STAR WARS THE FORCE AWAKENS TRAILER BREAKDOWN



Hey hey lovely people

So, the final trailer for Star Wars The Force Awakens just dropped tonight after Monday night football. 

For an non-sporty Brit like me, sitting through half an hour of American Football on a poor live stream wasn't the most exciting moment of my life, but oh SO WORTH IT to see the new Star Wars trailer live (And yes, I did cry).




Now, a lot of information was packed into this this trailer, so let's dive right into it, scene by scene:


So the trailer starts with Rey in her scavenger attire, opening into some piece of machinery, most

NEW STAR WARS SECRET?! - Star Wars The Force Awakens Poster Release

So the final film poster for the highly anticipated Star Wars: The Force Awakens was released today, and the Internet basically exploded (Sorry Alderaan).

10 Minute Meals: (Un)Healthy Salad

Hey hey lovely people!



The best thing about blogging again after a major blogging drought (sorry about that by the way) is having what I'm now referring to as bloggers eye.

Seriously, even the smallest things now make me think 'You know what, this could totally be a post'.

Well, that's what happened today.

Let's set the scene:

Picture a wild, hungry Jade, stepping into the kitchen in anticipation of a quick yet super yummy lunch.

Now, I've had an on-off cold for about three weeks now, so I wanted something healthy, in the desperate hope that I'll be able to breathe through my nose again. One issue though: ain't nobody got time to compromise on yumminess!

Ladies and gentleman, I present the 10 minute (un)healthy salad!


Ingredients are:

Excited for my period?! - Pink Parcel Review

Hey hey lovely people! 


It's so nice to be back and blogging!




PERIODS!

Okay, now that we've got that out of the way, let's get into it!

I'm a complete sucker for online subscription boxes. I'm gonna try and keep my dignity by not naming how many I'm actually signed up to. Well, apart from one!

Recently I subscribed to Pink Parcel, a monthly subscription box for that time of the month.



So signing up was simple enough.

You let them know the date of your last period and what products you'd prefer to have. They stock so

The Jadelist: SEP 15




Hey hey lovely people

Wake me up when September ends. Literally, where have I been all this month?!

Now we've got that cliché out of the way, let's talk about my ten favourite songs for the month of September.

Now during September, I get what I like to call 'self diagnosed S.A.D'.

Seriously, as soon as I know that Autumn has hit, when the nights come in earlier and the sun doesn't rise until late, I get super upset over losing summer, or at least the six days of sun that we had. Shout out to the not so Great British weather.

Why am I telling you this? Well, I believe that this has genuinely impacted my music choices this month. Have a look back at last months Jadelist and let me know if you notice a difference.

We're also having a little change around with Jadelist this time. I couldn't find original versions of some of these songs on YouTube, so I bit the bullet and decided to use Spotify instead.

The whole playlist will be available at the end of the post for you to follow or to listen to again.

Without further ado, here's the September Jadelist.

Enjoy!

Hoppípolla by Sigur Rós



Well, I'd be surprised if you didn't know this song.

Let's face it, it's pretty iconic, or at least it is if you're a Brit. This song is used at so many award ceremonies or some kind of epic event.

Now for the real question: how many of you actually knew what it was called?

Hands up, I admit that it wasn't until a month ago when I heard it on TV and finally had the opportunity to shazam it that I actually knew what it was called.

Funnily enough, after listening to this on repeat a fair few times, it struck me that it reminded me of Go Do by Jonsi.

Yeah, little did I know that Jonsi is actually a member of Sigur Rós. Fact of the day here guys.

If you weren't personally moved by this song then I'm afraid that I may have to disown you.

Do You Realize?? by The Flaming Lips





Now, hear me out!

The first time I heard this song, I never realised how weird it can sound, along with the lyrics too.

I was scrolling through Vine one day when I heard it in a clip. Shout out to the new music feature on
