Movies

<p>
  <h1>I watched every single James Bond movie<strong>.</strong> </h1>
  <h2>Yes<strong>.</strong> Every<strong>.</strong> Single<strong>.</strong> One<strong>.</strong> </h2>
So quarantine has got me losing my mind and I needed something to binge. A friend suggested going with all the James Bond movies. Great! I watched them when I was younger with my father (who is a serious Bond fan). So I was down, it was going to take lots of time and that’s exactly what I needed during quarantine. 
</p>
<p>Fun fact: There are 25 movies in total (including one that is not “technically” a Bond film but stars Sean Connery). So yes. I watched them all! It took me 2 long weeks and boy, was it ever an adventure. </p>
<p>I would not tell anyone to binge all 25 unless you  really REALLY want too, then that’s on you. </p>
<p>In this mag I am going to tell you the top 10 movies to watch (which FYI is still a shit ton of movies). </p>
<p>So read on for the low down :) </p>
<p>Enjoy!</p>
<p>Xx</p>

<h1>Sean Connery<strong>.</strong> </h1>
<h2>The <strong>original.</strong> </h2>
<p>So you can’t start a Bond marathon without the first movie: <strong>Dr. No</strong>, 1962. </p>
<p>This was Sean Connerys first real acting role. He was previously an extra, or muscle man on various shows before being cast as Bond. </p>
<p>As a warning, it is super racist and uses women as objects. If you look past all that it’s a great action movie that sets up so many aspects of Bond movies to come. Remember, it was filmed in 1962 (lots has changed since then, thank gosh!)</p>
<p>I would then proceed to watch two more of Sean’s movies as Bond: <strong>Goldfinger</strong>, 1964 and <strong>Diamonds are Forever</strong>, 1971. </p>
<p><strong>Goldfinger</strong> is an iconic movie, and so many scenes and aspects of it have been used in Bond movies since. It’s an important piece of James Bond cinematic history. You also can’t forget how absolutely catchy the theme song is! </p>
<p>Next would be <strong>Diamonds are Forever</strong> which was Sean’s final official movie as Bond. The story isn’t as enthralling and critics have said that Connery gave a subpar performance but I liked it. I find it particularly interesting that you can see how much has changed with the writing and the technology from his first movie. </p>
<p>As a warning I should let you know that I have skipped a few movies (and the train wreck that was <strong>On Her Majesty’s Secret Service</strong>, 1969). They had replaced Connery with <em>George Lazenby</em>, who was a great Bond but it truly doesn’t tie in to any of the other movies. </p>
<li>Watch Order:</li>
<ol>
  <li>Dr. No</li>
  <li>Goldfinger </li>
  <li>Diamonds are Forever </li>
</ol>

<h1>Roger Moore<strong>.</strong> </h1>
<h2>The heart throb<strong>.</strong> <strong>Don’t</strong> even @ me</h2>
<p>One of my favorite Bond’s was Roger Moore, I am not entirely sure why, but I feel like he was exactly what Bond was supposed to be. It also helped that the writing was better, and so were the props. </p>
<p>We have officially entered the 70s and now women are no longer objects but spies that help out 007. It is an upgrade, so I’ll take it. </p>
<p>What Roger Moore movies MUST you watch? <strong>The Spy Who Loved Me</strong>, 1977 and <strong>A View to a Kill</strong>, 1985. I feel like these two movies really show how charming he was as Bond and also have the best story lines (aka the most “believable”) </p>
<p><strong>The Spy Who Loved Me </strong>was one of my favorite films. It features a lady spy who was so headstrong and brave and I really respected her character. You also have the introduction of the classic muscleman Jaws, he’s in two movies and you couldn’t miss watching him! </p>
<p><strong>A View to a Kill </strong>was his final movie as a Bond, and I really felt like he left it in such a high note. You also have Christopher Walken as the villain (!!!) So obviously this made it on the list. </p>
<p>Watch list:</p>
<ol>The Spy Who Loved Me</ol>
<ol>A View to a Kill</ol>

<h1>Pierce Brosnan</h1>
<h2>Damn, <strong>he’s</strong> a daddy<strong>.</strong> </h2>

<p>The next James Bond in our list is of course <em>Pierce Brosnan</em> (you get thirsty just reading his name lol). </p>
<p>As a side note: in between <em>Roger Moore</em> and <em>Pierce Brosnan</em> there was <em>Timothy Dalton</em>. Dalton had two horrible movies, and I truly would not suggest anyone to watch them. Silly story line, horrible acting, they do not mesh with the franchise at all. </p>
<p>Okay! So diving right in, I would watch two of Brosnan’s movies: <strong>The World is not Enough</strong>, 1999 and <strong>Die Another Day</strong>, 2002. </p>
<p>These are Brosnan’s second last and last movies as Bond (in total he did 4). </p>
<p>Both of these movies are completely star studded with <em>Halle Berry</em>, <em>Denise Richards</em> and <em>Judy Dench</em> joining the cast. If you haven’t figured out already I love a strong female ensemble. </p>
<p>I feel like these two movies are a turning point for the Bond films, things are more serious and the story lines flow much more smoothly. I also enjoyed Brosnan as Bond for his slick humor that I think worked the best for all the Bonds. </p>
<p><strong>The World is not Enough</strong>, was such an interesting film for me because (spoiler alert, oops) the bad guy, for the first time, was a woman. </p>
<p>Both these movies also incorporate a lot of the history of Bond, even touching upon past props from the Connery days which I really appreciated. Who doesn’t love some classic nostalgia? </p>

<p>Watch list:</p>
<ol>
  <li>The World is not Enough</li>
  <li>Die Another Day</li>
</ol>

<h1>Daniel Craig </h1>
<h2>Mic drop<strong>.</strong> </h2>

<p>The final Bond (so far) we have Craig picking up the name from 2006- 2020 (which he has said the final movie to come out will be his last, doing officially 5 movies). </p>
<p>This new era of Bond is serious, all movies connect, and we have some insane special effects. These movies are the most classic, diverse and have you at the edge of your seat the entire time. </p>
<p>I appreciate Craig as Bond because he brings something so different and unique to the role. He also does not play the role corny, or make himself out to be a womanizer. In one movie he doesn’t even sleep with the Bond girl!! (assuming that’s more the writing then the actor). </p>
<p>Out of the four of Craig’s movies, I am going to suggest you watch 3: <strong>Casino Royale</strong>, 2006, <strong>Quantum of Solace</strong>, 2008 and the last <strong>Spectre</strong>, 2015. <strong>Skyfall</strong>, 2012 falls in the middle of these movies. Out of all of them I liked this one the least, and I felt like it should have taken place after Spectre. Many people will disagree with me, but again this is my opinion (and my mag!)</p>
<p>I found it interesting that they made Craig a new “character” with no history. The other Bond’s have been continuous and not acknowledged that they are different people. This new Bond has recently taken up the mantle of a “double 0” and is fresh (with no Moneypenny in sight). </p>
<p>Watch list:</p>
<ol>
  <li>Casino Royale</li>
  <li>Quantum of Solace </li>
  <li>Spectre </li>
</ol>

<h1>So that is my James Bond must watch list!</h1>
<p>I am located in Canada, and for some reason none of these movies are on any streaming sites (seriously @netflix where u @?)</p>
<p>I rented some on YouTube and I streamed some (oops). They are particularly easy to find though, just give a little search on google! </p>
<p>These ten movies will take you a nice long time, especially during quarantine I know we need things to do. </p>
<p>Now, you can screenshot this last page because I am going to list the ten movies in order. </p>
<p><strong>Watch list</strong>:</p>
<ol>
  <li>Dr. No</li>
  <li>Goldfinger</li>
  <li>Diamonds are Forever</li>
  <li>The Spy Who Loved Me</li>
  <li>A View to a Kill</li>
  <li>The World is not Enough</li>
  <li>Die Another Day</li>
  <li>Casino Royale</li>
  <li>Quantum of Solace </li>
  <li> Spectre </li>
</ol>
<p>Happy watching!</p>
<p>Enjoy </p>

Top 10 Bond Movies  — @undefined's mag on Magma

Personal

<h1>Self Isolation</h1>
<h2>The current norm<strong>.</strong> </h2>
<p>What is going on in the world is scary, there is no doubt about it. If you are like me, a non-essential work person than the one thing you need to do IS STAY HOME!</p>
<p>It’s hard to do, you miss your friends, family or significant others. People all around the world are dying in mass numbers and the only way we can stop that is to truly just stay home. </p>
<p>Now, being stuck at home is hard even when you have a TV or computer and of course your food cabinet. As someone who suffers from anxiety and depression it is important for me to stay busy, active and probably most important is to have a routine! </p>
<p>In this mag I am going to help you stay at home! So read on for all my tips and tricks :)</p>
<p>Enjoy xx</p>

<h1>Wake Up! <strong>Let’s</strong> Be Productive </h1>

<p>I normally would wake up at 8am to get to work, but since I have no work to get ready for (and I am barely sleeping thanks to the crippling anxiety and fear of what’s happening in the world) I get up around 9:15. I don’t set an alarm it’s just the normal time my body wakes up (and my full house) gets loud. </p>
<p>I have a journal called “The Five Minute Journal” which I have been using since September, but got lazy and stopped around January. I thought this would be a great time to start again. </p>
<p>So every morning I write three things I am grateful for, three things I want to do to that day and a positive phrase. Even if you don’t have a journal this is a great thing to do in these uncertain times! You can use a pad of paper or notebook. I will link the journal at the end of this page if you want to check it out!</p>
<p>I then make my bed (very important!) and complete my skin routine. After that I will put on **workout clothes** not sweats or a new set of pyjamas! Doing this ensures that I will workout that day. Having the workout clothes on my body takes out a step of changing into them, and is a constant reminder TO WORKOUT!</p>
<p>After all that exciting stuff, I’ll head downstairs for breakfast which is a cup of coffee and a banana mushed with hemp and chia seed. This is my morning routine! No matter if it’s Monday or Saturday this is what I’ll do. A routine let’s see you feel more normal in these uncertain times. </p>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.intelligentchange.com/products/the-five-minute-journal">Journal Link</a></strong></p>

<h1>A Workout!</h1>
<p>Move your body, get active, get those endorphins pumping! As Elle Woods iconically says in <em>Legally Blonde</em>, “Endorphins make you happy, and happy people just don’t shoot their husbands!” </p>

<p>So, after breakfast I normally will log in and do a few work check ins. That is becoming less and less, so I will kill sometime in between digesting my breakfast and my workout. </p>
<p>Great time killers: a puzzle! I ordered one amazon a few weeks back which has been great. You can also read a book, put on a tv show. Remember this time killer between my workout and my breakfast is not long. You don’t want to get stuck somewhere this early in the day, you will end up restless. </p>
<p>Workout time! I am very lucky that I have an at home gym, which I know most people do not. A lot of bloggers are posting at home workouts to do using household items. I also ordered bands that are a great items to use at home! Be sure to check on YouTube for free easy at home workouts! From 40-60 minutes this will make you feel better mentally and physically. </p>
<p><a href="https://www.amazon.ca/Resistance-Loop-Bands-Set-Exceptional/dp/B06XTXZR2V/ref=mp_s_a_1_12?dchild=1&keywords=resistance+bands&qid=1585615273&sprefix=resus&sr=8-12">Workout Bands</a></p>

<li>
  <h1>Project Time</h1>
</li>
<h2>Fun <strong>activi</strong>ties to do at <strong>home</strong>!</h2>

<p>At this point half my day is already gone! Post workout of course I’ll shower then decide what to eat/ make for lunch. </p>
<p>So I’m sure you are wondering what you are going to do next! Personally, I like to not settle down for a movie or tv show binge just yet. It makes me lazy and bums me out even more. So every day I’ll set myself a project. </p>
<p>What kind of project is what you are probably thinking! Well you know those things that you say you’ll do but never get too? That is what I call a perfect quarantine project. </p>

<p>Some projects I have gotten up to during this self isolation: </p>
<ul>
  <li>Clean out my closet! Most places are not accepting charitable donations but that doesn’t mean you can’t clean out what you don’t wear and put them in bags. </li>
  <li>Clean my shoes! My shoes have been filthy, and this was the perfect time to clean them. Pro tip! If you <strong>get a bowl and put baking soda, white vinegar and warm water. Voila! You have just made shoe cleaner!</strong> Use an old toothbrush (clean it!) or something with bristles to dip into the solution and scrub those shoes. </li>
  <li> Get creative! If you want to paint, write a play or make up a dance (hello Tik Tok) this is the perfect chance to let out your creative side. </li>
  <li>Bake! I have been researching some healthy cookies to make that have been delicious. </li>
</ul>
<p>On my to do project list is to take a class, lots of university’s are currently offering cool online classes for free! How could you possible pass up such an awesome opportunity? Attaching link at the bottom for you to check out!</p>

<h1>A Nap Goes A Long Way</h1>
<p>If you are like me and have not been sleeping do to having overwhelming anxiety and crippling fear over what is happening in the world then a nap is needed! </p>
<p>My naps normally take place at around 3:30! Don’t be like me and sleep through your alarm. A nap should really be 45-60 minutes, just as a reboot and reset and to get some extra shut eye since you are not getting a lot at night. </p>

<p>I’m sure you are wondering when you get to binge some TV during this jam packed day? Well during this isolation I have been investing my time in watching something that I have not watched before. For example: I watched all of Wes Anderson’s movies! I am now binging every single James Bond movie in order of release. </p>

<p>Ideas of what to watch: </p>
<ul>
  <li>Mary Kate &amp; Ashley movies</li>
  <li>Lord of the Rings</li>
  <li>Harry Potter </li>
  <li>Steven Spielberg directed movies </li>
  <li>Reese Witherspoon movies</li>
  <li>Indiana Jones </li>
</ul>
<p>I try and limit screen time to after dinner, not to get bored and lazy. It’s important to have your days be full or we will all go crazy. </p>

<h1><strong>That’s</strong> The Day</h1>
<p>Wow ok guys! You have made it through a day. You were active you did a project and now you just want to relax. </p>
<p>While I watch my movies I also like to colour! It helps me relax before bed. I am going to link some fun books below (I have a creepy serial killer colouring book, if you are into that sort of thing.)</p>
<p>All I can say, when going through this wild time is to try and stay grounded, keep busy and don’t think negatively. We will get through this, so stay inside! Social distance if you need to go to the grocery store or walk your dog. </p>
<p>Stay healthy and safe. </p>

Self Isolation: Lets Keep Busy Together  — @undefined's mag on Magma

<h1>Quarantine Movie Madness!</h1>
<p>So, we are all sitting at home trying to find things to watch and activities to do! For the longest time I have been meaning to watch all of Wes Anderson’s movies. </p>
<p>They are such a giant part of pop culture, and I felt that I was missing out. I also couldn’t speak on them when chatting about movies, which gave me serious fomo (how millennial of me!)</p>
<p>So I have been in “isolation” and decided now is the perfect time to stream all his movies!</p>
<p>Everyone should be isolating/ social distancing, so if you are desperate for a fun movie watching marathon I would go with Wes’s films!</p>
<p>In this mag I am going to go through all 9 of his films, giving you a quick synopsis and which I enjoyed and which I did not! </p>
<p>Enjoy xx</p>

<h1>Bottle Rocket, 1996</h1>
<p>Wes Anderson’s first feature film! Fun fact: it was originally a short. </p>

<p>This movie was rather odd, there wasn’t really a point and the story line was al over the place. I am not even sure how to give a proper synopsis other than three friends plan robberies to impress a con man. </p>
<p>I would not watch this movie again, but if you are going to do a proper Wes Anderson marathon than it is imperative you start with his first. </p>
<p>You can see the ground work for this director style in this. I just wish the story line was a little clearer with a point. It’s one of those movies that when you finish it you are left thinking “huh”</p>
<p></p>

<h1>Rushmore, 1998</h1>
<p>Jason Schwartzman with braces and pimples is a hilarious site to see. He plays a high school student that falls in love with a teacher twice his age. </p>
<p>It was slow in the beginning, and gets a little lost around the middle but it was a funny coming of age story. </p>
<p>You also have the introduction of Bill Murray, who becomes a staple in all of Anderson’s movies. </p>
<p>Something that is great about all of Anderson’s movies is that they don’t go longer than an hour forty-five. So even if you are not truly enjoying the flick it’s not too long. </p>
<p>Rushmore was cute, although I would not watch it again. It made sense and was cute but that’s all it was. It did not leave a lasting impression on me, as the viewer. </p>

<h1>The Royal <strong>Tenenbaums</strong>, 2001</h1>
<p><strong>An unforgettable movie with an astounding performance from Gwyneth Paltrow</strong></p>

<p>I would say this is truly what put Anderson on the map. The story of a dysfunctional family unit; audiences all over the world can connect with some aspect of this family, in 2001 and in the present. </p>
<p>The classic staples of an Anderson film are present: the Wilson brothers, Bill Murray, Anjelica Huston. The story line is fun and enthralling and keeps you hooked the entire time. </p>

<p>In popular culture this movie is also hugely important. I’m sure you have seen the halloween couples costume of Margot and Richie Tenenbaum. </p>
<p>This has got to be one of my favourite Anderson movies, and each time I watch it I notice something else. </p>
<p>Pro tip: when watching this movie, or any of Anderson’s films you need to pay attention. They are fast so stay off your phone! </p>

<h1>The Life Aquatic with Steve <strong>Zissou</strong>, 2004</h1>

<p>I truly don’t even know where to start with this movie. I can say that it is so wacky and the story line is all over the place. The character development is awful, and story lines are not finished. </p>
<p>Based on a “Jacques Cousteau” type character, Murray brings his awkward and quirky acting skills to a very confusing movie that leaves viewers (me especially!) scratching their head. </p>
<p>I would not suggest watching this film, I can see Anderson’s film style growing but the story line of this movie is awful. </p>

<p>A tale of three brothers, who have not spoken since their fathers funeral. Each is having their own problem in life, and they all meet on a spiritual journey through India. </p>
<p>This movie was very impactful to me, from the beautiful background of India to them looking for something more to life then the hand they were dealt. </p>

<p>As always Owen Wilson, Adrien Brody and Jason Schwartzman wholeheartedly commit to their roles. Each one gives an amazing performance and you truly connect with these three siblings. </p>
<p>Anderson creates such conflicted and intricate stories focusing on different aspects of the family unit. I really enjoy the films that focus around family because he doesn’t sugar coat anything, it’s raw and real. </p>

<h1><strong>Fantastic</strong> Mr<strong>.</strong> Fox, 2009</h1>
<p>Probably one of my least favourite of Anderson’s movies, this story is based off Roald Dahl’s books. I had never read this story so I had no idea of what was to come!</p>
<p>It was rather long, and silly with not much of a point. I would not suggest watching this movie, because I will definitely not be watching it again. </p>
<p>I did find the animation aspect very cool to watch! All in all this was not a great film. </p>

<p>Moonrise Kingdom, wow I truly don’t know where to begin. A tale of two lovers although they are aged 12. Set in an island utopia in 1965, the story focuses on two misfit kids who fall in love. Both feel ostracized from their current lives, and run away together. But of course madness ensues, it is a Wes Anderson film after all! </p>
<p>It is a star studded ensemble with Edward Norton, Frances McDormand and Bruce Willis joining the regular Anderson crew. </p>
<p>I am not entirely sure where this was filmed but it took me right back to my childhood spending summers at camp and in Muskoka. I would say an additional character in this movie is nature and how imperative it plays to what goes on in the story. </p>
<p>As always this movie really showed the true side of family, love and what happens when people put their differences aside for the greater good. I love a happy ending and this one made my heart swell. </p>

<p>I adore this movie! The colours, the sets! The absolute ridiculous story line that keeps you hooked! The satire of WWII, juxtaposed with the beautiful scenery, it is so impactful. </p>
<p>I had originally watched this movie in 2014, which was the beginning of my love for movies. They’re just so much fun, and Anderson proved that with this film. </p>
<p>Set in the past, this movie is like a different world from our own. It celebrates all the things from history that we have taken advantage of, or have completely gotten rid of. The lobby boy and his mentor is what this story revolves around. The hi jinx that follow is wild; there is murder , love, and a great fortune at stake. </p>
<p>If you are to watch any of Wes Anderson’s movies, it must be this one. It’s a feel good tale, that keeps you at the edge of your seat! </p>

<h1>Isle Of Dogs, 2018</h1>
<p>The cutest animated movie of all time!! I love dogs, I actually have three at home (one being a puppy!) So this movie was right up my alley. </p>

<p>Taking place in a fictional town in Japan, this movie is about taking all the dogs in the city and putting them on an island. The story is about a young kid who is fighting to find his dog and bring all the dogs back to the town. </p>
<p>It is interesting because the human characters (all but two) speak in Japanese, without the option of subtitles. The viewer must assume what the characters are saying. </p>
<p>I adored this movie, and as the final film of Wes Anderson’s (current films) it was amazing to end on such a great note. </p>

Fashion

<p>There is truly nothing I love more than wearing sleepwear in public. It is very chic right now and honestly it’s comfy as hell. </p>
<p>Sophie is rocking this emerald silk set by Olivia Von Halle. This color against her skin truly brings out how flawless she is. </p>

<h1>Sequin Sophie </h1>
<p>Okay this iconic floor length dress by Paco Rabanne is unforgettable. Made in chainmail, with open toe black heels, Sophie finished off the look with a dark lip (my favorite move of hers). The lip contrasting with the dress and her blonde hair allow this look to be a serious show stopper. </p>

<p>
  <h1><em>Sleek Sophie</em></h1>
</p>
<p>This look is truly iconic for so many reasons. The street wear angle to the red carpet is next level. Obviously Sophie is rocking a Louis Vuitton ensemble. </p>

<p>I am a huge fan of her accessories as well, the big hoops really pull this look together. The updo allows a 70s vibe (a personal favorite hairstyle of mine as well) </p>

<h1>Sexy Sophie</h1>
<p>From this adorable black mini Mugler dress, to the background with the Eiffel Tower is jaw dropping! This updo allows you to see her full figure, and Sophie loves a statement hoop. As you can see, she has also gone with a dark lip (yasss!!!)</p>

<h1>High Heels, Red Dress 🎵 </h1>
<p>If you’re not a Jonas Brothers fan then you have no idea how truly iconic this look is. From their hit “Burnin’ Up” this look is what I picture Joe thinking about when performing this track. </p>

<p>Sophie wore this look to the SAG awards in 2017. A Louis Vuitton gown, with a high slit and two different sized straps this dress is stunning. Can this girl wear any color? I believe so!</p>

Sophie Turner’s Top Looks — @undefined's mag on Magma

<h1><strong>Hollywood’s</strong> Biggest Night</h1>
<h2>February 9th was The Oscars</h2>
<p>If you didn’t watch The Academy Awards and you are feeling incredibly out of the loop do not worry! I am here to tell you exactly what you NEED to watch to stay on top of pop culture, and which movies to skip! </p>
<p>This year the movies were fantastic, so let’s dive in!</p>

<h1>Jojo Rabbit</h1>
<h2>My personal <strong>favorite</strong>!</h2>
<p>I believe this to be one of the best of all the movies. The message is so important, especially in this day and age. It is based on the novel <em>Caging Skies</em>, which is why it picked up the Oscar for best adapted screenplay!</p>
<p>Following a young boy named Jojo, the film uses dark humor and satire to tell the story of this boy and his imaginary friend Hitler. A rather dark tale, Jojo finds a girl hidden in his attic. </p>
<p>An interesting take on how people follow, how frightening propaganda can be, and how at the end of the day we are all humans and should respect and love each other no matter race or religion. </p>
<p>Not wanting to ruin it for you, this film will have lasting effect on how you see the world. I think it’s an important story and one which everyone should watch!</p>

<h1>Parasite </h1>
<h2>Wow</h2>
<p>Honestly, I had no idea what I was going into when I started this movie. It was a wild ride, and so unpredictable which is nice in 2020!</p>
<p>It is a South Korean film, which is subtitled. It follows the story of a family of con artists that infiltrate a wealthy family. </p>
<p>With twists and turns there is murder, romance, mystery and a realistic ending. It takes a serious look at the class differences that divide South Korea and the difficult way in which people live. </p>
<p>After watching this movie I could not stop thinking about the story for days after completing. Not wanting to ruin it for you, all I can see is this is a must watch. </p>

<h1>Once Upon A Time In Hollywood </h1>
<h2><strong>Tarantino’s</strong> take on 1969</h2>
<p>I take a personal interest in the Manson Murders (as a true crime addict) so I couldn’t have been more excited to see what Tarantino was going to do in this movie. I was not disappointed. </p>
<p>In true Tarantino fashion, it’s a slow beginning to build up to the giant explosion of an ending. </p>
<p>Following a washed up actor and his stunt double, this story has Brad Pitt shirtless (UM YES) Margot Robbie as the stunning Sharon Tate and of course Leo. </p>
<p>Telling the tale of the tragic events of the Manson Murders, Tarantino takes his own twist in what one wishes happened. </p>

<h1>Joker</h1>
<h2>A piece that focuses on mental health</h2>
<p>An incredible film that showcases mental health and those who feel different, disconnected and as outsiders in the world. </p>
<p>A very different comic book movie, Joaquin Phoenix won best actor for this role. </p>
<p>Words can’t describe how this movie made me feel, it allows you to see the dark side of humanity and encourages you to be kind to everyone. </p>

<h1><strong>Ju</strong>dy</h1>
<h2>Renee Zellweger gives a <strong>performance</strong> of a <strong>lifetime</strong> </h2>

<p>Judy focuses on the sad story of Judy Garland, I best knew her as Dorothy in The Wizard Of Oz and of course Eliza Minelli’s mother. </p>
<p>The movie begins thirty years after her breakout role, during her stay in London performing her hits. </p>
<p>It has flashbacks of how awful life was for her, how she was put on a regiment of diet pills and other prescription drugs to keep her awake. </p>
<p>It’s a tragic story that ends in her death. It really shows how unhealthy growing up in Hollywood was in the 60s and the difficulties she went through. </p>

<h1>Movies</h1>
<p>A gift to us all, they are able to transport us to worlds we can only dream about. If you can I would watch every movie from this years awards, but in this mag I have outlined my fave favorite flicks! </p>
<p>Now go! Watch them :) </p>

<h1>Sophie Turner</h1>
<p><strong>An icon, a queen, a role model. </strong></p>
<p>Sophie Turner’s first, and most iconic role to date is known by all, of course; Queen of the North, Sansa Stark. </p>
<p>Fans were able to watch Sophie grow into an incredible young women and actress. </p>
<p>She is very open about all the struggles that came with fame, and growing up in the spotlight. Connecting with girls and woman about anxiety, depression and eating disorders. </p>
<p>She is always herself, those who follow her on social media can attest to that! </p>
<p>She truly is a gift we do not deserve! This mag will delve into why she is my celeb crush and why she should be yours too!</p>

<h1>Joe x Sophie</h1>
<p><strong>Cutest couple there ever was!</strong></p>
<p>Enter in: everyone’s fave brother from The Jonas Brothers (sue me, I’m biased)</p>
<p>Sophie and Joe are TRULY ADORABLE and if you need any evidence please go listen to the song Joe wrote for her: Hesitate. If that song doesn’t bring you to tears, not sure what’s wrong with you...</p>
<p>He supports her, she supports him which they have publicly discussed. She has explained that she never truly felt self love until finding Joe. He accepted and loved her for exactly what and who  she is. </p>

<h1>Sophie and Maisie</h1>
<p><strong>The ultimate girl power duo</strong></p>

<p>Sophie and Maisie met on the set of Game of Thrones where they played sisters. The two were known to be completely inseparable, and have multiple matching tattoos! </p>
<p>Maisie was the maid of honor at Sophie and Joes wedding, and if you have never watched their interviews together you are SERIOUSLY missing out on some major giggles! </p>

<h1>Sophie Turner</h1>
<p><strong>Should be your celebrity crush</strong></p>

<p>Sophie is truly a gift to us all, from her making fun of silly fads to coining the term “AND THATS THE TEA SIS” we have so much to be thankful to her for. </p>
<p>Also her and Joe’s Tik Tok content is beyond adorable!</p>
<p>Shameless plug: go follow my personal fan account: @<a href="https://instagram.com/sophie_turner_fan?igshid=1lh43uql9l17s">sophie_turner_fan</a> for cute videos of Sophie and all the funny content you could ever want! </p>

Chudleigh’s Farm

<h1>Basic Girls Do Fall</h1><h2>What is more “basic” then Apple Picking?</h2><p>Thanksgiving weekend in Canada is in October, which is perfect apple picking weather! So as most girls do on this Monday off from work, me and my friends headed to Chudleighs Apple farm!&nbsp;</p><p>It was a day full of cute pics, farm animals, and lots of yummy apples.&nbsp;</p>

<h1>What do basic girls wear apple picking?</h1><h2>Only the cutest of knits!</h2><br>

So we all went for our own cozy fall look! Julia wore a cute pink on pink look, and finished it off with a pair of Levis. Ivy wore a black teddy coat from topshop and platform Doc Martens, adding it an adorable fanny pack. I went with a shaggy sweater from the gap and an adorable maroon cap.&nbsp;

It was a great day, all three of us picked apples (and ate some on the way). We had a tractor ride which was fun being able to see the whole orchard! Of course we had the basic girl photo shoot for that perfect fall Instagram!

We even found a cute bridge and abandoned train tracks for a little adventure. It ended up being a fantastic day with my girls in nature, and what more could one want on Thanksgiving?&nbsp;

    <h1>Friends is the greatest TV sitcom&nbsp;</h1>
    <h2>There is no other show that truly spans generations&nbsp;</h2>
    <p>Is Friends the greatest TV show of all time? No, but is it the greatest sitcom ever? Yes, 100%.&nbsp;</p><p>There is a reason that Netflix supposedly paid 100$ million in keeping it on the streaming service for only ONE year.&nbsp;</p><p>Friends premiered 25 years ago and is still as popular in 2019 then it was in 1994. I’m going to outline exactly why this show is the best sitcom ever, and why it will never not be.&nbsp;</p>

    <h1>Humour&nbsp;</h1>
    <h2>It will never not be funny no matter how many times you have watched an episode&nbsp;</h2>
    <p>There is truly nothing better then getting comfortable and putting on an episode of Friends. The humour is easy and the chemistry between the cast is so special that I could have watched an episode ten times but still giggle at the punch line. “The one with Ross’s Tan” is a go to for me. “Mississipilessly!” will forever make me laugh and I am so grateful for that.&nbsp;</p>

    <p>Yes, some people will point out that some of the humour is out of touch- for example, the story line with Chandler’s father. I do agree with this, but I also think they were using humour with what they thought was acceptable. The show premiered in 1994, and society has come along way since then. Friends was and still is supposed to be a light hearted break from the real world, so let’s not forget that!&nbsp;</p>

    <h1>Family</h1><p>This show was able to bring together 6 friends that were completely different and unite them all, creating a modern family. Friends was able to allow audiences to see it was okay to chose your own family.&nbsp;</p>

    <p>Phoebe Buffay was a homeless teenager with no family she could rely on. Once coming into the friend group she was accepted as one of their own and had been welcomed into a new family. The sense of being different but still having a place in this world is so special to everyone.&nbsp;</p>

    <h1>Connection&nbsp;</h1>
    <h2>You can find yourself in each of the characters&nbsp;</h2>

    <p>No matter your age, religion, ethnicity each of the friends at one point in the 10 seasons will connect with your own life on a personal level. Whether it is between Rachel and Ross (were they on a break?!) Or Chandler when he didn’t think his job was the one he was meant to be doing.&nbsp;</p>

    <p>The show goes through everything from love, relationships, jobs and family that no matter what you will be able to find some of yourself in one of the characters.&nbsp;</p>

    <h1>Friends&nbsp;</h1>
    <h2>They’ll always be there for us&nbsp;</h2>
    <p>This show will continue to span generations bringing joy and laughter to everyone.&nbsp;</p>

    <p>So the age old question is whether or not they should re-boot the show with the old cast. I am going to say no, they have given us 10 fantastic seasons and why change something that was so well done.&nbsp;</p><p>Friends will always be there for you, whether you need a laugh a cry or just some friends in a hard time.&nbsp;</p>

Travel

Los Angeles

    <h1 style="text-align: center;">My best friend lives in LA</h1>
    <h2>And this was my first time visiting her and this insane city!</h2>
    <p>My best pal Brooke and I have been friends since forever, fun fact! Our moms were actually pregnant together. Brooke moved out to LA around 8 years ago and this was my first time visiting her and the city.&nbsp;</p><p>We packed a lot into the 5 days I was there, and had the best time doing it! Follow along on our shenanigans and at the end I will add in our itinerary in case you want to duplicate our trip!&nbsp;</p><p><br></p>

    <h1>Day one / Airport chic</h1>
    <h2>Catch ya later Toronto!</h2>
    <p>I always like to dress comfy, cozy and cute for the airport so this set from <a href="https://urban-planet.com/collections/up_womens_onesies-pjs/products/0528-48280432-soft-velour-printed-french-terry-cropped-hoodie?variant=19699802898525">Urban Planet</a> was perfect! My flight was delayed an hour (bummer) but I was ready for a quick nap once I got on the plane!&nbsp;</p><p>Once landed I headed over to Brooke’s apartment for a chill night in featuring some rose and an ETB (early to bed) since we had a serious few days planned.&nbsp;</p><p>Pro tip: I always like to bring a small token/ gift to the host or hostess when staying at someone’s place or even just going for a dinner! I grabbed a great coffee table book from <a href="https://www.chapters.indigo.ca/en-ca/">Indigo</a> along with a cute card to show my appreciation for Brooke and her boyfriend hosting me for the few days I was in LA!&nbsp;</p><p><br></p>

    <h1>First day in LA</h1>
    <h2>Our first day was a busy one!</h2>
    <p>We woke up bright and early to get our first full day in LA started, beginning with Runyon Canyon Park. It was such a gorgeous day and this walk was a mild struggle for me (I thought I was in shape but guess again.)&nbsp;</p>

    <p>After the hike we headed over to <a href="https://www.urthcaffe.com/">Urth Caffe</a> for a classic of Avocado Toast! It was worth the hype, I’m still dreaming of it. Running back to the apartment we changed into our Raptors gear! Go Raps go! Then headed over to <a href="https://www.lacma.org/">LACMA</a> to check out the famous lights outside the museum.&nbsp;</p><p>After a quick nail appointment we headed over to <a href="https://barneysbeanery.com/">Barney’s Beanery</a>&nbsp;to watch the game. The game was amazing, Raptors won and we were <span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;">pumped!&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;">After the game, being very excited from the win, we changed fast and headed over to <a href="https://tomtombar.la">Tom Tom</a> for a drink then to the <a href="https://www.sbe.com/nightlife/locations/doheny-room-west-hollywood/?utm_source=Google%20My%20Business&amp;utm_medium=Website%20Button&amp;utm_campaign=West%20Hollywood">Doheny Room</a> for some dancing.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;">For a first day in LA it was jam packed with great food, a workout, a tourist spot and some dancing and I call that a win!</span></p><p><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;"><br></span></p><p><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;"><br></span></p><p><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;"><br></span></p>

    <h1 style="text-align: center;">Day two / Beverly Hills</h1>
    <h2>Hungover but killing it.&nbsp;</h2>
    <p>So waking up a little hungover, we still had a pretty packed day and we were not gunna let a little headache stop us. For our first stop of the day we went to the <a href="https://www.dorchestercollection.com/en/los-angeles/the-beverly-hills-hotel/?gclid=CjwKCAjw0N3nBRBvEiwAHMwvNuWmyyl7NekSmQGaWR2malV6XEIrzfgQbbC7LAPAvqgnf2iBkAdmAhoCDeMQAvD_BwE">Beverly Hills Hotel,</a> Cabana Cafe, for our brunch. We each got a burger ($$$) but seriously worth it not going to lie.&nbsp;</p>

    <p>Post lunch we headed over to Rodeo Drive to check out all the insanely beautiful stores and to walk off our hangover.&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 1rem; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;">We ended up walking over 10,000 steps which was fab!&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 1rem; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;">Closing out our day we grabbed a quick drink at Soho house hollywood followed by the most delicious ice cream from <a href="https://kith.com">Kith</a> treats.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 1rem; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;">Falling into bed we grabbed a quick nap and then we’re ready to head out for the night. First stop was <a href="https://craigs.la">Craig’s</a> for dinner! When we walked in the paparazzi room our photos (which was insanely hilarious) and we saw Alec Baldwin (he grazed my arm) and Kate Beckinsale (who is a true goddess).&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 1rem; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;">Post dinner we went to <a href="http://goodtimesatdaveywaynes.com">Davey Waynes</a> which plays 70s music and we danced the night away.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 1rem; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;">But what happened after the bar? We ended up finding an after hours “frat house” to grab a few drinks before calling it a night!&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 1rem; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;">Day two was an insane success and I couldn’t have been happier.&nbsp;</span></p>

    <h1>Day three / Warner Brothers&nbsp;</h1>
    <h2>Where all our nerd dreams came true!&nbsp;</h2>

    <p>To say I was excited to see the Warner Brothers studio lot is an understatement. Friends is my favourite show of all time, and sitting on THE couch was a dream come true. Warner Brothers also does all the DC movies, Harry Potter, and Ellen so we got to see the props which was very cool. The tour was for sure a giant highlight of my trip and our tour guide really let us know all about the history of the lot and we were able to learn a lot.&nbsp;</p>

    <p>Day three also had my first In N Out experience and it was truly life changing. I don’t know how I went my full 26 years of my life without having it. But my god Canada NEEDS it here.&nbsp;</p><p>Day three ended on a chill note with us heading to Brooke’s home in Calibasas and another ETB since we were pretty tapped out.&nbsp;</p>

    <h1>Day four / Venice</h1>
    <h2>Ready to get out beach on!</h2>
    <p>Brooke had a wedding on my fourth day so my close friend Maxie decided to show me around Venice! We did Abbot Kinney, and I had a delicious lunch at <a href="https://www.kreationjuice.com">Kreation Kafe</a> followed by some “Birding” which is an electric scooter and I LOVED IT!!&nbsp;</p>

    <p>The day ended in Santa Monica at Barney’s Beanery (again) to watch the Raptors, and unfortunately they lost. For a quick night cap we headed to <a href="http://www.thebungalow.com/thebungalowsm/">The Bungalow</a>&nbsp;and then we called it a night!&nbsp;</p><p><br></p>

    <h1>Day five / my last day</h1>
    <h2>Don’t want to leave!</h2>
    <p>For the final day we headed to Santa Monica in the morning to check it out and ride the Ferris Wheel and it didn’t disappoint. The view was beyond spectacular, followed by a delicious pretzel!&nbsp;</p>

    <p>After Santa Monica we headed to Malibu to see the spectacular Getty Villa and honestly WOW. It is so gorgeous, the architecture and the art!&nbsp;</p><p>For my final dinner we went to Soho Malibu and then Brooke took me to the airport. Saying goodbye was hard but I know I will be back ASAP!</p><p>On the next page I added some additional photos from my last day. &nbsp;</p>
