I haven't posted anything on my blog in over a year and I have no idea why! Well, I do. I have been SUPER busy and had lots of new things going on that I haven't really even had time to think about posting on my blog. Where do I start?
In January 2015 when I last posted on my blog, I did The Magical Orlando Tag, as I was on my countdown to visiting Walt Disney World in Florida with my best friend Chelsea in June. Since then, so much has changed! Holidays, boyfriends, moving, new jobs and more!
The main reason I got distracted from blogging in the beginning was because I was spending a LOT of my time with my boyfriend who I had been with in school, but we both moved to different places and drifted apart. We started talking again in the February 2015, we got together officially in the April and we are happier than ever right now!
The countdown did continue for Florida, and seemed to take forever, but then the day before arrived and we were like 'that went so fast!' I will be doing a completely separate post on my trip to Disney VERY SOON, but I had an absolutely amazing time, I didn't want to come home whatsoever!
After I got back from America, I then graduated from Liverpool Hope University with a Bachelor of Arts with Honours Degree in Education and Early Childhood - a day I never thought I would see! My three years at uni seemed to fly by and was one of the best things I have done with my life so far and was absolutely worth it. Graduation day was a very long (and quite boring, sorry!) day, but wearing the cap and gown and having all of my family there and enjoying a celebratory meal together was the best part of it all.
After graduating, I managed to get myself a job in a primary school - the school I had always set my sights on and the reason why I went to university in the first place which was amazing! I started in September and love my job a lot!
I then celebrated my 22nd birthday in September with an amazing present from my boyfriend - a Christmassy weekend away to London! He knew that I wanted to go back to London for a few days at some point and he knows that I LOVE Christmas so this present was really thoughtful. We went to London on the 19th of December for 4 days and had a fabulous time. It was my boyfriend's first time in London so we did the whole 'tourist' part of London - Big Ben, Oxford Street, Leicester Square, Covent Garden, Harrods and Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park.
The day after we arrived back, we went to view a couple of apartments! This was really exciting for us just before Christmas as we fell in love with the second one that we viewed. It wasn't too far away from my parents' house either which was really important to me. I mentioned briefly earlier, but my boyfriend and I went to school together, a year apart, and since then he had moved about an hour and a half away from where my home with my parents was and a bit later on I moved to Liverpool for uni. It was really hard sometimes with the distance as none of us drive! But we ended up being successful with the apartment we fell in love with and moved in in February 2016. After getting the apartment, he left his job where he was living and moved back home to live with me and got a new job around here.
I hope to get my long and overdue post about mine and Chelsea's trip to Walt Disney World very soon and will share lots of pictures too!

The Magical Orlando Tag!
I saw this tag over on Ellie’s blog (elliesramblings) and I was all
over it. If there is anything blogwise that is Disney, Florida, Universal,
SeaWorld etc. then I am sold so when I saw the magical Orlando tag I wanted to
do it right away. Orlando is my favourite place in the whole wide world and am
currently waiting what seems like forever for my trip back there in June!
Fingers crossed time hurries its little butt up…
Which
Hogwarts house would you be sorted into?
I’d like to think it would be Gryffindor house, probably what most
people would say haha. I guess Gryffindor is the obvious choice, but Harry, Ron
and Hermione just get into the most trouble, but the most fun at the same time.
Name a
Disney character you’d like to have dinner with.
One?! Just one?! Surely it’s impossible to choose just one… I’d like
to have dinner with Ariel because hs eis my favourite princess, Belle because
she is my second favourite and I just love her and also Mickey and Minnie as
that’s where Disney all started!
Which
Marvel superhero power would you choose?
I’m not really a Marvel film kind of person to be really honest. I’ve
only ever seen the Spiderman movies and as much as I did enjoy them, I haven’t
really had the interest to watch any of the others. So I’m going to have to say
Spiderman’s powers – I suppose flying around on strings of web would be fun,
right?
If you
could bring back one dinosaur breed from Jurassic Park, which would it be?
Again, I’m not really a fan of Jurassic Park either and I definitely
wouldn’t want to bring back any dinosaurs haha. If google has done me rightly
then I’d say the Compsognathus – the smallest dinosaur which is apparently the
size of a chicken and only hunts small lizards and insects… ew.
You can
ride a dragon at the Triwizard Tournament and visit the owlery at The Wizarding
World of Harry Potter, but where else would you go on a school trip to
Hogsmeade?
Definitely Honeydukes and The Three Broomsticks. I have a sweet tooth
so would love to go into Honeydukes although I’d avoid the Bertie Bott’s Every
Flavour Beans! And I’d have to go into The Three Broomsticks for a butterbeer.
I have had the butterbeer at the studio tour in London and I wasn’t that keen
on it, but I hear in Florida it tastes much better – I want to try the frozen
one!
A scene
in any Disney, Harry Potter or Marvel movie you wish you could experience.
Disney movie: either the part of your world scene in The Little
Mermaid so I could go into Ariel’s little cave and see her collection or the
tale as old as time scene in Beauty and the Beast because let’s face it – it’s
pretty perfect. Harry Potter: I’d love to give Quidditch a go!
Name
one item from any Disney, Harry Potter or Marvel movie you would want for
Christmas.
Disney movie: Ariel’s clam shell bra would be awesome, it’s so cute!
Harry Potter: I’d love Hermione’s time turner. Being in two places at once
would be amazing.
Name
one unforgettable experience/moment you’ve had at the Orlando parks.
100% without a doubt has to be when you first step foot into Magic
Kingdom and make your way down Main Street and see the castle in the distance.
It is a very overwhelming moment for a Disney lover and one that you won’t
forget. It is obviously so special the first ever time you do, but every single
time after when you revisit, even years after your first visit, the magic is
still there and it’s definitely a very surreal moment!
I hope you enjoyed this tag about Orlando and Disney and Universal. I
love doing tags like this and loved this one with a mixture of the parks in it!
Counting down the days to my return to magical Orlando… 152 days!!!

Top 10 Things To Do At Hollywood Studios | Blogtober Day 23
Due to
my love for Disney I decided to do a few posts on my blog stating my top ten
favourite things to do in each of the Disney parks, water parks and other
Disney areas. I already did Magic Kingdom so next up is Hollywood Studios!
1. Fantasmic
Fantasmic is one of Disney’s night time shows and it is amazing. It is around half an hour long and it has a huge firework display and also water extravaganza. Mickey is the main character in there dressed in his sorcerer’s outfit. It is definitely worth a watch if you are able to go to Hollywood Studios.

2. The Twilight Zone Tower of
Terror
This ride is great. It is built to look like an old hotel and it is also haunted. It is designed so that you feel as though you are getting into an elevator and it shoots you up and down really fast. It will shoot you up to the twilight zone in the haunted elevator! Definitely worth a ride if you like more thrill rides.

3. Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster
featuring Aerosmith
This ride is designed to be as though you are going to an Aerosmith concert that they invited you to in a stretch limousine, but you’re running late. You shoot into the darkness on the freeways of LA whilst Aerosmith music is blasting out. Fabulous.

4. Toy Story Midway Mania
Similar to Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin at Magic Kingdom, Toy Story
Midway Mania is a ride where you have targets that you have to shoot to earn
points. This ride is in 4D as well so you need to wear 4D glasses. It is a lot
of fun, it is always very busy but you definitely have to ride this ride.
5. The Great Movie Ride
This ride is quite a long one, around 18 minutes, but definitely worth riding. It is a tour through lots of movies throughout the years including movies such as Singin’ in the Rain and Mary Poppins. Lovely, interesting and fun ride to go on.

6. Beauty and the Beast – Live on
Stage
Due to Beauty and the Beast being one of my all time favourite Disney movies, this is a must for me. It is the story of Beauty and the Beast but Broadway musical style and is amazing to watch. I hear that they are taking this ride away and replacing it with Tangled – I hope they don’t! I much prefer Beauty and the Beast to Tangled!

7. Pizza Planet
Who doesn’t love pizza and who doesn’t love Disney? Put them together and you get Pizza Planet – a pizza place set out like the one in the Toy Story films. It even has the green aliens hanging from the roof!

8. Sci-Fi Dine-In Theatre
This restaurant is designed to look like a drive-in cinema. The tables are actually cars and there is a massive screen at the front playing cartoons and stuff for everyone to watch. I wouldn’t say that this is absolutely going to be the best food you will find on Disney, because it’s not at all, however the atmosphere and the theming of the restaurant makes it definitely worth going.

9. Muppet Vision 3D
Muppet Vision is a 3D film and live-action attraction. It doesn’t matter where you sit within the theatre – you will always get the same view – but it is definitely worth watching this 3D show.

10. Scenery
Random
one as it is not an attraction or restaurant, but the scenery of Hollywood
Studios is beautiful and there are many places to take great photographic
memories here. I would recommend Sunset Boulevard with Tower of Terror in the
background, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster guitar, the fountain outside of Muppet
Vision 3D and also the icon of the park – the sorcerers hat.
They
are my top ten things to do at Hollywood Studios. Every time I write one of the
Disney posts it just makes me stupidly excited to get there in June!

Casetify | Blogtober Day 22
A few
months ago I got the iPhone 5C in pink and wanted a case for it to keep it in
good condition. I got just the bog standard clear case so you could still see
the colour of the phone, but it cracked and bits broke off so I went onto a
website I heard about off lilmisschickas’ channel on youtube called ‘casetify’
or formerly known as castagram. You basically design your own phone case with
different designs available for the amount of pictures that you want on there
and you upload your pictures onto it to make your very own personalized phone
case. It is an American website so it is priced in dollars, but amazingly they
have free worldwide shipping so that was a bonus. I was also able to find a
coupon code online to get some money off so I think it worked out at about £18
in total. I have some pictures of my dog, with friends and family and of course there had to be a bit of Disney on there too! I have not taken it off since I got it and I don’t plan on doing
anytime soon! I love it!
Love

Top 10 Favourite Things About Orlando, Florida | Blogtober Day 17
As you will be able to tell by now I love all things American and Disney, so Florida quite rightly should be my home, yes? Yes. So today I thought I would share my top ten favourite things about Orlando, Florida. There will be some parks, restaurants, and shops within the top ten so there will be a good mixture!
1. Magic Kingdom
The number one slot is obviously Magic Kingdom. They're really not lying when they say that it is the most magical place on earth. It is a great park for all ages and is such a happy place!
2. Downtown Disney
Downtown Disney comes in at second. It is free admission to Downtown Disney and is one of my favourite places to go at nighttime (although just as beautiful during the day time). It has so many shops, restaurants and even an arcade. And not to mention, home to my third favourite which is...
3. World of Disney
I'm not joking when I say I have to be seriously restrained when I go into this shop as I could literally spend all of my money in this place. The worlds largest Disney store. Need I say more?
4. Universal Studios
Universal Studios is another great park to visit - I am yet to visit Islands of Adventure but I'm sure I will love it (will report back after June 2015!!). It is a totally different atmosphere to the Disney parks, however it is a lot of fun.
5. Hard Rock Cafe
I know there are Hard Rock Cafe's all over the world, but there is just something about the one in Orlando. There is a massive pink Cadillac hanging over the top of the bar which is amazing and the food is top notch!
6. Blizzard Beach/Typhoon Lagoon
I can't choose which water park is my favourite from my memories there. I absolutely love the wave pool at Typhoon Lagoon, but I love the rides in Blizzard Beach too. I can't wait to finally ride Summit Plummet at Blizzard Beach - I will not leave Florida until I have been on this slide in June!! The weather always curses me when I get round to it!
7. SeaWorld
I love dolphins. I think that is the main reason that I enjoy SeaWorld so much - not that everything else in the park isn't breathtaking. The killer whale show One Ocean is incredible to watch along with the dolphin show Blue Horizons. The dolphin encounter is also incredible. You can purchase a tray of fish (not too expensive, I think around $7) and feed the dolphins with your own hands. I can't wait to visit Discovery Cove in June to finally swim with dolphins!!!
8. Animal Kingdom
Again, with the animals, I love them. The safari at animal kingdom is incredible and I also thoroughly enjoy the Kali river rapids. I will also 100% be riding Expedition Everest this time.
9. The Florida Mall
Who doesn't love shopping? And shopping in America is so much more fun. Bath and Body Works, Sephora... the excitement is real.
10. Pirate's Cove
And finally, something a little different. Every time I visit Orlando, we go to Pirate's Cove on International Drive. It is a miniature adventure golf course, it's a lot of fun and also not very expensive.
So those are my top ten things about Orlando that I love! I can't wait to feel back at home when I touch down in Florida on the 8th of June next year. That holiday also means some brilliant blog posts I hope - and maybe even some vlogging if I'm brave enough! I will definitely be vlogging when I'm there, it's just whether I'm brave enough to press the upload button on youtube!!

The Disney Movies Tag | Blogtober Day 15
I stumbled across the Disney movies tag and because I am a massive Disney fan, I was all over it. So here we go...
- Name five of your favourite Disney animated films
The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Frozen, The Lion King and Finding Nemo.
- Name three of your favourite Disney characters
Ariel (The Little Mermaid), Belle (Beauty and the Beast) and Olaf (Frozen).
- Name three of your favourite Disney villains
Ursula (The Little Mermaid), Jafar (Aladdin) and Gaston (Beauty and the Beast).
- Name three of your favourite Disney pairings
Ariel and Eric (The Little Mermaid), Belle and the Beast (Beauty and the Beast) and Anna and Kristoff (Frozen).
- Name three Disney moments that have made you cry
I don't think that I have really cried at a Disney movie. There are obviously parts in there which are sad and could make you temporarily unhappy whilst watching, like Bambi's mother dying *snuffles* but I don't think that I have actually shed tears.
- Name three Disney moments that have made you riled up
As much as I love Gaston, he does make me riled up haha he's far too arrogant but a brilliant character. The birds and mice in Cinderella actually make me angry (oops sorry). And third has to be when Ursula turns into a human with Ariel's voice and fools poor ol' Eric.
- Name three Disney moments that have, or still, frighten you
I've never been frightened by a Disney movie to be honest.
- Name three Disney moments that make you happy
I think that every Disney movie makes me happy but I love it when Ariel's father turns her into a human so that she can be with Eric, when the Beast comes back to life as Belle declares her love for him and when Nemo and Marlin are reunited from their separation.
- Name three of your favourite Disney songs
"Part of Your World" (The Little Mermaid), "Circle of Life" (The Lion King) and "Under the Sea" (The Little Mermaid).
As you may have noticed a recurring theme throughout this tag, I am totally obsessed with The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast. The Little Mermaid is just perfection and it is pretty impossible to not love Beauty and the Beast.

The Disney World Tag | Blogtober Day 13
I saw The Disney World Tag on Instagram, screen shotted it straight away and absolutely wanted to do it. So here goes...
1. Favourite park?
Magic Kingdom, hands down.
2. Favourite character to meet?
Mickey and Minnie when they are together in Mickey's little place.
3. Favourite nighttime show?
Wishes firework display - beautiful.
4. Favourite ride in each park?
Magic Kingdom - Splash Mountain (may change to Journey of The Little Mermaid once I have ridden it!). Hollywood Studios (MGM) - Rock 'n' Roller Coaster. Animal Kingdom - Kali River Rapids. Epcot - Soarin'. Blizzard Beach - Cross Country Creek (love a good lazy river) or Slush Gusher (I am yet to ride Summit Plummet due to weather circumstances each time! Got 3 from the front last time and it got closed!!). Typhoon Lagoon - Crush 'n' Gusher.
5. Favourite dessert?
Mickey's Premium Ice Cream Sandwich. It is cookies and cream ice cream sandwiched together in two Mickey biscuits! Yummy!
6. Favourite character memory?
The very first time I went to Disney, I was about 7 years old, and I went with my parents, my brother along with my aunt and uncle. Meeting Minnie Mouse for the first time was so amazing, I can remember it clear as day and was so unforgettable. We even have some photos of the moment. My favourite is all of us smiling with Minnie whilst I'm hugging the life from her and my Dad is kissing her cheek. Love that picture and memory!
7. Favourite souvenir?
I can't choose between two. They are both from the first time I went - one is a ring and one is a key chain. The ring is just a dainty little gold ring with Mickeys face engraved into it. And the key chain is golden and in the shape of an old picture frame with the castle on the front and it opens up and the princesses are inside.
8. Favourite land in Magic Kingdom?
Fantasyland - but I love Frontierland also!
9. Favourite country in Epcot?
It's such a boring answer, but I love England in the World Showcase, because I love seeing all the English stuff in the USA and also seeing their portrayal of England is interesting too.
10. Favourite part of Festival of Fantasy?
Beauty and the Beast's float.
11. Favourite restaurant?
I love the Rainforest Cafe at Animal Kingdom mainly because of the surroundings inside there. It's so detailed and fun - although I am looking forward to trying other restaurants I haven't before (including Be Our Guest - so excited!).
12. Favourite magical moment?
Literally every moment from the minute you walk into the park to the minute you leave is magical. Even stepping off the plane at Orlando International, you feel the magic because you know you're heading to Disney!

Sick Day | Blogtober Day 12
Guys I'm ill! I'm so gutted. I started to feel it a little the day before yesterday but then yesterday got a little worse and now I am literally not wanting to move anywhere. Autumn and winter are my favourite times of the year, but I hate the colds that come with it! I've now enjoyed moving into my house, getting back to uni and shopping so now I am in bed typing this post up with the flu. Great. I feel so weak and ill and tired so I am going to be having a few early nights in the next few days. And no matter how old I get, when I'm poorly I will always miss being at home with my mum looking after me and my dog giving me cuddles all day... but I'm at uni so not this time, Em!
Because of me being ill today, I haven't done much. Literally had to drag myself to the restaurant for dinner with my friends today but as soon as we were back I crawled back into bed like a little sloth haha. So I thought to myself about today's post and just thought I would do a little list of things that I do on days when I am sick:

- Hot water bottles
Is there anything that you always do when you're sick?

Disney Countdown | Blogtober Day 3
As you may have already guessed by some of the posts I have already posted on my blog, I am Disney obsessed and not ashamed to admit it. Despite being 21 years old, since the first time I visited Orlando, Florida to go to Disney at the age of 7, I have always wanted to go back when it came to booking my next holiday. I have been to Florida 5 times so far and am beyond excited that I am going back for a 6th time with one of my best friends in June 2015!
My friend has never been before so is very excited and I am just bursting to get back to Florida. We have our tickets booked to visit all the Disney, Universal and SeaWorld parks - including Discovery Cove that I have never been to, but always wanted to.
We are, of course, going to start our holiday with the best park (in my opinion) Magic Kingdom. This park is just full of magic from the minute you arrive to the minute you leave. Everything is just amazing and the castle is truly breathtaking. As a big Little Mermaid fan, I am eager to get on the Journey of the Little Mermaid ride - new since I last visited the park!
Considering we booked our holiday at the very beginning of April (over a year ahead of when we leave) time has been going pretty fast! However we do have a rather large wait ahead of us to go!

Have you ever been to Florida or visited any of the parks?

Disney Parks Tag!
Okay, so I think it's pretty clear by this point that I love all things Disney, so when I saw the Disney Parks Tag, I was all over it. So, here we go...
The park I have chosen to answer the tag on is, of course, Magic Kingdom:

1. How many times have you been to this park?
I'm not too sure how many times I have visited the park exactly. I know I have been to Orlando, Florida 5 times and they have been for two or three weeks at a time, so I'm not sure how many times exactly I visited Magic Kingdom in this time.

2. What's your favourite land and why?
My favourite land in Magic Kingdom has to be Fantasyland (just over Frontierland slightly!). Fantasyland is just so whimsical and is home to Cinderella's Castle and lots of rides including Winnie the Pooh ride and, one I'm so excited to ride is the Journey of the Little Mermaid which has opened not so long ago. It is also home to the Be Our Guest restaurant and the whole land is just breathtaking.

3. What's your favourite ride and why?
My favourite ride is in Frontierland and just has to be Splash Mountain. Frontierland is just amazing and brilliantly themed. Splash Mountain is my favourite ride because it is just so cute and it's a log flume as well so is a great way to cool down in the Orlando heat.

4. What's your favourite show?
It just has to be Wishes. It is an amazing firework display over the Castle in Magic Kingdom and it is so beautiful. I know a lot of people can get quite emotional at this show and it really is amazing to just stand and watch.

5. What is your favourite thing to eat in the park?
Now I am quite a fussy eater, and my favourite thing to eat is probably going to be so boring, but I love just eating the chicken tenders and fries that you can get all around the park as it is just so American (and you can't beat a Mickey's premium ice cream sandwich for pudding!).

6. What do you want to do at the park that you have never done before?
I am so excited because this is actually happening in June 2015, but I am going to Orlando, Florida for 2 weeks with my best friend and we're just going to do everything at Disney because she has never been before so that is what I want to do. I have never been with a friend before so I'm looking forward to it!

7. If you were a cast member, who would you want to be?
It would just have to be Belle! Belle is one of my favourite princesses, alongside Ariel, but I just love her dress and her hair and she is just amazing.

8. What is your favourite story from the park?
It's not so much a story, but it is something we do every time we go to Magic Kingdom and that is taking the ferryboat over Seven Seas Lagoon over to the Magic Kingdom park entrance. It's just a slow little ferry ride over the lagoon and the castle is in view and it just gets the excitement building and is just an amazing moment leading up to the park.

So that was my Disney Parks Tag! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did writing it. I am even more excited now.

Etude House & Minnie Mouse Collection
So, you should probably know by now that I love all things beauty and Disney, and when I came across the brand Etude House and saw that they had worked with Disney to create some products, I had to get my hands on some of the collection.

I also ordered both of the lipsticks, obviously I couldn't just choose one. They are called Minnie Red and Bubble Pink. They are both absolutely stunning colours and the packaging is adorable. They are really creamy and have very good pigmentation. They also feel quite moisturising as well. They are both perfect colours for a Minnie Mouse collection and I think that I will be finding myself reaching for these products a lot! It was my first time trying anything from Etude House and if all of the lipsticks are like the Minnie collection then I will be very interested in trying some more!
Because I live in the UK, I ordered these from eBay. I got the blusher for £9.39 with free delivery. I got the lipsticks for £5.59 each with free delivery also. I received the package in under two weeks as well which was great!
Have you tried anything from the Minnie Mouse collection or Etude House in general?
Hope you liked this post.

I decided to order one of the blushers and two of the lipsticks. The blusher is beautiful and has an embossed Minnie Mouse face. I'm not too sure on the name of the colour of the blusher, but there is two - a pinky one and a lilac one and I chose the pink one. I think that the packaging of all the products is amazing and the blush is so cute! I can't wait to try it out when I do my full face.

The Disney Tag!
This is another non-beauty related post, but don't worry because the next post is coming soon and is beauty (yayyyy). So, because I am a HUGE Disney fan, I thought I would do the Disney tag that I've seen a lot on YouTube again, but I don't have a YouTube. So let's just get stuck in!
1. Which Disney scene do you wish you could experience?
I love the little mermaid so much and it's not really a scene, but I'd like to experience being a mermaid cause I'm so afraid of the sea, it might help!
2. The first time you went to Disney?
The first time I went to Disney World in Florida I was 7 years old and I went with my mum, my dad and my older brother, Joey.
3. Your most unforgettable moment at the parks?
I think the most unforgettable moment you can have at Disney is the first time you ever walk into Magic Kingdom and also when you make it to the castle and see it for the first time.
4. A non Disney song that reminds you of the parks?
I'm not too sure on this one. It's mostly just Disney songs and songs played in the parks which remind me of them.
5. The character that you would want to be your best friend?
It would have to be Belle - of course!
6. What's the first Disney film that you remember watching?
Either Bambi or Lady and the Tramp. I don't know which I watched first, but it was definitely one of these two with my Dad.
7. Favourite Disney princess?
Belle and Ariel - don't make me choose!
8. What is one of the scenes in a Disney film that makes you cry?
There's probably one in every film! It's going to have to be the classic moment when Mufasa dies in The Lion King - so sad!
9. What is the Disney film that will make you feel better when you're feeling down or poorly?
I think The Little Mermaid as I find the songs very cheery and I think the film is amazing.
10. What is your favourite Disney film?
I can't choose just one. Beauty and the Beast or The Little Mermaid.
Okay, so thanks for reading guys! I know it wasn't a beauty related post but I love Disney and just thought this tag looked really fun!
Hope you enjoyed this post.
