MOVIES REVIEWS: ME BEFORE YOU

 

Hi there!

Today I want to review about this 2016 romance film - Me Before You starring Emilia Clarke and Sam Claflin. This movie is heart-warming and romantic and will make for a great holiday movie to watch this Christmas at home with your family or loved ones...

This movie is about a man - Will Traynor who was accidentally paralyzed in an accident and he hires a caretaker - Louisa to care for him and they ended up falling in love with each other... And Will is very happy that he gets to experience a love so pure before he dies...

And I really love the song to the original soundtrack to this movie - Not Today by Imagine Dragons.

And you? What would you do before you die?

HOW TO GET A GOOD NIGHT SLEEP

 

Hi there!

Today I'm going teach you how to get a good night sleep to fight fatigue and make you feel more rejuvenated,

1. Switch your phone to airplane mode 1 hour before sleep. Place it away from you.
2. Spray pillow mist on your pillow case
3. Change your pillow case to satin one which can help to fight wrinkles and hair loss
4. Take some melatonin pills before sleep
5. Do some light exercise before sleep. ie. 20x Sit ups, legs raise in cycling motion for 2 mins, superman plank position for 2 mins and back legs raise for 10x on each leg
6. Change your mattress every 10 years to improve poor posture
7. Light some scented candles
8. Put on some nice pajama

You can also practice healthy sleeping habits by sticking to a sleep schedule, limit daytime naps to 30 minutes, not exercising too late in the day and avoid anything that could mess with your ability to fall asleep. Good sleep can improves your cognitive performance. Sleep deprivation can also weaken your immune system and increase health risks...

And to minimize morning anxiety, you can try to avoid snoozing your alarm, prepare outfits or lunch the night before, consider eliminating caffeine from your diet, start the day with deep breathing, stay mindful during morning activities, identify negative thoughts and counter them, write down your morning thoughts as they happen.

MOVIE REVIEWS: LOVE ME IF YOU DARE

Hi there!

Today I'm gonna review about this 2003 french film - Love me if you dare (Jeux d'enfants). I watched it ages ago at Lido with my then boyfriend and I really love it! I love french films like Secretary and Amelie and this is good with no surprise...

Guillaume Canet stars as Julien Janvier and Marion Cotillard as Sophie Kowalsky. They grew up together and were best friend since little. As adult, they played game of truth or dare with each other and challenges each other to do silly and dangerous acts. 

The moral of the story? I dare you to love me but it takes a lot of guts... 

It teaches us how to let go of your fear and love using your heart and soul.

I give this film 8/10 stars! A definite must-watch!

THE 5 LANGUAGES OF LOVE~

 Hi there!

Today topic I wanna talk about is love and relationship...

If you are currently in a relationship or having problems in your relationships; Or if you are single or looking for love, I hope this blogpost may help you in any sense in your love life!

We all know relationship is a lot of work. It takes a lot of communication, trust and understanding...

If you understand the 5 languages of love, it will increase your chances of building a successful relationship.

What are the 5 languages of love? Here are the 5 areas you want to focus on:

1. Words of affirmation - compliments and encouragement
2. Acts of service - actions speak louder than words
3. Receiving gifts - make you feel loved (thoughts and effort)
4. Quality time together - needs your attention and presence
5. Physical touch - simple hug or holding hands (feel warmth)

What are your priority in your relationship? You may want to take the quiz below to find out... Rate them according to 1 - 5 (1 - most important and 5 - least important):

1. Let me tell you, you're more beautiful than a flower (Words of affirmation)
2. Here's a flower I got you (Receiving gifts)
3. I made this paper flowers for you (Acts of services)
4. Let's go watch some flowers in the garden (Quality time)
5. Let me hold you like a flower (Physical touch)

For me, my top 2 important love languages is quality time together and physical touch. I love spending my time with my boyfriend and I realized he looks very happy everytime he sees me. And I enjoy the occasional cuddling, holding hands in public and kissing.

To keep a relationship burning, you have to make effort. Learn each others language and you will love your partner better. It makes you closer to your partner when you keep learning... Plan some activities to bond together. Love requires trust, effort and communication.

Last but not least, the most important reason why you are likely to succeed in a relationship is when you knows he loves you and deep down he knows you are the one... And that he will do anything for you and he loves you unconditionally!

I hope you will stay happy and healthy... Les pour amour! XOXO
