The Fault In Our Stars

Okay. 

My little sister had watched the film yesterday and came home with a bunch of used tissues in her bag saying the film was amazing. Now, she'd read the book and had been looking forward to the film for a while. I, on the other hand, had not yet read the book but knew the overall story. However I was still looking forward to watching the film and decided I'd go today with a couple of friends.

We decided to go to the 3:30PM showing since it meant we could get lunch beforehand. 

We went to Picture House in Stratford where student tickets are £5 each, which I thought was pretty cheap! I think that price is only available Monday to Thursday though.

The film itself came as a bit of a disappointment to me. Maybe it's because I had set quite high standards after hearing amazing reviews about it or maybe it's because the plot itself just wasn't to my taste. Either way it just didn't wow me. My friends would definitely disagree though as both of them shed a few tears throughout the course of the film. 

To be fair though, the romance scenes were kinda cute in a very cheesy way >.<

Overall: Okay. That is actually how I would describe this film: it wasn't amazing but it wasn't horrible either. It was just okay. 

Mini Boots and Superdrug beauty haul

Hey guys!

So last week I did a kind of mini haul from Superdrugs and Boots and I thought I'd just talk about my purchases.

1. Yes To Blueberries Eye Cream-  This is a product that I've wanted since I heard about the Yes To range and I knew I had to get it when it was 1/3 off in Boots (so £14.99 to £9.99). I haven't started using it yet but will do so soon!

2. Olay Essentials Complete SPF30 Lotion- Now I use the Olay Complete Care Fluid on a daily basis but I thought I'd pick this lotion up as it has SPF30 rather than SPF15. I bought two as they were 2 for £15 at Boots.

3. Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm Pink Blossom- £5.99. I've never in my 19 years of living have had a lip balm like this! What I mean by this is, I've never had a lip balm 'stick': tin=yes, stick=no. I ended up buying the Burt's Bee lip balm as my sister has the same one in the shade Red Dahlia and loved it so I thought I'd get it too. It is really moisturising but I feel that it needs more applications than normal Vaseline. However I like the colour on my lips so I guess it makes up for it in that sense :) 

4. Colgate 360 degree Sonic Power Battery Powered Toothbrush- £3.25 (Normally £6.50 but was half price). I needed a toothbrush and this sounded cool so... :l 

5. Rimmel Professional Eye Brow Pencil Black- £2.99. My eyebrows are very sparse at the ends and I wanted a cheap but effective pencil to fill them in. I had read good reviews on this product so I picked it up too. The lid has a little brush on it which makes your eyebrows look nice and clean too.

6. Garnier, The Ultimate Blends The Sleek Restorer Shampoo and Conditioner- These two were the only things I bought at Superdrug and they were 2 for £4. This is a pretty new product and I haven't heard much about it so it was more of an impulse buy. 

Reviews may be posted soon :) But until then...

Take care,

Eat out: Pie Factory, Whitechapel

Hey guys! 

The other day me and a couple of friends decided to go eat out at Pie Factory. I'd been before and I was super excited to go again! Now, for me this is a pretty unusual thing as I tend not to visit restaurants more than once (fast food places- yes, but not those "proper" restaurants). So from this you guys should know how great the place is :)

We got there around one in the afternoon and the place wasn't too packed. We did have to wait a few minutes for a table though. 

The restaurant has these cute little signs all over the wall but this one probably got the most attention.

Although the pie factory does make food other than pies, pies are their specialty so we all decided to go for those. I'd had the chicken & mushroom pie last time so I went for the spinach & feta this time. My friends both went for the chicken and mushroom.

Now each pie comes with two sides and gravy. I went for roast veg and mash and the other two went for spicy mash and wedges.

Mine :)

Theirs :)

The portions are really good and for £4.95? That's amazing!

Take care,

Santhiya
