Fancy Friday #4

Hello beautiful people :)

It's that time for another Fancy Friday!

Woot, woot!

My first favourite is a Bath and Body Works candle in the scent Gelato.

I am a massive fan of their candles.

I just love how this makes my room smell.

When it is burning, my room smells so sweet and fruity.

There are times when I'm burning candles and the scent gives me a headache.

But this isn't the case with this one.

The scent isn't too strong.

My second favourite shouldn't be a surprise!

I blogged about this Classic Disney film a few days ago!

You can check it out Here, if you haven't already!

I haven't stopped watching both films.

I love them so much!

I'm not sure why I haven't blogged about this product before.

I've had it for months and I fell in love with it after a week!

It's the Rimmel London Lash Accelerator in very black!

I have very short and straight eyelashes and most of the time I need to use two different mascaras in order for my lashes to be seen. 

This is the first mascara that I've used where I don't have to pair it with another mascara.

I think the formula is perfect, it isn't too dry.

It doesn't clump.

I love the applicator!

This is another product that I've owned for a while.

It's Elf's blush in Twinkle Pink.

I bought this last year whilst on a trip to Florida with my friends.

I didn't wear blush then, I bought it because it was $3 and for the sake of owning blush.

I didn't start wearing this until a few months ago, but I wear it every day now. 

I absolutely love it and it's my go-to blush.

I think the shade of pink is beautiful and I love the gold sparkles in it.

It's gorgeous on, I love the way it looks in the sun.

It gives you a nice colour whilst making you sparkle, slightly. 

Oh and the price is fantastic :)

The next thing that I've been fancy-ing this week is a phone app.

It's called Candy Crush.

I haven't been addicted to this game until this week!

I am constantly playing this game and getting very frustrated because I can't beat a level.

It is the most satisfying feeling when I finish a level that I've been stuck on for a while!

If you don't have this  on your phone already, I suggest you get it!

It's dangerously addicting!

This is my last favourite!

It's Pompeii by Bastille :)

I am in love with the entire Bad Blood album, but this is the first song that I've listened to by them. 

Lately, I've wanted to listen to this song a lot!

This song gets me pumped up and I like waking up to this because it gives me energy to get out of bed.

I love the lyrics and the music.

It makes me really happy.

I love listening to this in the car because it's a great song to jam out too whilst you're driving.

Well that's all for Fancy Friday!

I hope you had a great week :)

Mulan :)

Hello beautiful people :)

Three posts in one day?

Whaaaaat?!

I hope that I don't run out of things to blog about!

Fingers crossed.

So yesterday, I took a trip down to Walmart with my brother to buy a few things.

When I am there I always browse through the electronic section to see if there are any movies I want to buy.

Lately, I've been trying to build my Disney movie collection back up because all my VHS copies are hidden somewhere. 

I am in love with the Classic Disney films and I want to have DVD versions for my children to watch.

I've been searching for Mulan because I love this film, but I had the toughest time finding it.

Luckily, I found it yesterday in a combo pack with Mulan 2.

It blows my mind as to how frightening this film is for a Disney one.

This scared me as a child and still does!

It's not the typical princess love story, which is maybe why I like it so much.

(Don't get me wrong, I do love Snow White, Cinderella etc)

This film is all about honour and female empowering. 

Mulan makes an amazing transition from trying so hard to be the perfect wife to being the hero who saves China. 

It's clear in the film that women are supposed to be the perfect bride and keep their mouths shut.

The fact that Mulan ignores all of the rules to bring her family honour and protect her father is great. 

All women should feel great watching this movie because of the role Mulan plays.

There are certain points through this film that makes my heart stop and makes me feel truly sad. 

The scene after they sing A Girl Worth Fighting For where they see the burning village makes my heart sink.

Stuff like this happens all the time and seeing old houses on fire is very heart breaking.

Silence throughout that scene makes it even more dramatic.

Shortly after that scene there is the intense scene when they are in battle.

When Shan Yu and the Huns appear from the top of the mountain and start running down gives me goosebumps.

I'm not sure why exactly, but I get chills every single time.

My favourite line that Shang says before they prepare to fight is:

"If we die, we die with honour"

The look on the men's faces as he says that shows fear, yet they oblige because they know that they are there to fight for honour. 

Image

Now these three fellows add so much comedy to this film, really lightening up the mood. 

Yao, Ling and Chien-po are so funny, I can't help but laugh. 

They are such goofballs who have no idea what is going on. 

The battle scene when they decide to go help Mulan is one of my favourites.

As they run towards the Huns, they see the avalanche coming their way and immediately turn around trying to run back for safety.

Later on in that scene when Yao tries to save Mulan and Shang, my gosh I was laughing so hard when he failed and then miraculously managed to get a hold of the rope again.

I think it's great to have those certain characters who are really funny.

They really make a film enjoyable for me.

& The fact that these three are so different from each other makes it even better.

Another one of my favourite characters is Mushu

Image

His side comments and the delivery in his lines are fantastic!

He's such a comical character that any scene that he is in, you know it'll be funny. 

This is also my favourite song.

The acapella part is my favourite.

This song gets stuck in my head all the time.

I've been singing it all day!

I love everything about this film.

The animation is great, the songs are great and I love all the characters.

This is a film that my children will have to watch.

I am going to leave you with my favourite quote of the entire film

"The greatest gift and honour is having you for a daughter"

- Mulan's Father 

My baby watching Mulan with me :)

You should all go watch Mulan again.

Watching Disney films always reminds me of my childhood.

It's a great feeling :)

I hope you all enjoyed this!

30 Day Snap #3 | Mulan, Pup & Pinky Party

Hello beautiful people :)

This is my day in a nutshell. 

I'm spending majority of my day on my couch blogging with my puppy curled up in my feet and watching Mulan.

I have just repurchased a DVD copy of Mulan because I have misplaced my VHS version.

I love this film and will watch this over and over again.

I am working on a blog post solely dedicated to this film.

So stay tuned :)
