A Disney Steal in The Sale - Tesco

Hi guys! So as everyone who knows me knows, I adore Disney and constantly look online for merchandise to add to my collection. Being in the UK means there's not much available apart from kids clothing, toys, cups and stationary which I already have a lot of (not the kids clothing obviously!) and so I was delighted to find the cushion below. 
I was trailing the Tesco Direct sale page as I knew they had a lot of character cushions so figured it was worth a try to see if I could get a bargain. I saw the cushion below and instantly fell in love! 'Sleeping Beauty' is one of my top favourite films by Disney but there are few merchandising items based on it so I was ecstatic when this caught my eye. It cost £6 (absolute bargain) and I collected it in the store I work which meant free delivery.


The great thing about this item is that it seems to be one of the few things with an adult feel, that is, made more so for adults or so that adults can use as well. The picture is very sketchy which I love as obviously 'Sleeping Beauty' was all hand drawn and the quote is one of my favourites. The colours are beautiful, with the majority being pastel and can go with a variety of décor. The sizing is smaller than a typical cushion but big enough considering it's purely for decoration and therefore very much a great value for money. 
I would have happily paid around £12 for this item as it is not only actual Disney merchandise (as opposed to by Tesco) but the quality is very impressive and as I said, items like this are not common in the UK!

I shall definitely be keeping a closer eye on Tesco Direct for more home Disney items and if your a huge fan like me, its worth having a look. Prices are all justified by quality, free delivery is available and it's all authentic Disney so, you can't go wrong!

Thanks for reading,

Weekly Update - Nails and Make-up

Hello lovelies!
So todays just an update on what I've been doing with myself recently. I am back to university very soon and after my exam on Friday I have been catching up on much needed sleep as revision took over my life! I was also working an awful lot of hours but can finally rest until my uni trip on the 30th. 
I have been spending time with my other half and also had a great catch up with my best friend Ashley! Although I was horrifically hungover the next day it was nice to do something that doesn't involve uni or work. 



With extra time on my hands I have been trying to sort out clothing for my trip which involves waterproof clothing, old trainers and backpacks - not my usual choice. All that is crucial however I needed some girly time and so did my claws again! I have done a post on these falsies previously but the nail polish is gold glitter by Nail Inc and the coral colour is by Seventeen which I was very impressed with! I added a matte coat on top which I purchased from Sephora.
If like me you get bored of nails easily and don't want to either foot the bill for acrylics or lose your natural healthy nails then use stick ons! Its cheap, you can reuse them, take them off whenever you want and do whatever colours or patterns you feel like week to week!



I did have an awesome hair and make up day if I don't say so myself and so had to share. With less stress and anxiety my skin is improving plus I'm eating much healthier! My fringe is shorter but I need to make a hair appointment as mine is way too thick (it takes me 30-40 minutes to dry) and is driving me mad! However I want to wait until after my trip.
Make up is as normal with a Ted Baker lipstick which I love! I received a set of 4 colours last Christmas, all last so well and the colours are lovely!
My necklace is by Disney Couture, I got it as a gift and it's the caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland with the words 'who are you?'. I adore everything Disney and this my 'adult' way of showing it!

Thanks for reading, I'll be back tomorrow!

Disney's Magic Kingdom

Hello guys! So this post is mostly photographs from my trip to the Magic Kingdom in Florida. Of course this park is one of the most popular due to it having many of the Disney characters as well as Cinderella's castle.

On arriving (we had already purchased tickets) we were given the cutest '1st visit' badges to wear which were an awesome touch. Tons of people - adults, teenagers and kids wore them so it was great seeing everyone join in with something so simple.
As with all the parks the gardens are absolutely beautiful and well kept. The grass looks like it's truley from a Disney animation it's that green!


 Magic Kingdoms main attraction is main street which has hundreds of shops with souvenirs, clothes, ornaments etc in them. All shops looked straight out of a Disney film - big, bright and colourful. There was people singing, dancing and Disney characters everywhere - the place was just so fun and inviting.
Then of course there's Cinderella's castle which you see whilst walking down main street. Its massive and identical to the one in the original animation! The Disney characters preform on the front of the castle but you can walk through if there's nothing on.



Everything was just so large and overdone but absolutely nothing was tacky. It was actually like walking down a Disney film. Everyone was so friendly and the fact every single person embraced it was insane. Age doesn't matter here and that was my favourite part!


















 Of course there were rides in the park, mostly small ones and simulators but they were still great. Unfortunately our visit ended early as a huge thunderstorm hit but we did visit again. It was just an amazing feeling to be somewhere I wanted to go for a number of years and cannot wait to experience it again!


As always thank you for reading, my next post will either be a review or outfit post which I'll have up soon :)
