LA Dating Nightmares- What happens when you tell a guy you're British

Hey guys, I hope you're all having a great and not still feeling the Monday blues. After sharing my last dating adventures with you all, I have decided to share another little dating story with you. So, here goes. On Halloween last year, I went to a Frat party on USC Frat row and met this Persian guy who I spent most of the night chatting to. He seemed like a nice guy and was in his last year majoring in business. I should have probably seen the signs from the beginning as his costume was a shirtless Channing Tatum from Magic Mike, but we got along quite well and after all it was Hall0ween. I could see that he had a little bit of arrogance about him but it was nothing that I couldn't handle. After the Frat party, we spoke for about a week before he asked me out on a date. He picked me up from my apartment and we drove to a bar in downtown LA. Whilst on our drive he starts off the conversation by saying "so...your’e one of those Brits ain't you?", &q

Dating in LA

Hello my lovely readers, Today,  I am going to write about something a little different. I have decided to give a little dating advice based on an experience I had last weekend. As part of my new year's resolutions I decided to start a weekend fun-day. Since being here I haven't really been able to explore much of LA because I am always too busy doing school work or learning lines, and it's even more difficult when I don't have a car here (probably the thing I miss the most my poor little car, George Bush- and yes, this isn't a joke, my car is actually called George Bush). Every time I speak to my family and friends back in England they are always asking me what exciting thing I've been up to on the weekend, and I usually either say nothing or try and make up an exciting adventure that usually isn't even exciting at all.

Hey guys and girls,  First of all I hope everyone had a lovely winter break and happy new year to you all. I'm excited to be writing my new post of 2016.  Here goes for my first post of the new year. Today I have decided to write a review on the new film Joy written and directed by David O Russell.  The film is set in late 1980s to early 1990s and follows the story of a divorced woman named Joy who rises to fame and becomes a self made millionaire  after inventing a mop that would change everything. Joy is a powerful woman and the film takes us through all the failures and struggles of her life before she makes her fortune. The film has a very impressive cast with actress Jennifer Lawrence playing the lead role of Joy, Robert De Niro playing the role of Rudy, Isabella Rossellini as Trudy and Bradley Cooper as Neil Walker.  I went to watch this film in Novato, California for a family night out with my aunt, uncle, cousin and my mom who is visiting from London.
