' I can sense you there, like a friend I've always known' - I'M MAKING A COMEBACK!

 


' I can sense you there, like a friend I've always known' - Elsa, Frozen 2

Ok, so am I trying this again...Yes I am. Have I tried this multiple times in the last month...Yes I have 😅
Let hope I can keep this going! 

I made this blog back in 2013 when I had left school with anxiety/school phobia, with no medical diagnosis. Now I'm aged 22, nearly 23 (next month!) with an autism diagnosis many years later, still struggling. So, I've decided that this blog is making a comeback, yeah like a band, it's making that near 10 year comeback!

Right. Let's start at the very beginning, a very good place to start as Julie Andrews says...I'd like to say ALOT has changed but that would be a lie. I'm still at home, not doing much with my life and I'm not the most content happiest person but I'm surviving and that's good enough for me.
To catch you up on my journey and say hi to everyone whose reading whether your from 2013 era or just found me now, randomly searching.

In 2019, I wrote two blogs expressing myself, which I have now drafted due to them being an 'in the moment' expression. But they explained that I had moved out into a independent living flat and was trying to live on my own with support workers help. That completely failed. I won't say anymore as frankly I don't want to & it upsets me to type and think about. Long story short...I'm back at home. 
Ah but where is home, that's another story as in 2020 my family moved from Kent, UK to Norfolk, UK, which was a crazy journey...especially with that thing we all hate at the moment to talk about COVID! 

OMG COVID, how could I forget to mention that. Life got and still is very weird. Luckily I haven't experienced Covid yet & it didn't affect me in the way it did most people with jobs, schools etc.

Anyway, sadly due to Covid I haven't been to a Disney Parks to experience some magic in what feels like FOREVER, two years actually (last trip in November 2019, just before it kicked off!) Luckily I did manage to get on two of the Magic at Sea Disney Cruises last year in September, which were the perfect piece of magic needed. I have Disneyland Paris booked for my birthday next month so wish with me & fingers crossed I'll finally see that beautiful castle again!

Over the time I've been not blogging my interests have bloomed and changed except my love of Disney, that will always stay! You may remember as I think I was still blogging at this point, I did make a Youtube channel for my own My Little Pony videos that I make called PMVS. I have little breaks on there when creativity lulls, but I love making them so much still. I now have little over 89.9K subscribers with some videos over 1Million views!! I can't believe that, seriously, so thank you if you've come from my YouTube to read my post 😇

Have I missed anything, probably but I'm going to save that for another post! 
I have some ideas of posts in my mind that I just need to work out on here, so let's hope I can keep my little comeback going...even if it's slowly.
I've really enjoyed expressing and typing all this out today. It was SOOO needed as I was having so much brain fog today. So thank you if you got this far in reading as none of this is planned (my blog is never planned lol!) so is just being typed as I'm thinking. There was probably tons of mistakes in this post and I haven't read it again...too hungry for dinner lol!

I'm going to shut up now and go have some dinner so thank you again, if everyone reads this. 
I really appreciate it.

TTFN - ta-ta for now!

My 2016 Overview


While writing this I've got a heavy cold and my life is crazy, if you haven't been following me on instagram you wouldn't know that my Nan is got taken into hospital on Christmas Day and she's still there..so Christmas didn't actually happen in my life, and my life & year has been crazy, yes I had some amazing times & moments but I tried to plan an overview of my year and just realised so much craziness has happened I just couldn't, so this is as close as I could get.
I'm in middle of planning a 'What I got for Christmas' post but taking photos and other things are just getting in the way at the moment but I'm sure it will come! 

Biggest Accomplishment of 2016


In January 2016, my family decided to get a dog. I was TERRIFIED of dogs. I couldn't go anywhere that could have a possibility of a dog like a park and I couldn't go round people's houses with dogs..I can't even explain how crazy my fear was. My sister has always wanted a dog and found the most adorable golden retriever puppy called Izzy, we all fell in love instantly. I remember going to see her and being petrified and when she came home with us in the car I cried and thought I'd made the biggest mistake ever. I can now say I LOVE DOGS & IZZY! Izzy has been my rock this year. I honestly don't know how I would have gotten through this year without her, she is my best friend.

Best Memory of 2016


I was in a very dark place in the middle of this year, honestly I nearly went to hospital twice over my mental health. My biggest wish was to go back to Disneyland Paris as I feel HOME there. It's a feeling I can't explain but it feels right inside me..kinda like how Moana feels home on the ocean...
Of course I'd love to go to the other bigger Disney parks but Paris is the nearest, it's my home park so that was my wish. My AMAZING parents made it come true as they booked me a short stay with my Dad in August. I had the most awesome time, it was magical. We dined in the big Disneyland Pink Hotel with characters, watched shows & met loads of characters including my all time favourite Peter Pan. That was my best memory, meeting Peter Pan & going to Disneyland Paris, it just gave me a new lease of life.

Biggest Obstacle of 2016



 This is a hard one. Honestly my biggest obstacle of 2016 has been myself & my autism. I love my autism, it makes me special but it also makes life incredibly hard & difficult to live. Last year I really embraced my autism and realised all it's amazing quirks that it gives me but I feel this year I've felt alot of the drawbacks. I've really struggled to keep going but luckily I have an amazing family, who support me in everything I do. I can't thank them enough.

What I'm looking forward to in the New Year (2017)


I'm very lucky as next year I will be going back to Disneyland Paris in the summer with my family to celebrate my 18th birthday (even though my birthday is in March!). I'm so excited!! I've started planning & I can't wait to get things in motion. I just can't wait to see that beautiful castle again. 
I'm also looking forward to spending another amazing year with my little furry friends, Izzy the Golden Retriever & Fig the guinea pig..and of course all my family.

That's my 2016 overview, short but sweet. 
I'm so happy to be blogging again, it just feels right. 
Happy New Year!

I'm Back!


Guess what?! I'M BACK! 
If you didn't know over the summer I made a new Disney blog but I just couldn't connect with it as much as I have with this one so I'm back for good!
Of course my other blog still exists with all my posts even though I picked some of my favourites and posted them on here (below) for you if you haven't seen them before. 

I can't wait to get back to posting about all my favourite things from Disney & Ever After High to My Little Pony & Barbie! 
And as you can probably notice this blog has a new look. I decided that since it's nearly a new year I'd love a new look for my blog. I used this template on my other Disney blog and loved it so much that I just copied it over! 

I'll be posting real soon so make sure you follow me on my social media to find out when I post :)


GUESS WHAT?! I'M BACK!


Hey Guys! Guess What?! I'M FINALLY BACK! It's been nearly a month but I'm back!! I haven't been too great for the past few weeks and didn't feel I could blog. I glad to say that I finally think I'm ready to start getting creative again :') Since I don't wanna go on about how I felt this is a little picture to express how I felt for the past few weeks..


So I'm been feeling pretty sad for the last month and sadly I still do but I really wanna blog so here it goes...I'm just gunna do an update on what you can expect in the next couple of weeks, fingers crossed. 

My Little Pony Season 5
It started off so well! I originally planned to do a review every week on the latest My Little Pony episode from Season 5. So far I've done the season premiere and castle sweet castle, I'm hoping that I can try to do the latest three episodes this week before the new one comes out on Saturday but if not then they will be coming soon. Last weekend was super hard since it was a ponyless weekend..no new episode! I decided to make use this scene from one of the newest episodes 'Tanks for the Memories' to express how I felt. My Mum is Fluttershy telling me that my weekend is going to be ponyless..and then that's me on the right ;) 

What I have Planned!


So I quite alot planned for the next couple of weeks including lots of MLP and Disney! I want to finish off my birthday haul (two months late!), share my growing collections and write about my experience at the Cinderella Exhibition in London with loads of pictures :) I also need to catch up on my MLP reviews and I'm trying to do some more Top 10 lists too as I love those. I'm aware that I missed last months favourites but it won't be missed this month! 


I'm actually going away next week but I'm going to try and have some posts set up as I will have wifi so I can just post them but I can't promise anything. If they come they come..if they don't it will be the week after :) Until next time, bye guys.

Random Ramblings ♥ January 2015 ♥


Hey Lovelies. Happy New Year! I hope you all have a magical 2015 :) I can't wait to see what this new year holds and I have a feeling it's going to be good. I decided that my first 2015 post would have to be a random ramblings as I have so much to talk about and I feel like this is the right time. 

Busy Blogging...
So I just wanted to quickly highlight on the future of my blog this year. I'm still continuing my monthly favourites, currently I am and living with aspergers series as I'm really enjoying them. I hope to include more reviews this year on the latest movies and music so I can really express all my feelings. I'm thinking of changing the look of my blog for the new year, not much different but I think I want to play around abit with photoshop. I really wanna make a cartoony chibi version of me in a Disney style but my drawing and graphic skills aren't that good! I've always been thinking that I might wanna change what I called you like 'lovelies'..I don't know what yet but I'm not loving 'lovelies' at the moment..any suggestions? In terms of this month I will be posting my 2014 favourites, what I got for Christmas and my Christmas haul super soon in the next couple of days and then I'll go from there...if you have any suggestions let me know on my twitter or instagram :')

Talk with Me
Now I have had over 28,000 views on my blog and that means that there are some people out there who actually read this! I'm use my instagram daily and love to talk to all my friends and I'm starting to use twitter more recently. I'm loving twitter as my Disney idol, who is called Laura and is @journeytodisney on twitter recently helped me embrace my inner Barbie girl and really helped me overcome my embrasment to buy things that make me happy like barbie movies. I actually tweeted this and she replied back and is now following me, we have talked abit more and I still fangirling! So Laura if your reading this hi! I also penpal alot and thats how I've met so many amazing people including one of my best online friends I have called Mckenna. She actually contacted me via my blog when I asked for penpals and now we are really close and talk almost everyday on instagram and facebook and we send goodies and letters to each other monthly. If your reading Mckenna (cause I know you do)..HI!

Now that I have thought about this post and want I wanted to write it doesn't seem as long as I thought! I guess I didn't have to ramble as much as I thought I did..anyway bye lovelies!

Where have I been?!


Hey Lovelies ♥ I'm finally back! I think its been about a month since I last blog but I have had sad November really. I was away the final week of October in Cornwall and then I went to school for the first week back after half term and then haven't been back since. I've been really ill with my aspergers for the last two weeks especially the first week and the second week I actually got the flu..ergh I know! So now I feel I'm FINALLY ready to start blogging again :')


So today I thought I would just do some of my random rambling! I wanted to let you guys know what I wanna do on here in the next few months and I just wanna tell you all about my trip to Cornwall a few weeks ago :) So first of all...

I have had this blog for a year and a half now and I'm loving it so much! I wanna thankyou lovelies for over 25000 views which is AMAZING!! I can't believe people are actually looking at my things, I'm so boring..I don't know why you bother :') Anyway I wanna do more hauls as I love doing those especially Disney ones. I also want to try to introduce baking into my blog as I love to bake and think it would be cool to share my creations with you guys. I also will be continuing my 'Living with Aspergers' series because I love writing my feelings and advice to others out there and hopefully making people more aware. My other monthly series will continue including random ramblings, monthy favourites, currently I am and pinmail. One of the newest things that I have done on my blog is my monthly Disney Park News/Update posts which I plan on continuing but it might be like seasonal or every so often as sometimes there isn't news every month. I want to try to do more reviews on things I have or buy to show the pros and cons, if I plan on doing reviews it will probably be on disney as usual! I can't think of anything else right now but I really want to keep on blogging and expanding it :)

As I said for the October half term (which is a week holiday at the end of october) I went on a small break away to Cornwall with my family. For those of you who aren't great at Geography or maps, like me, here is where Cornwall is...
We have been to Cornwall a few times as my Mum LOVES it so much. This time we were going to be staying in a little house on a kinda farm. There was about 4 houses/barns on the farm and a few animals. It wasn't a working farm like up at 6 and everything but it did have animals and it was adorable! I honestly felt like a Disney Princess as I made a very big connection which two sheep, which were living in the field across from our house. Everytime I went outside I would go and call for the sheep and they would just look at me then run straight at me, I loved it as they were SO fluffy!



I missed my little boys (our guinea pigs) all week but I knew as soon as we got home we could go and collect them and I could have big snuggles with each of them :) We went out everyday to different places from Looe to Padstow. I found some great Disney things while I was there and an adorable beanie sheep plush, which I love! One of my best finds was definitely my Frozen Hoodie, it was amazing! I was the first person to ever get one with the design I chose and it is super comfy ♥
I had a great trip and it was nice spending time with my family :')


I think I'll leave this post here as I've rambled enough but I will do another post straight after till as I want to make up for not blogging and I'm in the mood :) Before I end this post I want to thank a very special new friend called Mckenna ♥ Mckenna is one my newest penpals and I've only been speaking to her for about a month but she is an amazing friend already! I know she found me by actually reading one of my blog posts so I hope she reads this, if you do Hi :') If you have instagram you should totally go follow her at - @mckennalala or if you love pins then also follow her pintrading account - @pinsneyland.

Anyway I've gotta stop now aha! Bye lovelies ♥

Random Ramblings ♥ September 2014 ♥


Hey Lovelies ♥ I know I haven't blog in a week so I'm sorry but I've been super busy with the end of summer and the beginning of school :( I can't believe the summer holidays are over and September is already here..it has flown!

Anyways I have loads to actually talk about I think so I thought it was time for yet another Random Ramblings. Since it's on the very beginning of the month they maybe more than one ramble in September ;)


Let There Be Sims! Happy Simtember!

September for me marks the next generation of Sims to me as you might know Sims 4 is being released this month :') Now if you live in America or preordered it on Origin digitally (I think) you will already have the game (LUCKY!) But if your like me a live in the UK you have till wait till Friday for your chance you finally play the game :/ I've watched some Lets Play's on Youtube already and it's actually growing on me so hurry up friday I wanna play! Oh and if you don't get a blog post for a few days..I'm playing Sims 4 ;)


I won't Let it Go!
So as you all should know I'm a Frozen mega fan! I LOVE IT! A few weeks ago it was annoced that after some rumours there would not be a Frozen 2 movie but they are going to carry on the story into books later in 2015. I'm so happy by this news as I don't want a proper Frozen sequel and I love reading Disney books so yay! Then yesterday in the US, The Making of Frozen was aired on tv (which I wanna see!) and they annoced that a Frozen short is in the making for early 2015! I absouletly love this as I didn't want a whole movie but I love the disney shorts just like the Tangled Ever After one ♥ Can't wait! 


Oh and the plot for the short reads...“In Frozen Fever, it’s Anna’s birthday and Elsa and Kristoff are determined to give her the best celebration ever, but Elsa’s icy powers may put more than just the party at risk.” It also gives us a new song! 


Busy Busy Busy

So summer's over and school began yesterday for me :'( I'm now in Year 11 and continuing on my GCSEs so I'm quite busy but saying that I will still blog! I also have loads of lovely penpal friends now who I LOVE and it can take me a while to write the letters :') What I trying to say is that I wanna blog but bare with me as I am busy right now but once my school routine gets back I will be blogging alot again, so yay! 



ALS Ice Bucket Challenge ;)

Yes I thought No I won't get nominated...I don't have enough friends yet one of my only friends nominates me :/ I hate water on my face so this was a big challenge for me! You can watch me be soaked here...http://instagram.com/p/sPuPNVn6we/?modal=true Have fun ;)




I guess that's it for this early September Random Ramblings post :') I have a MASSIVE haul coming that I will probably do in two parts to make it better and not as long! So look out for that ;) To end..here is a gif that shows what I feel like now having to wait for Sims 4, OUAT, Frozen books and shorts..



Oh and before I end...I just wanna say a Well Done to my not so little sister Zoe for going to her first day at secondary today ♥ 



Random Ramblings ♥ August 2014 ♥


Hey Lovelies ♥ I'm sorry it's been soo long since I last posted! My Dad was off all last week and we spent the week with him doing all different things :') I have so many posts that I need to do and have in mind it's incrediable so looking forward to that! Anyway I felt the need to do a life update today but decided to call it Random Ramblings instead to change it up abit ;) 

Back to blogging
I've been slacking lately alot...and I'm sorry :( I do all my blogging on the main family computer which is in the conservatory with no blinds..so when it's really sunny I can't go on the computer which is alot in the UK at the moment. It actually just rained so I took my chance! I also have been busy with my family for the past week but now I'm gunna get back to blogging and I have tons of ideas including gaming reviews/news, hauls, apsies and of course disney and disney pins! Oh I also know I forgot to finish my july photos snap challenge since I was away but oh well! I also think I forgot my July Favourites but I actually can't remember :/


Saying Goodbye to my Genie
Yesterday I heard the news that a true legend had passed by suscept suidcied. I'm talking about Robin Williams who is literally childhood ♥ To me he is my genie of course I'm just gunna copy what I put on instagram as it sums up my thoughts ♥ I also loved this tweet on twitter that touched me ♥

'rιp roвιn wιllιaмѕ 🌹 coмpleÑ‚ely нearтвroĸen over тнιѕ 😭 ѕυcн an aмazιng acÑ‚or 💕 ι loѕт мy genιe 😩 people Ñ•ay нe мιgнт oÒ“ нad aÑ•pergerÑ• and ιғ нe dιd..Ò“roм one Ò“ellow aÑ•pιe Ñ‚o anoтнer..rιp ❤️ yoÏ… ғιnally goÑ‚ yoÏ…r Ò“reedoм ✨' 





Sims 4 here we come!
Now if your a PC gamer or any gamer really you will know that the next generation of The Sims is arriving in less than a month and I'm SUPER EXCITED! I'm slightly annoyed that the base game doesn't include pools and toddlers which are big parts of my gameplay and the create a style tool isn't avaiable which I use all the time but there are some things that look cool so I'm ready for the Sims 4 but I know that I won't stop playing the Sims 3 anytime soon ;) Below is the 20min walkthrough that they brought out a few weeks ago on Youtube :)


That's it for now but I have more posts coming today to make up for my recent lack of posts so keep your eyes open for those!
