Hey lucky people!

So with the Royal Wedding coming up everything is feeling very lavish and exciting even for those of us that aren't capable of affording such a luxurious and fabulous lifestyle. I am definately pro-royal family but even I must admit I am jealous of their splendour. So recently I have been entering competitions in the hope of winning some luxuries and exclusives for myself!

Organising A Party - The Basics

When organising a big bash it can be difficult to get everyone together and make it happen. Here are a few tips:

1) Don't leave it until the last minute to invite people, especially if it's on a weekend. Many people might not be able to make it due to other plans, responsibilities, travel problems or appointments. To make sure you get a full crowd, give as much notice as possible. This is especially relevant if you are sending invites in the post as you need to allow plenty of time for your invite to be sent and for your RSVP to return. If you don't know all the details yet then you can always just ask your guests to save the date until you are further ahead with plans. That way, they know to keep that day free and you have a few definites for the guest list.

A little rant about the undiscovered/ uninvented/ unexplained/ unfixed/ uncured and not yet eradicated problems of the world

Why are there so many things that haven't been invented yet? Although we can go to the moon, we cannot cure the common cold. It seems ridiculous that with new inventions popping up everywhere, we still haven’t cured/fixed/discovered/eradicated/explained the following:

1) The common cold - although I suppose we'd have no reason to watch daytime tele without it

2) Stupidity - why has no one fixed Gillian McKeith yet? She clearly needs to be mended in some way...

3) Many illnesses including HIV/Aids and some forms of cancer

4) Periods - surely there is a way to have babies without the monthly torment for so many years?

5) Childbirth - do us women really need to repopulate the world in so much agony? Surely men can have babies now?

6) Wasps - if we can't find out what their use is can we not just axe them already?

Things We Can Learn From TV - Misfits

This is an old post from my previous blog Miss Emma, Please Teach Me.... It was written in December 2010.


Last Night I watched the Misfits christmas special and in doing so I learnt the following:

1) Babies do not care if you meet a guy you like. If a pregnant women meets a cute guy she must be aware that she might suddenly wee herself if the baby pushes on her bladder.

2) Never give up on what makes you unique. Whether that be selling a superpower, quitting a great class or hobby, changing your edgy style or ignoring your skills and talents. You never know when you might need or benefit from that special part of you.

3) It's extremely difficult to live up to your future self. Sometimes you can become so obsessed with who you're meant to be, who you're striving to be and where you want to end up that you forget to enjoy what's great about you and your life now.

4) Anyone can call themselves Jesus and do a few magic tricks. It doesn't mean they're a good person or a messiah so don't be fooled into donating the entire contents of your purse, even if they do have a very realistic robe and beard!

5) Money doesn't always mean happiness. Don't sell your soul.

TV Shows NEVER To Watch With Parents

Earlier on I wrote about overtly sexual films to avoid watching with your mum and dad. Now it's time for the non family friendly TV list:

1) The Inbetweeners - pretty much everything that comes out of Jay's mouth

2) Skins - the whole cast are very sexual beings

3) Misfits - mainly the character of Nathan here

Films You Should NEVER Watch With Your Parents

If you are embarassed watching sex scenes and graphic language when the family are around then here are some of the most sexually graphic/linguistical films to avoid watching with mum and dad...

1) Perfume

2) Anything with the words 'American Pie' in the title

3) When Harry Met Sally

Why The Royal's Are Important

1) Prince Harry is still available to marry! If we take away the Prince bit he is just Harry and that won't look as good on your Facebook status.


2) Will and Kate are probably going to have an epic fairytale wedding which will be fabulous to watch and means we all get a bank holiday!


3) If it weren't for the royals we wouldn't have The Royal Variety Performance which would mean no Britain's Got Talent : (


4) If we didn't have royals we wouldn't have The Royal Navy which would mean no more sailors : ( As a graduate from Portsmouth University I can tell you girls, this would be a travesty.


5) Whose face would we put on stamps, coins, notes, souvenirs? Please don't say Simon Cowell...

Changes

Hey Folks!

I am changing my blogs around a bit so hang in there while it all changes!

The reason for this is that I am launching a small craft business and I am creating a new business blog called Emma's Kollection. This will be a craft blog for handcrafted cards, bookmarks, gift tags and hampers. Check it out if you love crafts or if you are terrible at remembering birthdays as I will be launching a new service that just might interest those with an elephant's memory!

A Film Student's Space will stay exactly the same as this is a shared blog but Miss Emma, Please Teach Me... is going to be deleted after it's contented has been integrated into The Mash Up Mix, making this blog a video and article blog.

This may look odd at first but I am hoping to do more articles as well as video posts so hopefully it will all work out in the end. Apologies to those who liked the blogs the way they were but I think three blogs may be too many to manage and I think adding some articles of value to The Mash Up Mix can only improve this blog more.

Thanks again for all your support and I hope you continue to visit this part of the blogesphere!

Love Em x

Thank You!!!

I would just like to thank everyone who has visited this blog for your time and support. I hope you love watching great trailers and listening to crazy music mash-ups as much as I do!

I have a page titled 'My Audience' (see the 'My Audience' page link on the right) where I've listed all the countries who have visited the blog. If I've missed you off do let me know as it's so exciting to know that I've provided a bit of entertainment for people all over the world.

I have also had a go at writing on my blog 'Miss Emma, Please Teach Me...' (see 'My Blogs' to the right) which I'm still working on as I don't think I've quite got the blog writing bug yet but hopefully I will have more of a go at that too as time progresses. I'd love to write more travel pieces (would involve some more travelling mind!) and more random articles on culture and entertainment as well as give some advice and tips on stuff that maybe other people are unaware of that I can help with. So please feel free to have a browse on that blog too.

And if movies are your thing, especially if you are a film student, then 'A Film Student's Space' (see 'My Blogs' to the right) might be just for you. There are a dozen of us who have studied film/media or similar at A Level or for our degrees who are writing reviews and features for the blog so check it out!

Cheers everyone!!!
