Chantal's Hollywood Adventures

Hello my lovely readers,  So, the other day I was with my best friend and her fiancé and we were talking about the difference between dating in Los Angeles and dating in Britain. Whilst spending the last year in LA I had a bit of a whirlwind in the dating department and realised that many of my dates were misconceived by what dating a British girl means. Now really it shouldn't make a difference where you're from right? but, from my experiences and from many of my British friends, there definitely seems to be different rules and ideas on what it means to date a Brit.  Here I've written a little fun blog on 11 tips to consider before you go out into the big wide world and date a British woman. Enjoy :) 1. Don't make fun/mimic her accent. As I've learnt from dating in LA, it's not fun when your date spends the whole night mimicking your accent because 'it sounds funny and posh' . Please stop, we've heard it all before, its not...

Hey Guys,  I hope everyone is ready for a great sunny weekend (unless your in somewhere like England because it will probably be raining, sorry) I know that I am.  I can't believe I finished school now over three weeks ago, it's gone so fast but I've enjoyed every minute of it. I'm currently sitting in a little coffee shop with my passion fruit ice tea whilst I reminisce to myself about all the great memories I've made over the past year here in LA.  Looking back on my life from when I was in England to now I cant believe how much my life has changed. People warned me before I moved to LA that I would come back a completely different person and I always thought to myself, can people really change to that extreme, but this year in LA has proved to me that the experiences you go through can impact your life drastically and change you as a person. I have learnt so many lessons out here but the one that has really stuck with me is remembering that everyone in life...

Hey guys, I hope you are all having a lovely weekend and enjoying the sun (well if your in California if not then I hope you enjoy whatever weather you are having), I can't quite say the same about my own right now.  If you have read any of my previous blogs you would have seen how crazy my life has been recently and how my dating adventures have been a complete rollercoaster. But Lucky for me it just got whole lot messier. This isn't a hate blog by any means but just another one of my crazy adventure out here in LA.  So like I said in my previous blog I was dating this actor who at the time I really thought liked me. We hit it off really well and we both spoke about personal things and I specifically made clear that I was not looking for any hook ups or anything like that. One evening when we went out I found out that he was dating other girls and although we hadn't really discussed weather we were official or not I was still very shocked and upset. We continue...

Hey guys,  So, here's to another dating adventure of mine. After everything that had happened previously with my other dating situations I was finally ready to try a casual date again. I wasn't too sure if it was the right thing to do but I felt I should at least go and see and maybe it would take my mind off things. So, on Sunday night I met this guy for a day, he also happened to be an actor (I know what you're thinking, another actor) but he seemed quite sweet so I thought why not. He picked me up at 6.45pm to go for dinner and an improv show and like a gentleman he opened the car door for me, which is something I personally appreciate. We then drove to Korea Town to go to a small Korean restaurant.  The conversation was flowing well at first, but then it seemed to take a weird path when we began talking about our personal lives, ex's and what we wanted out of life. I felt this was all a little intense for a first date but I guess it made a change to most dates I...
