If you like Pina Coladas .....for your body?

 Hello Lovlies! 
So today i am sharing with you the answer to summer in a scent! The other day i went into The Body Shop to check out their new Pinita Colada range that i have seen on a couple of blog posts! I originally went into to look at it for my mum for her Birthday because her favourite cocktail is a Pina Colada but i just couldn't resist it and had to pick it up for myself too. 
Im rubbish at describing scents but it actually smells like the cocktail so a mixture of Pineapple + Coconut = Summer in a scent , i really advise you to go in an have a sniff!























This range includes a number of different items i decided to pick up the Body Butter (£14)  and the Body Scrub (£15), i was actually able to get an amazing deal and was able to get both for £16, I'm not sure how long this offer is on for so head down there now to see if can snap up this deal. 
In the range there is also a Body Sorbet (£18), a Shower Gel (£5) and is available in a Gift Set (£25).

What is your favourite BS scent?
Let me know in the comments! 
Thanks for reading!

If you watch one thing today...

Hello again! 
Sorry i have been gone a while! Iv been very busy with uni and also getting ready to move to Orlando in two weeks! So to prepare myself for my new job at Disney World i thought it best that i do as much 'Disney' revision as possible, this is when i came across the film/documentary 'Walt Before Mickey' which is currently on Netflix, this is a must watch for any Disney fan or someone looking for a inspirational movie.  

The film follows the story of Walt Disney from a child to man, there was so much that i didn't know about Walt before watching this film, it was so interesting to see where he started with Laugh-O-Gram studios and also gave us a back ground on his family and love life. 

There are many familiar faces throughout the film including Thomas Ian Nicholas as Walt himself as well as Jon Heder as Roy Disney and most familiar to me was David Henrie from Wizards Of Waverly Place Rudy Ising and i feel as though everyone in the film played their part perfectly. 

At the end of the film i actually got quite emotional, it made me feel very proud that i am going to be working for the Disney Company, and had a tear in my eye when they show how Mickey Mouse was first made!This is a truly inspirational film and shows you that if you truly believe in your dreams they can come true!

If you prefer to read instead of watching the film this film was based on the Timothy S.Susanin which i am very interested in reading.

Have you seen this film?
What was your favourite part?

My Top Series To Watch!


Hello Lovlies! 
Today i thought i share with you my favourite online series which happen to all be American and even better are all on Netflix! So if your feeling stressed, having a relaxing night or like me need something to watch whilst you are procrastinating then why not give one of these series a try...

 1.Bates Motel 
Now this series has been my current obsession and have managed to watch all 3 series in around a week! Incase you don't know this series is based upon the film Psycho but don't worry you don't have watch the film because i haven't as the series is based before the film. This series is full of twist and turns and is pretty dark at times but i wouldn't say it was scary but i would definitely say its worth a watch if you like a good murder mystery.

2.Once Upon A Time 
This is one for all you fellow Disney lovers like me but they are not quite the happy and all singing stories you once knew, pretty much all of your favourite fairytale characters in one TV series! The story is set in a mystical town called StoryBrooke and its hard to describe this show without giving anything away but trust this series is full of magic, darkness and love stories.

3.Prison Break 
This is a series i never thought that id get into! I remember my brothers watching it when it was first released but think i was a bit too young to watch it back then. Last summer when i was in Cyprus we had the series box set with us and at night we would watch a couple of episodes and i was absolutely hooked, the moment we landed back home i put Netflix on and was made up that all of the series were no there!. The title kind of gives away the story that there is a bunch of men trying to escape from prison but it is so much more than that and is so clever it is a must need watch! (Like all of the series I'm going to mention, in my opinion).
 4.American Horror Story
Now I'm going to warn you this series wont be for everyone and at times it can be very creepy and weird and a little scary! But i absolutely love it, think my favourite series is the first one which is Murder House and i am yet to see Hotel. The cast is pretty much the same in each series with some changes but id give it a go and I'm if you like me you will love it!.

5.Vampire Diaries 
Personally i love a good vampire series! and you dont have to be a massive Twilight fan to watch (even though i am)as it very different, this series if full of love stories, murders, mystery, vampires, witches and werewolves! and I'm not going to lie there are some very handsome actors in this series so is worth a watch just to see them hehe! (I Love Ian Somerhalder).
6.Pretty Little Liars 
And to finish, here is one of my all time favourite series! Pretty Little Liars! Once again i know this isn't for everyone but if you do decided to watch this try and make it to the end of season one as a lot of people think the first few episode are quite slow. This series is full of twist and turns and makes you question every single character at some point. Incase you don't know its about a group of girls who have a bit of a stalker 'A' and thats all I'm going to say you just have to trust me and watch it!. 

So there you go, i hope you found something new to watch!
I am in need of a new series to watch, 
any recommendations?
Thankyou for reading!

Lots Of Love

Walt Disney World Tag!

Hello Lovlies! 
So today i thought id do a Walt Disney World Tag since i will be working their this summer! I had a look around for different tags and decided on this one,  may add in a couple of my own questions too! 
Please leave your answers to the questions below!
Here we gooo...

1-First time you went to Disney World?
I cant actually remember the first time i went to Disney World as i believe i was only 1! but i loved looking through pictures from my first trip! I was very lucky that my family went on quite a few florida holidays growing up! so many amazing memories from those holidays!. 

2- Favourite Park?
This is a hard question but I'm going to have to choose Magic Kingdom! its just so magical and for me is the most iconic park because of Cinderella's castle! I love all the rides and the lands and you cant beat a bit of Main Street USA! But second favourite would have to be MGM (now Hollywood Studios) because i love the shows that they have there.

3-Favourite land in Magic Kingdom?
I would have to say FantasyLand! Personally think its the most magical land! Plus that is were the carousel is!.

4- Favourite Disney Resort Hotel?
Personally i have never stayed in a Disney Resort, i have had a meal in the Contemporary Resort which was lovely! I have always loved the look of the Swan & Dolphin hotel because it just looks so fancy! When i go this summer i am staying the Art Of Animation Resort so I'm so excited! 

5-Favourite Snack?
Hands down Mickey's Premium Ice Cream Sandwich! Sooo good! 

6-Favourite Souvenir ?
Hmm would have to say the Mickey Ears are just a staple souvenir there are so many to choose from! But this year i am on the hunt for the Chip cup from Beauty & The Beast.

7-Favourite Ride?
This is tough one I'm not a massive dare devil when it comes to rides as already mentioned i love the carousel! but also like Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Space Mountain and of course the Tea Cups.


8- Favourite Show?
My favourite show has to be the Beauty & The Beast show! I have loved it since i was young and i believe is one of the reasons i fell in love with dancing and performing!Its a must see!.

9-Favourite Fireworks?
You cant beat Wishes! its just so magical and will bring you to tears! I also really like Epcots Illuminations as is lovely to see all the countries light up at night! 
10-Favourite pavilion in EPCOT?
Im going to have to be very patriotic and say the United Kingdom Pavilion, i just love too see a bit of my home in the USA and a little fun fact i took my first steps in EPCOT!.

11-What colour is your magic band?
The Magic Band system wasn't around the last time i was in Orlando but this year i have chosen to have a pink one and I'm so excited to get it!.

12- Favourite character to meet?
Going to have to say Alice i just love her quirky english accent and is just funny! I really want to meet Gaston this year as i have never met him before and from the many videos i have seen of him he seems hilarious!.

13- Best Disney Memory?
This one is really hard because there are literally so many i could choose! but something that was pretty magical was that i saw someone propose in front of the castle it was so amazing and i was like proposal goals or what! But I'm looking forward to making many more memories this summer!Doubt i will be getting proposed too in front of the castle but you never know i may find my Prince Charming!

14-Top of Disney World Bucket List?
I think i may actually great a post on my Disney Bucket List that i am making for this summer! But at the top of my head is to visit all 4 parks in one day (excluding the water parks)! fitting all that magic into one day will be a challenge!

Thanks for reading!
Let me know your answers below
See you again real soon!

Is Dance a real degree ??...Yes!

Hello Lovlies!

So incase you didn't already know i am currently studying Dance at University and am in my second year and i am very fortunate that i really do love my course but of course there are those times were i want to throw my laptop across the room but someone manage to pull through. 

Being a dancer/dance student comes with a lot of controversy with some people as well as other university students and we are met with a lot of questions that do sometimes leave us a bit baffled or annoyed. This isn't a rant post at all i just thought i would let you know some of the questions that i have been asked in the past and what i would like to say to some people as i usually just tend to laugh it off to avoid a massive debate as i can get very protective over my art!Me and my fellow course members are always chatting about this so here we go... 

Do you just dance around in a studio all day??
Some people may find it surprising but the answer to this is no! yes of course we do have dance classes but a lot of our time is spent outside of the dance studio especially in second year, there is actually more to a dance degree than just dancing (trust me i could just dance and get a degree)

Do you have theory work?
Yes! and a lot of it, honestly even i was surprised with the amount of theory work that comes with doing a dance degree! As well as being taught how to be professional dancers we are learning how to be teachers, how the body works, dance history and dance appreciation. Trust me when i say the theory does actually out way the practical but its something we have to do so that we can better ourselves as dancers. Yes dancers so essays too!

Is it a full time course?
Being on Dance degree is a full time course even if we are not actually in university every day, we are either in rehearsal, in the library or taking part in extra classes, being a dancer isn't just a hobby its a life choice and there are many sacrifices that come with this. I am constantly either covered in bruises or have some kind of injury or pain somewhere in my body and am often very tired especially when you try and fit in a job and socialising at the same time. 

But what can you do with a Dance degree?
There are literally so many different career paths that i could go down and since going to university my eyes have been opened to the industry and all the possibilities out there. Of course there are the obvious choices of performing, joining a company, being in music videos to teaching, opening your own dance school, choreographing, physiotherapy, backstage  work the possibilities are honestly endless. 

Is it just full of girls?
Thankfully we now live in a society where it is a lot more socially accepted for both females and males to dance, yes the majority of year is girls with one boy but there are lads in other years and they are all equally was talented.You should be able to express yourself through dance whatever gender, age, size you are.



So there you go a couple of things that dancers often get asked!
There are many more and i could go on and one so
if you want another post let me know!
Do you have any dance questions for me?
Thanks for reading 

Lots Of Love

Moose Coffee- Dale Street, Liverpool

Hello Lovlies!

So on Valentines Day weekend by lovely Boyfriend treated me to breakfast and he recommend Moose Coffee Cafe which is on Dale Street in Liverpool City Centre, now i love breakfast so of course i needed t give this place a go. 
Now i do warn you, you may want to book in advance as it is only quite small, we had to wait around 30 minutes ,which isn't too bad we just looked around the shops and was well worth the wait. They serve their breakfast menu all day until 6pm depending on the day you go which is amazing. 
The restaurant has a very american style which i loved and there was quirky art work on the wall of Moose's which contrast with the elegant/vintage feel of the restaurant. 

When i first looked at the menu i was like 'what am i going to choose', the possibilities were endless!and also the prices were very reasonable. 




I wanted to try something different so i went for the Double Dutch which was two massive (and i mean massive) pancakes filled with bacon and sausage topped with two friend eggs and served with a side of butter and maybe syrup! I am not going to lie for me it was like Man (or Women) V Food and Food defiantly won, i probably made it through a quarter of the first pancake and had one of the eggs! very tasty a strange combination but actually worked was just far too much for me. My Boyfriend loved him i believed he order a kind potato mash mixed with other breakfast bits! he loved it anyway. 

I would also really recommend their shakes but if i was to go again i would probably share as they didn't help me finish my breakfast as i was nearly full just off that, I got the Oreo one which was amazing and my Boyfriend got Cookie Dough which was equally as yummy.

I would highly recommend this restaurant and would go back again both the food and staff were lovely and cant wait to take my family and friends in the future. I believe there is also one in Manchester and Crosby if either of them are closer to you!Click here and it will take you over to their official website for more information and their full menu.

Thanks for reading 
and let me know...
What is your favourite 
breakfast meal?

Lush Spa Liverpool -The Comforter Treatment!

 Hello Lovlies!
For Christmas my lovely older brother treated me to a spa voucher for The Comforter Treatment at the Lush Liverpool Spa!Whilst working at Lush over Christmas i would talk to customers about our spa and talk about the amazing treatments available but i had never actually had one of them myself! So when my brother asked what i would like for Christmas i may have hinted towards a treatment at Lush! He asked which one i would like which was a hard choice but i decided to go for The Comforter as I'm a massive fan of everything sweet and chocolaty.
I also bought my mum a spa voucher for Christmas and for her i chose to buy her the Spell treatment which is a treatment that focuses mainly of the foot area. I felt as though this treatment would be perfect for my mum as she is a nurse and is constantly on her feet and Lush believe that you hold a lot of your stresses in your feet!.





So when we arrived at the Lush store we were kindly greater by the staff who then took us straight over to the till and took our vouchers, now i may seem bias but the Lush Liverpool staff to me are the mostly friendliest people you will find!.After this we were given the option to look around the store or to wait in a more quite area at the bottom of the spa stairs which was the option we took as the
store was quite busy with in being half term.
One it was time for our treatments were met by two lovely spa therapist and were taken up to the spa area upstairs.

As soon as you enter the spa it will remind you of your Grannies home with vintage knick knacks and the homely feel it has. To start the lovely Vicky sat me down and asked if i wanted a glass of water and then went on to tell me more about the treatment and more about the products that are used though out the treatment, I then just had to fill in a quick health form.


 I was then taken into my treatment room as soon as i walked into the room i felt as though i had been transported 'into a world of pure imagination'. I was left to get undressed and had a little bell to ring when i was ready. One of the highlights of the treatment for me was actually the music that was playing throughout, it was covers of well know movies from films and i defiantly want to buy the soundtrack which is available in the store or on ITunes and Spotify.
The massage itself has equally as amazing i was wrapped up night and warm with a big duvet and lay on a heated bed and had a lovely eye mask ,i am surprised i never fell asleep. The therapist would only work on one area of my body at a time and when done would tuck me back under the cover so i stayed all toasty.
The products used were absolutely gorgeous , there was a hot chocolate scrub which was taken off by hot mitten and then followed with a lovely rose type
oil.



I suffer a lot from back pain and generally muscle pain because i am studying dance and pain just kind of comes with the job so it was lovely to have those areas worked but in a way that wasn't painful but i could feel my whole body relaxing.
After the treatment was over i was able to lie in the bed until i felt ready to get up and get changed not going to lie i lay there for a bit staring up at the galaxy of lights that were above wishing i was actually in bed.
Once i was ready i made my way back out to the kitchen where i was met by the lovely Vicky who sat me down and gave me a glass of candy floss, she then poured over some soda water and reminded me 'to never take life too seriously' which was a lovely way to end the treatment. My mum really loved her treatment and we defiantly want to go back again and is a great idea to go with someone like your mum, sister, nan or even your partner or friend as Lush do offer double treatment rooms.

I would like to thank The Lush Spa Liverpool for an amazing afternoon and i would highly recommend their treatments to anyone!

Thanks for reading!
Have you had any of the treatment?
Let me know!

Lots Of Love
Holly
