• Worked out I shall be very poor from said savings plan
• Started looking for my Octobers MCM Expo cosplay outfit!
• Had a nice catch up with my friends Lauren and Billy this month
• Girlie nights have got to the point where I am laughing all night and I am in pain when I get home!
• Started job searching. Again.
• Spent both May Bank holiday dates out with my dad!
• Bought a new bookcase and love it
• Began having a tidy out of my possessions
• Began Christmas shopping.. << Don't judge! I never have a lot of money at the end of the year, so I have to start really early just to spread the cost out! 
• Started getting photos printed so I can have some 'hard copies' of some of my memories
• Fell a little behind with regular posting on this blog (oops)

Seaworld: Antarctica - Empire of the Penguins

Hello everyone!

Today's post could be a little controversial, but this is something I have loved to watch for the past few weeks just for some down time. Seaworld Orlando's website, offers a livestreaming Penguin cam within the Antarctica section of the park. This was actually being constructed when I visited last April, so this is the only way I can see what I am missing!

The reason I say this might be controversial is due to the Blackfish documentary that came out last year, focusing on the Orca Whales and primarily Seaworld. Just to clear this up before you read on ~ Yes I have seen the documentary and thought it was very insightful, educational and eye-opening. However, I still like the idea of Seaworld as a theme park and I am still planning to go back there in 3 years time with my sister and Billy (who have also seen Blackfish), and my dad - who hasn't seen it. All four of us still want to go to the park, but my sister and Billy won't be coming to the Shamu show anymore. I still want to see it so my Dad isn't sitting alone in the stadium, but I won't think it to be as 'magical' as last time.

ANYWAY....The penguins have been quite entertaining to watch. A couple have slipped over, or just simply laid in the same spot for hours on end. I tend to have a look at the penguins in the morning (GMT time) which is roughly 4-5am in Florida. You can find the cam here. I took a few screen shots of the animals one morning and thought I would show you :)

This first picture was at 4am EST

5:50am one of the staff began to clear out all the old dirty ice/snow 

This little one ran past

Once the floor was chunky ice free and 'buffed', some of the penguins came back over

8am EST - Fresh ice is set down

11am EST - Tourists have been in the park for an hour or two by now and you can hear them through the webcam

12:10 PM (5:10pm GMT) - They were walking around quite happily and then I forgot to go back later!

Hope that you liked this post, and if you didn't then, I can understand it! Have you ever been to Seaworld or seen the Blackfish documentary? Thoughts and opinions? Hope you have a great day and keep safe :)

Disney Makeover | Snow White

Hello everyone!

I've recently had an influx of love for Disney, probably started by me planning a Disney World holiday in three years! I've had a lot of time spare recently, so have been watching some of the movies and listening to the soundtracks. Something I have seen on a lot of blogs over the eight months I have been blogging, are Disney idea posts. People have been posting fashion and beauty ideas inspired by Disney and I've loved them! So hopping aboard that bandwagon, I'm going to be doing a few fashion and beauty ideas for my take on some Disney characters :)

Little disclaimer: No this isn't an original idea and I know a lot of people do this. I am not trying to copy anyone in particular, I just like the posts I have seen!

Week One:

Top | Headband | Skirt | Shoes 

Blusher | Eye Shadow | Nail Polish | Lipstick | Mascara

Hope that you like this first installment of my Disney Makeovers! Will be uploading one of these each week :) Hope you have a great day and keep safe :)
