DISNEY

IMG_0441

I am 100% a believer in the magic of Disney, which you have to be to enjoy the happiest place on earth.

Animal Kingdom literally blew my mind, it is a zoo on crack, from ALL the animals, the rides and the parade. I was expecting to like it but not LOVE it, and honestly I wouldnt skip it.

Epcot on the other hand mixes learning and fun, and if that's is your deal you will love it. I enjoyed it of course, but if I were to rate them it would be the bottom of the list.

I enjoyed this little treat in the America Pavillion, MMM!

I enjoyed this treat while watching Indiana Jones, which is an amazing classic, Hollywood Studios is home to my second favourite ride of the trip, the Toy Story ride, is a 3D interactive ride where you play kind of arcade games, literally the most fun I've ever had.

and we saved the best for last, Magic Kingdom!

Words cannot describe how much I loved Magic Kingdom, from when the park opened to every ride we went on, it literally is pure FUN!

Florida: Universal Studios

This summer, I headed to a place I have been dying to go since 1998 (the last time I was there)... Florida!

I pretty much had the best vacation ever so here are some photos from being in Universal Studios!

I was obsessed with the Seuss part of the park, it was just so bright and fun!

The Simpsons are new-ish to the park and if you were ever a fan of the show, you will be so impressed, I loved it and the ride was so much fun

and finally the part that I was unsure how much I would enjoy, because I am not a Harry Potter fan, ended up being my favourite part of Universal

The Harry Potter part of the park was unreal, they literally take you into that world. The ride was the most fun, waiting in line they take you through Hogwarts and is an experience. Once you actually reach the ride you are "flying on a broom" and it was one of the best rides ever.

Also, you MUST to try the frozen butter beer because it is the most delicious thing on this planet!

My Life Saver

(yes I do picture the title being sang a la J.Biebs)


I am awful when it comes to taking care of myself when it comes to the sun, and I won't lie I love getting a tan because I am typically the colour of paper. Which leads to getting burnt, bright red skin that needs a little TLC. And I present to you the Healer: Banana Boat Moisturizing Aloe Aftersun. I slather this stuff on morning and night and if the burn is really bad, whenever it starts to hurt I slap some more on. It keeps me from peeling and sets into the skin pretty quickly. Just try it out, its inexpensive and can be found in most drugstores and although I do not recommend putting it on your face as it makes it shiny, when you are desperate, you are desperate and it didn't cause any breakouts on my face!

shocking!


This colour China Glaze Shocking Pink is absolutely gorgeous, however that is the only thing I would put as a "PRO" if I were to rate it. It looks so nice on tanned skin, however you must apply three coats because it is so incredibly streaky, and then a top coat because it appears almost matte without one, and to top it all off it chips easily (note my thumb). I have come to terms that I hate china glaze nail polish, they produce pretty colours, that are awful nail polishes that aren't cost effective either. I put less effort into applying my $2.50 Sally Hansen polishes that sometimes go on better, as I do with CG, and do not appreciate when I spend $8 on a polish to run into these troubles. So while I'll continue to wear it, I have officially sworn off China Glaze. Save your pennies and buy more expensive, better quality or buy the $2.50 polishes, but either way get what you pay for.

summer end sales

IMG_0031

Summer is ending, which is always depressing however summer end sales are always exhilarating. I had to share my purchases with you guys because they were so thrilling.I'm going on vacation to Florida so still wanted new fun stuff to wear, while strolling through the Material Girl racks at The Bay found incredible deals. Everything was on sale and then 30% off, the dress was $13 dollars, and the shorts $11 ! Crazy, then I needed a hat because although I have never burnt my scalp in 21 years, my mother is convinced the Florida sun will do so. So I went searching, which is impossible to find cute summer hats at the end of summer, but alas I went to the men's section in The Bay and found this beauty for $5, after the mark-downs and percentages off. And put the icing on the cake, I had used six products up at MAC and got a free eye shadow, Copperplate which is a gorgeous matte grey.
Although your eyes may be wet, with the impending doom of cold weather, dry your eyes my dear friends with your summer end purchases!

Shake the Glitter, Shake Shake Shake the Glitter.

DSC03905

I am in love with glitter nail polish, especially this one. It reminds me of Katy Perry, I'm not sure why. I have the colour Persian Blue by Joe Fresh underneath, and this Rockstar Pink by Sally Hansen.
This nail polish is extremely inexpensive, $2.50 at Wal-Mart however I have had other glitter nail polishes from this line and they don't last even 9 months so beware.

You do not need a nailpolish underneath I just wanted to, the glitter is very fine and blue, silver, gold, red and magenta but be sure to put a top coat on so the glitter doesn't catch on things.

I love it. I love Glitter. And if you're terrified of removing it, you need to get your paws on some 100% pure acetone (which you can also puchase at Wal-Mart), a cotton pad, hold it on the nail and wipe away!
