Popcorn, bucket, Disney World, Walt Disney World, Magic Kingdom, Rides, Lifestyle
Before I headed off on my Disney adventure this summer I popped a post up on the blog about the rides that I hoped to do in Magic Kingdom when I got there - read it here. I thought it would be good to look back at it and see what I actually went on compared to what I wanted to originally.

Blogtober #30 - October Review


October, Review, Lifestyle, Look back, pumpkin, carving

As tomorrow will be a traditional Disney Wednesday post I thought I would use today to have a little look back at October and how it's gone. Kind of like a little month review. This is the first month in a long time I have been consistent with my blogging and I haven't given in so it seems fitting to take a look back over how October has been!

Blogtober #29 - My Make-Up Fails - Revisited


Beauty, Make-Up, Fails, Personal, Revisit, Lifestyle


Over three years ago I wrote a post about 'My Make-Up & Beauty Fails' and I thought it would be fun to revisit the post today and see if I have managed to make any improvements on the things that I used to be so bad at!

Blogtober #28 - Simple Micellar Facial Gel Wash


Simple, Skincare, face, wash, beauty, reviews

So it seems that I appear to have been writing a bit of a skincare series on Simple, without even realising it. I have recently popped up a post about the Simple Day Cream and the Simple Night Cream. The next product that I want to tell you all about is their Micellar Facial Gel Wash.

Blogtober #27 - Saturday Rituals


Molly, Dog, Pet, Lifestyle, Saturday, Rituals, Love, Personal, Happiness, Self love, Self Care, Mindfullness

Saturday's are wonderful, or at least I think they are. There is something lovely about them as I don't have to rush around in the dark to get ready for work and I can take things nice and slowly. I seem to have developed a few Saturday rituals and I thought I would share them.

Blogtober #26 - Kiko Unforgettable Mascara


Kiko, mascara, beauty, review, products
Quite a few months ago when I was doing some shopping in Belfast I came across the Kiko store. I had been told by my manager at work that I needed to try their mascara and if I found myself in their store then I needed to pick one up. So this is what I did!

Blogtober #25 - The October Blog Tag

Pumpkins, autumn, lifestyle, the October blog tag, blogtober, tag


I was recently scrolling through my Bloglovin' feed when I came across the October Blog Tag on the beautiful Jemma's blog Dorkface. She said at the end she would love to see the rest of us fill it in so I thought it would make the perfect Blogtober post.

Minnie Mouse, Minnie, Ears, Disney, Walt Disney World, Fast Pass, Tips

When you book a Walt Disney World trip the first thing that you will be thinking about after accommodation and flights are your fast passes. I have already put together a fast past fact list which you can read here. This is going to be my tips and tricks that I gathered from my last visit in August.

Blogtober #23 - Catch Up Time


lifestyle, catch up, chat, lists, personal
It's been a while since I just sat down and had a little catch up with you - although I feel like I am always saying that. Anyway, we have made it to day 23 of Blogtober, how I have made it this far I will never know but we have and this year I am determined to keep going, I really don't want to give up now.

Blogtober #22 - Monday Musings - Learning To Love Yourself

Thought, Lifestyle, Musing, Thought,

I decided not to do a Sunday Gratitudes this week as I didn't want it to become too repetitive - although have you seen the first and second? Instead of that I thought I would do a Monday Musings post and kick off your Monday and your week with a thought.

Blogtober #21 - Simple Vital Vitamin Night Cream


Simple, Vitamin, Vital Vitamin, Cream, Night Cream, Review

So not only am I using the Simple Day Cream for all my day needs but I decided that it would be very sensible - not something I refer to myself as often - to match it up with the night cream! I picked myself up the Simple Vital Vitamin Night Cream I have been using it for a few months now so this makes it the perfect time to let you know what I think.

Blogtober #20 - Bleach London Smoky Shampoo


Bleach London, Smoky Shampoo, Haircare, Beauty, Review

As I mentioned in my Thing's I'm Currently Loving post I changed my hair to an icy mauve colour in September - I need to get it redone soon. Hair maintenance is a huge thing for me so that I can maintain the gorgeous colours my hairdresser does for me and that means lots of different shampoos. For my new purple look my hairdresser recommended Bleach London Smoky Shampoo.

Blogtober #19 - Seeing Yourself Through Someone Else's Eyes


Lifestyle, Thought, Self Love, Self Care, Mindfulness

Today a thought went through my head and I had the idea that it could make a good post. I want to warn you now that this is going to be a wordy life thought post so if that isn't the kind of thing you like to read them come back tomorrow for another kind of post.

Blogtober #18 - NYX Butter Gloss


NYX, Make-Up, Beauty, Lip Gloss, Butter Gloss, Thoughts, Review
When I was picking up the NYX Lip Lingerie Liquid Lipstick I also noticed their range of butter glosses. Now I have been told my colleagues at work that I should pick these up to try them as they are amazing. I always shied away as I am usually not a lip gloss fan anymore - much prefer a matte lip. However, I thought when on holiday lets give things a go, so that's exactly what I did.

Disney Series #8 - Magic Kingdom is Magic - Part 2!



Welcome back to part 2 of the Magic Kingdom is magic posts - have you seen part one here?
We left off last time when we had just eaten at Colombia Harbour House so I will take you through the rest of the Magic Kingdom adventures we had!

Blogtober #16 - NYC Bucket List Vs The Reality


New York City, Bucket List, Reality, Lifestyle, Travel

So this is rather strange isn't it, talking about New York City even though it's been over a year since I went. On a side note, how has it been over a year since I was there, it feels like a dream - I think it's about time I figured out when I can go back!  Back to this post however, I thought it would be fun to compare the bucket list I wrote before I went to what I actually did when I was there.

Blogtober #15 - Simple Kind to Skin Protecting Light Moisturiser - My Thoughts!

skincare, Simple, Day Cream, Moisturiser, Simple Skin Care, Moisturiser, Review

When it comes to my daily moisturiser I am not very loyal except for the fact that I need to apply it every morning after I have washed may face. I had been using the L'Oreal Hydra Genius Moisturiser and went through two bottles in fact. When it ran out I decided that I needed to try something else and I picked up the Simple Kind to Skin Protecting Light Moisturiser.

Blogtober #14 - Sunday Gratitudes No.2



I enjoyed writing about my Sunday Gratitudes so much last week that I thought I would do the same this week. There is something so lovely about looking back at the positives in the week. We can all get bogged down with the negatives and that's just not generally good for our mental health!

Blogtober #13 - NYX Lip Lingerie Liquid Lipstick

Blogtober #11 - Updated Facts About Me


me, facts, lifestyle, about me

There is something about fact posts that I really love doing. I think it's great to get to know the people behind the blogs you read. It's been a while since I popped a fact post up here . I thought that it would be fun to go through the last long fact post I did and compare what I said then to now and see if anything has changed! You can read that post here

What is it about Disney, it just fills you with so many feelings and that's not always being in the parks that can be simply watching a Disney movie or looking at a Disney plush toy. The world of Disney and Disney lovers just go through so many feelings.

Blogtober #8 - Being A Dog Mummy - The Negatives

Pets, Dogs, Love, Negatives, Dog Owner, Truth, Life, Reality, Lifestyle, NI Blogger

I love being a dog mummy. I think you all know that about me by now, it really is one of life's truest gifts. It isn't always sunshine and rainbows though. I think it's important to see the balance in everything in life and sometimes we forget that with something as amazing as being the mummy to a gorgeous four legged friend and all the positives that brings, there can be some negatives.

Blogtober #7 - 5 Sunday Gratitudes


Sunday Gratitudes, Thankful, Lifestyle, Positive

These days I don't think we take enough time to look back at the things that we are thankful for. We spend so much time rushing around, going about our daily lives but do we ever take a moment to think back over the last week about what brought us the most joy?

Blogtober #6 - Covergirl TruBlend Foundation - First Impressions!


Foundation, Covergirl, Make-Up, Beauty, Review, Products

So it seems that I am quite the sucker for foundations. This is the second foundation post I have put up in a week about a product I picked up when I was in Florida. Last week I was talking about the Milani foundation. This week it's the Covergirl TruBlend foundation.

Blogtober #5 - The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Diagon Alley!


Harry Potter, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Universal Studios, Orlando, Florida

I know I have been doing lots of Disney posts but I didn't feel like this would fit in there so I decided to pop it up during Blogtober!

Blogtober #4 - Autumn & Winter Bucket List


Lifestyle, bookmarks, bucket list, autumn, lifestyle

This year I made the decision to not make a 2018 goals list and I think it has been quite freeing actually as I haven't felt like I have had to stick to any kind of set lists. As fun as it has been I thought it would be fun to think of a few things that I could put on a potential 'bucket list' for the Autumn & Winter months.

Disney Series #6 - Let's Talk Fast Passes - The Facts

Whether you are a planner or a 'play it by ear' kind of person I would thoroughly recommend making use of fast passes when you go to Walt Disney World.

Blogtober #1 - Why I Love Autumn - Take 2!


Autumn, Pumpkins, Lifestyle, Blogtober, NI Blogger,


Well here's a surprise, I am giving this 'Blogtober' thing a go - it even surprises me! I thought for the first post of this new series I would revisit an old post that I have written and redo it.
