Happy New Years loves!

December (my favorite month of the year) passed by quicker than a blink of the eye. Here I am back and ready in action to conquer 2017. I just know that this year will be a good one! And I promise that I’m back and ready to blog post more than ever.

If you have kept up with my instagram at all you may have seen a few Disney posts. Even though December is “so yesterday” I definitely wanted to share my Disney Birthday experience last month. I got my pass for the very first time a few months ago, and I have definitely been making the most of it ever since. Every extra second that I have has been spent there (it’s definitely the best stress reliever after work with a quick trip..and no #notsponsored :P). They did such a good job at making me feel special on my entry way to the late 20’s.

If you go on your birthday, make sure to get the birthday Disney pin, which you can get at basically every store there. Every single person working there will pretty much be offering you birthday wishes all day long. Exhibit A: “Can I cross the street?” “Yes of course you… HAPPY BIRTHDAY.”

For someone who doesn’t like attention much *cough me* it’s actually pretty hilarious.

Also..the food is oh so amaaaaazing… I definitely have ate my fair share there. My favorite thing I’ve tasted were their seasonal peppermint beignets. SO SO GOOD! Pictured above are one of the about…5 I had that day. Diet fo whuttt?!

Here is the cheesiest goodness to be found in all of the magical land..the Croque Monsieur is more than enough to feed two people. It’s cut into four slices and I’m pretty sure that powdered sugar is the best thing to be sprinkled on top of a sandwich, ever. Who woulda thought?!

Of course it wouldn’t be complete without twirling around in Bug’s Land with characters on stilts! *Birthday Wishes!*

I hope you all had a wonderful New Years and here’s to looking forward to 2017!

Hello everyone! This weekend was one that I have been looking forward to for quite some time. As just about all of my best friends live in different states, it was quite the event that two of them decided to come into town at the same time! Of course it’s always a good time when we’re all together laughing about anything and everything. But it’s even better when you’re at one of the happiest places in the world…. Disneyland! 11042044_10155257189925510_758496817_n

It had been a few years since I had last been there, and the anticipation was killing me for the past month. The day finally arrived! We woke up super early and got there at the crack of dawn… and this lovely site greeted me upon entering.

I think some of the cutest pictures are taken in front of this castle. Fun fact: at least one couple a day gets engaged at Disneyland!

We made sure to dress in our most comfortable clothes, so naturally that meant that all of us would match in our Chucks.

Apparently the entire park had the same idea, as pretty much every girl in sight was wearing the same shoes as us. From white to teal to black, they were everywhere I looked. There were almost as many people wearing Minnie Mouse ears… just about, but not quite.

I absolutely love people-watching when I am in super dense people-packed places, so that is what I resorted to doing whenever we had our down-time to recover from all the walking we did! We made sure to grab a map of the park so that we wouldn’t miss any of the main attractions. Out of all the rides, the Indiana Jones ride was definitely my favorite this time around. Every time I go I seem to have a new favorite ride… which is okay with me!

Unknowingly, we probably chose the hottest day of the month to be outside, as it was about 88 degrees (aka scorching hot!). With the weather conditions the way they were and how early we had woken up, caffeine was a necessity. How cute are the Starbucks cups inside the park?!

Too cute.

Anyways, this drink definitely helped me recover from basically melting on a crazy hot day. After riding on our favorite rides twice, we were pretty exhausted. We stayed to watch the fireworks which really was the perfect ending to our night. We went out with a bang…ha ha… okay. Anyways, I miss it already and can’t wait to go back.

Until next time…
xoxo,

Lena
