Hello everyone,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Recently I've been getting into sewing a lot more. My mum has always sewn and I've dabbled in the past, but I've discovered that I love to take items and change them up. My first project a few months ago was to take a floral dress which was too short, cut the top part off and sew it onto a maxi skirt I had to create a maxi dress, and I loved doing it. So, yesterday I tackled a new project.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A while ago I bought a vintage dress in the charity shop. It was a few sizes too big and definitely looked outdated and not my style, and I'd been wanting to do something with it for a while because I loved the fabric. Yesterday, I finally got a burst of determination and decided to take on the project and I am so happy with the results.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>After</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh05iPnWfV5kU9DxA_jcOyWMoabMUKaaS0mqQs_UvkuPMUB4tpXDHACiYoQdC4EA0hxfvxuuqgT6dhtV9OJK2wLh9_v31NBiTchM_s8c3rqgHeqylrRGjv_qjWE3TMutiLV5sA8ON9kUJM/w254-h637-no/" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
It took me a couple of hours to get this result, but how I did it was fairly simple. My first step was to remove the sleeves and refinish the armholes and as soon as I did that, it made a huge difference. The next step was to get it to actually fit me. My mum helped me out by telling me the best way to take the dress in and then I got to sewing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The armholes were huge on me, so it needed so drastic alteration and so I started by taking it in along the front and back seams. As I was doing this, a waistline started to appear and the more I worked, the more it tailored to me. Each time I took in a seam, I'd try it on again and see where I had to adjust.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
After I'd taken in the two front seams and two back seams. I took it in at each side seam, tapering off at the waist so that I wouldn't lose the belt loops. It was still too big, so I took it in at the shoulder seams and then each side seam again by about an inch each. Once that was done, I tried it on again and this time it fit! I was so happy and I love the end result. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Originally I'd been planning on removing the collar and changing the buttons as I thought they made the dress look too old-fashioned for my taste. But, after taking it in and removing the sleeves, I found I loved the look with these items. So, I left them where they were and I now love the dress.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I'm excited to try more alterations soon.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I recently signed up for a year's subscription to birchbox and I wanted to do an unboxing for you all. This is the January 2018 box. I was immediately excited about this one, because of the box design itself. I've recently become obsessed with flamingos. My iPad cover has flamingos on it, my weekly planner has flamingos and they make more than one appearance in my bedroom. So, very excited.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here's what I got.</div>

Hi all,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm back with another my week in music post. I'm going with a slightly different format this week, so I hope you like it.</div>

This week, I've definitely been listening to a few key artists. I've been loving <i>O'Brother </i>and <i>Amber Run</i>. Today I listened to <i>Camila Cabello's</i> album for the first time and while it's not the usual kind of music I'd gravitate towards, I enjoyed listening and it was a great album to just dance around. I had great fun today making my lunch while moving around to it and there are some really great songs on there. A particular favorite from the album is <i>Something's Gotta Give</i>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Besides those artists, I've been discovering a lot of new music. 19% of my listening for the week was made up of new artists.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
So, that's what I've been listening to this week. Let me know what track you've had on repeat in the comments, and please share and subscribe if you like this post.</div>

As you may or may not know. I like TV shows. Given the choice between watching several episodes of something or watching a movie, I'll pick the show and I'm always on the lookout for something new, so here are some shows hitting the screens in 2018 that I'm going to be checking out.<br />
Some (a lot) of these are American shows, so I'm not sure when/where I'll get to watch these in the UK, but as a subscriber to three different streaming services, I'm hopeful I'll be able to watch all of them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Luke Cage - Season Two</li>
<li>Lost in Space</li>
<li>The Good Place - Season Two B</li>
<li>Daredevil - Season Three</li>
<li>Safe</li>
<li>Jessica Jones - Season Two</li>
<li>Riverdale - Season Two B</li>
<li>A.P. Bio</li>
<li>The Chi</li>
<li>Good Girls</li>
<li>The Resident</li>
<li>Rise</li>
<li>War of the Worlds</li>
<li>9-1-1</li>
<li>American Idol</li>
<li>Unnamed Grey's Anatomy Spin-off</li>
<li>You</li>
</ul>
<div>
Those are the shows that I've found out about so far, but I'm sure there are probably more shows coming soon that I'll want to check out.</div>
<div>
What's on your watchlist for 2018? Let me know in the comments and please share and subscribe if you liked this post.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I love stats. Seeing my data pulled together in handy little info-graphics is always fun for me, so I decided to share my music listening stats for the week. All of this data and the images were taken from my <a href="https://www.last.fm/home" target="_blank">Last.fm</a> profile.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These stats are from December 29th - December 4th (Because weirdly the week runs Friday-Thursday).</div>

Hi all,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Recently I've become a lot more concerned about taking care of my skin. I've always had very dry, sensitive skin but I never buckled myself down to a proper skincare routine. Now, I'm a few days away from turning twenty-six and it seemed like time to stop being hit and miss with my skincare.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm keeping it pretty simple at the moment and in future I may add more steps and branch out into new products, but for now, this is what I do.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish or No.7 Hot Cloth Cleanser</li>
</ul>
<div>
I start with one of these products. At the moment I'm trialing the No.7 version to see how it compares to Liz Earle's, which I was previously using.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>No.7 Beautiful Skin Cleansing Brush</li>
</ul>
<div>
I use this to apply the cleanser for a deeper clean and softer skin. I'd been wanting a brush like this for a long time and had been considering getting the Vanity Planet one which I'd heard great things about, but I decided to try this one, which was at a much lower price point. So far, I'm finding my skin is a lot softer, however, I have been breaking out more. I'll be doing a full review of this product at the end of the month, so stay tuned for that.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Bio-Oil</li>
</ul>
<div>
This is my go-to product. It has so many uses but I primarily use it as my moisturizer. I was introduced to this product by my mum who started using it a while back and I am so glad I picked it up. I have tried so many different moisturizers, from cheap store brands to higher end ones and I just couldn't find something that worked well enough for my dry skin. My foundation would always look flaky and dry pretty much as soon as I applied it, and no matter how many moisturizers and foundations I tried, I had the same issue. However, since using Bio-Oil, my skin has been so much softer and smoother and my makeup is applying a lot nicer.</div>
</div>
<div>
I highly recommend you check this product out.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Nature Love Detoxifying Body Lotion: Charcoal and Argan Oil</li>
</ul>
<div>
I picked this product up recently and it's my current body lotion. I'm really liking it so far but I've only been using it for about three or four days, so I'll have to give a fuller review of this at the end of the month.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And that's it. Four simple steps and beyond that it's just water and the occasional sheet mask. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Let me know in the comments what's in your skincare routine, and please share and subscribe if you liked this post.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Until next time,</div>

Hi all,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today I wanted to talk a little about YouTube. I spend a decent amount of time browsing through YouTube, when I'm not feeling great and I just want to relax for a while, but my head hurts too much to read and my attention span won't allow me to dive into one of the shows I'm watching, which you can check out <a href="https://messylittlemoments.blogspot.com/2017/12/2017-what-i-was-watching.html" target="_blank">here</a>. I'll most likely be watching YouTube videos. I'm always flitting about from recommended video to recommended video, but I definitely have some channels that I watch consistently and enjoy, so I wanted to share those with you.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/annnnnalee" target="_blank">There She Goes</a></li>
</ul>
<div>
I love thrifting, both going out and doing it myself and watching other people's videos and this channel puts up some of my favorite ones. While the items aren't always my style, I do love the editing and being brought along to the stores, rather than simply an at home haul. </div>
<div>
If you're into thrift or fashion videos, I would definitely recommend this channel.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCC_GSLfEd3Ms9r_e7pxuqbg" target="_blank">Shine on Media</a></li>
</ul>
<div>
I found this channel through her weekly recaps of Riverdale episodes and I became a quick fan. I love the recaps and opinions, with the inclusion of clips from the show and theories. She also has other content besides TV show recaps, which I also enjoy.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCU-ZXqhx1xjsxO1ftXJELdg" target="_blank">KKandbabyJ</a></li>
</ul>
<div>
I watch a few different family vlog channels, but KKandbabyJ is definitely my favorite. Karen and Khoa make such entertaining daily vlogs with their two kids Jackson and Landon, and it's through them that I've found a lot of my other favorite YouTubers.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGAz_OMXtFMZr-zEGOUgDOg" target="_blank">Jelian Mercado</a></li>
</ul>
<div>
Another family channel. I found this one through KKandbabyJ and I love Jelian's channel. She vlogs regularly with her son Mateo and I always enjoy watching.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsZsDjpf2Ppv_cT2K6_q2cw" target="_blank">Refinery29</a></li>
</ul>
<div>
This channel has such a range of different content and it's all well made and enjoyable. My personal favorite series of theirs right now is the sweet digs videos.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbAwSkqJ1W_Eg7wr3cp5BUA" target="_blank">Safiya Nygaard</a></li>
</ul>
<div>
Safiya is one of the few YouTuber's I watch that I instantly click as soon as I see her video posted. She has such a great personality and does a range of different videos, including beauty, fashion and buying things the internet recommends for her. Always a little off beat and doing something strange, I love watching her videos.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIJwWYOfsCfz6PjxbONYXSg" target="_blank">Blogilates</a></li>
</ul>
<div>
This is my go-to workout channel on YouTube. Cassey posts new videos regularly and they vary in intensity and difficulty level, and since there are so many, I can change up my workout whenever I want and mix and match playlists. </div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So, those are the top channels that I've been watching recently. Let me know if you like any of these channels, and comment below with which channels you love. Please share and subscribe if you like this post.</div>

Hi all,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am a huge fan of TV shows. I can easily spend hours upon hours binge-watching a show, whilst I can't seem to sit down and watch a movie. I'll always pick a good show over a movie because I like seeing the story unfold over seasons and seasons and really get that character development in. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Because I like shows so much, I'm always on the lookout for something new to watch and so I wind up with a lot of shows on the go at once. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I wanted to share a little bit of what I was watching in 2017. Not all of these will be 2017 releases, it's just what I've been the most interested in this year.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Riverdale</li>
</ul>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I started this show right around when it first came out, but I only made it three episodes into the story before I gave up. It wasn't until months later, after my sister had been watching it, that I decided to give it another shot. I started from the beginning and as soon as I made it past episode three, I regretted never finishing it before. Riverdale quickly became one of my favorite shows and it's definitely my current obsession show.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While season two hasn't been as great as season one, I have high hopes for the second half of the season in January and it's still the show I eagerly wait for each week.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Pretty Little Liars</li>
</ul>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2017 saw the final episode of PLL airing and it was bittersweet for me. This is a show that I've been watching for years, I was invested in it and it's never fun to see a show you love ending, but it also just felt like time. For a show that I absolutely loved when it first came out, I started to feel as if it was falling apart the longer it went on. While I did enjoy the show as a whole and I've definitely rewatched it a lot and probably will watch some episodes again in the future. I do think the show ran possibly too long and I was disappointed in the ending. </div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm including it on this list, simply because for a very long time it was one of my favorite shows, even if ultimately, it ended up frustrating me.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">The Good Place</li>
</ul>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Similar to Riverdale, this is a show I started watching this year and I loved the first season. It was so funny, with a great cast and interesting storyline. I've been a fan of Kristen Bell for a long time and this show is excellent. But, like Riverdale, the second season has been a little lackluster compared to the first, but it's definitely a show I'm going to keep up with.</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Stranger Things</li>
</ul>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Season two premiered recently and I finished it in about two days. Who needs sleep, right? The first season was incredible. I loved the characters, the world, the story, everything about it. Now, whilst season two had it's moments and had me rooting for characters who I previously hadn't thought much of. It also felt like a letdown. I was so excited for its return, but like so many other shows, season two was not as good as the first season. </div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Chesapeake Shores</li>
</ul>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's cheesy. Oh, so cheesy, but it's also just a really sweet show surrounding a large family full of great characters. It's the kind of show you can just chill out with, and it doesn't have me screaming at the screen or throwing things like other shows have this past year. Also, it's set in an incredibly beautiful town, and who doesn't love to see beautiful small towns?</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Anne with an E</li>
</ul>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I grew up watching Anne of Green Gables, the version with Megan Follows. I've seen it so many times, so when I found out about this new version, two things crossed my mind. The first was that I was definitely going to watch it. The second, I wondered if it would be able to live up to a version which I loved.</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was pleasantly surprised, that by the second episode I already loved it more. The characters are so well thought out and I'm really enjoying the darker side that they're showing. It's a show that I'm already fully invested in and I just want it to come back already!</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">When Calls The Heart</li>
</ul>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Just like Chesapeake, this show is full of cheesy moments but it's also just a really sweet, romantic story. Set in a small mining town in the early 1900s, this story has some characters who you'll fall in love with and definitely root for. It's not the greatest show in the world, but it's definitely something I've been enjoying watching this past year.</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Iron Fist</li>
</ul>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm a Marvel fan. A big one and I've been watching all of the shows released on Netflix, so of course, when Iron Fist came out, I had to watch it. But, unlike Daredevil, Jessica Jones and Luke Cage. I didn't love this one. </div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It has some good moments and even some characters that I liked and rooted for, but Danny wasn't one of them. Honestly, it took me so long to even get around to watching the final two episodes, because by that point I was so underwhelmed by the show. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">The Defenders</li>
</ul>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Of all the Marvel shows, this is the one that I was the most excited for. I love a good team-up and having these characters all working together, seemed like it was going to be great. I went in expecting it to be my favorite show but wound up disappointed. The pacing felt really slow and the story lacking. I'm hoping for more in the future from the Marvel shows because they started out so well and with this one and Iron Fist, I've been left disappointed.</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Grey's Anatomy</li>
</ul>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm a bit late to the crowd on this one. I hadn't seen a single episode until 2017 and now I'm playing catch up. I'm currently in season 4 and I'm enjoying it. It's kind of my go-to show when I want to binge right now. Character driven and full of drama, it definitely has me rooting for certain characters... Just not Meredith, who actually annoys me more often than she doesn't.</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And that's it... it's not everything I've been watching, but it's a snapshot of the shows that I've either watched all the current episodes of, finished, or am actively watching.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
All of these shows I've been watching on streaming services. Either Netflix or NowTV.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Hi all,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I wanted to share with you some of my stats from Spotify this past year, but not only that because although I love a good info-graphic. It doesn't give a full picture of my musical obsessions for the year, because there have been a lot of songs that I've loved, which I found much later in the year, so I didn't get as many plays on them for it to reach the top of the lists.</div>

Wow, so it's been a while. I've kind of been off track will all of my blogs recently and I wanted to get restarted. So, I came on here, completely redesigned the site and then clicked over to posts and noticed that the last thing I wrote, was in 2015! How did that even happen? I knew it had been a while, but it didn't seem like so long ago.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm planning on getting back into the swing of things and posting regularly. I've got a few ideas already and I'm going to schedule some posts over the next few days. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For right now, I don't think I'm going to stick to any specific upload schedule, other than trying to post at least twice a week.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I want this site to be a mix of a lot of different things, like before. I'll be writing about beauty, film, tv, music, fashion and also sharing my eBay listings because over the past few months I've started selling on eBay.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If anyone has specific posts they'd like to see, let me know. The only things I won't be covering here are books and writing because that will be over on my book-related blog <a href="https://the-book-tower.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">The Book Tower</a>. I also won't be discussing my diet and fitness journey because everything related to that will be on my blog <a href="https://askinnyfit.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">A Skinny Fit</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Everything else will be right here.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm working on a post about my favorite tracks of 2017 right now, so keep an eye out for that and please comment, share and subscribe if you like what you see.</div>

Hi all,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have a definite favorite on my playlist this week. <i>Battles</i> by Hudson Taylor. It's a song I've been hitting repeat on, and dancing around too. It's a really great song to just jump up and down to, which I did a lot of today, until my health condition decided to make me stop, and I wound up collapsing. Oh well. The slower songs work to chill me out when I'm feeling unwell, so this mix has the perfect song for energetic moments, and moments when I need to be lying in bed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So have a listen, and let me know which song is your favorite.</div>

Hi all,</div>

To start off with, I thought I'd share with you ten different nail looks that I absolutely adore. I'm not fantastic at nail art, but I want to get better, and these looks are my inspiration. Varying in style, and difficulty levels. All of these designs caught my eye, and I just had to pin them. Take a look and let me know which ones you love.</div>

Hi all,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Just as a warning, if you're not caught up to the current episode shown in the UK. Please be aware there will be spoilers ahead.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This past weekend saw the start of the final series of Downton Abbey. I've been a fan of the show since the very beginning, and so it's sad to see it coming to an end. However, I do feel as if it's time to let this one go. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What was, in the first two seasons, an incredible show and one of my favorites, has in my opinion lost some of its appeal in later seasons. This is largely in part, to the departure of some of my favorite characters. However, I was still pleased to have it back, and I am looking forward to seeing how it all ends.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As far as the first episode goes. I think it did a good job of laying out what the main storylines will be over the course of the final season. Each key character has a little something going on, from the upcoming wedding of Carson and Mrs Hughes to Edith and Mary both breaking out on their own in their individual ways, tackling the working world either at home or away from it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There seem to be some interesting things on the horizon, and already I was getting ideas in my head about how all of the storylines will tie off.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
No doubt, this season will see some love interests cropping up for Mary, and possibly even Edith, who up until this point, has not been doing well in the love department. Here's hoping she'll get a better ride in the last season. It's about time she had some positivity in her storylines.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'd like to believe we've seen the end of the deaths, but this is Downton, so I'm not counting anything out just yet. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
All in all, I liked the first episode, and found myself laughing out loud on more than one occasion, which was nice after some serious heart wrenching episodes in the past.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm looking forward to the rest of the season, and depending on how things go and if I have things to say, I may be writing more about the season before it's over.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For now, I'll just say that I'm happy to have Downton back on the screen.</div>

<img height="400" src="http://s.sidereel.com/tv_shows/32075/giant_2x/pll.jpg" width="275" /></div>
Hi all, <div>
Today I wanted to talk a little about one of my favorite shows, Pretty Little Liars. This post will contain spoilers for the most recent shown season, so if you don't want anything spoiled, then please don't continue to read.</div>
<div>
I'm not going to be doing a review of this show, though in the future, I may, but for this post I wanted to focus on the ending of season 6a. The last episode <i>Game Over, Charles</i>, is I would say the most anticipated <gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="83710b8b-f66b-44ed-804a-17f0560a5650" id="0058545b-2d99-477b-b366-036e36e2613c">episode</gs> ever. The answers we got in that episode were one after the other, and for the most part I thought it was a fantastic episode.</div>
<div>
However, I want to voice my opinions about the ending. The five year time skip, was entirely unexpected to me, and I don't quite know what to think about it.</div>
<div>
On the one hand, I understand why they're doing it, because the ages the girls were getting to, graduating and heading off to college, it would have been difficult to keep things going. So in that <gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="da1c7976-f05f-4855-8f72-ceb08cfa2efb" id="7f79eeba-cebe-4ebc-9fcf-94dd38608b7c">sense I</gs> do get why they're moving things ahead. However, a five year time skip, feels like we're going to lose a lot of the storyline from the current timeline. Though we got a lot of answers, it didn't all feel well wrapped up. There are still a lot of questions, and reactions I'd like to see.</div>
<div>
They never did deal with the girls moms, all being locked in the basement. So I guess we just assume they got out, and we won't get to see their reactions, or the girls <gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="80c30106-1a40-4f2d-a0c1-bdbaccd87bc5" id="1c039b61-be08-4e42-a826-129328d7b484">to</gs> everything that happened.</div>
<div>
Moving ahead so much, I also wonder about the sub plots. The relationships, which we've spent five and a half seasons watching develop, and now we're skipping so much time, that things will have changed drastically.</div>
<div>
I'll admit, I'm intrigued about how this skip is going to play out, what it is that's brought the girls back together, and how well they'll go into what happened while they were all away from Rosewood. However, I do have my concerns, and top among them, is that the series won't be as good with such a drastic change, as it has been to this moment.</div>
<div>
What do you think? Are you looking forward to the time skip? Or do you have some concerns?</div>
<div>

Hi all,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sorry, this is being posted a little late, but I wanted to make sure I got it up, because I found some really great tracks this week.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here's what I've been hitting repeat on.</div>

Hi all,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I wanted to start a new weekly segment based around TV shows, as there are a lot of great shows out there, and I like watching/talking about them. So this week, I'm going to be talking about one of my most recent watches/obsessions, Community.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.jennreese.com/wp-content/uploads/181537-community-community-poster-204x300.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.jennreese.com/wp-content/uploads/181537-community-community-poster-204x300.jpg" /></a> I got into this show, after my brother recommended it to me, while I was looking for something to watch on Netflix. It's a show that I've known about for a long time, and often considered watching, but never actually did. I once watched the first half of the first episode, but something made me stop and I didn't go back. So this time, I decided to watch it and give it a longer trial than half an episode.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am so glad that I did.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Often with me, when I find a new show that I love, I kind of binge watch it until I run out, and this is exactly what happened here. Before I knew it, I had watched all six seasons, and I was desperately wanting more.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="8857faf8-cf78-41dd-b09e-370219f1ed08" id="fb46556c-e820-4bd7-8192-910865c44816">Community</gs> has a great group of characters, all played to perfection, who really pull you into the show.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is honestly one of the funniest shows I've seen, and the sheer level of randomness is outstanding. So if you love quirky comedies, then this one is definitely for you.</div>

At the moment, there are six seasons, and it's currently uncertain if there will be a seventh, or even a possible movie. I have to say, I am completely on board with a new season or a movie or both, because I do not want this to end.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My favorite character in the show has to be Abed, he's one of the quirkiest and TV/Movie obsessed, with a lot of awesome quotes and pop culture references.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The biggest reason I want more, though, is Jeff and Annie. I could not love those two more, and I do not feel like their story is over. In my head it definitely isn't because in my head, they are perfect for one another. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Basically, I loved this show, for all it's insanely random moments. The paintball episodes, the very creative animated episodes. This is the kind of show where you think it can't get any weirder, and then it does, and you love that it does.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I highly recommend this show. It's definitely one that I'll go back to and re-watch, especially all my favorite episodes.</div>

Hi all,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sorry, this is coming a little late. I've had issues posting today, so it's technically Tuesday, but only just, and I wanted to get this up. I've also decided to tweak the layout of these posts, and put the actual playlist inside the post. Hope you like it better this way.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There have been some great songs that I've loved this week. Here's the best of them.</div>

Hi all,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm back again with another list of the songs I've been loving this week. This will be a weekly feature, of all the songs, old and new, that I've been listening to over the past week. I have some great ones this week, including a new track from one of my long time favorites, Delta Goodrem.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>A Girl, A Boy and A Graveyard by Jeremy Messersmith</li>
<li>You Don't Know How Lucky You Are by Keaton Henson</li>
<li>Wings by Delta Goodrem</li>
<li>The Empty Northern Hemisphere by Gregory Alan Isakov</li>
<li>Nervous Girls by Lucy Hale</li>
<li>Glory by Jean-Michel Jarre and M83</li>
<li>Fight Song by Rachel Platten</li>
<li>All of the Stars by Ed Sheeran</li>
</ul>
<div>
I'm especially excited by this week's list, because not only did I stumble across Delta Goodrems new song, but I finally got around to listening to <gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="c3ea1dd1-4192-4598-b35e-a2b90c8bdd8e" id="3daf85c3-db22-47dc-a145-e1cb03e84f4e">Lucy Hale's full album</gs>. She's been one of my favorite actresses for a while now, and ever since watching Nashville, I've been getting into <gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="a35edc8e-6b6e-4658-91da-dfa331de74b7" id="f83aac39-959c-42e2-aeba-9bf084b3a608">country</gs> more and more. I loved her album, and the track I chose was my absolute favorite.</div>
<div>
