Rhode, James Bond, and Coding - 25.10.26

 I thought I would write today's post about the current candidates for the role of James Bond, who are doing screen-testing this weekend. It sounds like they have to do a stunt, act out an emotional scene, and be fancied up in make-up and hair products. 

The three candidates are Jack Lowden, known for his role in Slow Horses, Callum Turner, e.g. Mr Lipa along with starring in the recent romance movie One Night Only, and Josh O'Connor, who had a leading role in Spielberg's Disclosure Day, which was slightly disappointing, straying far from Spielberg's usual masterpieces. 

In my opinion, I would love it to be Jack or Josh. Perhaps it is because I've only seen Callum in One Night Only and the adaptation of Emma, but it is mostly because if he does land the role, it may be because of his recent marriage to Dua Lipa. I am sure he is an extremely skilled actor, but the films I've seen him in he seems to be very much average. In terms of looks, Callum does look the most James Bond like. 

Although I am mostly rooting for Jack, I wouldn't mind if it is Josh who lands the role. Although Disclosure Day was a let down in my opinion, Josh played his role very well. He seems a good fit to fill the shoes of Daniel Craig, but whoever it is, we know one thing - this role is career changing. Daniel Craig was an emerging actor before he landed the role of James Bond, now he is a classic actor known for his incredible stunts in the past Bond movies. 

To change the subject, I am obsessed with my Rhode blush! I tried Hailey Bieber's strawberry make-up look, and I am obsessed. Unfortunately, though I try to avoid products trending and falling into the world of consumerism, I have fallen a victim of buying Rhode products, mostly because I love them. I researched into Rhode as a brand, being the nerd I am. There are three things that make this brand so successful: Hailey (perhaps the most influential woman of the past two years), advertising (using the colours and associating them with other objects e.g. rhode blush with strawberries) and simple design. It is, up close, just plastic. And seems quite breakable. But the blush itself? Bliss. 

As I am away, I fear my package from TikTok shop is arriving at home, and I am praying no one else in my family or neighbours open it, as it is a small cushion cut out to the shape of Michael Jackson. I bought it for a friend who is obsessed with MJ, but anyway... there we go.

Tomorrow is our last day in Sydney! Noooo! I'm going to miss it, as we're likely not going back for another few years. A., the long trip, B., the family who lives here will be coming over to the UK next summer anyway. 

Once I'm finished with school, I plan to take a gap year and travel to the cities I would like to live in, including Sydney. I would like to visit Paris, New York, Boston and Sydney, even though I've already been on holiday to all of them. My plan is to stay in each of them for a month or two, and really get what it is like to live there. I'm not exactly sure how I am going to finance this trip, but I'll find a way. I'll pick up a few jobs and do a few gigs to make some cash. Pray for me.

You'll notice I added a coding section, which replaces my 'recipes' page. I honestly created the recipes page when I rediscovered baking and decided I was going to get into baking much more, but then I kind of exploded my microwave and decided to give up. I love it when I come across blogs with coding sections so I can explore how they created certain things, and so I thought I would join the clan. 

Lastly, would you like a tutorial on how to really begin a blog? Like, after creating the website, what gadgets to add and how to attract traffic?

Bye Angels!

 Happy Halloween! I can't believe this day has finally come - I remember last year, and looking at the photos, I looked so different. Ye...
