So as you may know, me and Sean ran away to Disneyland for a few days. This was my 3rd time there but Seans 1st so I wanted to make it really special. We went on all the best rides, ate at my favorite places, and acted like 4 year olds, it was amazing. 

On the first day we really only had time to grab dinner and have a look around the Disney Village before heading back for a well deserved sleep.

We did all the big rides on the second day, spending most of our time on Tower of Terror, which is my favorite. At 5 we settled down with a yummy hot chocolate and a muffin to watch the daily parade. After the park closed we had a quick dash back to the hotel to make ourselves pretty for the Dreams show and dinner at Planet Hollywood. The show was amazing. It really topped off a fantastic day and I was kind of sad we only got to see it once.

By the third day our lack of sleep because of the long journey down had really caught up with us and we spent a lot of time on the smaller rides and watching the shows. We decided to skip the parade this time and spent our last hour on our favorite rides. At the end of the third day it was time to prepare ourselves for an uncomfortable 12 hour journey home to Brum.

We had such a good time and I would 100% recommend a holiday there, even if you think you're a bit too old ;)

DISNEYLAND PARIS 2014

Liebster award logo

I've been nominated for the Liebster award by Bryony over at thebeautymagpie.com. I've seen this on a few blogs now and I'm happy to give it a go so thank you for the nomination! 




So here are the questions:



1. Where is your favorite place in the world? 

This is a tough one. I've been to so many beautiful places and its really hard to pick one, but if there's one place I could never get bored of its got to be Cornwall.

2. What beauty product could you not live without?

I need mascara. I have the smallest eyes ever and I will literally not leave the house without it. Vain I know.

3. What's a guilty pleasure of yours?

It has to be spending money. I love shopping. I love buying all sorts of everything, but my bank account definitely hates me for it.

4. What inspired you to start blogging?

I've always loved reading and looking at other peoples blogs and although I wouldn't say there was one particular person who inspired it I just thought it would be a nice thing to do.

5. Where do you see yourself in five years time?

Hopefully traveling the world with my camera and my Seany.

6. What is your favourite brand of makeup?

I buy all brands of makeup but number 7 is probably the one I buy the most.

7. Describe yourself in three words...

indecisive, impulsive, fortunate

8. What's your favourite film of all time and why?

Wow this is hard. It would probably have to be Marie Antoinette. The mixture of fabulous costumes, an amazing soundtrack and Kirsten Dunst just makes this film so perfect.

9. Handbags or shoes?

It has to be handbags. I have too many bags...

10. What is it about blogging that you enjoy the most?

I don't know, I just love capturing my life and sharing all the fun things I do.

11. Name one thing you feel really passionate about...

There's not a lot that makes my happier than traveling. I can't think of anything better than waking up in a new country and exploring. It makes me so sad to think there's places I will never see, but I am trying my best to go where I can.



Well that's all my questions answered! Now here's who I want to nominate:

nowthatspretty, abeautifuldelight, soinspo, styleandsushi, jdaisygauntlett


And here are your 11 questions:

1. Do you have a lucky number? why?

2. What's your biggest fear?

3. Where did your blog name come from?

4. What would be your perfect holiday?

5. What makes you happiest?

6. What's your favorite animal?

7. If you could only keep one piece of clothing what would you choose?

8. Do you believe in Ghosts? 

9. What is your favorite season and why?

10. What is your favorite place to shop?

11. If you could go back and change one mistake you made, what would it be and why?

LIEBSTER AWARD

On Sunday me and Sean took a little day trip to London. We went to all the usual touristy places like Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, The London Eye, Trafalgar Square, Piccadilly ect. We each bought an all day Tube pass so we could travel around and get anywhere we wanted.

After we visited the main tourist attractions I made sure we got a bit of shopping time in Camden. I'd never been to Camden before but it was amazing! As the self confessed shopaholic I am, this was paradise for me. Although I never really bought all that much,  I could have easily got lost for hours looking at all the different shops and stalls. Unfortunately though we were only there for the day and still had a lot to see.

We headed over to South Kensington to look at the museums but only had time for one so we picked the Natural History Museum. we spent most of the time looking at the dinosaur exhibitions which I didn't mind at all.

After the museum we grabbed some diner at Weatherspoons and set off for the Hard Rock Cafe where we had a couple of gorgeous cocktails. Then sadly it was time to get back to the coach station and head home.

What are your favorite things to do in the capital?

A DAY OUT IN LONDON

For Valentines Day Seany booked the most beautiful hotel in Birmingham for us. The little cutie got us a lovely room at the Radisson Blu hotel in the city center. He knew I'd always wanted to stay at 'the big blue hotel' and made sure I did.


We checked in just after 2pm, after an emergency stop at Primark for a black belt as I'd forgot to pack mine oops. We then went straight up to our beautiful room and admired the gorgeous view. The room was perfect. Me and Sean relaxed with a few cups of complimentary tea before taking a shower and getting ready to go for dinner. 

Two brown rucksacks in front of a large window. The smaller rucksack has multi coloured thread running through the body of it.

We had our Valentines dinner at Handmade Burger in the Bullring and it was delicious. We've never had a bad meal there but this was just amazing! I would 100% recommend eating there!

After dinner we made a little stop at Build a Bear Workshop and made our own teddy bears before heading back to our room.

When we got back I cracked open a couple bottles of wine and we sat looking out over Birmingham. I can't even begin to explain how lovely and relaxing it is just watching the world go by, especially when you can see for miles. 

Just before midnight we settled down to watch Bad Grandpa which is actually hilarious. We must have kept our neighbors awake with our laughing. After the film finished we decided to get some sleep but set our alarms for 7am so we could watch to sun rise over the city.

I wouldn't be valentines night without drinking wine in the candlelight now would it?

At 7 we woke up and waited for the sunrise. I couldn't really get a good photo, but it was lovely. We had a couple more hours sleep before waking up for a yummy full English breakfast and check out.
