The travel diaries: China - Shànghǎi Disneyland

Since its opening, a lot of videos about Shànghǎi's Disneyland have been circulating around the internet: the usual vlogs plus detailed accounts about Chinese behavior that would creep anyone out! But it's a Disney park and I really wanted to spend my birthday there for once and went through with it!


We were lucky withthe weather...too lucky as it was sooooooo hot and humid!!
But the setting was beautiful and I was squealing as soon as we entered the subway and saw the sign that said "Shànghǎi Disneyland". When we arrived to the park, I was smiling and skipping!!


This is a snap of TRON's roller coaster. Fun thing: although a good park, Shànghǎi's Disneyland lacked attractions to accommodate the amount of visitors, making it almost impossible to ride anything. We looked at this ride and as soon as we saw the lines, gave up and started to stroll somewhere else.


Give the hype surrounding the movies, there had to be something Star Wars here too. It was a small pavillion filled with memorabilia to delight fans :)


Lunch was at Rapunzel's tavern. Sadly, no one started singing " I have a dream".

 

Mongolian beef and some chicken wings with fries!


This was probably our second ride of the day: after 90 minutes or more, we finally sat down to enjoy The Pirates of The Caribean ride. If you have been to a Disney park you know this one's usually good. But oh my, was this AMAZING!!!! You can see I am thrilled but Pedro not so much, but he was pretty happy afterwards 👍🏼


Oh, know yer knot!!!


The Dumbo ride, allowing us to have a nice view of the park at sunset!


The ceiling inside Storybrook's castle. So magical ✨


The Garden of the Twelve Friends had every animal in the Chinese Zodiac portrayed as a Disney animal. Luckily for me, it was Maximus!!


It was then time to leave as the park was almost closing. But, as it is a Disney tradition, guests are treated to a musical and visual show, projected on the park's castle. China did not disappoint and there were a lot of fireworks and the night show was beautiful!!


I will comeback one day, but there is a lot to improve and enough room to do so. Keep up the good work China, cheers for giving me a great birthday!


XOXO,

M

Universal

Being an enthusiast of all things from The Body Shop, I'm always looking forward for new products and ranges. Recently, the brand launched their Smoky Poppy line, with Turkish poppies and just in time for Valentine's day. I have featured the body lotion on this month's wishlist, but along with the line came another product. These Velvet Sticks are suitable for lips and cheeks. The colours look vivid here, but I tested them in the store and was a little disappointed. The coral one was also on my wishlist, but I found the colour to be very light on the lips.  So what did I bring? See the black one? "Black lipstick and black blush?" Naah!! The packaging is gorgeous, but I'm a sucker for black and pink. Also the poppy flower print blends in very well with the logo! Here's what's interesting: this stick is called "universal" because it works for everyone. But not everyone will get the same shade! The colour changes according to your skin's pH

Tuesday with a little Tease

Image
Enjoying my first day off from work, I went with a friend to a bakery called TEASE . It's a rock 'n' roll bakery (so they say) and in fact, the only reason I noticed it was because they were playing Guns N' Roses one night (it's open until 11pm, perfect for a snack at night). But here's the thing: although they call themselves a rock 'n' roll bakery , the inside suggests a whole different thing! The decoration is very vintagelike, the food looks delicate and yummi... Cupcakes, muffins, milkshakes and teas, toats, salads, all of this to the sound of Florence and the Machine, Friendly Fires and many others. Perfect for an afternoon with a friend or a date with your sweetheart! This time, pictures will be mainly of food but more will come, featuring the decoration and furniture! Yummi dreams, XOXO, M P.S: Any additional information about the place, click here !

5 fashion things having a job has taught me

Image
Ever since I finished college and started working, some changes have happened in my fashion life. I am the youngest member of the staff, this is my first (almost) full time job and the environment, although casual and laid back, requires a certain discretion and poise on my part. #1 Working at a school and having to deal with the parents as well as with the kids, cleavage/see-throughs/extremely short shorts and skirts are frowned upon. The first two are just rude in a school environment. As for skirts and shorts, I wear them a lot during winter (with tights!), but it becomes tricky in spring. I only wear them when it's to warm to consider anything else. Harem/aladdin pants are also acceptable. Just remember: the shorter the bottoms, the more coverage you should have on your top, going for a boat or round neck tshirt. #2 Balance your makeup. I struggled a little with this one. As much as I love black eyeliner, even when I use a super thin brush, I rarely make a thin line. This m
