My New years resolution UPDATE

Hi Guys, 

One of my new years resolutions was to improve myself and this included me feeling better about myself and as part of this i have re started my diet more seriously as i hate the way i look with my weight. I am sorry that this is not a positive blog post but i feel like i should be honest with you my audience so i have decided to start eating healthier as i used to but i have been eating some rubbish recently because i have not been my usual bubbly self due to some personal things in my life which some of you may know. But i have today started eating healthier for lunch i had Turkey strips, Green Beans , Broccoli and also some mozzarella which was so filling and tasty. I am so happy when i am dieting and know that i am eating healthier. For anyone who is interested in what i am using for my diet i am using MyFitnessPal app and also for the exercising/ working out side of it i am using SWORKIT app as i am not a fan of going to a physical gym as not confident enough to go to the gym so i am doing it in the comfort of my own home. These apps were recommended by a friend and family member who has used them and has had success from the apps. I have already lost some weight and i have only been doing the diet for like two days so far this year but i lost a bit weight last year and i am more committed to keeping up with this diet and becoming healthier i also want to have more strength when exercises. 

What i find helps is listening to your favourite music. For example i listened to my Joseph CD as it is one of my favourite musicals and it includes Joe McElderry who for those of you that do not know i am a massive fan of his. 


Thank you so much for all the support and i am also going to try and keep up with posting on here regularly. Thank you so much for reading this blog. 


Hope you having a great weekend and remember keep being positive

VIP Treatment at Warner Brothers Studios In London

Hi everyone, Sorry i have not been very active on here recently i have been ill but this blog i hope will be exciting. I also have make a vlog from the day at Warner Brothers studio London where we were treated like VIPs. For example, a member of staff treated my brother like a VIP as he was given a personal tour with a lovely member of Staff Jade Starr and was given the VIP experience and saw items that are only brought out for celebrities and are also kept in a safe other than when there are celebrities are visiting the tour. My vlog link    is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9ftyZfEy-g 

It was my brother's first time and my second time to Harry Potter Studios London and i was with my brother and my dad as well. We had such a great experience going round the studios especially entering the great hall as this is an exciting moment for everyone especially a big fan like my brother is. I loved that when we visited that it was decorated with Christmas decorations and it was decorated with snow on the Hogwarts buildings. I would love to thank the staff at Warner Brothers studio in London especially Jade Starr,Angelique,Mason,Jack M,Sophie. They gave us such a great experience that we will never forget  especially my brother who is a mega fan of Harry Potter. He had his first taste of the Famous Butterbeer and he absolutely loved the taste of Butterbeer which i would definitely recommend trying butterbeer and definitely going to visit the Warner Brothers Studio in London as it is an absolutely amazing experience. i would definitely recommend experiencing the magic you experience at Warner Brothers studio,London.

I hope you enjoy the photos i took while i was at Warner Brothers Studio in London. My vlog is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9ftyZfEy-g&t=326s which goes with this blog post

Receiving my Secret Santa Gift

 Hi Guys,

I am so sorry that i have not been able to upload blogs for a while but Happy New year everyone and this post is finally up and i have also got an vlog upload so that you can see when i opened the box and is an unboxing video. I absolutely loved my secret Santa gift from a fellow blogger and i am going to leave a link underneath this post.

So i absolutely loved the box which you can see in the photo and it had some cute designs on the box which i absolutely loved. I could not wait to open it i filmed the video and took the photos when i received it as i love surprizes but i could not wait to open the cute box. My secret Santa was a blogger called Just Creative Julia . Her Twitter username is @J_CreativeJulia and her blog is justcreativejulia.co.uk be sure to check out her blog as it is such a lovely blog and there is also a vlog to go with this.

I absolutely loved the way it was wrapped it was beautifully wrapped by Julia i am so rubbish at wrapping presents so i am quite jealous about her present wrapping skills and also she put so much thought into how it was wrapped you could tell from opening it and i love that it was wrapped round in a string and had a homemade label with a beautiful leaf on it. Julia had a christmas card inside the box to introduce herself which included her social links and the letter was such a lovely touch as it was so well written and lovely. As part of the secret santa we had to make a homemade gift and for my secret santa gift to someone i made a card with keep calm and carry on blogging and Julia's homemade gift to me was a gorgeous mug with hand drawn drawing on which are adorable and i use the cup daily as it is such a gorgeous cup and funnily enough i am having a drink from it as i am writing this blog post. I especially love the quote on the mug as it is such an INSPIRATION quote. I absolutely loved the presents that i got in the secret santa as i have always wanted lipsmackers and i have been using them so much especially as it is winter to keep my lips hydrated and one was a cherry coca cola which smelt amazing and like the real thing and the other was a feast which is a lovely ice cream and also i got a gorgeous lipgloss in a lovely red shade which is gorgeous.

 I am so thankful for my secret santa gift as they were right up my street and they were gorgeous.

Interview with Dale Adams

Hi All,

Hope you enjoy this interview with Dale Adams.


Rachel(Me): Hi Dale, The first question is  what inspired you to become an actor?

Dale : My first show. I was cast when I was 9 in a Christmas production of the wizard of oz. I hasn't been on stage before then, but it came so naturally to me. That's when I knew I belonged on the stage. It's funny, I've just recently finished playing opposite one of the principle characters in that production as a professional myself.

Rachel: Oh that sounds brilliant so would you say you have a natural talent for acting

Dale: Saying I was naturally talented would make me sound egotistical. I would say everyone is born in life with something that they have a talent for, some people find it and some people don't. I had to train very hard to get where I am today

Rachel: Yeah you do have to do some training to perfect your talent and to prepare you for the job of being an actor such auditions. What would be your top tip going into an audition ?

Dale: When you step into that room, act like you already have the job and are showing them what you've been working on for the show (hypothetically of course). It strips back all the stigmas attached to auditioning and puts you as an actor in the right frame of mind. I have a lot of friends who are on the other side of the audition room and they say that they hire people who are ready to work and give something unique and special to a part. ALSO NEVER FORGET you are auditioning the panel just as much as they are auditioning you. You need to know if you can work with them as well.

Rachel: That's great advice

The next question is If you could do you dream role what would it be and why?

Dale: The Phantom! In the Phantom of the Opera. It's been a dream role since I was a teenager. I love the show and everything about it. I'd love to be the Phantom as he's such an iconic part and I'd love to bring a new and fresh spin to him. Without going into too much detail, we as an audience forget that he is a psychopath because we feel sorry for him. I'd like to find a light and shade in his pain and bring a further chilling element to the "Opera Ghost"

Rachel: Oh that sounds like such a great spin on the phantom

That leads quite nicely onto the next question which is what is your favorites musical ?

Dale: My favourite? Ahhh that's such a hard question. The Wizard of Oz will always have a place in my heart, because it was my first show. I went to go and see it three times when it was in the West End a couple of years ago. Since I finished playing Anthony in Sweeney Todd I've really been getting knee deep in Sondheim musicals. I really love the score to "Sunday in the Park with George".

Rachel: Aww I have to say I do remember singing in the choir we were in together singing Sunday from Sunday in the park with George

Dale: Such a beautiful finale, brings a tear to my eye!

Rachel: Aww did someone first inspire you to become actor if so who and why did they inspire you to be an actor ?

Dale :I did a summer stage experience of We Will Rock You when I was 15. I played the lead and the director could see my interest in persuing acting as a career. He told me about Arts Educational Schools, London where he trained and where, three years on, I trained. I owe a lot to him as he taught me how to believe in myself

Rachel: Aww that's such a lovely story. This question I would be so interested to hear your response to and the question is if you could perform on stage with one person it can be anyone who would it be and why?

Dale :Neil Patrick Harris!! He's my idol. He's achieved so much in his career and I would die a happy man if I had a chance to share the stage with such a talented performer.

Rachel: Aww yeah he's such a great actor I loved him in the show how I met your mother.That's a great choice

Who have you had the pleasure of working with on stage that you never thought you would work with?

Dale: When I sang alongside Michael Ball on Friday Night is Music Night (BBC Radio 2) I couldn't quite comprehend what was going on. Michael was always a celebrity in my eyes and having the chance to work with him felt like I was dreaming. Although in recent years I've grown rather immune to working with "names". We're all actors trying to earn a living. One big happy family.

Rachel:Aww very true and Michael ball sounds so lovely.

Next question is Do you have any performances coming up and if you do what are they for?

Dale : A couple of things lined up. I'm flying out to Dubai next week to start rehearsals for Peter Pan, which runs from December 20th-27th. Then in March 2017 I'll be making my London debut as Steve in the new musical "Adam & Eve... and Steve?" at the Kings Head Theatre from the 21st.

Rachel : Oh sound so exciting I will definitely have to try to come to the one in London as I saw the reviews and they sounded so good

And Dubai how exciting. Do you enjoy travelling as part of being an actor?

Dale: I do. It's nice to be paid to see the world, but it's no different to any other acting job. You just tend to come back with a tan.

Rachel: Aww that's a benefit then. Where has you travelled to for a role ?

Dale: Bahrains been the only other exotic one. I was a Frankie Valle tribute for 6 months in Mallorca, but I don't class the Spanish isles as exotic. Warmer than the UK however.

Rachel: Oh that's good then that sounds so great and it's lovely to travel

I was wondering how you manage your vlogging and your acting? Do you have to compromise?

Dale: Well I only vlog once a week, which isn't too much trouble to set time aside for. There was once a time when I was a couple of weeks ahead of myself, just incase I got busy. I have been very busy recently and haven't managed to get back on top of them yet.

Rachel: I know the feeling very well as I am doing vlogmas and I am blogger as well so yeah.But that's good that you can do both

Talking about vlogging from your perspective what would one piece of advice be for anyone that wants to start vlogging ?

Dale: Don't be afraid of the camera, just be yourself and share as much as you can. Most importantly... have fun. It's not about subscribers and likes, it's about enjoying yourself. That's what people want to see in a Youtuber.

Rachel: Yeah that's definitely a great piece of advice for wanting to be a vlogger.

And the final question is what is your YouTube channel so that anyone who would like to watch your vlogs that you do once a week can do and can also subscribe

Dale:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2rYd3qnBl_XdXJREhQ-KSQ (Dale AdamsTM)

Rachel:Thank you so much for giving up your time to be interviewed and it's been an absolute pleasure to interview you and hope Peter Pan in Dubai goes well.

Dale:Thanks babe and be sure to check out my video tonight at 6(Thursday)

Rachel:I will definitely watch your video tonight which is Thursday

I absolutely loved interviewing Dale as he is a really good friend of mine and he is also a vlogger too. Dale was so great to interview and gave great advice. Hope you enjoy this interview and be sure to subscribe to him on Youtube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2rYd3qnBl_XdXJREhQ-KSQ (Dale AdamsTM) and if you are feeling nice also subscribe to me too on youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpCQB93NoFG_MxkWPIJx2NQ

Trying Argan Oil Products

Before using the Argan Oil Products 

Hi , I  thought i would try for the blog the argan oil products so i thought i would try using the argan oil Shampoo, Conditioner, Hair Mask and Hair Treatment.

I firstly used the Argan oil Shampoo when i first got in the shower after using my usual L'Oreal Elvive Pre Shampoo mask and the scent of the Argan Oil shampoo is a lovely scent of the shampoo and the shampoo felt amazing in my hair after i washed the shampoo out  of my hair.

Then i had to get out of the shower and i towel dried my hair to use the argan oil hair mask that hydrates your hair and you have to leave the hair mask on your hair for up to 10 minutes after putting it on your hair especially onto your roots so i set a timer on my phone for 10 minutes and then i got back into the shower to wash the hair mask out of my hair and then i added the Argan oil conditioner and oh my goodness it was such an amazing feeling it left on my hair. It felt so healthy and smooth. Then i towel dried the hair to put in the Hair Treatment that i always use the hair treatment as part of my everyday hair routine.

My review of these argan oil products is that they are affordable. I think they were about £1 a product and i would definitely recommend these products to all my family and friends as these products leave your hair feeling amazing and healthy and smooth and also hydrated.


Thank you so much for reading this blog and hope you enjoyed it
