I have decided to start doing monthly non-bookish favourites. I think it is fun to talk about things other than books on this blog every once in awhile, and I figured this was a great way to do it! I will talk about all of the movies, TV shows, music, food, etc I loved during the month.
Avengers: Endgame
I did not see a lot of movies this month, though there are a few Netflix original movies I would love to get to in May. The one movie that I did see was absolutely EPIC! It was emotional, thrilling, and hilarious- everything I was hoping for and more. I do have a few gripes with it but do not want to get in to spoilers. The problems I did have many others have touched on in their reviews. That said, I thought the movie was great and I have not had an experience like that in a movie theatre in quite some time- everyone was cheering, crying. laughing, fist pumping etc… so fun!
The Crown
I rewatched both seasons of The Crown and it was like I was watching it for the first time- there was so much that I had forgotten. The show is brilliant and I can not believe the attention to detail. The acting is superb and, while I am sad that the same actors will not be in the next season, I can not wait to see Olivia Coleman as Queen Elizabeth. She is going to kill it!
Amazing Race
I have always loved Amazing Race, but this season is particularly fun! The contestants are all from either old seasons of the show or from Survivor and Big Brother. There are some people on this season who I absolute adore, including Team Fun and Janelle and Britney. It is interesting to see how contestants from other reality shows handle the race.
Be Alright- Dean Lewis
I have really been loving Dean Lewis lately. His voice is gorgeous. I go back and forth on which of his songs is my favourite but this month it was definitely Be Alright. It is kind of a sad song but I think it will hit home with a lot of people.
I Guess I Just Feel Like- John Mayer
If you ask me who my favourite singer is I will tell you it is John Mayer- always has been and probably always will be. His latest single sounds a lot like his old stuff which I just love. I love that the song has a message while also being catchy.
Starbucks, Unsweetened Iced Coffee
I found this Starbucks Iced Coffee at Costco and it has been a game changer. I prefer iced coffee over hot coffee, but it can be a pain to make at home. Now I just pour myself a glass, add some cream and I am good to go. So delicious and refreshing!
Smashbox- Photo Edit Eye Shadow Trio
How adorable is this packaging? It is supposed to look like a camera lens! The colours do not look that exciting but trust me they are beautiful on the eye. I adore that look that I can create with these three shades and it has become a go to look throughout the month of April!
Lush Bath Oils
I was gifted a few bath oils for Easter and I love them! I actually think that I prefer them to bath bombs. They feel so luxurious and leave your skin feeling so soft. The ones that I have tried have all smelled delicious. I only have a couple left so I am savouring them (they are not cheap)!
I love The Crown and now you’ve got me thinking about watching the first two seasons again💜
It’s so good! I think I appreciated it even more when rewatching it.
I’m honestly not a huge Marvel fan, as I mostly just watch them because my husband forces me, but I loved Endgame. It was so cool to see years of movies culminate in something so epic.
So glad you enjoy it! It could have been really terrible but they nailed it.
Funny you mentioned The Amazing Race because I haven’t watched it since the first season but I am a HUGE(!) Survivor fan so I’m watching this season! I don’t even love any of the Survivor contestants lol though I suppose I favor Eliza and Corinne. Mainly I’m just rooting for that guy who talks about his cat all the time.
Hahah I love that team too! I’m not really in to the survivor contestants either, which sucks because it’s one of my favourites shows.
Right?? Who was in charge of casting this shit?? Chris and Bret of all people?! Also I HATE Rupert and Laura but seeing them fail so miserably has been entertaining, I will admit. Them wandering in the park for hours in the first ep had me in tears.
I loved that! They were looking for a hidden immunity idol Hahaha. I didn’t even remember who Chris and Brett were!
They were on Millennials vs. Gen X and I HATED THEM. And they’re just boring so far in TAR!
Yeah they do not seem to be getting much air time. And I’m okay with that!
Iced coffee is such a pain to make at home and I still haven’t quite mastered a way that I really like. I’ve found one way using instant that’s the best I’ve tried so far but making actual cold brew has never quite gone right for me. I want to try that one!!
100000000% yes to The Crown. Such a good show!
It really is!
I started ‘The Crown’ and had to drop it for some reason. But, I did like whatever much I saw!
I hope you get the chance to continue. It only gets better!
End Game was phenomenal … but I still feel weird about it … which I would discuss but I’m nervous I might spoil something ha-ha!
Oh my gosh … I love Dean Lewis! “7 Minutes” is my favourite right now. <3
Yup Thors storyline I wasn’t happy with!
All his songs are amazing. Such a wonderful voice!
Yeah … I wasn’t too please either. I also don’t know how I feel about Tony’s story line … or Black Widow’s … but I actually did enjoy Captain’s!
I know eh?? My friend introduced me to his music, to which I’m so grateful for <3
Ah the Captain’s storyline was great. Brought tears to my eyes. So pleased for him!
Me too!!! I was so happy with it … sad but happy 🙂
I still need to watch End Game! I’ve been so focused on Game of Thrones that I completely neglected all other new releases.
I am so behind on GOT. I feel so left out!!
Catch up!!!!! You have to!!!
(Even my boyfriend’s mom just binged all seasons of GoT to catch up with us and his dad. It’s a family series over here 😀 )
Ah that’s so fun!
I can’t wait for the next season of the Crown! Olivia Colman and Helena Bonham Carter. I do worry a little because I loved Matt Smith so much as Phillip and I’m not big on Menzies anyway but I’m hopeful he can change my mind 🙂
Endgame was fantastic!
Lush products are great, I use their shampoo and conditioner bars to help reduce plastic waste.
I really enjoy their shampoo bars as well!
So glad endgame was epic!!
It truly was!
Love this post
Thanks!
