Disney 2016: Day 9

8:25 a.m.
Good morning! We are currently on our way to Epcot!

Today I'm wearing a tank top from Walmart that we had embroidered to match for our last trip, athletic shorts from Old Navy, a sports bra from Boone Belles, Tevas, my FitBit and Magic Band, and ears from Jane/Etsy! Except I forgot to take a picture that morning, so here is my mom and I being all cute!

And while I showed my mom and I being cute, I figured I might as well stick this in here too!  We did a special meet and greet for Disney Visa card holders in Epcot and this ended up being one of my favorite pictures from the entire trip!


10:20 a.m.
We got in a little early this morning, so we've already been here about an hour and a half and have already ridden Soarin' twice and Living with the Land!

We also got a chance to do The Seas with Nemo and friends, which is always a big hit!  It is a cute ride that never has a wait, with a little aquarium at the end!

I love catching starfish stuck to the glass!  Even though this one has an interesting middle...

Come on now, they had to put food in the spot or rig this somehow!  There was a big and little clown fish hanging around each other the whole time we were there!  It really was Nemo!

And then Turtle Talk with Crush... Even though it is geared toward little kids, it is super cute and we had to do it again!

We were also able to catch Test Track!  And I was pretty dang proud of the car I created, if I do say so myself.


2:25 p.m.
Just finished lunch at the Garden Grill!  We love this restaurant in The Land pavilion at Epcot because the fruit and veggies are grown in the Living with the Land ride.  The restaurant also slooooowly rotates like a big lazy susan, so the scenery is constantly changing!  The food is served family style and is all you can eat... and we sure do.  I forgot to take a picture of the food, which is horribly sad because it is one of the best meals of our entire trip, but I got a few of the characters!

It is the classic characters here, so Mickey, Pluto, Chip and Dale!  Look at Pluto posing!

High fives all around from the chipmunk!

So Pluto decided to sneak around the edge of the booth and scare me, as evidenced by my face in this picture!  He was so cute and playful!

We also went up the Canada side of the world at Epcot so we could hit a few more countries we missed or just really like!

How could we go to England and not use one of the telephone booths?

I loved the way this arch in Japan framed the golf ball.  If you can't tell by our second visit here, Japan is one of our favorite pavilions! 

So I went to use the restroom and it ended up being a sort of complicated place to get to.  But once I got back there, there was this little bridge with a pond and garden!  It was so cute, I don't know why Disney would hide it back in this little corner!

This is the inside sort of market area of the Japan pavilion with all of the candy and snacks! This is always a cool place to shop and try new things because for Disney, the prices really aren't that bad!  I always get the biggest box of Happy Panda cookies they have, they are my favorite!

5:40 p.m.
We just walked over to The Boardwalk via the International Gateway out of Epcot to get cupcakes... Let me tell you, I was extremely disappointed with their selection! Some of the best cupcakes I'd seen online in Disney were here and they didn't have anything! So now we are riding a boat back into Epcot.

After we got there we stopped off in France to get a few treats.  Though the cream filled things we got in Norway were my favorite, I got a raspberry lime macaroon and to was honestly amazing.


7:00 p.m.
Well, we were all killed and decided to come on in back to the room and make it an early night.

Last day in Epcot... I'll miss the way this lights up!

We ended up having a nap and then going down to our resort's food court for dinner around 8:30. I had a Turkey and Munster Sandwich on a croissant with homemade chips, and a cream cheese danish, and it was actually much better than I expected! After we finished we came back to the room, showered, and watched the Olympics... Except I was out pretty quick!

Review: Etsy Planner Stickers!

I decided back at the beginning of November to reach out to a few Etsy planner sticker shops in hopes that they would like to partner up with me for a review!  There were a few shops that truly stood out to me, which sent me stickers, and I have been truly enjoying using them!  Though the shops did send me these stickers for free, the opinions are completely my own. Lilly Top This sticker package was from Lilly Top.  She sent me five full sheets (from left to right): The New Year Party stickers , Spring stickers , Build a Tree Christmas stickers , Heart Check Marks in Solid Colors , and the Notebook Stickers with words .  She also sent me her small winter sampler with a ton of cute Christmas-y designs, and a small two sticker sample of more of the notebooks.  Overall, I have really enjoyed her stickers!  They have a nice matte look, so they are easy to write on.  I also noticed that if you are willing to pay a bit more, she will make certain s...

St. Ives Influenster VoxBox

Good news, I received another Influenster VoxBox!! This was a Holiday campaign following New Years, and was sponsored by St. Ives.  Now as always, I did receive these products for reviewing purposes, but all opinions are completely my own! Oatmeal Scrub and Mask If you are used to their ever popular Apricot Scrub, this is quite a different experience.  Where the Apricot Scrub has large abrasive pieces, the Oatmeal Scrub has smaller and gentler pieces, but significantly more of them.  This also has a much thicker and stickier consistency, with a smell that is reminiscent of sunscreen.  The way I chose to use this was as a mask.  I applied a generous amount to my face, rubbing in circular motions, making sure it was fully scrubbed and evenly covered.  The bottle recommends letting it soak in for 5-7 minutes.  After the lime elapsed, I put some water on my fingers and rewet the mask, scrubbing in circular motions once again, and then rinsed! ...

Homemade Beauty: Ice Facial

It may not sound very pleasant, but running an ice cube over your face has a ton of benefits for your skin! They will help to smooth your complexion by combating fat cells, easing wrinkles, fighting acne, and promoting blood circulation that will help heal past blemishes!  Be sure to  wrap the cubes  in a paper towel, or a baggie  because applying them directly to your skin can cause delicate blood vessels to break For an added  benefits to this  treatment, try freezing your cubes with watermelon, lemon, or rose!
