Returning Shows

Most people who know me will know just how much TV I watch online and how they're predominately American shows (because I think there's a better variety than UK ones). Well this blog post is dedicated to some of the shows I really like that are returning for another season this week.


New Girl (returning for a 2nd season) - It's not an unknown fact as to how over the years I have had a strong dislike towards Zooey Deschanel but when this show first started I heard a lot of good things about it so I decided to see what all the fuss was about and was pleasantly surprised. The American sitcom was better than I thought it would be and although some of the humour was not to my taste I still thought it was, as a whole, very comical and highly entertaining. I still have a disliking towards Zooey, but after this I do have to say that it has lessened and I hope this coming season provides just as much entertainment as the last.


Scandal (returning for a 2nd season) - Considering this was created by Shonda Rhimes (creator of Grey's Anatomy and it's spin-off Private Practice) this had very high expectations when it debuted earlier this year. Personally though, I happened to stumble upon it by complete chance when I had nothing else to watch but after the first 20 minutes of the first episode I was completely hooked. The show is a political thriller series, which may not seem like your cup of tea but I strongly advise you to just give it a try because it's definitely worth it!


2 Broke Girls (returning for a 2nd season) - Over the years I've grown to love Kat Dennings and she certainly does not disappoint in this American sitcom filled with the dry humour and blunt comedy that I absolutely love. This is one of the shows I'm most excited about returning and I encourage anyone who loves a bit of dry humour and blunt comedy, like myself, to give it a watch because this is a show you will definitely not be disappointed by!


Modern Family (returning for a 4th season) - This American comedy series is absolutely brilliant! Yesterday it picked up the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series for the 3rd year in a row and it is well deserved, this show is comedy gold! It's something different and very up-to-date with today's society. Until I began watching it I hadn't seen anything like it. I highly recommend this show to anyone with a sense of humour, I guarantee you will love it!


Criminal Minds (returning for an 8th season) - Anyone who knows me will know just how much I adore this show. It was only about 3 years ago that I actually started to watch it, but I remember spending days in my room catching up with the past seasons until I was completely up-to-date because it was just so good! This season see's the replacement of one of the main characters due to their departure from the show at the end of the last season and although I'm really looking forward to the way in which this new character will be incorporated into the show I'm a little dubious at the same time, because of how a previous attempt at introducing a new character as a replacement for a main one didn't work. I'm sort of willing it to work out this time though but we'll just have to see how it goes. I highly recommend this show to anyone, anyone at all. Words can't sum up just how excited I am for it's return.

As the coming months go by I will continue to keep you updated on other shows returning and also shows that are premiering for the first time and what I think of them, but for now you should give all of these a little look!

A Little Treat




Green Crew Jumper - Matalan
Canvas Rucksack - Matalan

After making it through my first week back at college I thought what better way to celebrate than to go out and treat myself to some new things (stupid excuse really but I fancied something new). It's not something I do often because I'm usually that person who just saves and saves but this time I thought I'd have a little splurge. The rucksack was purely an impulse buy that I literally grabbed as I was walking to the till whereas the jumper I initially didn't really like, but thought I'd try it on anyway, it grew on me after trying it on so I decided to just go for it and buy it and then when I got home and tried it on again I just started to love it so much so that I'm even considering going back next week to get it in a different colour. Both items were quite cheap, at £12 each I thought I couldn't really pass them up. I was surprised at Matalan though because I've been many times in the past and nothing's ever caught my eye so I've never rated the shop as somewhere I'd primarily look for clothes but after finding these two cheap yet very cheerful pieces, I'll definitely consider it more in the future.

Mindful Intentions

For a while now I've been meaning to make a blog that I can use regularly for verbalising my thoughts and making posts on various different things but I've never really known how to start it off, so I'm just going to start it off here by saying that although right now I haven't really got my head wrapped around this whole blogging thing, I'm going to have a stab at it. I'm 99% sure I will be absolutely diabolical at first but at least I'm finally getting round to actually starting it. If you just bare with me to begin with, then I promise that over time my familiarity to this/I will get better and I'll be able to construct posts of more substantial content.
