The Liebster Award!

Quite a while ago when I had just started blogging The Perks of being Me kindly nominated me for the Liebster Award. (Her blog is great, go and check it out if your are a Disney fanatic!) I just want to say thank you!! And I'm sorry it has taken me so long to respond. There is a reason as when I first started out I didn't have many people to nominate and I didn't want to nominate just some random blogs:) I have to be honest I did have to google the 'Liebster Award' before I knew what it was, but being nominated has wanted me to blog even more. 

So here are my 11 facts...
1. I love VW camper vans, my dream is to own one (especially a blue one;) 
2. I really enjoy designing things like interiors and cushions
3. I want a rabbit as a pet called Chip
4. Leading on from that; one of my favourite foods is chips!
5. About a year ago, I always dreamed of having a pet micro pig!
6. I love reading and watching films (who doesn't?)
7. I love John Green's books especially Paper Towns and Looking for Alaska
8. My favourite colour is turquoise
9. I really like receiving smellies as gifts like bath bombs and hand lotions:)
10. I enjoy tasting new food but hate raisins
11. I enjoy baking cakes and actually cooking in general

 I hope you learnt a bit about me from some of these facts!

The Perks of being Me questions...
1.What is your biggest pet peeve?
I can't name my biggest but one of my pet peeves is when someone eats loudly. I don't mind a small noise because that is understandable but when someone is standing next to you at the bus stop or something chewing really loudly on their chewing gum, I just cringe. It's like fingernails on a chalk board, haha.


2.What is my favourite flavour of ice cream?
I really love Ben&Jerry's cookie dough ice cream<3 I also love mango or passionfruit sorbet.

3. Favourite land in DisneyWorld?
This is hard. My childhood was filled with disney films, it's hard to choose one! I have to say I love the land in Tangled because of the green hills and the festivals in the castle. Especially the lights which are beautiful.

4. If you travel to one place in the world for 1 month for free where would you go and what would you see?
I would probably go to the Caribbean Islands because of the fabulous beaches and weather. I would probably spend my time swimming in the ocean and drinking smoothies out of coconuts! 

5. You have £1000 how do you spend it?
I would take my family on holiday somewhere nice or I would save it for the future because you never know what is going to happen;)

6. What is your life dream/goal?
I don't really have a life goal, I just want to be happy and see where the world takes me.

7. Do you collect anything, if so what?
I'm sad to say I don't really collect anything but I would love to one day to start a collection of something. I suppose we all collect memories, don't we?

8. What is your worst habit?
My worst habit is biting my nails, I hate this habit but I just can't stop.

9.Do you enjoy blogging?
Yes! I love it, I only just started last year but I'm already loving it and want to carry on more.

10. What would be the perfect wedding proposal be?
Well, I'm not really sure. I'm just going to let the future decide for me.

11. Your celebrity crush?
I know this is silly and everyone has a celebrity crush but at the moment I don't:(. I do have celebrities I like though of course!

A Little Day Out

The other weekend my mum and I drove out to visit some family members and the weather and location were too beautiful not to take a few snapshots. The first one was taken even before we set off. The frost was so pretty on our car windows and I loved the patterns.
 We went to a really cute cafe called The Old Barn. The presentation and taste of the food was amazing!! The chips came in a little basket and it was all placed on a slate.

Afterwards we walking along the shore and the sky was beautiful as the sun was setting.

I had a really good day and I hope you liked the post!

January Favourites!

I can't believe it is the first of February! Pinch, punch, first day of the month! Haha, is that just a British thing? Please tell me in the comments:) January has been a very busy month for me, it always is; starting school, new year, dentists, my sisters birthday...Anyways, this month I have been loving a lot of products.

My first one is an edible favourite! 
Areo Hot Chocolate- I just love the bubbles it creates on top and the taste is on point! *great with a sprinkle of mini marshmallows;)*
  

My second favourite is the Cranberry Joy Lip Balm from The Body Shop. I received this in my stocking at Christmas. It smells gorgeous and leaves your lips moisturised and soft. It also may look like a strange shape but it's a great application.

 I just finished the book Allegiant and OMG! What an end to a trilogy! I'm not going to spoil anything don't worry;) I loved this trilogy and definitely recommend it! The whole story had me gripped throughout it and the all the characters are so relateable.

 Leading on from that...I finally watched Divergent!! It is an amazing film and I absolutely love Theo James and Shailene Woodley. I personally think it stuck to the book very well but I know a lot of others disagree? I was on the edge of my seat through the whole thing! Another film I have loved this month is Big Hero 6. I went to see this at the cinema the other day and I have to admit it is one of my favourite Disney movies so far:) Baymax is just the nicest character ever! It even nearly made me cry..shh no one needs to know haha;)
Awww:*

A beauty favourite of mine has been the Chai Barry M Gelly nail polish. I have been kinda taken to the colour grey recently. Its finish is great and leaves a great shine. This is my first Barry M Gelly nail polish and I will be back for more of the other colours.

A clothes favourite has been my red bobble hat which I managed to pick up in TK Maxx for £5, a bargain! I love bobble hats and this one is such a gorgeous dark red colour.


That's it for this month! Thank you for reading and I hope you have an amazing February.
