Long-Term Disney Marathon

Hello there! I've decided to take this opportunity to watch all of the Disney films. I'm watching Pocahontas II at the moment. I am a very ashamed Disney fan to say that I hadn't seen quite a lot of them until now. My mum thought that they were too scary for me growing up. My excuse is that it's improving my language skills (I'm watching them in French). All of the songs are translated, too! "La vie est super, mieux que sur la terre, je te le dis!" (the little mermaid, under the sea). There's also "L'air du Vent" instead of colours of the wind... just little things like that. They didn't change John Smith's name is Pocahontas, though, and it's super English. I still think they're just absolutely adorable... and Arièl has an accent, just like Sébastien.

I really don't know why, but I'm incredibly attached to Disney films. I didn't grow up with them (except for Winnie the Pooh) and I didn't meet Tiana, Ariel, Pocahontas, or Rapunzel until this year, but I still love them. Who says an independent-world-travelling-young-woman can't like kid stuff? I have to admit that I haven't seen Aladdin (gasp) or Beauty and the Beast (double gasp).

HOWEVER, I used to watch Sleeping Beauty at my babysitter's house. I wasn't completely deprived of Disney. Don't tell my mother. The film scared me so much that I would hide behind a cushion for half of it, but I begged to watch it every time because I loved being scared. Sleeping Beauty is a horror movie for five-year-olds. I was such a weird child.

I also found a fantastic Disney parody song- If you ever wonder why Disney tales all end in lies, here's what happened after all their dreams came true...

If your mother deprived you of essential education when you were younger, leave a comment below! (or just tell me your favourite kid thing that you still do...)

So... yup. That's about it.

Sometimes I put food on my face | Cinnamon-Honey Sugar Mask/Scrub

Hello there! 
Hurray for putting food on your face! It turns out that when I was learning to eat, I was onto something. Everything that you put on your skin gets absorbed, so if you wouldn't eat it, don't put it on your skin. That said, this is my favourite natural mask/scrub to use. It leaves your skin feeling clean, soft and moisturised, but it's oil-free. Perfect for oily skin. It's fantastic for acne (even cystic acne) because of the calming and antibacterial effects of the honey, mixed with the bacteria-killing powers of cinnamon and glycolic acid and texture of sugar. Perfect. I use this as a mask and then scrub it off in the shower. Not only is it great for your skin, but it smells great too!
If you're feeling adventurous you can add some plain yogurt to the mixture, but it makes for a more runny mask.

Here's what to do:

Make it like I cook. Mix a couple shakes of cinnamon with approximately "I don't have a clue how much this is" of raw sugar (or white sugar) and a whole bunch of honey. However, with the honey less is more or the mask won't go on as thickly as you'd like.

Put it on your face. Pay special attention not to get it in your hair-- or you will definitely regret it later. 

Wait. Rub it around. Rinse. I leave it on for at least 15 minutes, then at the end of my shower I use it as an exfoliating scrub and rinse it off. 

There you have it! Now go and make your face as sweet-smelling and soft as mine! Got any favourite scrubs or masks yourself? Let me know below! So... yep. That's about it.

Oh, and just as a little footnote, I take all of my photos myself. Please don't steal them.
