Transformation Tuesday: Week 109

I've been continuing with my 'saying yes' philosophy this week and it feels almost as if I've turned over a whole new leaf. Who am I?*

Transformation Tuesday: Week 108

I've never been a spontaneous 'yes' person.

If talking yourself out of social situations due to irrational and unfounded internal fears was an Olympic sport I'd be off to Rio in a few weeks' time to win myself a gold medal. I'm an expert at wanting to do so many things and either stopping myself before I can agree to them, or saying yes and then flying into such a severe anxiety attack that I have no other option but to cancel in order to straighten my head out.

Well, not any more. I decided to challenge myself be a 'yes' person in the latter half of 2016, and for once I stepped up rather than hiding in a corner and panicking. As it so happens, saying 'yes' isn't half as scary as I once thought.

Transformation Tuesday: Week 107

Oh, I am back.

Transformation Tuesday: Week 106

Channeling Daenerys has been such a godsend this week. I feel more like 'me' than I have in ages, so I really can't complain about this change in direction!

Quarter-Life Crisis Challenge: July 2016

It's safe to say, this month's challenge has been a complete fail.

Transformation Tuesday: Week 105

Well I didn't give up on yoga, but I also didn't go near it with a barge pole either...

Transformation Tuesday: Week 104

Yeah, this hasn't been the best week either.

Transformation Tuesday: Week 103

Oh I'm not going to lie, this week has been awful.

Transformation Tuesday: Week 102

Why does half term always fly by in what feels like a matter of seconds?

Quarter-Life Crisis Challenge: June 2016

I think I was born in the wrong century: I absolutely love to cross-stitch.

Transformation Tuesday: Week 101

Welcome to post 101! Triple figures seems ridiculous: how have I managed to get this far?

Transformation Tuesday: Week 100

Here we are: 100 Transformation Tuesday posts!

Coming Soon: May 2016

As ever, May's a bit of a mixed bunch film-wise!

There are comedies (Bad Neighbours 2 and Whiskey Tango Foxtrot); animated family-favourites (Angry Birds and Robinson Crusoe); biopics (I Saw the Light and Florence Foster Jenkins) and CGI filled IMAX blockbusters (X-Men: Apocalypse, Alice Through the Looking Glass, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows and Warcraft). Then there's the sort-of sequel to Dazed and Confused from acclaimed director Richard Linklater, Everybody Wants Some!!, a college comedy that has been met with multitudes of 5* reviews but left me cold as it reminded me of everything I detested about university...

Also of note is Patrick Stewart's villainous turn in violent drama Green Room; Jodie Foster's latest thriller featuring veterans George Clooney and Julia Roberts alongside 2014 golden-boy and up and coming star Jack O'Connell, Money Monster; Terrence Malick's bizarre-looking drama with an astonishing cast Knight of Cups; Jane Austen period drama Love and Friendship; and John le Carré espionage thriller Our Kind of Traitor.

While there might not be as many films opening this month as there have been previously this year, I think it's safe to say there'll be something for everyone!

Transformation Tuesday: Week 99

I can't quite believe I'm careening into 100 of these posts without a huge update to speak of, and I have to say - yet again - things are pretty boring round here at the moment.

Transformation Tuesday: Week 98

I think I work best when I'm busy.
