Comic Con, Cosplay & Disneyland

Hello there my little dreamers! 

Long time, no see... Am I right? I'm so sorry for taking my time to get back to you all. I've been super busy working, studying and well, adventuring! 

I guess the question is, what's happened since February - seems so long ago! Let me tell you, quite a few things... Shall we start at the beginning?

I finished my second year of University - yay! I've completed second year with a 2:1 and a grade of 63 overall. I'm very happy with this, I worked so hard this year to get this grade, and hopefully, I'll work even harder next year to maintain it. Speaking of next year... I chose my modules for my final year and they are: Dissertation; Work Placement; Visual Research; Internet, Democracy & Society; The Modern Vampire; and Japanese. Yep, you heard me, I've decided to learn Japanese... If you want to follow my Japanese Journey, I've started a little series on my YouTube channel!

Next up... Comic Con! My last blog post was my cosplay update. As I'm sure you're all aware, I cosplayed as Aurora from Disney's 'Sleeping Beauty' at this year's May Comic Con. It wasn't my best piece of work... Hence why there's only one photo of it. However, I can now tick it off my cosplay bucketlist! I really want to get into more cosplay related things and making my cosplays bigger and better, because of this, expect more Cosplay Diaries!

We're almost there. 

Finally, the last thing that's kept me from my blogging duties... From the 1st to 4th June, I was in Disneyland Paris  with my boyfriend, and it was AMAZING! If you fancy seeing what we got up to, I vlogged the entire trip and you can find a playlist to the videos HERE! We also spent the 5th in Paris' itself, and it was amazing, we saw the Eiffel Tower, Arch de Triumph, Moulin Rouge, adventured around Mon Matre, and so much more! 

In between all that I've been working twenty-four hours a week, keeping up-to-date with my YouTube channel (I'm currently uploading up to three videos a week!) and slowing moving all my things home as my tenancy comes to an end.

However, as July is just around the corner, as is Camp NaNoWriMo. I took part in National Novel Writing Month back in November 2016 - it didn't go to plan... However, inspired by fellow blogger Nic Ooh La La, I'm going to be taking part in Camp NaNoWriMo to motivate myself to get back into blogging. Each day I'm going to aim to write 1,500 words (one blog post) and they'll be released every Monday all the way through to January 2018. So you're all in for a treat!

Until then, thank you for reading this little rambling, I hope you enjoy learning about my adventures. Hopefully there will be more to come! 

Catch you all next time...

Well, hi-hey-hello there friends! If you're reading this, then the last leg of the journey is almost here! If you're reading this then I assume you've got a lovely email saying 'CONGRATULATIONS', welcoming you to your one-on-one interview at the headquarters of the Walt Disney Company in London! Before You Go! After getting the initial email, you will soon get a few more. It is important to make sure you accomplish everything prior to your interview.

Well, hi-hey-hello there friends, it's another sunny Saturday and I'm here yet again to sprinkle some Disney magic into your day!  Now, I am assuming you're here because similarly to my previous posts, you wanna work at Disney World, correct? Well, you are in the right place! Within this blog post, I'll be telling you my tales of attending two different Pre-Screen Interviews; being rejected and accepted.  We're gonna travel back in time to September 2016, my first Pre-Screen interview.  I was invited to my first pre-screen on the Tuesday 27th September 2016. The event takes place in Epping, in Essex though you can travel there on the Central Line from London. It comprised of a presentation, then a group interview. At first, we had to talk to others sat next to us, then we were asked questions specific to the program and why we're interested in it. On Friday 14th October 2016, I got an email from YummyJobs rejecting my application. What happe...

'The Black Pearl' Candle by Maple & Whisky

Image
"Yo ho, yo ho - a pirates life for me..." Ever since I was little, my favourite ride has always been the Pirates of the Caribbean ride in Disneyland Paris. I've been obsessed with the franchise since I was about nine, when I was given all the films for Christmas.  When I heard a Etsy shop by the name of Maple and Whisky were creating Disney-inspired candles, I jumped at the chance to purchase one.  And so I did! I decided to treat myself to their newest candle, The Black Pearl . As pictured above, I bought myself the smaller addition in the 8oz jar (larger being 12oz) for only £8.30. All candles are handmade to order, and the company gives you the option of two different wicks and waxes.  I got mine custom made with a woodwick and a paraffin soy blend wax. The paraffin soy blend wax gives the candle a really powerful fragrance which makes the musky scent even more alluring and tasteful.  " You've seen a ship with black sails, th...
