The Body Remembers When The World Broke Open (2019) | Review

This review is not going to contain spoilers but it is going to talk about the film in detail so if you wanted to watch it and feel like this would spoil it for you, then here is your warning to stop reading and go and watch the film. As of the date of this post, t his film is currently still on Netflix in the UK so you should check it out! Also, there are brief mentions of domestic abuse in this post. If this is something that you are uncomfortable with or unable to cope with, I won't blame you for skipping it. Take care of yourself. * I'm making more of an effort to look at and review films by women that may have flown under the radar for a lot of people. I love finding out about films I'd like to watch and then realising they are on Netflix in the UK. What disappoints me is that I would have no idea that this was the case unless I found out about it from Twitter, because they often don't advertise these films on the front page. That was the case with the film I'm...

Bullet Journalling and Productivity

I came across bullet journalling by accident. After watching many hours of set-ups and reading many articles about it, what I've found is that most people seek out the bullet journal method. They need a way to organise their life and using a traditional planner had never worked for them so they scoured the internet for a mode that would work and they found this. That's the way the story usually goes. That's not how I found it. My story is much less interesting. I was watching a YouTube video and the person in the video mentioned bullet journalling, specifically talking about the YouTuber AmandaRachLee , who makes her living off showing her viewers how she sets up her journal spreads. Out of curiosity, I looked at her channel, specifically how to start a journal, and I was like "I have to do this." That was in August 2019. I have officially been bullet journalling for over a year and I'm here to say...I love it. I've used other planners and they definitely ...

Coyote Doggirl | Review

This review is not going to contain spoilers but it is going to talk about the book in detail so if you wanted to read it and feel like this would spoil it for you, then here is your warning to stop reading and go and get the book! Also, there are brief mentions of sexual assault in this post. If this is something that you are uncomfortable with or unable to cope with, I won't blame you for skipping it. Take care of yourself. * I've started this year very motivated. To do what, I'm not sure, but I'm very full of energy. I want to write. I want to watch as much cinema as I can get access to. And most pertinent to this post, I want to read as much as I can. I managed to complete my Goodreads challenge of 2020 of reading 50 books, the second year in a row I've done this, despite constantly believing throughout the year, that "I'm not reading enough". Who am I even comparing myself to at this point? 50 is a lot of books. I've set the same goal this yea...
