I've been wanting to do a room tour for so long. I moved in with my girlfriend in September last year, we live at her house with her mum, dad and sister. We do want our own place one day but if you have your own place you'll know how expensive it is. We just wanted to see each other every day, so I got a job where Abbie lives and moved in! Don't get me wrong, it was tough at first, my life changed so much so quickly and I am such a mummy's girl. Within time it got so much easier and I am so much happier now. 

Anyway let's get to it. The picture above is where I am going to start, it's a section of our shelving unit. The prettiest section. The top shelf has all our Disney classics DVD collection and any Tsum Tsums we own. You'll be able to tell in our room how much we love Disney. The 2nd shelf is mainly Abbie's books, we share Zoe's ones and Dems one, the I heart books are mine, the rest are Abbie's. We have some shot glasses which I think Abbie is starting to collect now. Then of course we have a few more Disney bits, I got those from work colleagues when I left my previous job, they definitely know what I like! On the shelf underneath I have a huge collection of snow globes from countries I've visited. I always have to get one, Cape Verde didn't sell them so I was gutted to not take one home.

Our bedside table looking clean and tidy for once. On the left is a candle holder from Card Factory (I think) they don't sell them anymore but I am sure you can find something similar in other shops. The photo clip in the middle is from Primark, pretty sure it was only £1. We added some cute polaroids/photobooth pictures which I love. The mini fake plant is from Primark which was £2. In the corner is a tray which is from Walt Disney Studios in Paris which we put all our jewellery on. The candle is from Clintons, it was there at Christmas time and reduced to half price, it smells amazing.

This is currently what our bed looks like, we went with a green/pink theme for summer. Simba and Nala look super cute but they do always fall down the side of the bed, least they look cute for the photo right? The pillow I ordered online, you could personalise it and add whichever characters you wanted to and then of course add your own names in the middle. 

Fairy lights and polaroid pictures are a must! They make a room look so cosy and cute. We put some of our favourite polaroids on with a mixture of mini pegs and pegs with white hearts on. If you have no fairy lights, I suggest you get some, they make such a difference

Above our bed and the polaroids we have these 2 frames. I drew both of them! The first one I drew for Abbie's 17th birthday. It was her first birthday that I got to celebrate with her. It is very cringey and cheesy but when you first get with someone that's what you're like! It is super cute and I am proud of it, and she loved it too which is the most important thing. The next one I did more recently but cannot remember if it was a Christmas present or birthday, oops. I drew all the princesses and drew their signatures next to them. She loved that one too yay!!

To the left of our bed we have 2 cork boards. Filled with photos, receipts and memories. The top one is mine, it has a mixture of things such as our luggage tags from DLP, VIP lanyard from Fifth Harmony, a Matilda bookmark and M&G wristbands. I think this is such a nice way to display some of your favourite memories. They're so easy to make and you can get a cork board in Asda for £5 or less.

Lastly we have our Disney ears collection display. The top one which is Donald Duck, I made those ears for Abbie. I wanted to make more and bought loads of materials I just haven't gotten round to making anymore. The next pair are Christmas ones I got last year. I doubt I'll be able to go around Christmas time for a while so I had to pick those up. (We haven't been to WDW together, that is the ultimate dream. So any of these ears I say are from Disney will be DLP) The next ears are the first pair I bought, as soon as I walked into the park in 2015 I bought those. They are a little uncomfortable, you couldn't wear them all day, but they are the classic ears which you must have when visiting Disney. Abbie bought the magician ears, I don't think I have worn them yet. The last ears I got from an Etsy store called lubyandlola. She makes amazing ears, her store is incredible, they're so affordable and the ears are super comfy.

Hope you guys enjoyed this room tour, I didn't realise how much Disney we had until I started writing this! I'd love if anyone would leave a comment and let me know what you think. Thank you!

Today I thought I would do a post about the books I read on holiday and what I thought of them. I love going on holiday because I get back into reading and try to read as many books as I can, I wish I had taken more.

1. Where Am I Now? - Mara Wilson

Ever since I was little Matilda has been my favourite film. I wish I could tell you how many times I've seen it, it's far in the hundreds. I still love watching it now. I saw Mara had a book coming out so I asked for it for Christmas, I read the first few pages and then put it back on my book shelf and completely forgot to read it. So when out holiday was coming up I knew that was the first one I was going to read. If you love Matilda or any of the films Mara has been in, I would suggest giving it a read. I love it, it helped me get to know Mara more and find out things I never knew. She tells stories of what it was like working on Matilda and the cast, I just remember smiling whilst reading the chapter that was all about Matilda.

2. Girl Online Going Solo - Zoe Sugg

I do love books that are aimed at teenagers, I find them so cute and always a happy read. I have read Zoe's previous 2 books and I love them, so of course I was going to read the 3rd. The love story of Penny and Noah is really cute. I won't give any spoilers for those who haven't read it yet, but you just want them to live happily ever after. I love all the characters in this book, Elliot is my favourite. I also love that her books are set in Brighton, I've been to Brighton many times and so I can picture the places whilst I'm reading it. I would definitely recommend Zoe's books.

3. Everything Everything - Nicola Yoon

This book was SO good. One of my favourites that I read this holiday. Everything Everything is about a girl who cannot go outside her house, she is allergic to the world. She has spent her whole life inside. She starts talking to this boy named Olly who has just moved in across the street and from then on everything changes. I would recommend reading this as the film comes out in the UK in August I believe. I did read this book quite quickly, but it is worth the read. She also has a book out called "The sun is also a star" let me know if you've read it as I'm interested in reading it myself.

4. Pretty Little Liars - Sara Shepard

Anyone that knows me knows that I love Pretty Little Liars. I am up to date with the whole series and I love it! I have never read the books but Abbie bought this on holiday so I thought I'd give it a read. Some things are slightly different to the series, such as how they describe how characters look and most of them smoke in the books. But apart from that it was all pretty much the same, I kind of want to read more of the books, are they worth reading?

5. The Couple Next Door - Shari Lapena

Abbie bought this at the airport as we ordered 13 Reasons Why from Amazon and it never turned up. Once she was done with it I thought I'd give it a read as I had read all my books. It's a book about a couple who go to their next door neighbours house for a dinner party, and their baby girl goes missing from her crib. I must admit I thought the book was good, but not great. I spent the whole time reading it getting way too impatient to know what happened. I wasn't sure on the ending either, it wasn't an ending I expected. I saw this book had good reviews but for me I wouldn't rate it that high.

Thank you for reading! I am on the hunt for more books to read, if you have any suggestions please leave me a comment below as I'll be reading and looking up on any books suggested, Thank you!
