Just like the rest of this world I am OBSESSED with Netflix... I think its getting unhealthy. Either way I have binge watched my way through many shows, and I thought I would share my favourite 5 on here! Let me know down below what your favourite shows to watch on Netflix are! 

BTW am I the only person who couldn't get into Gilmore Girls? I watched several seasons, but I just couldn't get into it... I don't know why, it just wasn't for me. I don't know a single person who doesn't like it though, am I just missing something? Let me know! Anyway onto the top 5!

Hustle Hard Girl,

I love reading, especially during the summer time, when I can lay on the beach with a cold drink in hand. However during the school year I struggle to find the time with school work, youtube and now blogging, ontop of other activities like photography and dancing. However recently I have picked up a few new books and have been loving them! 

The type of books I am into are more realistic fiction, however recently I have found myself picking up more self help books. Addictive to say the least. So those are the two categories of books I am the most into. Although I was forced to read a biography for an English project, Unbearable Lightness, by Portia De Rossi, and it actually wasn't so bad...

1. Everything, Everything By Nicola Yoon - Literally one of THE BEST books I have ever read. I bought it while I was in Hawaii (after finishing another ridiculously good book) and read it in a day flat. Ooops. There is also a film based on the book, but it is no where near as good. Definitely read the book first! It was so captivating, and I could not put this one down. I don't want to give any spoilers, so Ill give a quick overview. It is about a girl, Maddie, who is allergic to the world. The only friends she has are online, and her nurse. She lives with her mum, who does everything possible to keep her safe. Maddie has not been outside in over a decade, she is only 17. However her whole world changes when a boy moves in next door. He wins over her heart, but she suffers for it. I won't say anymore as I don't want to give it away, but seriously. READ IT.
Everything Everything - Nicola Yoon

2. The Sun is Also a Star By Nicola Yoon - The second book ever written by Nicola Yoon, and just as good. Everything Everything will always be my favourite, but this one is a really good read too! When I was in Hawaii last summer I bought one book with me (don't ask why, a moment of weakness perhaps?) and read it within the first day or so. I then strolled down to the nearest Barnes and Noble, and picked up Everything Everything. Then I finished reading that. The next day I went back down to the book shop and picked up two more books. This one, and my next favourite. I read this book in a day, which is the best decision I ever made, and Ill tell you why in a minute. This book is about a girl and boy, with different beliefs. They try to change each others way of thinking. Now what I did not realize, was that this whole book is one day. From morning to night when the book finishes, it is based on a 24 hour period. Literally this book is so good, and reading it in a day is a must!

3. The One Memory of Flora Banks By Emily Barr - This book made me fall in love with the name Flora, don't ask why, it is just literally my favourite name. This was the second book I picked up in Hawaii, as I mentioned above, and I seriously loved it. It is about a girl, Flora, who has short term memory loss. She remembers everything up until her accident, but anything after that gets lost. Her parents are extremely protective of her, until they have to go somewhere. I won't say anything else as I don't want to give it away, but I fell in love with this book, and it is my second favourite after Everything Everything!

4. Wild Like Me By Louise Pentland - This was the one book I bought to Hawaii with me! Now don't get me wrong, I love Louise (AKA Sprinkleofglitter), but that is not why I bought this book. I actually wasn't going to get it, until she started talking about it in a video on her youtube channel. It was then that it sounded like a seriously good book I had to get my hands on. For right reasons too. Throughout Wild Like Me you can really feel Louise in the book. It is about a single mum called Robin Wilde, and her daughter Lila. Robin goes through many ups and downs, and the story is about how she overcomes all her life problems, and literally slays life. Ill leave it there, but this book is definitely one of my favourites!

5. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck By Mark Manson - Now this is the self help book I was talking about. I have no clue who the author is, but he seems to be a fellow blogger. His humour in the book is just like mine, and he is not afraid to tell you the truth. Literally a must read if you are interested in this sort of book. My mum got this book for Christmas, but while she was out I stole it and started reading it myself. I have now finished the book, and really loved it! It honestly changed my way of thinking, and how I see the world and our lives. I want to get some more books like this, but this one was a great start! Literally amazing!

I recently bought the self help book You're a Badass, which was recommended by my dance teacher, and so far SO GOOD. I wish I had more time throughout the year to read, but unfortunately school takes up too much time. When I do start reading though I find it difficult to stop! Feel free to share your favourite books down below :)

Hustle Hard Girl,

Hey guys!

I have seen a lot of these posts floating around, and I don't know if I have missed something in the blogging world, or what, but this seems to be a thing (?). I have seen both 5/10 things I love Sunday/Saturday (I have also seen 5 links I love etc.) So I thought I would do one too. I constantly have so many loves, that change and evolve through the months, so I thought this would be perfect!

1. Scrunchies - Ah I don't know why (a blast from the past perhaps?) but I have been loving scrunchies, for years actually. When I had really long hair last year, I use to live in scrunchies. My hair was so heavy it hurt to wear it in a normal elastic. In textiles I started making my own though, and now my favourite scrunchies are ones I have made myself. Although the first one I made, I accidentally left in the spa (damnit that was my favourite). I then left my second favourite at dance over Christmas break, thank the lord dancers don't steal scrunchies! 

2. Saje Diffuser - This is literally my most favourite thing in the world at the moment. Since it is the beginning of a new semester, life has been very stressful and anxiety ridden lately. I just stick this on before bed, pop in some "stress relief" oil, and hey presto. Aromatherapy-the stress away!

3. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck By Mark Manson - This is the first self-help book I have ever read, and I love it! Seriously his sense of humour, and straight to the point personality is amazing! Love, love LOVE.

4. Hot Chocolate - Okay so I have always loved hot chocolate, but in this bitter cold weather I love it that little bit more. My current favourite is the "Winter Spice" from Hotel Chocolat!

5. Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream - What can I say? Everyone needs a bit of ice cream in their life. My favourite is the half baked! I swear I could just eat a whole tub in one sitting. But I won't...
