Now, being a Disney Princess isn't all it's cracked up to be. I mean, how do you think those Princesses keep their skin clean and clear? Okay, okay - I guess they do have magic and so a bit of "bibitty bobbity boo" can probably sort it all out. Unlike Disney Princesses, I don't have a fairy godmother to help sort out my skin, and let me tell you my skin really does need some help! I've dealt with oily skin and unwanted spots for a long time now, and the list of skin products I've tried goes on, and on, and on.

I suppose she was kind of kept in a tower for 99.9% of her life and so - well - she didn't have a life. But, I do. I've just finished my a-levels in Photography, English Literature and Textiles.

"I want to see the floating lights..."  A key quote without which our tale would have no adventure.  Welcome back to another wonderful week at Ramblings of the Internet's Disney Princess . Another day of dreams, another day of magic. Today, I'm going to let you into my secret as to how to make a little lantern from the Disney film Tangled . As you all know, Tangled is my favourite Disney film of all time. I feel unbelievably connected to it. I'm connected to one thing in particular; it's the symbolism of the floating lanterns and the sun. So when I had this idea to make this little Disney DIY, how could I resist?! Now to begin there's a couple of things you're going to need: - the insides of toilet rolls - acrylic paint - colouring pens - a black sharpie - a pencil - a pair of scissors - and string ~ Step One ~ The first step to making your little lanterns is to paint your toilet roll the colour of your choi...
