Book Post #2 Fifty Shades of Grey

Fifty Shades of Grey

So I'm sure by now everyone has heard of or read Fifty Shades of Grey. I have found that it's a bit like marmite, you either love it or you hate it. Personally, I love it! Not because of the raunchy sex scenes (although they're good too!) but because of the story behind it (yes there is one).

In the first book you get a lot of introductions and a feel for what is going to come next. Ana first meets Christian Grey and embarks on an epic love story. It has sexy scenes in it but it also has a lot of psychological issues in it. Personally when I first read Fifty Shades I wanted to punch Mr Grey not kiss him! He really annoyed me until near the end of the final book when I finally understood all of his issues and saw things from his point of view.

In the second book, Ana has made some life changing decisions and the intense, exciting relationship with Mr Grey might not be all she thought it would be. This book focuses on the differences between Ana and Christian, and the struggles they pose on an already complicated relationship.

Finally, Fifty Shades Freed rounds the story off perfectly. With a handful of disasters thrown at them, the couple are forced to deal with their worst nightmares. I'm not going to spoil the ending if you haven't read them yet, but I don't think you will be disappointed.

Fifty Shades of Grey is out in cinemas in the UK on 14th February and you can find two trailers on youtube!

Hans Zimmer Revealed and Friends

Hans Zimmer has never performed to a live public audience...until 10-11 October. 

Hans Zimmer Revealed and Friends Live at the Eventim Apollo, Hammersmith, London.

The seats we had were at the very back of the theater, however, they were amazing seats. We could see everything and everyone even the choir!

'And Friends' included Lebo M (The Lion King) and Pharrell Williams (Spiderman). We attended the Saturday night showing, which Hans informed us was the first time world premier of Lebo M performing The Lion King with him. Being the biggest Lion King fan EVER, I may have felt slightly honoured and privileged to have witnessed such an amazing performance.

This is the concert list. Each performance lasted anywhere between 5 and 20 minutes. For the performance of Gladiator (one of my favourites) they performed a shortened version of the entire score. It lasted for about 20 minutes and included vocals by Miriam Blennerhassett for the award winning 'Now We Are Free' performance, originally sung by Lisa Gerrard.

Before commencing with some of the performances, Hans Zimmer gave a short story of how he came to write the score for that particular film, and what influenced him at the time. For example, The Lion King was written for his daughter and influenced by his father.

Hans has received a total of 10 Golden Globe Nominations, 10 Grammy Nominations and 9 Oscar Nominations. These nominations include Sherlock Holmes, Lion King, Rain Man, Gladiator, Inception and the Prince of Egypt.

He also received a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2010.

So as you can see I was completely blown away by the performances of this evening. Hans Zimmer has always been my favourite composer ever since he wrote the score for The Lion King. That score made me feel every emotion possible in the space of one track. Then he went on to compose Pirates of the Caribbean, Sherlock Holmes and the unforgettable Inception. He also collaborated with Steve Jablonksy for the Transformers scores and has also been known to work with James-Newton Howard, although this work tends to remain un-credited.

Other film scores composed by Hans Zimmer include:

• Rush
• Man of Steel
• The Dark Knight
• 12 Years a Slave
• King Arthur

And many many more...

Marks and Spencers Hand and Body Collection

For my 21st birthday my Mom and sister bought me some amazing Marks and Spencers hand and body lotions. Included was some sensational body washes, moisturisers and lip balm. I have to say they smell amazing. With different scents such as aloe vera, coconut, fig and orange, and lemon, there really is a scent for everyone. 
The hand lotions leave your hands feeling super smooth and delicate. The body wash is amazing although one tube lasts around 2 washes. Also, the lip balm leaves your lips feeling soft and full. 

I would definitely recommend these amazing products for birthday and Christmas presents.
