New App Review | Free Prints

Hello everyone!

I was looking for some new apps for my iPod Touch the other day and I found a wonderful little gem in the free section! This app is called 'Free Prints' which is a photo printing company. I thought it sounded interesting, so I had a little look, downloaded it and explored a little more.

This is why I love this app. You get 45 FREE prints per month, all 6x4 images, glossy print and high quality. You only pay for the postage and packaging, which will never exceed £3.99. If you want any other sizes, or more than your 45 free images, you will be charged accordingly. The 45 free images renews the first day of every calendar month, so you can get 500 prints per year. Again, thinking this too good to be true, I decided to order some and see what happened.



To pic images to print, you can have ones from your devices, instagram, facebook, a dropbox or flikr. I sent all my images to my dropbox on my laptop, and then via the Free Prints app, I selected that option and the pictures I wanted to choose.

I ordered 40 pictures of my America 2013 trip, all 6x4 images, so I only had to pay £1.49 p+p. It will take between 5-10 for the images to arrive, maybe a little longer depending on where you live. I ordered my pictures Monday 12th May, and got them yesterday (19th May). I am so happy with what I got, and the pictures are such good quality!






The packaging is a sturdy cardboard envelope with a smaller photo holder inside for the images. I am so happy with how these images turned out. Super high quality and nice and glossy! It's exactly how you would expect them to be done if you took them to a photo developers. I've since ordered more from the company for some photo frames as I am so pleased with these.

The other image sizes you can get are: 8x12, 10x15, 12x18, 24x36 and 30x40 which you will be charged for. All the details can be found on the app information tab or on the app's website. You can primarily order from the app, but you can also buy them from the company website.

Have you tried this service yet, or would like to? Let me know in the comments if you have as I would love to know your opinions! Hope you are having a great day and keep safe :)

The Disney Tag

Hello everyone!

I saw this tag on the wonderful Kirstie's Yellow Brick Blog the other day and thought I needed to do it! I've seen a lot of the on YouTube recently and a few other bloggers have done this as well, and I wanted to jump on the bandwagon! So here are my answers!


1 - Fave Disney Film?
Mulan has always been my favourite since I was a child! However, since I saw Tangled at the start of this year (yes I'm a bit slow on catching up) I fell in love with it. Mulan and Tangled are very different, and I love the songs in all of them, and I just want to pinch their cheeks.

2 - Fave Disney Character?
Rapunzel. Had I seen Tangled before I met her last April in Florida, I would have been a lot more excited! I love how funny the character is and the hair is pretty epic too! Imagine all those beauty products she must have tried...

3 - Fave Disney Princess?
Cinderella. I used to watch this at least once a week when I was younger, just because her dress was amazing and she had little rats working for her! And she has the whole rags to riches story which I love :)

4 - Rather be Aurora or Cinderella?
Cinderella as I can't really remember Sleeping Beauty very well! Cinderella gets to have a magical ball, a fairy godmother and then gets to be with Prince Charming? Sign me up! I'll not take the step mother and sisters though!

5 - Rather be Hercules or Tarzan
I've honestly never seen Hercules, and I only saw Tarzan once or twice, so Tarzan it shall be!

6 - Rather be Lizzie McGuire or Raven Baxter?
Lizzie! I didn't really watch Raven that much, but I have seen every Lizzie McGuire episode going, seen the movie and read the books. Her life was never dull, and her parents were hilarious.

7 - Fave Disney Song?
This is a tough one. I have a number that I love, but my faves have to be 'Circle of Life' from the Lion King, 'I'll Make A Man Out Of You' from Mulan, and 'I've Got A Dream' from Tangled!

8 - Which Disney character would be your best friend?
Rapunzel, mainly for the fact she is incredibly clumsy for the best part of the film and uses a frying pan as her main weapon. I adored this film, and I was in shock when her hair got cut - I'm still not over this!

9 - Which Disney character would be your pet?
Gus from Cinderella! I have no love at all for rats or rodents. But the little chunky Gus from Cinderella is damn cute and I think he is adorable! As a secondary backup, Pascal and Maximus from Tangled as they are the funniest duo I've seen in a Disney film for ages!

10 - Have you ever been to Disneyland?
Yes, I went for the first time in February 2001, and then in April 2013! A part from a few park name changes, expansions of the parks and new rides, the magical feeling was still there 12 years later! I loved seeing the castle, and meeting Mickey Mouse and some of the Princesses one day, and I love the pictures I have with them. I'm hoping to go back in 2017 with my Dad, Sister and my friend Billy as I need to go back and get more pictures of the place!



Hope you liked this and if you like Disney, why don't you do it to? Hope you have a great day and keep safe :)

Disney Nails | Beauty

Hello everyone!

I've carried on with practicing nail art again, and this time my inspiration came from my Canadian friend Shannie, who had hers done professionally a few weeks ago. She'd put a picture of them on her Facebook and I was tempted to try and this is how it turned out!


For this I used: Rimmel Double Decker Bus - Collection 2000 French Manicure White - Cutex Night Run - Collection 2000 Top Coat


Firstly I painted my pinky, middle finger and thumb red, the index finger was painted with white, and my pointer was painted with black. I used two coats of each. 


Next I dotted white spots with a nail tool on my pinky and pointer, and then done the same with black spots on my index finger. 
Next to create Mickey heads, I used a large dotting tool and made a small circle in white and black on my middle finger and thumb. Then with a smaller dotting tool, I added the ears! And the look was done!


I added a top coat an hour later so it was all completely dry! 

Will you try this yourself or done any other Disney nail art? Let me know with a comment below :) I'm really happy with how these turned out and I think they will be perfect for my possible Orlando trip in a couple of years! 

Hope you're having a great day and keep safe :)
