Top 15 Films | Mostly For Teens

I thought I would do a mini bonus post today to get my blog started. These are just some of my favourite films. I have watched most of these more than once.
They are not in any particular order.

1. The Notebook
The Notebook is a love story that made me laugh and cry. I loved the film so much and it was so sweet and sad at the same time.

2. Pitch Perfect
This film is one of my all time favourites because it has so many funny moments especially with the girl that doesn't really talk and also of course, Fat Amy.

3. Never Say Never
This had to go on my list. It's a documentary type thing about Justin Bieber. It's funny, interesting and I have watched it at least 15-20 times (probably because it's about Justin Bieber).

4. The Mortal Instruments: City Of Bones
The Mortal Instruments is a book series by Cassandra Clare about demon hunting. It's a fantasy love story and I love both the book and film of City Of Bones. Jace (Jamie Campbell Bower), one of the main characters makes me laugh because he is sassy and you can't help but love him. Lily Collins plays the main girl which is another reason to love it.

5. Just Go With It
This is quite light hearted and extremely funny. I've watched this 3 or 4 times and I love it even more every time.

6. PS I love you
P.S. I Love You is a sad and funny romance movie and I love the story line because it's unique and so cute.

7. The Parent Trap
This one is a classic childrens film. If you haven't seen it, I'm worried about you. It's about twins that meet each other for the first time at a summer camp and create a plan to switch places in an attempt to get their parents back together. It's hilarious. 

8. Mean Girls
Again, if you haven't seen this I'm worried about you. This one is more for teen girls but I know loads of people who aren't teens or girls that have enjoyed it too.

9. Bridget Jones's Diary
I think the main reason I like this film so much is because it stars Colin Firth and Hugh Grant and they are 2 of my favourite actors.

10. Love Actually
This I probably like for the same reasons as above (Hugh Grant and Colin Firth).

11. The Vow
This one had me crying waterfalls every time I watched it. It's so romantic but I found it really sad too.

13. New Years Eve
I don't really remember this film much because I watched it so long ago but I do remember really liking it.

14. Angus Thongs and Perfect snogging
This is an obvious favourite for girls my age. It's funny and some parts are relatable. It was also filmed in the town I live in!

15. Ferris Bueller's Day Off
There's not much to say about this film apart from the fact that it is hilarious. It's quite old but I love it so much. It's really entertaining.

Morning Routine

Hello! Everyone has a morning routine whether it consists of 1 simple thing or 10 not so simple things. Here is mine that I thought I'd share with you.

These are the products I use.
Some days I use different things or miss something out but this is the general routine for me on both school days and weekends. I do recommend these products especially the mini mitt by soap and glory and triple action face wash for teenagers mainly.

Don't forget to wash your hands!

This soap smells exactly like cola bottles.
 I wash my hands, usually with this soap. Sometimes using a sweet smelling soap can be a little overwhelming so I occasionally use antibacterial soap or just any that's there.

Brush your teeth.
 Next I brush my teeth using the Oral-B pro-active toothpaste. I brush my teeth before breakfast however  I realise that some people prefer to brush after breakfast. It's up to you.

Simple-face wash. Soap & glory-face massage mini mitt. 
 This face wash is my main one and I LOVE it! I feel like it makes my face really clean and it definitely helps with spots. I have sensitive skin and I haven't had a reaction with this and it hasn't made my face red so that's good. It's by Simple and it's the spotless skin, triple action face wash.

The Soap and Glory mini mitt is a life saver. It helps make the most out of the face wash. I use it with face washes and face scrubs whenever I use them. It's really small so you can carry it around with you and use it dry on it's own to help blood flow.

Simple-exfoliating wash. Soap & glory-face massage mini mitt.
 Again I love this wash. It's from Simple again so I haven't had any redness. It's an exfoliating wash specially made for oily skin so it is perfect for me. It's the clear skin oil balancing exfoliating wash.

I like to use both face washes but I don't always use both everyday.


The next step is pretty self explanatory.

Dry your face.

Moisturising.
After that, I like to moisturise. I'm not too fussy with moisturisers although I do love this one. It's called E45. It makes my skin feel very soft and it's great for sensitive skin.

The next steps are basically just under eye concealer, curling my eyelashes, clear mascara and getting changed. 

The concealer is Rimmel London Wake me up concealer. 
I only curl my eyelashes some days and I use a normal curler from primark. 
I then apply clear mascara from natual collection. It's a lash care mascara so it keeps them healthy. Lastly I get changed into whatever I feel like wearing and then head down to breakfast.
