My Obsession Monday: Disney

Hey y'all, 

This week's obsession is DISNEY! Especially after going to see the adorable movie, Brave, this past weekend I am proclaiming my second name, Disney Diva. When I was little the only TV I was allowed to watch was PBS and Disney movies so I have some favorites like Beauty and the Beast, Tangled, Hercules, and now Brave. 

Some things that qualify me to be a Disney Diva are having over 11 hours of Disney music on my iTunes, going to see Beauty and the Beast in 3D for my 22nd Birthday, getting Disney movies for my Birthday (hello Hercules and Mulan), watching just about every Disney movie(see the bold ones on this list:)

Hanging out with the Beast: Disneyland 2008

Hugs from Mickey Mouse!

And yes my Princess ears with tiara and veil  has my name embroidered.

Brave kept up my expectations of Disney. The story of a teenage girl rebelling against expectations in order to changer her fate isn't that far-fectched. The story is all about finding one's own path and changing fate through one's own actions rather than following the expected. While not a traditional love story and no unrealistic expectations of hair I recommend Brave highly if you are like me and love Disney movies.

WILW {June 20}

Hey y'all,

On this first day of summer I'm loving....

....spending time by the pool. It was the perfect day to lounge on a pool bed and read during the afternoon.

...that I bit the bullet and ordered the Erin Condren life planner. Now to wait until it arrives. I think it might kill me to wait that long.

...the Lifeguard Press Lilly Pulitzer stickers. This would have been perfect if I was still in school so I am going to buy some of the sorority sheets and some of the academic ones and send them up to my sorority family to use in their planners. SO CUTE! There is even a family themed one here.

....while on the Lifeguard Press website I  rediscovered my love of these Jonathan Adler Die-cut notepads. The second I get a job and desk to decorate these guys are going into my cart for purchase. They are so cute and a great way to jot down a note and decorate a desk.

whale

elephant

fish

also look at these adorable magnets. They are perfect for my Lilly magnet board.

...that Disney/Pixar's new movie Brave comes out THIS FRIDAY! As a Disney lover, a girl with some Irish heritage and the fact that I studied Celtic Art, this is the PERFECT movie for me.

....SWAPS. I love the blog swaps I am participating in as well as looking for the perfect gift for my partners. Its a great way to find new blog reads and have lots of fun creating mini gift baskets. I'm thinking about hosting a school supply swap. I personally love finding cute school supplies and I think it would be great to host one in July/August so people could have an adorable "first day of school" gift filled with cute and useful items. Thoughts? Anyone want to co-host?

What are you loving this week?

Peace and Blessings,
