So the other day I went to London with my girlfriend Abbie. We wasn't sure exactly what we was going to do but we knew where we wanted to go eat. We got to London and looked around Westfield Stratford. We didn't do a lot of shopping just wanted to look for a few bits. We then wanted to go to Shake Shack, we've both never been before. We was going to head to Leicester Square but for some reason the station was closed, so we got off at Covent Garden instead. We saw the Sugglife x PointlessBlog shop as we were there but obviously the queue was super long.



Shake Shack was pretty good. It is quite expensive but we already knew that. We both ended up getting their chips, Abbie had cheese on hers. They were so good I would recommend them. We also got a milkshake each, Abbie got chocolate and I got vanilla, mine was really plain and Abbie's was so chocolatey so if you do go I would recommend getting the "black and white" milkshake as it's a mixture of the two.


We then went to the Youtube Space as they have a shop with Youtuber merch. We didn't find anything to buy, I kind of wanted a Rose & Rosie t-shirt but they didn't have my size and Abbie wanted a Pop socket but we didn't find any. We then randomly bought tickets to see Dreamgirls that night! We spoke about wanting to see a show so I am so glad we did it.


After that we went back to Covent Garden. We wanted to try an ice cream from Milk train. If you haven't heard of it you need to go check it out. The ice cream is obviously a bit pricey but it's expected for how it looks. It comes with candy floss all around the top of the cone, you can chose if what toppings you want or they do 3 that are already made up. I went for the cookies and creme one which was so good. Abbie had the one with rainbow drops, I do prefer how hers looks but I'm not a fan of rainbow drops myself. These did get very messy, we ended up having it all over the table and on ourselves. They did taste good though, a bit sickly but good.


We had an hour or so to kill before we had to go pick up our tickets, so we wandered around Covent Garden, we went through the market, into a couple shops and sat on the floor listening to a man playing the guitar. Time passed by quickly so we went to the Savoy Theatre where Dreamgirls was at. We had such a good view and thankfully no one tall sat infront of me! We had Amber Riley at our performance which I was happy about because I saw her on the Glee tour and she was brilliant. Her voice is incredible live, all the cast were so good. The songs were amazing, the outfits were amazing, the stage was amazing, everything was amazing! I would recommend going to see the show it's so good. Obviously I knew a couple of the songs from the film so hearing them being performed by Amber was incredible. I have now had the songs stuck in my head all week. Not complaining though.

Okay so I've never done an album review before, but why not start now when all my favourite artists are coming out with albums! I have loved Fifth Harmony for so long now, this is their first album as a four piece and let me tell you now this is honestly their best album. I didn't have high expectations as I thought Down and Angel were okay, but the rest of the songs completely changed my mind.

1. Down (feat. Gucci Mane)
I am currently listening to these songs as I write this review to make sure I review them honestly. Down is a BOP, I am sitting here dancing in my seat as I type this. The song is a bit repetitive, I do wonder how many times they actually say down. This was their first single from the album and I do think it was a good choice for a single.

2. He Like That
This isn't one of my favourites. The lyrics are a bit strange the whole "pumps in the bump". It is quite catchy and I feel like it would grow on me. Although when I listen to it all I can think of is the music video.... 😳

3. Sauced Up
A TUNE. I knew this album was gonna be so good once I heard this song. I feel this one would be so good live. I get such a good vibe from this one.

4. Make You Mad
The beginning reminds me of a game or a computer, no idea why. But OH MY GOD this one is SO good. One of my favourites for sure. The chorus is my favourite, I'M GONNA MAKE YOU MISS ME, I'M GONNA MAKE YOU GO MAD, I'M GONNA MAKE SURE I'M THE BEST YOU EVER HAD! Ally slays this one.

5. Deliver
BOY DID THEY DELIVER. Dinah is coming through with those vocals throughout the whole song.

6. Lonely Night
Another amazing song. The chorus is so good. Dinah once again slays this song. Lauren's vocals are raspy and heavenly as per usual. If you don't like this song then bye bye, bye bye. 👋🏽

7. Don't Say You Love Me
This song is going to be amazing live, the girls vocals on this are so strong. Lauren started off the song perfectly. The whole song is perfection, I feel it could be stripped down even more live.

8. Angel
This also isn't one of my favourites. I usually have new songs that come out on repeat but with this one I did listen to it a few times but that was it. I love all the girls verses though. I love Lauren and Normani in this song and the music video. The only thing I hate about this song is the music at the end (2:20).

9. Messy
Listen from 0:30 if you don't think it sounds like "It wasn't me" by Shaggy you're lying. It's not a bad thing though because this is in the top 3 for me. I haven't figured out which ones I like most yet but this is up there. Once again Ally, Lauren, Dinah and Normani all sound amazing.

10. Bridges
Such a beautiful song. A song that is so relatable to everything going on the world right now. I feel I'd cry happy tears if I heard this live. It's a very happy, positive song, one you need to listen to.

This album is by far their best one yet, it really is. I would recommend you buying it, I'm not being biased I mean it. I am so proud of the girls, they worked so hard and came out with such an incredible album. I only wish it had more songs!

I wanted to share my experience in New York City. I went back in September 2014 and it was the best city I've been to yet. I have always loved American things so stepping off the plane and being in a city I've wanted to visit for so long was the best feeling. I went with one of my best friends Hannah and this was our first holiday without any adults! So of course, we chose to go to the other side of the world.



We flew with Virgin and the flight was lovely. We watched loads of films, I listened to music and done a few sudoku's and word searches. They even give out mini fab lollies now which was one of the highlights of the flight. When we arrived my friend got taken off by security which was the scariest thing ever, so don't have your phone in your hand as that was the reason! 40 minutes later she came out, I even cried I had no idea what to do I just stood waiting for ages. Eventually we got our transfer and head to the hotel. We stayed in the Manhattan At Times Square hotel, I would 10/10 recommend. The room was lovely and spacious, the bed was the comfiest bed I have ever slept in, I still stand by that. The hotel was so close to Central Park and Times Square.

Once unpacked, we were both so tired and feeling a little strange because it was super late in the UK but only around 6pm in New York. We didn't want to stay in the hotel and sleep we had to at least go take a stroll to Times Square, which is exactly what we did. It was incredible, everything was lit up, it was so busy but that's a part of Times Square. It was all so surreal, we couldn't quite believe we had travelled all the way to America by ourselves and paid for this amazing holiday.



 Dylan's Candy Bar. Now this place was amazing, it has 3 floors, the first 2 are full of sweets and it smells like heaven, the top floor is a cafe. It's so good and so many celebrities have been there too, they had all signed stuff on the wall so we had fun looking at that. They even had a Photo Booth which of course we had to use.
