Netflix recommendations - Netflix Originals

Who doesn't love Netflix? 

I love that at the touch of a button I have access to so many different TV shows, films and documentaries. 

I have previously written a post about my documentary recommendations on Netflix which you can find here

Today I wanted to talk about my favourite Netflix originals because Netflix is seriously cranking out some great shows!

1. 13 Reasons Why. 

I watched this show much later than everybody else because honestly, it didn't sound like my cup of tea. When I finally did watch it I loved every second of it. I cried, I laughed and I was invested in the lives of every person and that season 1 finale defiantly nearly killed me off! 

2. Riverdale

So Riverdale is a controversial one. I know lots of people who aren't fans and would even go as far as calling the show cheesy. I however am a big fan! This is the kind of show that is so bad its good. I also have a HUGE crush on Cole Sprouse so there's that. 

3. Brain On Fire. 

I loved this from the moment I heard about it. This was not one of those that I avoided while everyone was all hyped up about it, something about this film spoke to me and I totally related to everything. Maybe its because when I'm having my migraines, I get very similar side effects, although no where near as bad!

4. Unsolved Mysteries

If you love murder documentaries you will love this! there is now 2 seasons and I'm hooked!

5. The Crown

I just don't even know what to say about this one! Just watch it! please!

Gift Guide - Gifts for her

 Why hello there! 

It has most defiantly been a while. I took a little break over lockdown 2.0 and honestly found it a little hard to get back into the swing of things blog wise. I got very overwhelmed and this blog took a bit of a back step to other priorities in life, but I'm back with a post I'm really loving. 

Is the 10th of December too late for a gift guide? All of the gifts I am listing here are available on Amazon, most with prime so I am saying no! 

This is a gift guide for the women in your life. Mostly things I have had my eye on for Christmas but if you need a last minute gift idea here are my suggestions to meet every budget.

1. Travel cups. 

Now if you have a coffee/tea lover in your life you cannot go wrong with a travel cup. I'm a tumbler girl myself (must have a straw) and this Ted Baker tumbler is gorgeous. It's a little more pricey then I would pay for myself currently at £20.34 but this makes it a perfect gift for your loved one, or if you have a bigger budget a great stocking filler!

If you are looking for a more traditional travel cup, Emma Bridgewater do some lovely ones (If you know me you know I'm after the stars!)

2. Candles

You cannot beat getting a nice big candle as a Christmas present. My go to is always Yankee Candle. However for presents I try to avoid the Christmas scents as by the time people are receiving your gift Christmas is over. I tend to buy things they can burn all year round and the Honeycomb is top of my list. Vanilla lime is also lovely if the person you are buying for doesn't love a sweet scent like me. 

3. Make up brushes

If the lady in your life is a make up lover, they will always appreciate a nice set of make up brushes. I love Spectrum brushes and the 10 pieces essentials set covers all bases! 

Real Techniques also have an amazing range and are great too. 

4. GHD Curve Creative Curl wand

I don't think I know any females of around my age or younger that don't curl their hair every now and then. I love to curl my hair and one of the things on the top of my list this year is this curling wand by GHD. It has great reviews and I'm desperate to try it. 

(also would love some GHD straighteners Sam, if you're reading this!)

5. Nespresso

The absolute top thing on my wishlist this year is a Nespresso . I love coffee but most of all I love ICED coffee, and honestly its just not the same at home, but with a Nespresso I feel like it would be pretty darn close to a Starbucks! I also really want the milk brother because how fancy when we can finally have people over!

So those are my top picks for Christmas gifts for her this year! Hope they have been helpful.
