2018 New Years Resolutions

Well hi-hey-hello there friends.
Welcome back to yet another blog post!

As I promised in my last entry, another little memo was sure to come and here it is, my New Years Resolutions for 2018. 

These will be a mixture of more general resolutions for myself, and ones for this creative outlet.

Number One

Upload Every Week.
I've been on YouTube for almost five years now, and its been a bit here there and everywhere... In 2017 I uploaded just over 52 videos in the year which was my resolution for that year. Therefore my resolution for 2018 is to continue uploading one video a week, and maybe try two videos a week!


Number Two

Graduate University.
Now surprisingly, this will definitely happen. I thought it'd be best to have something on my list of resolutions I definitely will do. I won't be able to attend my graduation along with my class, however I will be postponing it as I will be in Florida at the time.

Number Three

Do My First 5K Run.
I joined my first gym back in 2017 and I had decided to do my first 5K in December, however, that morning it snowed... So it didn't happen. I'd love to do it at a RunDisney event, however, anywhere will do!


Number Four

Become More Conscious of What I Put in my Body
You know how it goes, everyone makes promises to eat healthy, go to the gym, give up bad foods, then what happens? They give up on their promise less than a month in. That's why I've decided to become more conscious of what I put into my body, rather than restricting what I eat and how much I work out. 

Number Five

Read More Books!
I'm going to be doing an entire post all about the books I'd like to read in 2018, but I'd like to read more books and continue using Goodreads to monitor my reading progress!

General Blog Resolutions

I have a tendency to neglect my poor blog. However, my first resolution for the blog is to not fail the blog. This won't mean 'I promise to submit a new entry every week' but it means you better believe there's going to be things happening. 

Another important resolution is that I want to be as natural as possible. No more 'Oh dear, I don't have any ideas?!' I want this blog to be almost a diary entry and place for me to talk about what I like, dislike or cool things that have happened! 

 That's it from me!

I've also done a little video on my New Years Resolutions over on my YouTube channel so if you haven't already I'd go check that out! I'd love to hear what your resolutions are and how you plan to stick to them, so either comment below or @me on either Twitter or Instagram!

Hope you've enjoyed hearing my plans for 2018, I'll catch you next week for a more bookish blog post!

Disney CEP Final Interview Advice | Interview No.2

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. The first will ask you to book a time for your interview, they are usually spread over four days and you will have a chance to pick from a number of slots per day.  The second will ask you to create an account on DOC (Disney Onboarding Central) where you'll be asked to state your preferences on various roles.  You will also get an email from YummyJobs asking you to prepare a Proof of Student Status form, as well as photocopy your passport in order to upload to DOC and take to the interview. You will...

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

"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...
