think we need to talk about the herbal tea thing (joke!). Pierre was soo cute. 

I am also enjoying the new doctor, i think its going back to the same humour as series 1 (2005). I thought the best episode so far was Robot of Sherwood but i have to admit the dinosaur was pretty cool. Shame it died but least it can say here i stand and here ill stay (get it :P ) 

we really need to have a Disney day, i have also been listening to Disney songs. The two songs ive been listening to most often recently is One jump and Poor unfortunate souls. I went one better and also watched the films which were AMAZING!!!! ( Tarzan is an amazing film also) 

I watched Moulin Rouge with my friend Amy on Thursday and as per usual it was amazing. I also finally worked out why they call it the elephant love medley. (i feel slightly dumb at this revelation lol). 

I hope you enjoyed my pics of the doggies i was dog sitting this weekend. I think i made a new friend in the puppy as she followed me everywhere. I also saw some really pretty fireworks this weekend :). 

One last thing before i go, i cant wait to go on holiday again next year and it will be even more awesome as 1 or maybe 2 awesome friends of mine are joining us :) 

So im going to leave it there, i hope you enjoyed this post and again sorry its soo late i will get back on track promise :). I will now leave you with some videos that have a link within the post. So until next time ..... Viszontlátásra!

Looking for JJ (Book)

Hello everyone, this post is taking another direction than normal. This year sees one of my favourite books celebrating its 10th anniversary. This book is called Looking for JJ by Anne Cassidy. So for these two reasons i thought i would do a book review for you lovely people reading this.

Just a little warning before we begin, there may be some spoilers ahead but i shall try and keep them to a minimum.

So the reader joins 17 year old Alice, who is working in a coffee shop and lives with her foster mother Rosie until she goes to university. She also has a loving boyfriend, so from the viewers point of view she has a relativity normal life. However when a story on Jennifer Jones appears in the newspaper things start to take a turn.

After this the reader then learns who Jennifer Jones is and Anne Cassidy perfectly portrays how someone deals with having a huge secret and try and function in a normal society.

Jennifer Jones was only 10 when it happened. She had moved to a new area, a new school and of course had to make new friends. Her mother did a job that Jennifer didn't understand but she knew that people came to the house and then they would leave again. As time goes on Jennifer makes friends with Michelle and she becomes the domineering friend in the group. As Jennifer is a neglected little girl she is prone to bouts of violence when somebody annoys her.

On the day that it happened Jennifer's mother is having a photo shoot done in the house, however when her agent says that her looks are not convincing enough she has the idea to sell her daughter. Luckily Jennifer had gone out to play with her friends.

Cassidy then does a fantastic job of unrevealing the story of what happened to Jennifer and how Alice was coping knowing that journalists were trying to expose her for what her past holds. Cassidy also does very well interweaving some very adult topics which by some writers might fall into the taboo category. This is accompanied by some fantastic imagery and a very good storyline from beginning to the end.

So this brings me to the end of this book review. I hope you enjoyed it. Like i have already said i high recommend this book as it one of those where you get hooked within the first few pages. Also if you did enjoy this review and decide to read the book, or if you love the book as much as me .... There is a sequel. I found this out earlier this week, Anne Cassidy published the sequel earlier this year as its been 10 years since Looking for JJ. The sequel is called Looking for Jennifer Jones and is available on Amazon for £5. Thank you again and until next time ..... Goodbye!
