Burgess’ Buff Blokes 2017

I love December. It’s when everyone reflects on their favourite things of the year. I like to take this time to look through my saved photos and see which famous lads I’ve been swooning over for the past 12 months. Yep, #BurgessBuffBlokes is BACK for 2017, and it has been tough.

I’ve taken a leaf out of Dua Lipa’s book, and decided to give myself some rules.

1- In order to be featured, they must have done something this year.
2- Only 3 men from my 2016 list could make it again in 2017!

Like last year, I have put a LOT of thought into this…probably a little too much. But here we have my list of 25, and you might want to take a seat to read it, because swooning is inevitable.

Here we go…

On Sunday 10th December, Manchester singer/songwriter Gemma Moon gave us an early Christmas present in the form of her first single ‘Avalanche’, and I have had it on repeat!

I decided to catch up with Gemma to find out more about her music, writing, and of course, her new single!

NOVEMBER FAVOURITES

I don’t know about you, but I can’t get over how quickly this year has gone and now we’re in December! I managed to get on top of my Christmas shopping early this year, and was finished by pretty much the middle of November.

Whilst I was out looking for presents, OBVIOUSLY I managed to find some treats to buy for myself…

Conquering My Fear With CBT

We all have things that we don’t like, things that we’re frightened of. Mine is spiders. Over the past few years my fear of them was getting worse, and it was beginning to have an effect on my health. Whenever I came face to face with a spider in my house I’d cry hysterically, have a panic attack, and usually throw up. I couldn’t even bare to be left in the house alone in case one would appear.

Over the past decade the Marvel Cinematic Universe has expanded phenomenally, producing 17 fantastic films to date. With the release of the latest installment in the MCU this week, Thor: Ragnarok, I decided to basically torture myself into ranking all 17 films (so far) from worst to best.

*WARNING: May be slight spoilers ahead, but nothing too drastic…

Here goes…

My Autumn To-Do List!

Autumn is my favourite season, and it’s finally here once again!

I love watching the leaves fall, taking strolls through parks, indulging in hot chocolates, having cosy nights in, being surrounded by warm reds, oranges and browns…it makes me so happy. There’s just something about the season that calms me and puts me in the best of moods.

I want to embrace the season as best as I can and really make the most of the coming months, so I’ve decided to create an autumn to-do/bucket list!

10 Years Of Gossip Girl : The Men!

So just to recap, it’s a DECADE since Gossip Girl began and because it’s my favourite show, I decided to do a series of blog posts dedicated to it! For my first I put together my top 10 episodes, which was ridiculously hard, and you can read that here.

Anyone who has seen the show will know that it is full of SNACKS, so I decided that I’d put together my definitive ranking of the men of GG! Now there are quite a few male characters, so I set myself a rule: they MUST have been in at least 10 episodes of the show. That means we’ve at least had the chance to get some decent form of storyline out of them enough to care and make a decision whether we rate or hate them!

10 Years of Gossip Girl: Top 10 Episodes

Gossip Girl here, your one and only source into the scandalous lives of Manhattans elite…

It’s been a decade since the show began, and I still get shivers when I hear that line. Gossip Girl took over my life as a teen, and I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one. I mean, I say as a teen but I’ve never really gotten over it. I’ve re-watched the series in full every year since it finished, sometimes more than once. I go through phases of dressing like Blair Waldorf, I daydream about what it would be like to live on the Upper East Side, aaand… I fall in love with Chuck Bass every. Single. Time.
