Disney+ Has Arrived! ♡

Just in tine for everyone spending months in their homes, Disney plus has arrived! 

As someone who is completely Disney obsessed I think this was by far the best day of my life!

Disney plus has all your favourite classics, Pixar's and Disney Channel favourites all wrapped up in a neat little bow. Although, still waiting for Sonny With a Chance Disney!

Aswel as your obvious Disney favourites you have all the Marvel movies which I can't wait to catch up on and a National Geographic section. Who else didn't know Disney was an owner of National Geographic!?

My first stream was Tangled, one of my all time favourites, and we have been watching all we can ever since. 101 Dalmatians, Aladdin (the live action is breathtaking), Wreck It Ralph, Jungle Book, High School Musical and endless hours of Wizards if Waverly Place.

Im totally addicted and its honestly what's getting me through these looooong days. Its £59.99 for a whole year or £5.99 a month, or even have a seven day free trial. Totally worth it in my opinion if your as excited by Disney as I am.

Sign up here: DisneyPlus.com

If you decide to purchase it, enjoy and let me know your first stream!

Vinyls Im Listening Too ♡

Well, crazy times guys. Im on my first week of complete isolation now that schools are shut and Im already going a bit stir crazy! Today I thought I would share with you some of the vinyls I've been reaching for in the past few days to keep me entertained. I can assure you, this is the first post of many like this one!

Im obsessed with vinyls and Im lucky enough to own alot of old school ones as my parents had an amazing record collectin when they were younger. I grew up  having a record playing at my grandparents house which I used to spend hours listening to and hunting through their record collection. Although I have some great oldies in my collection, I love buying vinyls instead of albums these days and I'm so glad I have my own wee collection building up which I will share with you over time.

Two Scottish legends first, Lewis Capaldi & Nina Nesbitt. Lewis' debut album Devinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent is an ear worm of an album. Im obsessed. I thought Capaldi was pretty good, then I saw him perform live at Belladrum and fell head over heals for not only his music, but his voice. This album is one of those that you can put on and listen to over and over again. His released singles are just the tip of the iceberg of gems on this album, the lyrics are so beautifully poetic and of course, listening on vinyl just makes the songs even more magical.

Nina Nesbitts album The Sun Will Come Up, The Seasons Will Change is an incredible piece of work from another scottish legend. Ive been a fan of Nina since her EP The Apple Tree was released back in 2012. Her first album Peroxide was so good and myself and Bruce went to a few of her shows of hers back in the day. Her sound has developed into a more modern pop chilled vibe compared to the folk sound she used to gravitate towards. Colder is such a great track, my favourite on the album and again, made insanely good played on vinyl along with her ballad Is It Really Me Your Missing which Nina's voice is stunning in.

Another favourite of mine to put on is Taylor Swifts RED album. Of all her albums this is still my absolute favourite and I listen to it over and over. I love the mix on this album of proper pop hits but still having the country element in majority of the tracks. Begin Again is my favourite track of hers and listening to it on vinyl makes it sound so beautiful. The lyrics throughout the album are stunning, heartfelt and classic Taylor. You feel yourself totally relating to certain tracks and getting lost in the stories she tells. I have three of her albums on vinyl and can't wait to get some more.

Amy Winehouse is an idol of mine. Her voice, her songwriting, her style, I adored her. Amajor talent taken wy to soon from the world. I think out of all my records, Amy's voice is the most stunning played on vinyl.  It sounds like shes in the room with you, the rawness of the vocals are emphasised and all you can do is just sit and absorb it. Each of the tracks on this album are incredibly written and show a huge insight in to what she was going through and experiencing at the time.

Finally, a really recent one that I haven't stopped playing since I got it is Louis Tomlinson's debut album Walls. Louis was always been my favourite member of One Direction, I remember always wearing striped clothes and toms to match his style, anyone else? His solo sound is so good, its almost early 2000s to me with hints of Blur and Travis coming through, I love it.
His latest single Walls is just perfection and once again, hearing it on vinyl is my favourite.

Hope you enjoyed reading about some of my favourite vinyls at the moment. Let know what you guys have been listening too, we all have plenty of time right now don't we!
Keep safe everyone, the sooner we all stay in the sooner we can get back out.

Keeping You Entertained ♡

Well, what an interesting and unsure time to be alive! I hope everyone reading this is safe, well and not going too stir crazy if you are in isolation or quarantine. 

In these strange times I have, like many others, decided I will try my best to create as much content as I can to keep people amused even if just for a few minutes everyday. 

One way of doing this along with my blog is with my band, Blind Broken. We have decided to upload lots of our favourite covers as often as we can to our Blind Broken Youtube Channel and social medias to keep you all entertained. Having no gigs lined up now for the foreseeable future, we still want to be able to play and entertain in any way we can. 

The first one we have shared is one of our favourites to perform, Black Horse & a Cherry Tree by the amazing KT Tunstall. We hope you enjoy and stay tuned for all the ones we have lined up over the next wee whiley. 

Give us a wee follow to keep up to date with our videos:

Walk All Over Cancer ♡

It's nearly been a year since I took on the Race for Life, something I'm still so proud of myself for doing and raising such an incredible amount of money thanks to friends and family.

One of the fundraisers I've decided to take part in this year is walking 10,000 steps everyday in March #WalkAllOverCancer. Here we are on Day 11 and so far, so good! 

It's been a great way of making myself get out for more walks and adventuring into the woods but it's also, most importantly, such an important cause.

Losing my mam five years ago now is still so hard to deal with and it breaks my heart even more that so many people continue to go through what my mam did. The more money we can raise, together we can eventually beat this awful disease.

My fundraising page is:

Amy Walk All Over Cancer

If you have any spare pennies they would be very much appreciated, if you arn't able to donate I just ask that you share my link to spread the awareness as far as we can, this is equally as important as donations.

Together we can beat Cancer sooner,

Bridesmaids Proposals ♡

Happy New Year to you all and welcome to the new followers that joined us over the festive season!

Wedding planning is so much fun! The day we've been dreaming of is coming along a treat and its getting so exciting. We are having so much fun researching and looking into the things we really want and have booked so much already. We've booked our venue, extra accommodation, our evening food, catering and our photographer. Its all coming along nicely and we have big plans for the new year!

One thing I did want to do early on was officially ask my girlies to be bridesmaids. 

Id always had it in my head to surprise them with a wee gift and that's exactly what I ended up doing.

I tricked them all and made up little bridesmaids proposal cards and told them they were save the dates. Their reactions were so lovely and made me even more happy Ive asked them to be by my side for the big day. The cards I printed off myself from Etsy,  so easy to edit and make personal. I couldn't find the ones that I purchased but similar ones are available from DPJDesigns which are just as gorgeous with a huge mix of options.

Over on Etsy I also found a lovely little shop called Viola Mirabilis Design that do amazing graphics which you can personalise for things such as invitations, cards, wedding signs and all sorts.

I decided to purchase their wine bottle labels and stick these onto a mixture of Rose and Prosecco bottles for the girls. Really affordable and so easy to edit to make special for whoever you are giving them too. You can edit the fonts, colours and sizes that you want to print. I love the way everything turned out and have lots of ideas for the big day since creating these personalised bottles! 

Etsy is the website I have been using for most of our wedding planning, along with Pinterest which will become your best friend when your getting married!

Hope you enjoyed this little wedding post and let me know how you asked your friends to be a part of your big day or any sites you think we all might find useful.

Happy New Year lovelies,
