Need inspiration?

We all reach these points during blogging where we lose inspiration and determination to post, I know I have! Sometimes, all it needs for me personally to get back into blogging is a big push. Not a literal push of course, just a big boost of inspiration. However, it's really hard to find an event or person that just changes my mood and makes me want to blog 24/7. I understand that something can be mind-blowing to someone, but to another person it can be pretty average. 
As many of you already know, I 100% adore the blogger/youtuber/goddess Zoe Sugg (or more known as Zoella) for many reasons, but this weekend she particularly inspired me to blog more and not give up.
On the 17th of February 2009, when I was in year 6, Zoe started her blog which was then called "Schoee" innocently as she enjoyed writing. 4 years down the line, She has nearly 2 million subscribers on youtube, 613k twitter followers and 50,000 google followers on her blog. 
"If someone said to me 4 years ago, when I started this blog, that in 4 years time, you'd be sat opposite one of the worlds biggest boy bands interviewing them, and getting to meet them and speak to them (and give them multiple hugs), I'd have laughed in their face" 
 (A quote from Zoe's blog post, "Meeting One Direction" )
Last Monday, Zoe interviewed One Direction, one of the biggest boyband's of all time. I'm personally not a fan of 1D but I know that they have a huge following and the fact that Zoe, who started off just like all of us, having a little fun on a blog, was invited to interview them and attended the world premiere of 1D's new movie "This Is Us" really blows my mind. 

This is Zoe at the 1D premiere!

What i'm trying to say is that Zoe is a massive inspiration for me and probably many others reading this because she always drives me to do better and try harder generally in life, as eventually it will pay off somehow. Obviously, I'm not saying that I'm only blogging to 'get famous' or whatever, I blog because I have loads of thoughts and ideas that I weirdly think should be shared. I'm saying that I'm stunned by how far you can come from a simple hobby!

If you would like to see more about Zoe's trip down the red carpet, Here is her post!
Who is your inspiration?

P.S I have Pinterest! I thought I should give it a go and I would love you to follow me on it! You get to see me trying to understand how to use it, that could be entertaining!

'Mama' Horror film| Review



Hello everyone! So a couple of weeks ago, I watched the new horror release 'Mama' and I was really hyped up to see this because I love horror films and the trailer was thrilling, but i was really disappointed as it turns out all the best bits are in the trailer.
For half the film it was mostly storytelling and setting the mise-en-scene, which I appreciate however I felt like they dragged this out as it lasted about 50 minutes.
Then once the tension had reached maximum and you think "right about now it's going to get horrifically scary and I will regret watching this" the tension levels stayed neutral and it was a massive disappointment. The whole film is revolved around the aspect of 'Mama', a troubled ghost just trying to protect these girls and that is a very good idea however the way that they created the image of her just ruined it. In my opinion, they made her too animated and less realistic which means less scary and more disappointment. 
I also found that the ending of the film was very distressing and dramatic however at the same time it was more like a disney channel film as like I said, It was very animated and less believable which means you can't relate to it, which is the key to making a scary film as if you can relate to it, it becomes more real and hence more scary.
Overall, I think this film was decent as I was never bored whilst watching it, however it didn't live up to the massive hyped that was created about its release. But if you like thrillers that aren't necessarily scary, then this would be a great movie.

*Some Background Info*
'Mama' is a horror/thriller film directed & co-written by Andres Muschietti. It is set in mid Winter where a man who seemed to have a mental breakdown although no real explanation was shown, and he drove himself and his two daughters off the edge of a cliff. They all miraculously survive with merely cuts or bruises, and they all discover a house in the middle of the woods. They enter & place themselves near a fireplace. After a jump-shot, the scene returns with the dad carrying one of the girls into a different room whilst crying, and holding a gun to her head. However, just before he attempts to ill her, a mysterious shadow takes the dad into the depths of the darkness and he never returns into the movie.
It then jumps to a CSI type of scene where the uncle of the girls rushes o the house because he heard the drama and for a couple years, the girls were never found. Then he receives some news that the investigation had succeed and they found the girls in this house in the middle of the forest. However, there is something not right about the girls, as if they are possessed. 
The uncle and his rock-obsessed girlfriend adopt the girls but throughout the film they are battling the grandma to keep them.
The two sisters start mentioning this "Mama" in consultations and slowly, people start to realise that mama is real and is very dangerous.
You later find out that Mama is just a distressed ghost with a very sensitive past and is trying to find her dead baby.
