Disney Wishlist


 
 
Hey guys!


Hope you're all having a great week! Today I'm back with my first Disney wishlist! I absolutely love checking out what Disney-themed products A Yellow Brick Blog's Kirstie is lusting over every month and it was only a matter of time before I fell victim to this trend. I've loved Disney ever since I was a kid, and both Amazon and the Disney Store have some fantastic themed items on offer.


1. Minnie Mouse Cosmetic Bag - £7.38 - How adorable is this?!


2. Cinderella mug - £5.47 - Though I'm not a fan of (regular) tea and coffee, I do love hot chocolate, and this mug is perfect! It's no secret that I'm a fan of Cinderella! This mug is a good price too!


3. Snowflake Earrings - £22 - Perfect for winter!


4. Frozen Tote Bag - £2.39 - Oh, I definitely need this! I love how simple it is, and it would come in handy now, what with the 5p bag charge! And it's a total bargain too!


5. Alice in Wonderland Notebook - £9.99 - I saw this notebook over at A Yellow Brick Blog and immediately added it to my list! The cover is so pretty (I apologise for the blurry version above).


6. Elsa Figurine - £50 - A little expensive, but so pretty!



I doubt it will be long before I give in and purchase one (or all) of these products! They're just so cute!


Hasta luego!

Blogs I Love


Hey guys!
As I spend a lot of time reading blogs, I thought that I'd share some of my favourite ones with you. These are a mixture of lifestyle, travel and food blogs.

1.  Poppy Loves- Poppy Loves is one of my favourite blogs. I love reading about all the wonderful
places in London that Poppy has visited. Her afternoon tea posts always make me hungry and crave cake! Just look at the meringues! Poppy has some great tips for bloggers too! And don't even get me started on how fabulous Poppy's photography is!

2. Pam Scalfi- Another blog I love! I've been reading Pam's blog for over half a year and I enjoy her outfit posts. Don't you just love this necklace?!

3. World of Wanderlust - I probably shouldn't be reading travel blogs as there are so many fantastic places I want to visit (some of which I mentioned in my Top Five Countries I'd Love to Visit post) and it's just not possible at the moment, but a girl can dream! Definitely check out the city guides if you're planning on visiting some of these places.

4. Sprinkle Bakes - This blog is really cake lover's paradise! This Jane Austen cake is too perfect to eat!

5. Fine and Dandy - I just need to visit a cat cafe ASAP! It's such a brilliant idea! And I definitely have to make some strawberries and cream cupcakes! Yummy!

6. A Yellow Brick Blog - If you love Disney (and let's face it, who doesn't?!), this blog is the one to read! I love Kirstie's regular Disney Wishlists- they're so cute!

Of course there are many other blogs that I love to read, but these are just a few! Do you read any of these blogs? What are your favourites?

My Third Year Bucket List


 
Hey guys!


Today I am going to share my bucket list for this year. I know it's almost the eight week of term, but better late than never, right? I still have over 20 weeks to complete this list so there's no rush.


1. Write more articles for the student newspapers.

I haven't had much inspiration for articles recently, but if I can manage between 8 and 12 before June that would be great. I've stuck to the food section in the past, so I think I'll try writing for another section this year, like Music, Film or TV.


2. Bake / cook more with flatmates.

Erm, so this hasn't really gone that well so far, but maybe I should suggest doing a roast at some point? And there's always Pancake Day...I didn't do nearly as much baking as I would have liked to last year, so I want to make up for it this year!


3. Attend a blogger event.

Not really uni-related, but there are some blogger events around Yorkshire (and London too, for when I'm back home). I was planning to go to an event in Liverpool last weekend but I decided to go home instead (to see kittens!). Hopefully I'll be able to attend the event at Kiehl's in a couple of weeks.



It seems to be forever hiding from me but cake. CAKE.


5. Go to King's Manor.

Because apparently it's a really awesome place (I'll believe it when I see it).


6.  Write a totally awesome dissertation.

And get a first for it! Because I've already spent hours doing the reading for m dissertation and it would be heartbreaking if I didn't get a first!


So those are my goals for my third year of uni! What would you like to achieve this year?


Hasta luego!

Tune Tuesday: November Playlist




Hey guys!


How are you all? I've just realised that this is my first blog post since Halloween! Hope you all enjoyed Halloween (and Bonfire Night too)! I went to a house party for a bit and dressed up as Carrie (from Carrie). My outfit kinda failed and people had to ask who I was, but oh well!


Today I will be sharing my playlist for November. As with my October playlist, this month's playlist will comprise of my favourite songs at the moment.


1. Confident - Demi Lovato

2. Perfect - One Direction

3. Hello - Adele

4. Hands Of Love - Miley Cyrus

5. Used to Love You - Gwen Stefani

6. Same Old Love - Selena Gomez

7. Sober - Selena Gomez

8. Night Like This - Hilary Duff



I'm absolutely loving Demi Lovato's Confident. It is so catchy! I could honestly listen to it over and over again! The same goes for Hilary Duff's Night Like This! I'm so glad she's still making music! It's great that Adele is back too! I'm kinda embarrassed to include One Direction but I do like their two most recent songs, Drag Me Down and Perfect. I'll be honest and say that I'm not really a fan of Selena Gonz but Sober and Same Old Love have been stuck in my head ever since I first heard them.


What are your favourite songs at the moment? What do you think of Adele's new song? I'd love to hear your thoughts!


Hasta luego!
