Disney 2016: Day 3

11:15 a.m.
Good morning lovelies, it's Disney Day!!

I have had a countdown going on my phone for almost a year now, so seeing that 0 was the greatest thing ever!

I got up about 8 this morning and went for a walk on the beach before it was time to go, and you will never believe what I found...

A baby sea turtle! I was running/walking at the edge of the water and just happened to notice it.  I know you aren't supposed to touch them, but it looked dead so I went ahead, and it moved!  I think it must have washed up and couldn't get back, so I just wanted to help...

I put it back in the water and it swam a little, so I hope it made it...  Seeing a live baby sea turtle not in an aquarium is a total dream of mine, and the fact that I got to pick it up and feel it's little heartbeat amazes me!

After that we got ready and went down for breakfast, packed up our things, and are now on our way to Disney!

Today I am wearing my favorite romper from Forever 21, my FitBit, and my magic band and ears since I can finally do that without people thinking I'm weird!

12:10 p.m.
We just got out of Walmart (there has never been a quick trip to Walmart...) and now we are on our way to the Disney Outlet before we go in to Disney!

3:30 p.m.
Well that was an ordeal and a half but it was definitely worth it! The outlet mall where the Character Warehouse is was a madhouse! But I got a couple of cute things, and a few presents, for significantly cheaper than they would have been in the parks, so I'd say that it was a success!

5:15 p.m.
We are here! We are staying at Allstar Music resort, and of the ones we've been to it definitely is not my favorite... But we are at Disney so it doesn't matter!


Tonight we are going to dinner at Captain Cooks at the Polynesian resort, and then watching the fireworks!
I had Nachos on homemade chips and they were really really good... I'd heard Captain Cooks was good, but I was impressed!

9:45 p.m.
We finished dinner a couple hours ago and since then we've been resort hopping between the Polynesian and the Grand Floridian.

Resort hopping is always a lot of fun because we get to enjoy a lot of the amenities of the deluxe resorts without paying the exorbitant prices!  Things like the live music at the Grand Floridian.

And the floor... I love the pretty designs on the floor.

They also have their own Basin, similar to the one in Disney Springs, but this is Basin White with cleaner scents and a few different products.

This is a view of the Grand Floridian after dark, it truly is a gorgeous resort.

We also spent some time at the Polynesian, my dream resort, before the fireworks and did some pictures at sunset!

I thought the sunset in this picture was gorgeous... These deck chairs are also where we watched the fireworks from with our Dole Whips!  They pipe in the music and you can just relax without any crowds and enjoy the fireworks. 
Afterwards we headed back to our resort to get ready for our first day in Disney!



Thank you all so much for reading! I thought it would be fun to have a little summer Disney sun to brighten up snowy winter days!  If you missed yesterday you can see Days 1 and 2 here, or go to the Disney 2016 tag to see the full series!

Emerald Isle Pics

I have been asked to post some more of my personal pictures of Emerald Isle since the last post I made, I actually haven't had the opportunity to go back since I got my new camera (and laptop) so I don't have any current pictures. I do happen to have some pictures of the beach (it was early spring and early in the morning, so they are kind of bland) that we went to on a school trip that is just a short distance up the island.  I hope you like them!! :) I PROMISE I will post some more (better ones) as soon as I can!

Nadine West: Fourth Shipment

So this wasn't the most successful shipment ever, but I still got one nice piece out of it!  And they left me a sweet surprise which I'll tell you about at the end, so I wasn't upset at all! This is actually two items from my shipment!  This outfit contains both the shirt and leggings from this month, and they kind of go together!   Though I really liked the pattern of the leggings, they are much more like tights.  They were totally see through, which made me pretty sad.  If they were marketed as tights then I wouldn't be too disappointed, but these were called Leggings.  They retailed for $14.49, and I didn't keep them. The shirt fit very well and was extremely comfy.  I have been looking for a shirt this color, so I was pretty excited to see it in my bag, even though it is pretty basic.  This shirt also retailed for $14.49, and I did elect to keep it! These are the "Beauty Within" earrings, and I'm actually pretty sure I received

Three Ways to Christmas Shop on the Cheap

Christmas shopping is something a lot of us tend to put off until the last second, and then are scrambling the week before Christmas to buy things just because you feel like you have to.  You end up buying something, at exorbitant obnoxious prices, that you know the person you are buying for won’t even like! I came up with a few ways you can get awesome presents, not have to kill yourself trying to get them at the last minute, and not break the bank... My first suggestion, is to shop in advance!  I know, this seems super simple, but you wouldn't believe the difference it makes to start a couple months in advance, and just buy things you know the person would like as you see them.  This year, I stopped in an antique shop on my way to work one day, just to look around.  I ended up leaving with this gorgeous bowl, mug, and tea set with I am planning to give to family members, and because the place was about to close down, I got them for half off the original price!
