Curly Hair, Who Cares?


I've wanted to start a blog for a while. I never really knew what to do it about as I have so many ideas and thoughts in this crazy head of mine.
First I guess I should introduce myself. My name is Izzy, I'm a third-year MFL student at Aston University and I'm currently working in Paris for my placement. I'm a nerd, I love all things Disney, Marvel, musicals, you name it I'm probably into it. I'm a lover of fashion, music, reading, and above all, films.
This is me:

I decided that with this blog I would just post whatever came into my head, different sorts of things that interest me, some particular themes and sections. I read, and I watch a lot of movies, so I started out thinking I'd compare the books I'd read to film adaptations of them. While I will still do that on this blog, I also wanted to share insights into my life and my brain, as well as more general stuff like fashion and hair care tips (for you fellow curly-haired readers out there).

So, that's basically it. Keep checking back for more actual blogs, and in the meantime, follow for updates:

Curly Cooks: Booboos

Since we're all stuck inside for lockdown, many people are currently baking to pass the time, including me! So, Curly Cooks is a series on the various items that I'm making while on lockdown, most of which will carry personal stories. Today's recipe is one I invented as a child: Booboos. Curly Cooks: Booboos Jump to recipe When I was younger, I used to enjoy watching my mum bake all manner of sweet treats for my brother and me. At maybe three years old, I decided to invent a recipe of my own, which ended up being named Booboos. Now as a three year old I obviously didn't understand the necessities and intricacies of baking, so I just wrote a bunch of random baking words that I knew and my mum interpreted it to create these biscuits. This is my original recipe card:  Shocking penmanship and spelling I know, and a flawless method. If you can't read my handwriting (unsurprising tbh), it says Resapy for Boo...

Page to Screen: The Miseducation of Cameron Post

Page to Screen The Page to Screen series explores the cinematic adaptations of books and my criticisms of them, comparing the two works and reviewing them separately and as a whole. The Miseducation of Cameron Post 2012, Written by Emily Danforth 2018, Directed by Desiree Akhavan The book Source I recently finished reading this wonderful book and deliberately waited until I had finished it to watch the film, knowing the difference that there would be, and of course not wanting to spoil the end of the book for myself. Obviously, this post contains spoilers for The Miseducation of Cameron Post, both book and film. Written by Emily Danforth, The Miseducation of Cameron Post explores the upbringing of a young girl in Miles City, Montana (where Danforth herself is from) and how the actions she takes cause consequences for her future.  The first half of the book goes through her early teen years, as she realises her homosexuality and learns about it, acting on ...
