I was just randomly watching a Youtube video, and an add popped up. I had just started blogging and was looking for every help as possible to write better in English. Before Grammarly, I was writing with what I had learned until that time and the help of Google Translate. Obviously, there’s no need to tell you I wasn’t improving my learning and for sure making simple grammar mistakes. Every time I think about it thank God Grammarly exists, or else no one would read my posts. What is Grammarly? Back to the most important question. Grammarly is an online grammar checker, but not like any other. It can detect more than 250 common mistakes while you are …

I love to be surrounded by pretty things. Actually, who doesn’t?! So, I thought it would be nice to share a few picks to get you inspired and also to inspire myself to create a cute little reading nook. My goal is to create a happy place where I can feel inspired, creative, and cosy. I’ve managed to clear up a room in my house to be my office/craft room. The entire room is – and will be – a work in progress until I’m satisfied with how it looks – which is going to take FOREVER. Meaning, I can do more of these posts since I’ll be searching endlessly for more decor and inspiration. YAYH! As a blogger, I want the room to be especially Pinterestic and also super Instagramable, respecting the basic colour scheme I’ve chosen. One of the walls is in a blueish grey tone in contrast …

Since I’ve taken this HUGE break to shack thing up on the blog, I never got to tell you how was my first readathon, The BookTube-A-Thon. If you heard, you’ll know it took place at the end of July. Today is September 9th and here I am rambling about something that should have been rambled last month. At that time, I was excited to try this new thing that would bring together a whole community. A few times I cross path with people saying they did not enjoy the idea of making a challenge out of reading. I understand why. Most importantly, you should be reading because you like, not to read more books then person X or accomplish some pointless goal. It’s not a race. Even though I was curious and once I get the curiosity bug only trying out can make it go away. After all, I could …

July was officially the craziest month for me. The first week I was still with exams, the second I was cleaning up my room and office – and is not done yet. By the third week when I thought it would be time to get organized to be able to set my schedule free for the BookTube-A-Thon the time passed flying. Soon I realized it was already the 24th and the first day of the readathon. Three days in, I had a drastically change of plans and went to work for a friend of mine. The readathon was over for me since it was going to take the last four days. For the last day of the month, I was going to Porto for a chance to see an exhibition about Leonardo Da Vinci. Now is the 9th of August and I have no clue where did the time go. …

This review comes really late. I saw the movie on the 12th of June and I thought I would fail. I never saw a Pirate of the Caribbean in theatres and this was my chance before they decide to put an end to the saga. I never thought they would produce another movie and the fourth one was already a surprise, so when Disney dropped the news about another movie I was thrilled with excitement. Therefore, today is finally the day I share with you, my thoughts and opinions about the newest movie of Pirates of The Caribbeans: Dead Men Tell No Tales. To start off, I’ve realised at the end of the movie that they use another name for the fifth instalment Salazar’s Revenge. With a bit of search, I found out Disney changed the title for the UK version because of some trademark issues. Either way, the movie …

Last month, I ended in the best possible way: buying new books. I talked all about it in my April Book Overview, but by that time I already knew how would start this month post: more new books. I already spent money with 4 new books, and them my so trusted book shop went for a price drop. I mean… who can resist to saving some bucks?? I knew the opportunity had come for me to finally buy Fantastic Beasts & Where To Find Them: The Original Script by J. K. Rowling. I loved the movie and I kinda do regret not doing a review back when I saw it. Also, I was recommended to read the book because it was sure I would love it. The whole month had passed and I’m yet to rewatch the film and read the script, and probably read and watch at the same …

Today's post is a special story that happened on 4th of April - over a month ago. I love Bruno Mars, especially his last album: 24K Magic. Obviously, when I saw the world tour dates I was so excited because he was coming to Portugal.
