march favourites 2017

March is coming to an end, and Spring is finally beginning. So, here's my March Favourites to celebrate these events, enjoy!

YOUTUBE

Despite knowing of Doddie (doddleoddle) for many years before this point, even being subscribed for a large proportion of this time, I've never really fully indulged into her YouTube channels. However, sometime this month at 1am, I found myself watching video after video on her vlogging channel (doddlevloggle) and replaying her covers and her own songs, continuously throughout this entire month. She's the sweetest person to watch and I love her content and how she portrays herself massively. She gives the most loveliest vibe when watching and she's honestly someone I am massively inspired by. She's super talented and her channels are certainly must needs for anyone who enjoys watching YouTubers/Vloggers.

MUSIC

I have played Ed Sheeran's new album non-stop this month. I love every song on the album, and seem to know near enough all of the lyrics to each of them. I have been a huge fan of Ed Sheeran since late 2010, which seems insane that I've listened to him for nearly 7 years, but he is definitely one of my favourite artists out there. My favourite song on the album seems to be continuously changing the more I listen, but as of right now, my two favourites (I can't chose one), is 'Eraser' and 'What Do I Know?', although 'Barcelona' and 'Bibia Be Ye Ye' are the two songs I can't help but dance to. I'm sure you've heard at least one of his new songs, as he dominated the charts this month, however, listening to the album is something I'd massively recommend, because there is definitely a song for everyone. I listen to the album mainly on Spotify, but the entire album is found everywhere, including his YouTube channel, 'Ed Sheeran'.

BLOGGERS

This month, a very special friend of mine started her own blog. We have very similar writing types, and almost identical interests, however, a few differences are still there. Her blog is going to be a rather informative blog, including self-written articles, reviews, insights and tips on several things, including an aspiration to a vegan lifestyle, her view on spirituality and some DIY and 'how to' posts! She's the loveliest person, which is definitely transmitted through her writing and it'd mean a lot if you all would check out her blog! Her name is Sophie and her link is http://liljourno.weebly.com/. Go give her some love because she's the cutest little one and I'm proud to call her my friend.

BOOKS/FILMS

I am, of course, extremely conscious to the fact that I have mentioned the Harry Potter book series too many times in the little amount of posts I have written, however, I finally completed the series this month, and I loved it so much. Afterwards, I seemed to miss it and found myself re-watching the films. I think it's such a brilliant series and I know that it is based for young teens, but revisiting your childhood is never an issue. I'd massively recommend the books and/or the movies to everyone and if you haven't watched them, it is unlikely that you won't enjoy them, however, if you don't, I'm sorry. You're missing out on a whole lot of magical happiness. And Rupert Grint.

In correlation with Harry Potter, I revisited possibly one of my favourite films, ever this month. 'What If', starring Daniel Radcliffe, has been a favourite of mine for a few since a good friend of mine in the past suggested it to me. It's a classic romance, where the boy has his heartbroken in the past and falls in love with another girl who, of course, has a boyfriend. Despite the synopsis being cheesy and all, I do love Romance films, probably because they're my favourite films to watch with my Mum, but I'd massively recommend the film for anyone who wants to watch an uplifting, lovely romance.

ONE LAST THING

Lastly, as it is Mother's Day today, I wanted to include my Mum. Of course, in comparison to Harry Potter and Ed Sheeran's album, she is slightly more of a favourite of mine. My mum is possibly one of the biggest inspirations to me and she has had the biggest influence on me as a person. She is the source behind my compassion, kindness and determination and I'm massively grateful for that. She is my best friend, and I'd be massively lost without her. She helps me through the hardest of times and even though I find myself being rather distant sometimes, I always know she'll be there. I love my mum entirely, and she deserves the entire world, in which I am planning to give to her in the future (when I'm rich and famous, of course). I hope you had the best day today Mum (you best be reading), and always know that you'll be my best friend for eternity. Looooove you xxx
