TRUE CRIME ADDICT!!

 True Crime Lover


If you're anything like me, you LOVE true crime. The continuous story series, the different cases on each episode or even a feature film; all types of it, I love it. I first started getting into true crime when I was about 17/18 when I watched a documentary about a particular case and from that point, I was hooked. 

I always watch the newest documentaries that are out on Netflix! I think my favourite type of true crime show out there, is the unsolved case programmes, the best one is Cold Case Files. There have been a few now that you can watch  (I can't for the life of me remember what they're all called but another great one is Unsolved Mysteries) mostly on Netflix. It's so nice to see that unsolved crimes finally get their justice and help the family and friends get peace. But then they're also so interesting because they're using DNA collected from 20/30 years ago in some cases and you can watch how they were collected and how they were used in evidence. In one episode of Cold Case Files, they took a thumbprint from a jar of mayonnaise that was preserved from the scene and used it to catch the killer! It blows my mind!  If you ever get a chance, definitely go and watch them!


A DIFFERENT VIEW ON TRUE CRIME 

Now if you like true crime but you like to see the courtroom side of things, then watch The Staircase. I won't say any spoilers but it's a crazy case! When I started watching it I got about 4 episodes in then I got I bit bored if I'm honest. I don't know if it's because I'm a nut job but the courtroom antics don't really thrill me like watching an unsolved murder unravel. I bet the killers thought they were getting away with it but good forensics skills from experienced detectives, keeping certain evidence aside and then them using that evidence to get a conviction is NUTS. It's nothing against the show, it's amazing if you like that sort of thing but it's just not for me. 

TRUE CRIME EVOLVING 

As I got older, I've also fallen in love with makeup (look out for a blog post about that very soon)! There is a YouTuber called Bailey Sarien and if you like makeup looks and true crime, she's the one to watch. Bailey goes through certain cases and true crime stories whilst doing her makeup incredibly!! The detail she goes into and the back stories she finds of each person involved makes it so much more fun to watch. There are some long ones that she has, the Jeffrey Dahmer one is over an hour but WORTH IT, but then she does have some 30-minute ones if you don't have much time.


Obviously, with anything, there have been some series that weren't as good. You've probably heard of The Staircase on Netflix because it blew up when it first came out! It's honestly such a wild story like the theories they come up with and what happens throughout the case (I won't spoil anything, don't panic!) but after a couple of episodes, it got a bit tedious. If you're more into the courtroom side of things and the testimonies, then give this a go because it is predominately about the case unfolding in the courtroom and the lawyers working on the issue.


A new one has just come out, it's called 'Dahmer'. It's not a documentary but it's a series about the life and crimes of Jeffrey Dahmer and I honestly can't wait to watch it! I'll try and watch it all quite quickly and then I can keep you all updated with my thoughts :)

CAR BOOT BONANZA 🚗🥾

Image
There is always a bargain to be found...💎💎💎 A little history about myself and my car boots. I always remember when I was younger my dad loved car boot, we all have memories whether good or bad of our parents but the best ones I have had with my dad is of car boots and other events alike. I learned all my bartering skills from watching him, I'd never tell him this but the reason I'm good at anything to do with bartering and getting deals is because of watching him. My dad wasn't a great teacher but that is not his fault, he didn't have the best upbringing, so he has never been shown or lived with a father who has done what he has done for me, whether he knew what he was doing or not. We always went to these car boots, our main options in my area are a large one at Swallowfield and a one that used to be large, but I don't think it is as big as it used to be, to be honest probably not worth the time it would take to get there. First time in a few years I finally got...

WE MADE OUR FIRST £100 IN SALES! 21/09/2022

  BABY STEPS We did it! We are moving forward! We are taking small steps towards our goal. I am so proud of what Amelia and I have achieved so far, we have just made our first £100 in sales. That was a great first week with our products being officially live on Amazon's Marketplace. We have had some anxious waiting and wondering if we sent the packages off to amazon correctly or if we missed a label or the worse thing, is if the shipment was rejected and we had to pay the fees to bring it back. I'm just looking forward to seeing what we can achieve cause we are a solid team and I wholeheartedly believe fuck all can stop us! We are on a mission to be financial free i'm not greedy, I don't want to be rich, ideally I'd love to go to work without worrying that I need to go because of the money. Then I can go to work and seriously have no boundaries and really express my desire to excel through my company's systems.  With this infrastructure that we are building, we ...

WHERE HAVE WE BEEN

 Where Have We Been?! It's been a while!  Wow, we've not posted a blog for nearly a week now which isn't like us! It's just been a hectic week and we didn't have much time to type one up but let me update you on our week 😊 I've been working on the weekends recently so trying to cram in work, AMAT Culture work and seeing friends and family has been quite difficult. On Saturday we had to go and get a food shop done as we had literally nothing in the house. Matt hates food shopping but I LOVE it! Love picking out what fresh fruit and veg we're going to have, I like having a mooch around to get new meal ideas or snack ideas. I'm also really picky with chicken so going into a shop and picking a decent looking pack of chicken breasts is a must for me. Don't get me wrong, online food deliveries are great if you don't have the time or can't get out but I don't like that you can't look at the products and choose which one you want.  Matt and ...
