“Are they represented at Disney?” Part 1: Snow White

Whenever I visit a Disney Park, I always have a plan on where I want to go and who I want to meet. There are a few chances where I am on the search for a gift for some time and am looking all over the place for that one character. This is a new series I want to talk about where I talk about finding certain Disney characters in the park and how good are they represented in the Disney family.  Our…

This week I am celebrating Snow White’s 80th Anniversary by dedicating the week to her. I want to discuss why I believe that Snow White is the most important character from Disney, maybe even more important than Mickey Mouse. Let me explain. After Walt lost the rights to Oswald, he wanted to create a character that was his own (Mickey) who ended up becoming the most popular cartoon of his time.…

This week I am celebrating Snow White’s 80th Anniversary by dedicating the week to her. Today I am going to talk all the Besame Cosmetics Snow White collection and some of the Walgreens collections that have appeared with Elf within the last few years. As a fan of Besame Cosmetics, when I heard they were coming out with this collection as their first official collaboration with Disney (Besame was…

This is my continuing posts on the Disney Princesses and if they are good enough role models for girls. I am going to be talking about Jasmine, Pocahontas, Mulan, and Tiana. Jasmine She feels trapped in her own house and the only freedom she has at her age is the prince she is legally supposed to marry to rule the kingdom. She wants to be free to explore and be around the people she is supposed…

It’s that time of year where Christmas movies are all over the place to purchase at your local stores. This is one of my favorite genres of movies to watch year round (yes I am one of those people who watches Christmas movies all the time). As someone who loves these movies, I thought it would be nice to make a list and explain why I love them. White Christmas I found this movie a few years ago…

Today is Walt Disney’s birthday! In honor of his birthday, I’m going to share my favorite facts about him and talk about what he means to me as a role model and a person. The facts I’m going to be talking about are from: https://www.inc.com/larry-kim/31-surprising-facts-about-walt-disney.html “Disney’s French family name was originally D’Isigny before being Anglicized to Disney.” My family…

Every year I plan a trip to my second favorite place in California and when I bring up the name, most people don’t know it even exists. Even people who are born and raised here don’t even know about this wonderful place. So when this happens, I usually go into my “tour guide” mood and talk about the history of the castle.  While I won’t talk about the history of the castle today, I’ll talk about…

If you are someone who loves Disney. you probably find any way to make your everyday clothes inspired by your favorite characters. However, most people aren’t allowed or able to dress like them (work, school, budget) so they want to find other ways to wear their favorite characters all the time. Here are my recommendations for shops that are selling some great Disney jewelry and other items: the…

Halloween has come and gone and Thanksgiving has gobbled away. It’s officially Christmastime! The tree lots are popping up, the store are playing KOST 103.5 as they are playing Christmas music until the 26th, ornaments of your favorite Disney characters and Santa Claus have taken over the shelves in stores. The magic of Christmas is in the air. This is my favorite time of year. I have loved it…

Growing up, I always looked up to the Disney princesses as Role Models on how to live my life and how to treat others. I didn’t really look up to them in terms of looks when I was young (I actually started when I got into Vintage clothes). So as I got older and started going into middle school, I started hearing people talking about how bad the Disney Princesses are for us and how we shouldn’t…

I remember I went shopping and I was wearing a 1950’s diner dress and was all made up. This was at a time in my life where I was still getting comfortable dressing vintage. I went to a The Body Shop store and a sale assistant working there was helping me out. While I was checking out, she said she loved my dress and style and wished she could wear it. I asked her why couldn’t she and she…

Hello, all who have been following this blog for a while now! You might have noticed that I have been absent for a few weeks now. I want to completely apologize for this absence. It’s a long story I’m going to tell you right now. In late September, I applied and got hired at my local Spirit Halloween store. I was thrilled as Halloween was one of my favorite holidays. As soon as I got hired, I…

What are some old fashioned things would I bring back?

I am grateful to be living in this day and age. We have technology and are more progressive than most people who lived in different time periods. However, over time, I noticed that when watching old hollywood movies, the mannerisms and politeness is something that feels different than what is happening now. I started watching some vintage etiquette videos on YouTube and I noticed that a lot of…

Old Hollywood movies I recommend for people getting into the vintage community Part One

I love movies. They are my favorite types of entertainment. I got a lot of my inspiration for joining the community from watching old Hollywood films. I wanted to spread my love for movies by listing my favorite Old Hollywood films, so here is my list (I plan on separating by Actor/Actress). I plan on updating this the more I watch: Marilyn Monroe: Some Like It Hot, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, How…

Which time is the best to go to the Disney parks: Halloween or Christmas?

Well, it’s that time of year again. Halloween season has started at Disneyland and Walt Disney World. The Haunted Mansion at Disneyland is now the Haunted Mansion Holiday. It’s officially the best time of year! Now that everyone is probably wondering when is the best time to visit the park and why one season is better in the park than the other. I’m only going to be comparing the Disneyland park…

I had a friend from elementary school who wasn’t allowed to celebrate Halloween because her parents were Evangelists and didn’t want their children to worship “A Devil’s Holiday”. It was an interesting time for her because she wanted to join in all the fun and didn’t feel the same way they did. It was a memory that came up a few days ago as I talked to people at my church about the upcoming Fall…
