etc
et cetera
it is a Latin expression that means "and other things", or "and so forth".
In this part, I'm going to talk about entertainment (music, books, apps and movie) and fashion. If you missed the first part of this article about my beauty favorites, you can click here. I hope you all enjoy this article and maybe try out some of them and love them as much as I do!
ENTERTAINMENT : BOOKS
1. Landline by Rainbow Rowell
I've read this book in the past and even though I don't really like romantic/contemporary books, I think this book is one of my favorites. I picked this book as my month's favorite because it matches the valentines theme really well. It's a really easy and enjoyable read about a wife that's unhappy with her 15 year long marriage and she's really struggling to fix her marriage. One day, when she's spending the night in her old bedroom, her old landline has a magical power that allows her to talk to her husband in the past, which means she can change the future.
2. Starters by Lissa Price
This is the book that I'm currently reading, if you're not into contemporary books and you're more into fantasy books, you can try reading this one! This book takes place in the future where teens are able to rent their bodies for seniors who want to be young again, and the girl name Callie finds out about the horrible plan that's going to happen to the teens and only her can stop that from happening.
3. Harry Potter Colouring Book by Scholastic Corporation and Warner Bros.
I got this book as a birthday gift from my sister recently and FYI, I'm a huge potter head so I'm so in love with this book! And also, lately these kind of coloring books are very popular and they help you release stress. I think this book is really unique, because most coloring books are about flowers, cities, etc; but this book is about the magical world of Harry Potter which is awesome!
ENTERTAINMENT : SONGS AND MOVIES
click the album art to listen to the song!
1. Hymnn For The Weekend by Coldplay
Coldplay is.. indescribable. When I first downloaded their new album " A Head Full of Dreams", I played Adventure of a Lifetime and Army of One on replay because they were my favorites and I didn't pay much attention to the other songs (which is a terrible mistake that I did). Recently, they released Hymn For the Weekend which they shot in India and it's literally beautiful, even though it received many critiques, I actually really enjoy the video and the song is amazing! coldplay is awesome already but collaborating with Queen B? I can't handle such awesomeness in one video.
2. Fool Me Once by Jess Godwin
Okay, maybe many of you haven't heard this song because it's really underrated, I actually discovered this song from the Reality show, Dance Moms (yes, I watch dance moms), and of their ex dancer, Chloe Lukasiak, is starring in the music video. The song is really great and unique, Jess Godwin's voice is so soothing and beautiful. Actually, when I first discovered the song, it got stuck in my head for days! p.s: the lyrics is heartbreaking.
3. Bright by Echosmith
This song is perfect for the Valentine's day mood! it's light, sweet, and the lyrics is just lovely( if you're looking for an instagram caption maybe you can quote some of the song's lyrics, trust me). This is by far, one of my favorite Ecoshmith songs.
4. TRNDSTTR by Black Coast (Lucian Remix)
I discovered this song from the app called Musical.ly, and this song is midblowing! the part when the beat drops is really cool. Even though I'm not a big fan of EDMs when it gets to the part where the beat starts to drop, but this song is really an exception, the part when the beat drops is really awesome!
5. Alive by SIA
I first listened this song from her performance in the Voice and I've loved it ever since. Her voice is really unique, especially during the (deliberated) voice cracks in the chorus! I've loved this song before the music video and album came out, but to be honest I'm not a fan of the Music video because I find it a bit boring (in my opinion), but I think SIA has done an amazing job on her album!
6. Runaway & Afire Love by Ed Sheeran
First of all, Ed is bae, he's one of my favorite singers and I've never get bored of his songs. These two songs are my favorites from this album but they're very underrated compared to the songs like "Thinking Out Loud" and "Sing", and I think these songs deserve more acknowledgement, I've had thoughts about if Ed released music videos for every song of his album, all of them would hit the top 50 chart. (p.s: Afire love has a really touching lyrics)
1. The Boy
first of all, LOOK OUT FOR THE PLOT TWIST! the viewers are fooled during 9/10 of the movie and we get to find out the truth during the last 10 minutes of the movie. Overall, I think this movie is great; I love the scare jumps, the plot, the ending, etc. If you enjoy watching horror/thriller movies, then this is a must watch for you. If you want to know what it's about, you should watch the trailer, it's actually quite self explanatory.
2. Madame Antoine
Actually, this is not a movie, but a korean drama series. If you've never watched any korean drama you can start by watching this one! It's a romantic comedy drama that's really hilarious and has a great plot! If you want to watch it, I recommend this website : www.tiveee.com it has no ads, it's fast, and the video quality is great! So this drama is about a girl who claimed that she has a spiritual connection with Marie Antoinette and became a famous fortune teller, but because of the situation that she has, she's forced to work together with a genius psychology professor who will turn her world upside down.
APPS
Musical.ly
This app purpose is actually for lipsyncing but now it varies to covers, dance, etc. I have so much fun with this app and when you're bored you can make videos alone or together with your friends! You can be creative with your videos and even save them and post them to other social medias such as instagram.
here's the link to download this app:

FASHION / ACCESSORIES
1. Kate Spade Sling bag in the color Fuchsia
I got this bag long time ago and right now, it's one of my favorite bags. It matches the valentine's vibe because the pink/fuchsia color really stands out. There are also many colors available for this model; you can check it out in kate spade's website.
2. Alice in Wonderland Phone Case
One of the prettiest phone cases that I've ever owned. But the thing that it's lacking is it doesn't protect the front screen and that's why I rarely use this case. Nonetheless, this case is definitely my favorite because Alice in wonderland is one of my favorite movies ever and the design is so pretty.
