Happy birthday Tom Hanks!

By -


Today is my favourite person in all the world's birthday- Tom Hanks! For those of you who don't already know, I am obsessed with Tom Hanks! Not because he's my celebrity crush or because I think he's hot, because it's not that at all. I adore him in the way I think he'd be a great dad or granddad or uncle! He's just so...lovely! Not to mention an incredibly talented actor! So, in honour of his birthday today, I'm going to share with you my favourite Tom Hanks films of all time!

Forrest Gump.
My number one favourite film of all time, let alone Tom Hanks film. His acting is just incredible, the story is heartbreaking as well as heartwarming, totally emotional and just...so good. Words can not describe!

You've Got Mail.
This is the kind of film that leaves you all fuzzy inside! It's just the perfect rom com movie, and Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks make the perfect on screen pairing. There's some lovely quotes in the film too, I just don't see how people can not enjoy this film.

Big.
Big is one of the first Tom Hanks film's I remember watching, aside from hearing his voice in Toy Story of course. It's remained one of my favourite's to this day, I just love it! It's a hilarious story, there's some small emotional parts, but overall it just puts a huge smile on your face! And Tom Hanks is great at acting with a 12 year old's mentality too.

Money Pit.
Money Pit is a film I often find many of my friends have never even heard of, yet it is so hilarious! It's one of the films that makes me laugh the most- if you've never seen it before you are missing out, so go and buy a copy asap!

Extremely loud, incredibly close.
Tom Hanks only has a minor role in this film but it's still such a good film of his. It touches on the sensitive subject of 9/11 and so is, of course, incredibly emotional. I cried throughout almost the entire film. It's brilliant though, and a must see!

Children With Cancer UK Fashion Show!

Friday 27th February 2015 saw the grand event that was a fashion show in London for the fabulous charity, Children with Cancer UK. I was invited to the event about 2 weeks ago as a blogger, to cover the event and raise awareness of the charity. I was honored to have been asked to do so, as the charity is really just so important, as well as super excited to cover a fashion show, as this was something I had never done before! The night was a huge success, and the display of talent was extremely impressive- from the designers work, to the various acts performing in between! The venue was fairly glamorous, based at The Building Centre in London, and upon entry we received glasses of wine, nibbles and goody bags, as well as having the opportunity to mingle with some of the other guests before the show began. When it was time for the show to start, I went to try and seat myself- only to find that because I was "press", I needed to get myself a press pass (which I was thri

#MentalHealthAwarenessWeek - Body Image and Mental Health

By -

This week (13th - 20th May 2019) is Mental Health Awareness Week. This year, the theme is Body Image - how we think and feel about our bodies.  Those of you who have followed me for some time will know that for about two years now, if not more, I have been an advocate for body positivity and self love. More recently, you may have seen me featured in a story in The Metro , talking about a body shaming incident I experienced on holiday and how I dealt with it.  There's absolutely no denying that there is a direct correlation between body image and our mental health. I know that personally, when I'm experiencing a "bad body day" and don't feel very positively about my body, for whatever reason, my mental health goes down the drain too. Yet when we feel good about our bodies, this can be reflected in our mental health too.  When I experienced body shaming in my bikini on holiday, I felt the lowest I had in a while. I believed the words I'd heard -

Eating Disorders- the Blunt Truth.

WARNING:  The following content is sensitive and me be triggering to those suffering from, recovering from or who have recovered from eating disorders such as anorexia or bulimia and other health problems such as depression. As I sit down in my local pub ready to tuck into my generous portion of gammon and chips, I feel a prickle on the back of my neck- that all to familiar feeling of knowing that someone is staring at you. As I whip my head around the dining area, my eyes fall on the slender figure of a girl, probably around my age, maybe a few years younger, looking at me with disgust in her eyes- disgust clearly at the way I look and what I'm eating. I feel fat, bulky, uncomfortable and I let my glance fall to her own plate, noticing she has a salad, mostly untouched. She sips constantly at her water like it's the only thing keeping her alive. It probably is. It is a sad but true statistic that over half of teenage girls and one third of teenage boys use unhealthy wei
