This is a question I must ask myself. Daily.

When I get home from work there is nothing better than putting on a Disney movie to make my sorrows and stresses of life disappear. However, I am 25…am I too old to be so easily swept off my feet and taken into such fantasy by a simple animation made to entertain children?

Personally, I think those movies and shows that we all love and continue to watch have helped create me into the person I am and the person I want to be.

I see nothing wrong with dreaming of a day that I will be able to be a Disney Princess. Shoot, I am still applying for jobs to cos-play princesses for party companies. (No, this is not a joke. Serious as a heart attack).

I know people may see this as being immature and childlike, but explain to me how enjoying anything to this extent is not immature or childlike.

We watch shows we like and get lost in certain things to escape reality. My reality just happens to consist of adventure, true love, talking forest animals and magic.

So, until the day I feel too old I stop breathing I will forever love Disney movies and long to be a Disney princess.

Who knows, perhaps if I wish upon a star, my dreams will come true. 😉

This year was my first Christmas away from home…instead I was able to go home with my boyfriend to meet his family.

His family is from Thetford, which is in Norfolk, England for those of you who don’t know where I am talking about.

Thetford has that small town feeling which I absolutely loved, it was nice to meet some of my boyfriend’s family.

Spending Christmas in England made me realise some great differences in this joyous celebration.

First thing I noticed was how much more of a drinking celebration Christmas seems to be in England, which I am not used to.

However, I must say, the alcohol made for some memories and fun. Definitely not saying the English have the party aspect incorrect…however it is much different from I am familiar with.

Second fun thing that is much more an English tradition during Christmas than American are Christmas crackers

…if you don’t know what they are…time to google 😉

Christmas crackers are quite a cute and fun tradition…and you get a paper crown to wear during Christmas dinner!

HOW FUN! aka..I loved it.

Any excuse to wear a crown 🙂

I had so much fun experiencing Christmas in England and would gladly do it again.

Although I missed my family, my boyfriend’s family made me feel at home and did their best to make me have a great Christmas with their family.

All  around, it was a great Christmas and hope yours was too. XX

For my birthday, my mom and sister-in-law made an appointment to go get pedicures!

Can I just say…best pedicure I have ever gotten!

They took their jobs and nails as if it was an art.

It was amazing!

They did a legitimate massage which felt so amazing. My calves and feet needed it.

I got to pick from a giant book of what design I wanted on my toes.

SO MANY CHOICES TO CHOOSE FROM!

And I am quite an indecisive person…which was a challenge. However, I decided to get something that I could not get at home or in London.

HELLO KITTY!

It was between that or Tigger. But since Hello Kitty is more of a popular here in Japan, so I figure I would live it up and get me some pink and Hello Kitty on my toes. 🙂

BEST DECISION EVER! I am obsessed with them!

Yes, I know that I just wrote an entire blog about my toes…but I am a girl…and this is a Blonde’s P.O.V.

Soooooo I like my toes today.

PLUS: It is my birthday 🙂 I do what I want today! x

I really must say, when talking to friends from work, they are amazed at what my tube experiences have been.

Especially yesterday for instance.

Normally, no one speaks on the tube.

Everyone reads their paper or listens to their iPod at an extremely annoying volume level.

Either way, no one speaks.

Yesterday was an unusual and totally hilarious way to make my day go from terrible to amazing in 2.5 second.

So I am sitting on the Jubilee line, minding my own business.

When this guy walks up to me.

I am sure you are wondering what he said that made me day so amazing.

Well, Match.com has these silly adverts up that say things like “Mr. Right could be sitting right under this sign”…or “Your perfect girl could be sitting right here”.

I apparently was sitting under the “Girl of your dreams” one.

So this random comes up to me, I take my ear buds out so I can hear what he is saying..

He says, “The tube advert says you’re the girl of my dreams…and I think it may be right. Here is my number, call me sometimes.”

He hands me this piece of paper with a phone number scratched down on it.

I did not know whether to laugh or be creeped out.

Luckily I did not have to do much, because the next station was my stop.

I simply took the piece of paper, said thank you, smiled and got out of the train.

Minus the creepy factor of that situation, I must say that took some balls for sure.

I really do have the oddest luck EVER.

Weird/entertaining situations somehow always find their way to me.

Go figure.

Either way, thank you random guy on the Jubilee line…you made my day much, much brighter 🙂

As I sit in my room, listening to Disney song classics such as songs from Snow White, Jungle Book and Beauty and the Beast..I started wondering why it is these silly songs make you feel so happy.

Have you ever noticed that?

How can someone not get happy when you listen to Disney songs?

I think the songs give us that warm, fuzzy feeling because you want that ideal perception of love, relationships, life, whatever the song is singing about.

Since I was a little girl Disney movies gave me ideas about these subjects and made me want something exactly like these Disney characters had…

To bad it’s not realistic at all.

But, songs like Tale As Old As Time or Some Day My Prince Will Come are just a couple of examples of songs that make you want that feeling these characters have towards a significant other.

Which brings up another topic…is it better to have these fairytale-like high hopes…or is it better to be realistic and not let your heads get stuck in the clouds?

I, for one, will always have the dream of meeting my Prince Charming and living happily ever after.

So, dream big! Realistic or not…and go listen to some of your favourite Disney soundtracks.

If you think about it, as a girl, we start our lives off with hearing about fairy tales everywhere we go.

You learn about true love.

You learn about villans.

You learn that dreams do come true.

But what fairy tales such as Little Mermaid, Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast and Tangled have taught me more than those silly childhood lessons.

Fairy tales, I have realised, have kept me positive in the last couple years where my life has decided to crash down a bit.

Every fairy tale princess has a conflict, whether it is being stuck in a tower or being a maid to evil step family members.

Fairy tales taught me that scars from your past make you who you are. Though  scars last forever…as long as you smile and follow your dreams, you can still be the princess and have your heart’s desires.

Elle Woods gets her nails nr therapy…for , my therapy is getting these awful brown roots covered.

Yes, I am THAT girl.

When I am sad…or just a bit down in the dumps…all my problems seem to disappear just like my roots do over the 2.5 hours process known as my hair appointment.

Makes me feel like a new person to get my hair back to its (wanna be) natural colour.

Truly. There is no better feeling than getting pampered.

Getting your hair done makes you feel spectacular.

No questions asked.

It is amazing. I love it.

This is part of the reason I don’t mind getting my hair done every five weeks…also…the fact my roots are DARK BROWN has a bit to do with it as well.

Plus, I really enjoy keeping up my persona that I am a natural blonde.

At heart anyways 😉
