My Winter Chillout Playlist.

-

Hi all! Have you started back at work? Today was my first day back, but that doesn't mean the winter magic is over! We have a little while to go before we start getting those real Spring vibes. :) I have certain songs I like to listen to at different times of the year because some seem more fitting than others. :) This is my list of go-to Winter/Chillout songs! :)

Jessie Ware- Finish What We Started. 
Cheesy, and the echo-y vocals create an ethereal feel. This is the kind of song which can make you all emosh and reflective, so keep some tissues nearby.

OneRepublic - Counting Stars
What could possibly be more magical than a song about counting stars? 

 Jessie Ware - Kind Of...Sometimes...Maybe
Slow beats and a groovy tune you can jam to. Hooo hooo hoooooo!! A really cool song if you just want a chilled out evening with some chocolates and a face mask :) 

 Clean Bandit - Symphony (feat. Zara Larsson)
The xylophone notes and slow build up bursting into a more danc-y tune means you can definitely rock out to the beats without any head-banging!  

 Clean Bandit - Rather Be ft. Jess Glynne
Again, it's more the beats and music in the background I prefer rather than the actual words. I like rocking out to this tune (in my own bedroom lol.) My favourite bit has to be the violin because it has this elegant feel to the song. 

 Oh Land - White Nights
Quite random, obscure and metaphysical. It's a song about dreams under a pillow, and all the drummers are wearing animal masks?! The regular beats give it a childlike feel. 

 Demi Lovato - Let It Go ("Frozen")
Can any Winter Playlist be complete without this Disney gem? Remains loyal to the original, but also loaded with bad-assery because of the rock music. Twinkly and soft, then cue the head-banging! YEAHHHH!!!

 Lana Del Rey - Young and Beautiful 
Tragic and sad. If a song was an old person, this would be it. Whimsical, mournful and dramatic. What more could you expect from Lana Del Ray? 

 Grace - You Don't Own Me ft. G-Eazy
This song is really strange because it's got quite a sad Lana Del Ray feel about it, along with the slow swaying beats. But then you have a rapper interlude which changes up the genre. Quite broken and interrupted probably makes it ultra-funky. 

 Rihanna - Diamonds
Ok. Let's put it out there. Lots of people think it's about drugs. I will stick with diamonds and sparkly stuff in the sky. I prefer the 'shimmery' feel the tambourines give rather than the beats.

 John Legend-You & I Nobody In The World
A romantic tune you can jam to. Major power-couple vibes and passion!!

Take That - Rule The World
Again, epic mushness. The bits about the star give it that magical, celestial winter-y beautiful feel.

The Define Story

"Capture your imagination and let your true identity beautifully blossom." There was once a girl who loved to dress up. She enjoyed holding her grandma’s handbags, adorning herself with her mother’s jewels and wearing her own creations.                     A little girl born with glitter in her veins.  She was mesmerised by anything that sparkled. A little girl, who no matter how hard she tried, never felt like she fitted in.  Then after years of trying to conform, she gave up. She realised that some people were just not meant to fit in. They were born to stand out. Those drawn to DEFINE are looking for something bespoke, something classically timeless. A statement piece. Be inspired by the most interesting yet graceful pieces, individually hand-picked. With a keen eye for detail and love of textures, mixed together with a wonderfully sophisticated colour palette, our personal collection is tailored to your needs.

How to have a Harry Potter themed birthday.

-

HP was the first novel which got me hooked onto reading and will always be a firm favourite. The starry castle, the wizards flying high to the mermaids swimming deep down in The Lake have remained with me since. So it was only fitting that I have a HP themed birthday tea!  Read on to be mesmerised by my magical mischief... Prop ideas.  My backdrop was going to be a brick wall effect prop I had made previously. I was going to use this to create the King's Cross Station/entering Diagon Alley look, but the material wouldn't stay up :( Never mind!  What's great about it is that it is really quick to make, because all you need is a sheet of white cotton, with some red or brown rectangles printed on in paint.  I used the witch's hat, Harry's glasses and broomstick as the main props on my table. You could use both the broomstick and the witch's hat as photo props too for your friends! I think using these instead of card props is way more fun and authentic.  In the midd

Panto Review: De Montfort Hall's Beauty and the Beast.

https://twitter.com/demontforthall Everyone loves a good sing along at Christmas time! Ohhhh yess they do! Like every year, De Montfort Hall host a pantomime based on either a fairy-tale or a classic children's tale. And this year was no different. What with the success of he live-action re-make, it was a no-brainer that the pantomime would be Beauty and the Beast.  Sam Bailey returned this year as a narrator/good fairy along with Sarah Accomando (Beauty), BBC Radio Leicester's Martin Ballard, (Dame) and Richard McCourt from Dick and Dom in Da Bungalow. CBBC's (remember? 90s generation, I'm looking at you) Dick from Dick and Dom In Da Bungalow meant that the children were playing a game of BOGIES! with enthusiasm every time he made an appearance, and the pie-splats definitely allowed the children to put their silly hats on. It seems that no expense was spared on the props. Varied, bright and attractive, it was a visual treat for the young audience. Perhaps includ
