My Happy Mood Hacks
Sometimes we get into a funk, I do far too often and it pretty pants. You wake up in a mood with a cloud over you that just won't shift, getting annoyed at little things and wishing to be back snuggled up under your duvet.
Over the years I have discovered ways/hacks in which to help me fight to poop mood and put a smile back on my face! They work for me so maybe they can work for you too!

Things Love Island has taught me...
I LOVE LOVE ISLAND.
There I said it, and guess what? I'm not in the least bit ashamed!
If you follow me on Twitter you will most likely know (and hate me for the fact) that I tweet about Love Island ALOT. Every single night to be precise, so many of you may have noticed my little thread I started on Twitter about Love Island recently.
This thread was all about the 'things that Love Island had taught me' and after I had a reply saying 'you should so write a blog post of these' I thought... challenge accepted! So here is a list all about things that Love Island has taught me as a 27 year old non-singleton!
1. I need to do more squats
Holy moly these girls have some fantastic buns... I can only imagine what my pale cottage cheese wobble would look like on a HD 48in screen.... heads up - not fantastic!
2. BLI (which means 'Before Love Island fyi) I knew absolutely zero dating terminology
"My type on paper", "Stick it on her", "Grafting", "That's a bit of me", "get the ick" ..... I know I haven't been single in a long while but do people really use these phrases in real life? Really?
3. Remembering the exciting career of Blazin' Squad means I'm technically reality TV 'old'
The fact that some of the islanders couldn't even remember the lyrics to Crossroads really hit me hard. Am I that ancient? I mean come on.... Flip Reverse was an absolute belter!
4. Single people need ALOT of paper
On paper... on paper.... seriously stop with the 'on paper'. (Amber this is aimed at you)
5. Microphones don't seem to leave tan lines
In all seriousness I can't even wear a razor back top without getting some ridiculous tan line, how have they not all got white belts?!
6. Bonded extensions are sadly not invisible
Girls, girls, girls, have each others backs when they are hanging out in full view, Twitter explodes everytime a bond is noticed!
7. A water bottle with my name on it is the accessory of the summer and I need one
The fact that they are actually available aswell have made all my dreams come true... I need, need, need one!
8. Islanders would rather fake tan than play in the pool?
I know that ITV don't play pool antics much because the islanders can't wear their mics in there but seriously I would be bombing, diving, lying on a unicorn float 24/7 if I was there, who cares about fake tanning when you're in Mallorca! (Also this probably answers the microphone mark mystery)
9. Whoever is in charge of the soundtrack to each episode seriously needs to be nominated for a Bafta/Oscar/Golden Globe
Nailed it. Every single episode is teamed with a bloody golden soundtrack, honestly I laugh out loud at some of the chosen tunes to accompany the on-going drama.
10. Infinity bracelets mean NOTHING
RIP Kember. *UPDATE* - Kember is back on!
11. ITV have WAY too many ad breaks
Can I suggest that Love Island just has ten times more product placements in the villa and gets rid of ads throughout the show all together? #winwin
12. Caroline Flack has THE best job
Flying back and forth in the sunshine AND getting to know all the juicy gossip first? Caroline girl you have the job of dreams! Although I don't know if I would be able to keep my cool as well as Caroline...
13. I am a tactical voter
Were Dom and Montana the most compatible? Hell no. Did we all want to vote for them to ensure Montana's safety? Hell yes.
14. I look very young for my age
I'm 27 and I feel like I look about 12 compared to this glamazons. I mean I know my collection of Mickey Mouse t-shirt's doesn't help but still... I wish I could glam myself up like that!
15. The Vampire Diaries was right, Nina Dobrev does have a doppelgänger..... Tyla!
Seriously though? Aren't I right!
16. I am very quick as tweeting
I've come to the conclusion that I may need to do finger exercises before and after the show... my phone is on fire from 9pm every night with me expressing my every thought and emotion!
17. Maybe I actually DO love a bit of drama
Jesus, I am LIVING for the shit-stirring, back stabbing and re-coupling! Who am I? Am I a bad person? It's not just me right?
18. "A Type"
Do you really have a type though islanders? Because you seem to just say blonde or brunette.... that isn't a 'type' of person, that's actually a hair colour!
19. Shouting TEXT when receiving a text makes it at last 74% more exciting
I did it the other day when sat with my friends and it went down a storm haha!
20. One week in Love Island time is like three years in the outside world
No really, that villa seems to be like Narnia! You're coupled up for 24 hours and then devastated if they talk to another person of the opposite sex or pissed off they won't go to the hideaway with you?! It's baffling!
21. What did I use to do at 9pm every single night?
And what are we all going to do when it's over?
22. Islanders seem to have missed the legal bit about disclosing ads....
When is someone going to tell them? If it's not okay for bloggers and influencers to get away with then why not them. p.s. I'm not buying your poo your pants tea or toothpaste, just saying.
23. I shouldn't ever go by first impressions
I disliked Kem... wtf was I thinking and thought Chris was an arrogant knob... he is hilarious. Seriously someone please get those two to Christmas #1! #rapgods
24. If you don't speak, we won't remember your name
I give you 10 seconds to remember the 6 new girls and boys that just got dumped from the island.... go!
25. Dom is actually a VERY loyal person
As much as we all thought he was a drip... you have to hand it to the boy - he did stick to his word! (Although why he didn't just leave if he had no intention of being in a new couple is beyond me!)
26. Gifs and memes make everything 50384375% funnier
Literally, using gifs to explain my Love Island feels daily makes me laugh out loud, plus the LI memes are comedy gold.
27. Everyone needs a friend like Montana
Amen.
28. A courgette?
A COURGETTE... yeah, I'm still not over it.
29. Some of the challenges created by the producers are bloody gross
Yes, I felt like a prude old grandma watching that juicing/smoothie challenge. So gross.
30. So many people still smoke!
I'm always shocked as too how many people are smokers on these shows! Half of me thinks some of them only do it on there because they are so bored.
31. Friendships > Romance
How bloody awesome are the friendships this year! I love Chris & Kem's bromance and Montana and Camilla's friendship!
33. I get way too into TV shows.
I mean if writing a whole blog post isn't enough to prove it... just follow me on Twitter.
Right I want to know in the comments.... who are your favourite and least favourite islanders and if you could pick any boy and any girl to win who would you choose? I'd pick Montana and Kem hands down!

My Favourite Movies To Lift My Mood
When it comes to cheering myself other than food, yes chocolate DOES work, I love to chill out on my awesome corner sofa and put on a 'feel good' film! So here's a little list of my favourites.... and if you haven't seen them I highly recommend you do!
Love, Rosie
This has got to be up there with my top 5 favourite movies ever. It makes me laugh, it makes me cry, it makes me happy! Lily Collins is just awesome as Rosie - if you haven't seen this you are seriously missing out on the perfect rom-com.
Look Who's Talking
This movie reminds me so much of my childhood, my parents named me Kirstie after seeing Kirstie Alley's name and I always loved her as an actress growing up.
This film is still a total classic.... and the more I grow up the more I fancy the pants off of John Travolta!
The Bridget Jones Trilogy
What female would not want to sit down and watch Renee in her big pants! Bridget Jones is so iconic and Bridget Jones' baby, for me, was even funnier than The Edge Of Reason! I'll never get bored of these.
Just Go With It
This has got to be my favourite Happy Madison movie! Full of lols AND most of it is set in Hawaii.... which we all know is my number one on the bucket list of life!
The Wolf Of Wall Street
My favourite Leo movie. And Leo always knows how to make us feel better! This is a three hour movie so make sure you sit down and clear your afternoon for this one. This is honestly probably my favourite movie ever made in the history of time! so.bloody.good.

90s Disney
The classics from my childhood. Aladdin, Beauty & The Beast, The Lion King, The Little Mermaid (okay I know that's 80s!), Pocahontas, Toy Story, Hercules, Mulan .... these of course always make me feel better. Ain't no movie like a Disney movie.

January Non-Beauty Favourites 2016
Time for part two of last months favourites now! All those non-beauty bits I've been addicted too since the start of the new year.
I know I like to read about things other than mascaras and shampoos so I'm hoping you guys do too!
First up. Harry Potter. Now, obviously I've been a Harry Potter fan since I was about 11 years old but as I've started to read the books again this month my love for it has grown even more immense! I mean.... what isn't there to love? Fingers crossed I'm going to be going back to the studio tour over the next couple of months too - I cannot wait to see the addition of the train and platform.
Apple Music has taken over my phone this month. I finally bit the bullet and made the change over and I am obsessed! Now I'm working at a desk all day having my own music to listen too is a must and having the total back catalog of everything at the touch of a button is incredible!
The albums I've had on repeat this month are :
Carrie Underwood - Storyteller
Sia - This Is Acting
Cam - Untamed
The Shires - Brave
Yes..... I'm a big country music fan!
Trainers are pretty cool again aren't they?
I mean, as a child it's all I ever wore but during my teenage years (2003-2008) wearing trainers just wasn't that cool. It was all about dolly shoes and slouch boots! I'm SO happy trainers are back though as I love the casual look and this month I decided to treat myself to a brand new pair (mainly because they were a bloomin' bargain!).
These Nike Air Max Thea's - full picture here - were better than half price when I bought them from Littlewoods and I'm so pleased with them! They look super cool and I'm looking forward to the Spring/Summer when I can wear them even more!
TV shows I've been watching religiously this month :
Pretty Little Liars (obviously)
Shadowhunters
Ex On The Beach
Dance Moms
Britian's Next Top Model
Last but not least.... this tea. This isn't any old tea. This is Twinings Gingerbread Green Tea - oh my good god I'm obsessed. We bought some random new teas for the office a couple of weeks ago, this being one of them - and we all fell in love.
In you love gingerbread or ginger nuts you will LOVE this - plus it's only like 1cal, WIN-WIN! I've just bought the Cherry Bakewell version aswell which is so yummy too.
What have you been loving this month?

My Sunday Favourites
Sunday. My favourite day of the week.
Mainly because I'm not at work, I hardly ever make any plans and I can get caught up on everything I want too.
Yes, I love staying at home, relaxing, organising my life and having a bit of 'me' time - so cliche I know but who doesn't love that?
Seeing as today is that day I thought I would share you you a few of my favourite Sunday things.
Cosy Clothes (aka looking like a slob)
Pyjamas, jogging bottoms, sweaters - I'm all about being comfortable and cosy.
7 NO BRAS TODAY THANK YOU, NO SIR, NOWAY.
Being Make-Up Free (goodbye visible eyelashes and brows)
There's thing better than letting your skin breathe. It is very rare that I will ever bother to put make-up on on a Sunday, I love being able to keep my skin a break and pamper it a little for a day. (Plus I can rub my eyes and scratch my eye brows if needed - what a treat!)
Face Masks (my weekly Halloween costume)
This goes hand in hand with the no slap thing. I love popping on a face mask on my day off. Give my skin that all needed bit of extra and my total favourite at the moment is the Montagne Jeunesse Hot Spring Sauna - I can't even tell you how many of these I've been through, and they are only £1 each - can't complain with that.
Kirstie's TV Takeover (The remote is MINE)
Yes. I love a good TV session on a Sunday, whether it's catching up ona ll that stuff I've recorded, Netflix or a few good movie's I love being on my sofa and chilling - you may think this is totally sad for a 25 year old but it relaxes me, yup I'm a loser..... (This can be a bit of a fight with the boyfriend though.... he's not a Kardashian/X Factor or Amy Schumer fan really....)
Blogging Marathon (duh)
All those do-to lists and notes I've created throughout the week normally get done about now. Blog posts writing, photo taking, replying to e-mails - the lot.
I mean I'm sat down cosy on my sofa cracking on with these next few posts (whilst catching up with the X Factor) right now! I love having my little blog baby to look after and I enjoy the escape of writing and creating so much - beats a week at work anyday.
Clean Sheets
There is NOTHING better then going to bed on a Sunday with fresh clean sheets, the greatest way to start a new week.
Tea (chain-drinking the stuff...)
I drink so much tea when I'm at home. Wearing comfortable clothes, sitting on my sofa and either blog writing or watching my favourite films.... it's just never the same without that cup of tea next to me! My favourite tea is green tea, I could drink it all day everyday. I've been loving these Pukka Supreme Macha Green teabags lately I grabbed them while they were on offer at Tesco - bargain.

Get The Look : Scream Queens
Okay, I'm kind of obsessed with the new show Scream Queens.
If you haven't heard of it then really.... where have you been?
Not only is the cast awesome, the script laugh-out-loud funny and the storyline genius..... the wardrobe and styling is just perfection!
I love the pastel shades, the faux fur, the accessories,sassy bling and overall girly girl look that the Chanel's rock.
Seriously can I just dress like that everyday please? My jealous rating is through the roof everytime I watch this show - I wish I could style myself like this daily instead of rocking my Primark pyjamas and same old boring jeans!
So I thought it would be fun to have a whole post dedicated to the fashion of the show and my own online picks I've found to try and recreate their gorgeous looks! *heart eyes*

Get The Look - My Scream Queen Top Picks :

I'm Loving... #25
Weetabix Crispy Minis Chocolate Chip
Oh dear. I'm kind of addicted to this cereal!
I have literally been having it every lunchtime - they are so yummy.... I definitely don't think I've been sticking to the recommended 30g portion either, opps.
Taylor Swift Taylor Perfume
I used to wear this perfume all the time but my bottle ran out months ago now. So I was so overwhelmed when I friend of mine treated me to a 100ml bottle that they had lying around. I've been wearing it daily for work - such a lovely fresh scent this is going to last for ages too!
Being Organised
As you may have noticed - when it comes to blogging I have done a totally 360 this past fortnight.
After a couple of months of being totally stuck and in a rut I feel like I'm in my blogging groove again and I have loved being so organised and on top of things lately.
Blueberries
I can't stop eating them. I just wish they weren't like £2 per punnet!
Scream the TV Series
I started watching this when it first came out earlier this year, but once my handy online source went down (naughty naughty) I kind of left it and thought maybe I'd watch it somewhere else one day. Well that day came as it's only gone and been put onto UK Netflix! I'm onto episode 7 I think and I'm loving it - I'm such a fan of the Scream series so it's cool to see a new take on it.
River Island Pom Pom Beanie
You may have spotted this on my Instagram last week - I bought this cute little beanie from ASOS and I LOVE it! I can't wait for cosy winter evenings when I can just chuck this on not have to worry about my birds nest hair!
Beauty & The Beast Nightie
Bold Lavender & Chamomile Washing Liquid
Haha - this is sad isn't it? But I just really like how it makes my washing smell AND it was on offer #winwin
Botanics All Bright Refreshing Eye Roll-On
Yes, it's so cute isn't it! I got this from New Look a couple of weeks ago and have been living it in each evening - I just wish I'd had it throughout the summer because right now it's a bit chilly to wear it on it's own!
Bold Lavender & Chamomile Washing Liquid
Haha - this is sad isn't it? But I just really like how it makes my washing smell AND it was on offer #winwin
Botanics All Bright Refreshing Eye Roll-On
I've been using this on days that I haven't been putting any make-up on and it has given my under eyes such a refreshed feeling. Bye bye bags and puffiness, I'm always so impressed with Botanics products.

My Top 6 Autumn TV Picks
It's officially Autumn/Fall which in TV terms means new seasons and cheeky new pilots!
As a huge TV buff so I'm always looking for a new show to start or am sat patiently waiting for the next season of my favourite show to come back - this year is no exception.

As I know, a lot of you girls and boys are huge TV lovers like myself so I thought what better than sharing my top TV picks for this season.
Scream Queens *NEW*
I had been waiting for this show for MONTHS. The cast and promo photos had me sold before I even knew the plot.
I'm a huge Ryan Murphy fan (Glee, AHS) and knew with the likes of Emma Roberts and Ariana Grande being cast this would be a total hit.
I'm a huge Ryan Murphy fan (Glee, AHS) and knew with the likes of Emma Roberts and Ariana Grande being cast this would be a total hit.
After watching the 2 hour premiere and episode 3 I am HOOKED - it's funny, bitchy, gory... the script is just genius, I can't wait to see what happens.
Oh my goodness, I had nearly forgotten about this little gem, it has been so long since season 1!
Holy macaroni, the twists and turns this show takes are insane - I'm pretty good and guessing a storyline but this has had me shouting 'What?!' 'Noway?!' and the screen more than once already then season.... and there's only been two episodes! If you haven't seen this masterpiece yet then I suggest you go ahead an start it - Viola Davis just won an Emmy for her performance don't ya know!

Modern Family Season 7
Well this is a no-brainer. Modern Family is THE funniest show on TV. Every single episode has me laughing out loud, I can watch them all over and over again! every new season just makes me so happy! (Favourite characters have to be Cam & Phil!)
Dash Dolls *NEW*
Yes it's a Kardashian spin-off.
I'm sure half of you are thinking 'Yes!' and the other half of you are just sat rolling your eyes. I am a total sucker for anything like this, so course it's gone straight on series record! Loving all the girls so far - it looks like it's going to be a fun season! (p.s. can I have their hair and wardrobes please?)
Once Upon A Time Season 5
American Horror Story : Hotel (Season 5)
SPOILERS written ahead! Don't read if you aren't upto date!
Oh lala! Disney and fairytale fans rejoice - Once Upon A Time is back and this season Emma has gone baddddd!
Yes the savior is now the dark one and this season is going to be totally different to anything we've seen before, I'm really looking forward to seeing a different acting style from Jennifer Morrison.
If you haven't seen this show before then it's all on Netflix and they upload new episoes weekly straight after they've been aired in the US!
Last but not least..... something we have all been waiting for! Season 5 of American Horror Story, the only show that hasn't quite started yet.
Hotel. Lady Gaga. It's happening.
I'm praying this turns AHS around for me - I'll hold my hands up and admit I wasn't a big fan of Freakshow, for me Aslyum and Murder House have to be the best seasons.
Once again an awesome cast lined up and I'm sure some fantastic writing! Bring it on.
What shows are you looking forward to this upcoming season? Will you be watching these with me?

I'm Loving... #24
Inside Amy Schumer
Okay - this woman is bloody hilarious! I can't believe I had never watched this show before - it's now on Season 2 and it literally makes me lauhg out loud! Unfiltered, outrageous and ridculous comedy, it really is so up my street! I want to go out and party with this girl!
Priscilla Queen Of The Desert The Musical
I went to see this at the Mayflower this month with my parents as they had bought me a ticket for my birthday back in February! I LOVE musicals and this was amazing. For one... it had Duncan James in it - and he was in his pants about 30 seconds into it which was an added bonus! The music, the comedy, the drag - this made me smile from start to finish! I highly recommend!
MAC Give Me Sun Bronzer
I had totally forgotten about this little chestnut in my make-up collection until I dragged it out for Bestival! I got this years and years ago in New York but don't wear it that often anymore just because I'm never normally tanned enough! I had fake tanned for Besti so this was a perfect match - such a gorgeous shade.
Bleach London Pink Rose Shampoo & Conditioner
This shampoo and conditioner worked wonders in my hair this past month - even better than the dye itself! I left them both on for 5-10 minutes and it turned my hair into a fabulous shade of baby pink - winner wiiner!
My New Elsa mug
Opps, I may have gone to the Disneystore this month. This mug was half price so I couldn't not buy it, you know? Cute!
L'oreal Make-up Genius App
The clue is in the name - this is genius! Honestly just download it and give it a go, and if you fancy a laugh try it on your boyfriend/husband/dad!
Scream Queens
YES! Finally! I have been waiting for this show for so many months now and it is finally here - Yay!!!! This show is hilarious and the cast is just so on point - I love Emma Roberts and the fact Ariana has a guest role in it just makes it even better!
Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub
With the change in weather recently my lips have really been paying the price. Crusty, flaky, dry lips are just a no-no so I've been using this stuff a few times a week to try and keep my lips soft and smooth!
I have used this brush everyday for over a year now - I feel like I haven't spoke about it a lot so I wanted to share my love for it in this post! I use this for my contouring, the angle makes it fab for my bronzer and then I use the other end/side for my highlight - I don't think I could live without it!

#FAceToFace : My Pretty Little Reaction \\ Predictions, Reactions, Thoughts & Questions
WARNING : SPOILERS AHEAD (Obviously)
From the sounds of a few of you on Twitter.... you've been waiting for this post from me haha! I had thought about writing a post as soon as the episode aired but then thought if I started I writing I may never stop and as time goes on I have had even more thoughts and questions to get through so I've sat down today to let it all out!
8am Wednesday morning marked the end of a 5 year question I've had buzzing around in my brain.
Who the bloody hell is 'A' and why are they doing this?!
I've been watching PLL (Pretty Little Liars) since it started in 2010 and have become, how can I say it... a tad obsessed... ever since! (As you my have noticed on Twitter...#sorrynotsorry)
So I'm going to go through my thoughts about the BIG A reveal, my predictions and if they were right, my honest opinion and a 'few' questions I still have playing on my mind!
My Predictions
All I can say is..... I was right!!! For months now I have been saying I think Cece is A and... hello - I was right! Here's a little proof....
And.... I knew that Sara Harvey was trouble - I thought maybe she was Bethany but I did have an inkling she'd be red coat! As soon as she said "I'm calling Tanner" I knew she was on the A team!
Obviously I did have Wildern and Wren at the back of my mind... like everyone else and I did think Melissa would maybe have something to do with it or someone may have had a sneaky twin but you never know... we still have a season and a half to go!
My Reaction
So, when I first watched the episode there was a lot of "I knew it" "huh?" "what?" "really?"'s coming out of my mouth and going round in my head! Yes! I had gotten it right Cece was A.... but Sara as Red Coat AND Black Widow?! Bethany IS actually dead... Mona had been the one to hit her AND she was the one who pushed Marion.
I mean... it was a lot to take in and some things just didn't sit right with me (but we'll get to that in a minute)!
Things that did make me laugh....
That crazy screen the girls watched everything on - what is this? Star Trek?!
Cece is cray. "But did you die?" - I couldn't stop laughing at this! Seriously girl - WHY are you doing this?!
Mona's awesome one liner - "Aria maybe you thought Clark was always happy to see you but I couldn't get past the buldge in his pants"
THAT DAMN WINDOW SCREEN! Cece watching the girls through the window.... but really just watching a scene from Season 3? on a screen - hahahahaa! Great attempt guys!
Emily punching Sara - YOU GO GIRL!
The girls saying bye to each other obviously got me all chocked up - Spencer saying "Hanna Banana" - ALL THE FEELS and no matter how I feel about the finale the flash forward has got me SO excited for January!!!I literally couldn't stop thinking about the episode all day... and that was the problem... the more I thought about it the more I thought - wait a minute? Really?! That doesn't even make sense!
I'm not mad that Cece is A - I mean I had guessed it already but it's just everything else inbetween that's got me a little - confused/frustrated/stressed. Do I take this show too seriously? 100%. Yes.
After Thoughts
You might need a cup of tea to get through the next 2 sections as I may ramble on for a bit!Now it's been 3 days since I watched the finale and I have been thinking about it a hell of a lot - reading tweets, tumblr, thinking about previous episodes and THERE ARE SO MANY UNANSWERED QUESTIONS!
I just WISH I had been more shocked/surprised and blown away!
It made me feel a little bit 'meh' - maybe because I had already thought it? But I just feel like if I was more tense and surprised by previous finales e.g. the dollhouse and the Ezra reveal!
I love PLL, I love Marlene but I can't help but think that this wasn't always the plan - I mean maybe it was, but so much doesn't add up and there's been some incredible clues throughout the show which aren't anything to do with anything - so why have them!?
Questions I NEED Answered!
WHAT was Sept 7th all about?! Sara knew the passcode for the Carissimi group - but why was it September 7th?
Cece was 12 when Marion died. This makes no sense with the timeline we have already seen on the show. Toby tells Emily in season 1 or 2 that his Mum passed away 'a year ago last week'. Literally makes NO sense, it wasn't a flashback it was a real scene so there's no talking their way out of that one!
WHAT does Bethany have to do with it all?! Jessica took her horse riding, she wrote letters to Alison (did they know each other?) and she had drawn all those photos of Mrs. D. etc - why was she such a big storyline if she is no-one?
If Cece loved Ali WHY did she want to torture her?!
Where the eff did Sara Harvey come from? Why was she so eager to help Cece if she didn't even know the girls?!
How old was Wildern? He was a policeman already when Marion died? aka when Cece was 12.
Who killed Mrs. D? This one is seriously bugging me! And WHY did Cece text Ali bragging about burying her mum if she was so upset about it?
Why were Radley not looking for Cece?! If a patient had escaped a mental institution you think someone at least would be informed right?
If Ali could hear Mrs. D. talking when burying her then why couldn't she hear Cece?
WHY did Cece want to create a prom that she never went too in the dollhouse? A prom that she was prom 'king' when she's been fighting to be a female her whole life.
Why did Sara have to dress as Black Widow if no-one knew her?
If the Doctors at Radley knew she was Cece then why did she have a visitors pass made for her by Wren? She went in her dressing gown from her room to Mona's - it doesn't make sense.
In the end scenes the girls say "What happened to Sara that night wasn't our fault" - WHAT happened?!
What happened to Cece after she came down from the roof?
Is anyone going to tell Mona that she didn't actually kill Bethany and Melissa did when she buried her alive?
What was Noel Kahn's secret?
We've been told that 'A' is in the pilot.... can somewhere tell me when/where Charles/Cece is in that episode please.
Was the N.A.T. club anything more than what we've seen?
How did Jason see Melissa and Cece talking that night if Cece wasn't there in the yellow top?
What did Aria whisper to Mona in the cinema that time?
What happened to Tippi the bird?
Who drugged Emily and took her to the cemetery?
Was it Cece at Aunt Carol's house? That was never mentioned or addressed!
Where did the boys go?! They were all at prom together and then... nothing!
Why did Cece want to kidnap Mona and make her into Alison?
What did the little girl in Radley have to do with the story?
Why/How did Eddie Lamb recognise Aria?
Why has no-one else ever mentioned Iceland? Only Aria has ever said they went to Iceland.
Who were the twins hinted at this whole time?
If Cece was in Radley whilst at college - how did she has a room mate?
And... how was Cece prom queen if she never went to prom?
How are Mr. D and Jason doing? (Jason is probably scarred for life after dating his brother....)
Mona 'didn't' know about Charles.... but the anagrams of his name were found in her room?
How does the Radley prank even make sense? Radley wouldn't have thought Cece was Alison but they KNOW Cece!?
Why did Cece dress as red coat to 'help' Ali if she was 'A'?
Why was Melissa helping Jenna and Shana?
HOW AND WHY did a mental hospital let their patients out on the roof?!
Radley knew Cece had escaped Radley that night... did they not think maybe she had something to do with her sister's diaperance?
If Mona thought she had hit Alison wasn't she surprised to see her walkng along the side of the road?
How did Noel know Ali was alive?
And I think the number one question on everybody's lips - HOW did the mum's get out of the cellar?!
(If I think of anymore I'll add them as and when!)
See ya in January PLL lovers!
