Top 5 Tuesdays | Disney Movies | prettylittlewriter

For this week's top 5 Tuesday, I thought I'd do something a little different.
If you have read my previous post 20 Facts About Me then you will know I am a huge Disney fanatic. 
Any merchandise I see I MUST have! 

So this week I thought I'd clue you in on my top 5 favourite Disney movies!
They aren't in any particular order, as even though they are my top five, I can't choose which is my favourite out of them all!



So here they are! It was seriously difficult choosing the top 5 out of my collection, I love so many of them for so many different reasons, but I settled on Aristocats, Frozen, Mulan, Peter Pan and Bambi :)



Aristocats is a favourite of mine because I am a serious cat lover. Marie is my favourite character, but I also love her brothers (and their names!) Toulouse and Berlioz. If I get any pets in the future, I hope to name them after these two adorable animated kitties!
The music is also something I adore, especially the track 'Everybody Wants to be a Cat', it's just such a feel good song!
My favourite scene in the entire movie is when the kittens and their momma have been thrown in a pond by Edgar, and Berlioz gets scared by a toad. It makes me laugh every time and I absolutely love it!



Next up is Frozen. This had to be in my top 5 as I adore it so so much! I love the music, especially 'Do You Wanna Build A Snowman' and 'Let It Go'. The characters are hilarious, especially Olaf and Sven, Olaf is my favourite! My favourite scene in this movie is where Anna, Kristoff, Olaf and Sven have fallen off the mountain after being chased by the giant ice monster. Kristoff hit his head, and when Anna asks if he is okay, he replies that he has a thick skull. Olaf then states 'I don't have a skull. Or bones.' Just the way he says it so matter-of-factly makes me laugh so much!



Mulan is in my top 5 as she is one badass chick. It's nice to see a heroine that needs no man to help her. She is the one who defeats the Huns and it's captain, not the men. She is amazing and an inspiration to young girls everywhere.
I also love the cricket and Mushu. They are hilarious!
My favourite part of this movie is when Mulan has been deserted after Shang finds out she is a woman. She is sat around a fire with Mushu, cricket and the horse when cricket tells them he is not lucky. Mushu exclaims, 'What do you mean you're not lucky? You lied to me?' Then turns to the horse and says 'And what are you a sheep?!'
It makes me giggle, Eddie Murphy is hilarious as Mushu.




Peter Pan also had to be in my favourites as it is just so magical. I love everything from the flying, to the mermaids and the pirates. 'Faith, trust and pixie dust' is one of my favourite quotes. My favourite characters are Smee and little Michael, Wendy's brother. He is just so adorable and reminds me a lot of myself when I was younger with his teddy bear! Smee is one of my favourites as he is so clumsy and stupid, you can't help but laugh at him!
My favourite part within this movie is when Smee puts boiling hot water in the bucket for Captain Hook and he shoots out of the chair burning. It just shows how silly poor Smee is!


And last but not least is Bambi. As I am an animal lover, anything including animals interests me! I also find that animals within Disney movies are also usually the funniest characters. My favourites in this film are Bambi and Thumper. My favourite quote is from Thumper, 'If you can't say something nice, don't saying nothing at all.' It has a much deeper meaning and I love how Disney include these things to help show children right from wrong. 
My favourite part of the movie is when Thumper is trying to teach Bambi how to say 'bird'. The way Bambi says the word is so cute and funny, my Mum and I sometimes say it to each other just for a giggle!

So there you have it, my top 5 Disney movies. 
Hope you enjoyed this post and the little insight into my interests it gives you. 
What are your favourite Disney movies? :)

Online Shopping | prettylittlewriter


Pay day arrived for me today, and to celebrate I have done some cheeky online shopping!


The first thing I knew I had to purchase was the Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser. I have heard many good things from both friends and other online bloggers about this product, so I decided I had to try it for myself!



The product description says it quickly removes daily grime and make up to leave skin clean, soft and radiant.

As I wear make up almost every day for work, something that works fast in removing it when I get home from an exhausting day is something I am very interested in! If you order the 100ml/200ml starter kit, you get two muslin cloths to use with the cleanser. http://uk.lizearle.com/


I currently use the ProActiv 3 Step System, all in all a great skincare regime for those of you that have plenty of time to focus on caring for your skin, but I found that the toner ran out a lot faster than the cleanser and the moisturiser, which means I had to purchase a different toner just so I could continue with the routine!







I replaced it with the Garnier Refreshing Toner, which does make my skin feel refreshed and awake, however using it with the ProActiv products has left my face with slight dry patches. Therefore I needed something new to use as the combination I am using now isn't right for my skin type.


The next couple of items I purchased aren't skincare related, and were purchased from http://www.exhibitshops.com/
This vogue purse was something I've been wanting for a long time, and since my current purse is slowly falling apart, I thought it was time to purchase a new one. I was searching for a brand called Vera and Lucy when I stumbled across the Exhibit website, and when I spotted this I knew I had to have it! It only costs £6 too, which is a bargain to me!

The next item was purchased from Selfridges and Co.

This mascara is a product I discovered from the lovely Zoella (who I mentioned in my previous blog post). It is the Charlotte Tilbury Full Fat Lashes Mascara. It claims to have everything you need for amazing lashes; curl, separation, volume, length, and drama. I have been using the Benefit They're Real mascara, which is great for volume and drama, however, my eyelashes never seem to curl well, whether that be because I am using a cheap eyelash curler or my eyelashes are naturally straight. I thought I'd give this product a try and see if it will improve my lashes. 

The next item is one of my favourite films and something I have longed to have on DVD but never got around to buying it. I have always been a sucker for a romantic film or novel, and Romeo and Juliet is the epitome of romance. It is also one of the saddest movies, along with Titantic, which also includes the lovely Leonardo DiCaprio. I purchased my copy from Amazon :)



The last site I visited was ASOS, and as I am going to Florida's Disney World very soon (58 days!!) I thought these would be a great accessory for my time there! I just thought these ears were really cute and would be a fabulous thing to wear as I am wandering around Disney World!




So that's it for my online spending spree today, look out for a mini haul from Primark and Boots coming next! :)

ProActiv 3 Step System and Garnier Refreshing Toner can be purchased from Boots.com
