Hello guys,
As I mentioned in a previous blog post I am a massive Disney lover and the other day I was watching Snow White and I had an idea. I'd been thinking a lot about how I could include some Disney related posts into my blog and then I had the idea of doing a collection of blogposts where I look at the important values a Disney film teaches. Disney Princess films are loved by most, but especially young girls so it is important for these princesses to be a good influence and bring out positive characteristics in them. So I am going to be sharing with you what I have learnt from each Disney princess film, starting with Disney's first; Snow White.
Jealousy is Harmful
In the film the Queen, who consults her magic mirror everyday, is told that she is not as beautiful as Snow White so she plots to kill her. Granted, this is extreme it still teaches that jealousy harms not just others but yourself too. Her judgement, self obsession and jealousy get is the way of her happiness.
Kindness and Friendships are very important
Snow White's heart shone through as she was beautiful both outside and in. Her kindness makes other people want to help her; the huntsman let her go and the dwarfs let he into there home. Her friends rush to try and save her and are always at her defense.
People aren't always what they seem
This is both positive and negative. The obvious negative example is when the Queen disguises herself as an old women and tricks Snow white into eating her poisoned apple. Yes, Snow White was very naive to take food from a creepy old lady so I guess don't take food from strangers is a good lesson too! A positive example of this though is Grumpy the Dwarf who appears as hostile and unwelcoming towards Snow when she first arrived but ended being very attached to her. I think that it shows giving people a chance is important and always showing them kindness even if it's not returned straight away.
Thank you for reading, I hope you have enjoyed this post. Look out for more like this, with the next being Cinderella, who is Disney's second princess.

Hello guys,
Sorry I didn't blog last week, I was having quite a bad day so didn't feel very creative and couldn't think of anything interesting to write so I decided just to do nothing at all. I didn't want to post something I wasn't proud of or happy with. Anyway this week I was on Pintrest and I saw some really cute Christmas wallpapers. I realised that because it's nearly December this would be a great time to share some of my favourite phone wallpapers for Christmas (although I've had mine since up October - Christmas is my favourite holiday by far!)
For me the days have been going quite quickly despite how busy I've been! I've had a much bigger workload and lines to learn for Hairspray! However this busyness excites me because the Christmas season is just around the corner. I really love this time of year despite the fact that it get's dark earlier, there's a lot of traffic and the weather is awful (unless it's snowing, which I hope it will!) because everybody just seems a little happier.
But anyway, here are my Top 5 Phone wallpapers for Christmas:
Christmas Wreath - Merry Christmas
In my opinion this will look better as a lock screen rather than home screen because of the words but I'm sure both will look lovely. Also it puts you in a Christmasy mood whenever you turn on your phone. Click the link to download from the website but also to take a look at the other designs because they are all so cute!
Purple Christmas Design
This is my current wallpaper because I love the colours used - it matches my phone case, and it's not too Christmasy - even though I love Christmas it isn't December yet! The designer has a version for computer desktops and iPad's too. This design is for iPhone but because it's a pattern it will work on any device.
String Lights Wallpaper
I saw this an immediately thought it was gorgeous! I love how the colours aren't traditional Christmas colours and it adds pops of pink to my wallpaper. This is what I will use next because it isn't extremely Christmasy so perfect for November. The other designs shared in the post I found this on (click the name) are really sweet too.
Christmas Gold Typography
I really like this wallpaper! The words are from one of my favourite Christmas songs and it's gold, with stars. Whenever I look at it I can almost hear Michael Bublé sing this in my head! Like the Christmas Wreath wallpaper at the top this is great for a lock screen. When December comes I will defiantly be using this..
Let it Snow
Again the words used in this wallpaper are ones from another of my favourite Christmas songs! I love the icy blue colour and all the pretty snowflakes surrounding the words. If you do use this and use the link in the title you have to scroll down quite a bit on the page to find this wallpaper but it is there I promise!
Earlier I mentioned Pintrest and wanted to say that I get a lot of inspiration from Pintrest and I would highly recommend making an account if you haven't already. If you want to, click here to take a look at my page.
Thank you for reading, let me know in the comments if you use any of these, have a suggestion for me to use or have a Pintrest account and I will take a look.
