Follow Friday

My post totally deleted last Friday so I wasn't able to do my Follow Friday post, but I have plenty of time to get this weeks 'FF' up. To make it easier for my self to be able to get the post's up in time, I'm going to do 5 bloggers for each Follow Friday. 

Here we gooooo!! 

1. Beth Ellen at modedeviebel: 

Also a fellow Disney lover which is great!! Her blog is beautiful and well set out. I really enjoy reading each of her posts especially her "understanding and managing anxiety" post, well worth the read and helpful!! 

2. Helena at helenamulhearn: 

Helena's blog is great!! I love her images her photography is amazing! Her last two post's were sooo good too, the Degusta box post made me want to order it so much and we both have a thing for good organisers hahaha!! Go check it out its great!! 

3. Emmie at CarpeDiemEmmie: 

At the moment Emmie's blog is so autumny and makes me feel so warm inside when I am reading it. It also feels like I'm talking to Emmie personally when I'm reading her blog which I like!! I really like her "16 things before 2016" post, very interesting to read. 

4. Libby at PurpleDaisys: 

I have only just recently started following Libby on twitter and looked at her blog and I really enjoyed reading it!! Libby deserves more followers and people reading her blog. It is a chatty blog and doesn't talk about the usual things a blogger does which I think is so unique and needs to be recognised more!! 

5. Jasmine at Littlethingswithjassy: 

Jasmine is such a lovely girl and she definitely needs more recognition with her blog too!! She puts a lot of effort into her posts (as does everyone else). I really loved her recent Disney post and her October Favourites post. Her guinea pig is the cutest ever!!! 

These are my 5 Follow Friday bloggers for this week who deserve this recognition for having such great blogs!! I love each and every one of them!! 

Have a great weekend everyone!!

Disney Tag

This is a post I have been looking forward to writing so much!! Because I just love Disney. I was tagged by the lovely Gemma over at Confessions of a nagging mother and her post was amazing!! I'm going to tag Lauren and Rachel at theflowerthatblooms  and Hannah at An Average Girl .

1.Favourite Disney film? 

I have said this about a million times but why not tell you again? Beauty and the Beast will always, always be my fave!! 

2.Favourite Disney Character? 

I love every single character within the Disney films, but i have always got to stick with my fave Belle. If I had to chose another character I would chose stitch because he is just so cute!! 

3. Favourite Disney Princess? 

Judging from the answers of the last 2 questions, I think you already know who my favourite Disney Princess is... Of course it's Belle!! I also love Rapunzel as well, they are my two favourites!! 

4. Favourite Disney Sidekick? 

Now this is a hard one... There are so many great sidekicks to chose from?! and now coming to think of it my mind has gone totally blank!! Olaf is great but then again I also love Meeko the raccoon from Pocahonats... but I love them all so much!! 

5. Favourite Disney Song?  They are all so great!! why are these questions so hard?! "I just can't wait to be king" from the lion king and "Belle" and "under the sea" I can't just pick one!! That's like asking me would I rather have chocolate or pizza? You just can't choose!! 

6. Which Character would be your Bestfriend? 

Belle. No question about it!! 

7. Who would be your Disney Pet? 

I would either have to choose Stitch or Meeko because they are both great and funny. 

8. Have you ever been to Disney Land? 

Of course I have that's a silly question hahaha!! I have been twice I need to go to Disney World now!! 

9. Who is your favourite Disney Villain? 

Scar is a great villain!! "Be prepared" is also a great song!!

Trip to Tweddle Farm

Today I took a trip out with my cousins to Tweddle Farm where I have not been in yearssss!! The last time I was there was when I went up with the Kids Club I was part of at the time to go to Santa's Grotto, and that was when I was 9. I am almost 18. It has changed soooo much!!! But I loved it!! 

I still got to pet the rabbits and of course I couldn't leave them all out...As soon as I stroke one, the whole lot of them in that pen came over and this was the outcome. As you can tell, I love rabbits (and animals).

These rabbits are the ones I realllly want!! Giant rabbits!! They look so cute a cuddly. I think they are probably the size of a puppy if I am honest!!

Now this parrot never shut up. It literally sounded like it was a screaming child at one point and all it wanted you to do was to stroke it's head. If you stopped, it would start squawking again. Later on when we came back, it was having a conversation with another Bird other in the other enclosure shouting "Hello" back and forth. It was also loving the camera.

I always manage to fit Disney into my posts somewhere... I found Cinderella!!! 

The farm is split into different sections, so first we were in the rabbit barn and then we headed over to the baby animal barn which I loved so much!!! I didn't get a picture of the cows though as it kept trying to steal my food I had for the animals... I also liked how they named their baby lambs after the 7 dwarfs too!

Little baby Lama too :)

These pigs would not shut up either. 

Heading out of the baby animal barn we found this picture option moment thing, so me and my cousin Kyle decided to jump in.

This monkey was the cutest little monkey I had ever seen. There were two of them but I think the other one was camera shy.

Literally had a race with these goats all because they wanted the food in my bag for them. They had their own little bridge to get over to the other side too. I loved it!!

Yes Donkey, It is okay for you to constantly lick the fence?

This is me on a Sunday afternoon when I have just ate my Sunday Dinner and I'm too tired to do anything. Hahaha!!

THERE WAS A CHRISTMAS TREE AND I BECAME SOOOO EXCITED!!! 

But when it came to taking the picture I had to delete some photos so I was stood there for a good 5 minutes deciding which photos were the best ones to take a photo of the Christmas tree...

So this was my day out to Tweddle Farm. I love it here so much, it just reminds me of all the times I used to go when I was little and It's changed so much. When I was little I think it had only just opened and wasn't a lot there and now it is much bigger and more animals and different barns to go into. So glad it is still in business!! 

I am an animal lover too so when my Mam said that's where she was going I couldn't say no!! 

Hope you had a lovely day!! Send me your links on twitter :)

Gemma, at Confessions of a Nagging Mother: 

I love, love, loveeee, Gemma's blog!! I love it all because she has a love for Disney and she is so sweet in her blogs all the time and also her blog deserves the recognition. When I'm feeling down this is one blog I would turn to it's just so great!! 

Kathryn, at Chapters of Kat: 

Yessss I have included Kathryn before but her latest blog posts have been amazing!! A one that should certainly be read is her post on World Mental Health Day. I know this is something that is close to her heart and mine too and she puts so much work into her blog. It's well worth the read!! 

Judith, at JudiJen: 

Judith is such a lovely and kind girl and she puts this across into her blog which makes it so friendly to read too!! I know she has been busy with school work lately so If you give her blog a read She has some new posts liker her Autumn walks which I loved!! 

Patience, at Fodreamy: 

When I first opened this blog I thought that it looked amazing!! The design which she used is just like the layout of a computer or an email which I really like the thought of!! Everything she talks about in her blog is so interesting too and I really like it and this blog also deserves more recognition!! 

Kayla, at Dainty Dweeb: 

I have only just recently came across this blog and I have really enjoyed reading her posts!! It feels like you are actually there talking to her or that you have known her for years when reading her blog which is one thing I love about it!! I also really like her latest post about autumn because as you all know I love all Autumn/Winter posts so I obviously love Kayla's too and so will you!! 

Sam, at The Belle Jar blog:

I fell in Love with Sam's blog instantly when I saw the name of her blog and the image that goes along with it because Beauty and The Beast is my all time favourite Disney film and I think I could of "Fangirled" over it hahah!!

Series 5 Once Upon A Time!!!

IT'S BACK!!!

I am literally so excited to watch this I have waited for so long for season 5 to start!! I absolutely love this series, not only is it Disney related but I love how there are twists to every characters story. It used to be on UK TV on Channel 5 but for some reason they stopped showing it and I didn't know where else to watch it... Until Netflix saved the day!!! 

This is probably my all time favourite TV series even before Friends and The Big Bang Theory!!! and that is saying something!! If you haven't watched this I really recommend you do it's amazing!! I'm really looking forward to Merida's story in this season and to see what happens to Emma I just can't believe the last season ended the way it did and then making us wait for 5-6 months. 

I don't even know when it will be available for the UK to watch or whether Netflix will upload a new series every Wednesday like they did last season (which I really hope they do) but until then if anyone in America watches it, please please please no spoilers hahaha!! My favourite season so far has got to be season 3 when they go to Neverland and when Elsa and Anna arrive, I love that season!! I just really hope this one is even better.

 Have a great Sunday!

My Top Ten Disney Films

You should all know by now that I have a massive love for Disney!! I could have a Disney quote or a song for almost everything!! 

Usually every Sunday I will watch a variety of Disney films because that's what Sunday's are made of... Being lazy, staying in bed and cuddling up watching Disney films. Since it's the weekend and Sunday is approaching, why not share with you my Top Ten Disney Films. 

1)Beauty and The Beast 

2)Tangled 

3)Lilo and Stich 

4)Bambi 

5)Frozen 

6)Monsters Inc 

7)Peter Pan (Non animated) 

8)Lion King

9)Aladdin

10)Toy Story 

I can honestly tell you that, that was the hardest list I have probably done I love every single Disney Film but why on earth did I have to do a Top Ten hahaha!! 

But I love all of these films the characters and music are brilliant in these films and I think these are probably my all time favourite Disney Films. If you haven't seen any of these then you really need to, but hopefully you have seen them because that wouldn't be normal!! Let me know your thoughts on these films. 

Fun fact: When Frozen first got released I thought it was really annoying with the songs and it was really over-rated but when I seen it for the first time, I fell in love with it instantly!!! Have you ever thought like this about a film? 

I hope you enjoyed this post and watch these films soon because they are brilliant!! 

Have a great weekend!

Autumn Days

Days are getting shorter, Nights are getting darker. You know what that means don't you? Autumn is here... then WINTER!!! I am so excited for both of these seasons, they are my favourite time of the year! Well Winter is my overall fave but then Autumn is the run up to winter which Makes you even more excited!! 

As it is Autumn very very soon, I am obviously going to write an Autumn post!! Also suggested by Jasmine at Blogsallbeautyy (Go check her out, her blog is Great!)

First of all, I know most of us girls have different make up choices to chose from for different seasons. So why don't I show you the products I have started using for this season. 

This Eye shadow pallet, that was also featured in the August Haul, has different shades which can be used for every season which is why I love it so much and been wearing it almost everyday!! As you can see by the delves in the segments, I have used 4 shades more than the others. The 2 shades at the beginning of the pallet to the left are the shades I was wearing all the way through August and I loved them! The other two darker shades towards the right end of the pallet are what I have been starting to use with a little lighter colour to the inner of my eye. These colours are great for Autumn and Winter.  

The next product I have started using is a liquid foundation by L'Oreal instead of the Dream Matte Mouse by Maybelline as I find that in the summer months, liquid foundation doesn't really work for me but the Dream Matte Mouse did so I used that for the summer and now I am going to start using this for Autumn/Winter months. This is the True match foundation by L'Oreal in Beige and I have used it for about 2 weeks and I really like it. It took me a while to get used to but it complements my skin really well in my opinion. (and my Mam thinks so too hahaha) 

And of course you can't have your foundation without the matching concealer too!! I really like this concealer works really well too. 

I haven't got a very good image of how I have been wearing my hair a lot more but I know I have posted this image on Twitter so some of you may have seen it. I got this look from Zoe (Zoella) from her YouTube tutorial and I really liked it and it looks cute and Autumn and Winter are cute seasons so it reminded me of that hahaha!! It can't be just me... Also this outfit can fit into the autumn season too and this wasn't even planned that way. 

Of course no Autumn days are complete without candles burning all around your house to make it extra cosy and warm when the weather outside isn't all that good. These are currently the candles I have out. I do have another candle but it wouldn't fit in the photo. Every single candle I have in my room is a Christmas candle apart from the purple candle called Black Plum Blossom from Yankee Candle, which is like a spring scent. 

And to finish it all off, My favourite, Fudge Hot Chocolate with Mini Marshmallows and Squirty Cream, Can't go wrong really can you?

So there it is, most of the things I will be using/Wearing this Autumn and winter, I love all of these!! If you have any Autumn related posts, send me your blog links I would love to read them!!

Should I start YouTube???

Iv'e been wondering whether or not I should start a YouTube channel yet. I have been debating with myself whether or not to start one because I don't know if I will have the confidence to start one yet. (And the same for Kev too he already streams gaming videos on Twitch if you want to check that out.)

So I have took to my blog and Twitter to see what you guys think. I Have already downloaded the 'You Now' app as I may stream live on there one time. But if I did start Vlogging, what type of things would you like to see, like daily vlogs, gaming that kinda thing?

 Also, if you have a YouTube channel it would be much appreciated if you could give me some tips or advice!! All you vloggers who I follow on twitter I do watch your videos too!! 

Obviously I would need some equipment to video and edit with so if you use or know of any good and reasonably priced equipment, let me know down in the comments and send me a message via Twitter!! (Also leave me your links and I will read/watch your blogs and vlogs!!  

I also just want to thank you all who read my blog it means so much and I love to read all of yours too!! Don't be afraid just to send me your links, I will be more than happy to read them!! If there are any ways I can improve my posts let me know!! 

(Me if I start Vlogging hahaha!!)

Thank you all, and have a great Weekend!! (Another post later tonight too)

Liebster Award

I Have been tagged in a post written by Kimberly (Blog for Days) for the Liebster Award which is a brilliant way to be able to meet new bloggers or bloggers who should be recognised more. Thank you Kimberly for tagging me, You are so sweet!! I feel so amazed at the fact I was tagged and I haven't been blogging for long either!! 

Okay, so I should get telling you how this all works...

1. Once you have been nominated, Thank your nominator and link their blog too. 

2. Include the Liebster Awards Sticker in your blog too. (This can be copied from the top)

3. Nominate a new Blogger with 200 followers or less that you think are worthy of being noticed more with their amazing blogs! Make sure you let them know and maybe leave their links below.

4. Answer the 10 questions asked by your nominator and then make up 10 of your own for your nominees.

5. Copy these rules onto your post. 

Kimberly's 10 Questions:

1.What makes you unique from other bloggers?

I think that I am different from other bloggers as I don't just focus on one topic I write about everything and anything and I am very approachable if you need advice.

2.What is your favourite social media to use in regards to your blog?

My favourite social media to use is Twitter. I haven't got a Facebook account for my blog as I think twitter is much better to advertise your blog and to meet more people with blogs and everyone is much friendlier in my opinion and its easier. 

3.What do you buy the most of, Make-up wise?

I Don't really buy make-up a lot only if I need it or I have spare money, but lately I have been buying different foundations to test out which is the best to use and also lipsticks (I bought both of these yesterday). 

4.What would you consider your style?

I don't really have a style I don't think, but I like to think I dress smart(ish) and so that I look mature, but some days I can look like I haven't slept for days and that iv'e been dragged through a hedge backwards hahaha.

5.What's your favourite holiday and why?

I would have two favourite holiday destinations. One holiday destination would be to Salou, Spain because it is so warm and it is a great place to be as there is so much to do iv'e been there once when I was in year 6 and I have been begging to go back ever since. My second holiday destination would obviously be to Orlando,Florida so that I can be a big kid again and go to Disney world to all of their parks and also go to Universal studios too!! I have never been to America either.

6.Who is your biggest inspiration in life and why? 

For this question I am going to have to say my Mam. She has always been there for me picking up the pieces when I have a problem and is always behind me supporting me too. She is the strongest women I know and been through so much together and I love her for that. 

7.What is your "go-to" make-up brand?

My "go-to" make-up brand would be Rimmel as it is the one I have been using since I started wearing make-up and had no problems with it at all. Sometimes I like to test out different brands but Rimmel is always the brand I will go back to as it is all really good make-up and affordable.

8.What do you hope for your blog in the future?

With my blog, I really want to do well by making it look professional and for me to learn how to write more professionally too but I wouldn't want any help with it, apart from making a good layout haha. My blog is a hobby that I really enjoy and I hope everyone still continues to read it.

9.What do you do for fun besides blogging?

Well, funny you should ask. I don't really have a social life haha, the most I do for fun is hanging out with my Boyfriend (Kev) as he is also my bestfriend and we can just act like our daft selves and annoy each other and laugh together which I love the most. Don't really need to go out to have fun or have a lot of friends.

10.If you could travel back in time, what time period would you visit?

I would either love to go back to early 1900's before WW1 in Britain just before Titanic set sail, or to the 1920's America because I found it so interesting learning about it in History in school and I also love the films "West Side Story" and "Bugsy Malone" which are both from that time period and it just looks great!! 

Now I have done my questions it's time for my nominees to do theirs, and here they are:

1. If you had three wishes, what would you wish for?

2. Where do you hope to see yourself (and your blog) in 5 years time? 

3. For new bloggers, what three tips or advice would you give to them?

4. What are your favourite shops/websites to buy clothing?

5. If you could travel anywhere in the world right now, where would you travel to and why? 

6. In your spare time, apart from blogging, what is your favourite thing to do and why? 

7. Throughout the whole of the year, what is the one thing you most look forward to?

8. What would you class as a perfect day? (a day out or in)

9. If you had the chance to hang out with someone famous or a well known person for a day, who would you hang with and why?

10.What is your favourite Disney character, why?

My Nominees are: (if the links don't work, their links are in their twitter bios)

It's been a while

Hey guys, sorry its been a while I have either been very busy with college or other things, or very tired because of college. Starting a new college and getting into a routine again is tiring!! But hopefully I will be more organised soon!!

Iv'e been meaning to post a while now and I did have a post all written and ready to upload yesterday but for some reason it disappeared or deleted so I am halfway through writing it... again!! I really hope you understand, hopefully once I am back into a routine I will be able to figure out when I can upload posts so they can all be regular days. I will try my hardest to write posts and upload them when I can but I am not going anywhere!!

Thank you all for reading my blog still it means so much!! I didn't even think anyone would be interested in reading my blog, I hope you are all enjoying it!! It has even had a make-over too... 

(If anyone knows how to work blogger more than me and how to set out more 'attractable' layout designs, please message me on twitter, I would be so grateful.)

Also, if you would like to see my write about certain posts please, give me some suggestions I would love to hear from you all!! 

(This Gif was cute)

Thank you so much again for reading my blog and being patient with me with writing posts, I promise I will become more organised soon. Hope you are all having a great weekend so far and be careful and safe if you are out and about!!

(P.S. Another new post later once it is finished, for the second time)

Facts about Me!!

I thought it was about time that I shared with you all a little about me. My blog has been up for other a month now and I am so pleased that you are all reading my blog and I hope you are all enjoying it as much as I enjoy writing it!! 

I really do need to make an About me section on my blog but for now I'll give you 10 facts about Moi!! 

Fact number 1: When I was little my legs from my knees down over used to turn outwards so it looked like my knees were stuck together and I walked like a penguin. I do have a picture somewhere but I would have to show you that later...

Fact number 2: I used to be really obsessed with One Direction. Like I would even cry at the TV when they came on and had posters on every wall in my room. I did put one on my ceiling but my Mam told me to take it down, that's how bad I was haha!! I do still like their music just grown out of that "Fangirl" stage. 

Fact number 3: I used to go to private French lessons since the age of 7 until I was 16, and yet I still wasn't the best at it but I love the country and I love the language!!

Fact number 4: I'm obsessed with Disney...Didn't you know? I'm sure I have mentioned it once or twice ;D 

Fact number 5: I was born on the 14th April 1998 at 11:40pm which was the same day and the exact same time that the Titanic crashed into the Iceberg. Also my Nana's Uncle or Great Uncle fitted the carpets on the Titanic. 

Fact number 6: My Top two favourite films are the Titanic and Beauty and the Beast. As soon as the music starts at the beginning of the Titanic, I am already in tears.

Fact number 7: The first time I went to Paris and went up the Eiffel Tower when I was 7/8, we got stuck up there on the second level as a storm hit us and only until we got the photographs developed we realised it was a Tornado. I was in the middle of a Tornado...Up the Eiffel Tower!!

(My very own photography from 2013)

Fact number 8: I am scared of needles, injections and getting my blood took. I hate them, I always end up going into a panic attack or passing out. Injections aren't so bad any more it's just getting my blood taken because they can never find my veins. I also bit my Mam once I hated it that much...Sorry Mam!! hahah!!

Fact number 9: I am an only child.(sob) No brothers or sisters just me but I do have 3 younger cousins and I am the oldest so when I was younger I was always with them and I was able to blame a lot on them hahaha!!

Fact number 10: I am the biggest fan EVER of Winter/Christmas!! I just love it!! It's the best time of the year and I look forward to it the whole year through. It does get stressful but this year I am soooo looking forward to it!! I hope it snows!! 

So that is it! 10 Facts you may or may not have known about me. I am going to do a little page About me on my blog once I re-design what I want my blog to look like which I am doing on Sunday!! 

I hope you enjoyed this post!! Feel free to do the same if this has gave you an idea for a post! 

Have a great Day/Evening/Night

Day out in York

Before I start this post I just want to say that I am so sorry I haven't posted in a while!! Iv'e been settling into a new college and its great and full of lovely people. I have been extremely tired though but again I am sorry I haven't posted in a while :(

Last week, Me and Kev had a day out in York because we hadn't been anywhere for the whole of the holidays and needed a day out!! It was so lovely there, York is one of my favourite places to visit... Not just for the American Sweet Shop either. 

There are so many different kinds of shops from normal everyday ones to the unusual. But obviously, the best shop in York is the Disney Store!! Even though Kev dragged me past it once I still dragged him in when we went past it again!! (Mwhaha) He did tell me if I went in the Disney Store he was taking me to get my ears pierced which I am afraid of doing...(Is that bad?)

One thing I got reallllly excited about in York was the fact that I seen Twinnie- Lee who plays Porsche on Hollyoaks!!! I was literally buzzing and I couldn't believe it!! 

You know when you look at someone and think to yourself,"I recognise you from somewhere..." that's what happened. I only remembered who she was when she had power walked past me so I didn't get the chance to speak to her. But she probably didn't want to be noticed. 

In York there is this little park down beside the river and it is so beautiful! It was such as nice day as well and the scenery was gorgeous, I couldn't help but take photos and think "This will be great for a blog post". We found this little squirrel as well that 'supposedly' charged at my Mam but I doubt it. They were literally coming right up to you so close you could probably touch them, (I wasn't going to in case it bit me). A man passing by knelt down beside it and was feeding it nuts it was so cute!! 

 

I don't know why but I have this love for pigeons...I also think they are cute too. While we were sitting on a bench, deciding on where to go next, there was this old man on the bench next to us feeding the pigeons but they were like, on his knee and he was stroking them!! It was so amazing and cute!! I would of took a photo but I didn't want to disturb the man (or pigeons). 

I got this really spectacular view of the Cathedral as well, I was proud of my photo skills for this. 

If you haven't been to York yet, I do recommend you go, it's such a great City!! If there are any places you have been and you loved, please let me know I really would like to go to more places I haven't yet been. 

Have a great Day/Evening/Night
