<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In the next handful of weeks, this little blog will be no more. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Fear not! I will not be disappearing, more like having a makeover and rebranding. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As life is changing, I have felt the content of my blog shift, and the things I want to write about don't necessarily fit the original theme or topics I had intended to write about here. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am making the move to a self-hosted Wordpress platform, as I feel the layout options and general ease of use is more tailored to my changing needs. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All content from Love Miss Walker will still be available to read in the archives of my new space, and posts won't be changing too much, they will just be a bit narrower in subject and there will be no Teaching component. When I started LMW, I had intended to make it predominately a Teaching blog, but discovered that as much as I truly love my job, I wasn't passionate about writing about it. I found I am most passionate about sharing beauty products, organisation projects and tools, travel tips and reports and home life. So that is the direction the new website will be taking. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once I have finished the re-branding and changeover process (I am hoping in around a month from now), this blog will be linked directly to the new website. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In the meantime, there will be no new posts on LMW, as I will be busy creating content for when the new site goes live.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thank you to all of my loyal readers, I am still surprised that people other than my husband actually read my posts and are interested in what I have to say! I hope that you will continue to visit after the move. In the meantime, be sure to follow me on<a href="http://instagram.com/brookewalkr" target="_blank"> Instagram</a> or <a href="http://pinterst.com/brookewalkr/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> to see updates. </div>

This week (5th - 11th October) marks the first <a href="https://www.grahambrown.com/uk/blog/inspirations/national-wallpaper-week-themes" target="_blank">Graham & Brown Wallpaper Week</a>. Wallpaper has made a comeback in the design world in a big way, and I can't wait for our build to be finished so I can start decorating walls and spaces and making our house feel like a home. Wallpaper can bring life to a corner of your home, and can set a mood depending on the texture, colour and print it displays.<br />
<br />
I think it it is very important to create a space in your home that feels like a retreat. Yes - it is great to go on a resort holiday where you can relax, but wouldn't it be amazing if you could recreate this feeling in your own home? I have been pinning like a mad woman during the build, and plan on making a focus of our Master Bedroom a quiet little reading nook.<br />
Everyone has different ways of relaxing and setting themselves up for a successful week. I like to start my week off with a planning session in my <a href="http://lovemisswalker.blogspot.com.au/2015/09/midori-travelers-notebook-style-planner.html" target="_blank">Pelledori Traveler's Notebook</a>, and having a calm little space to do so is very important to me. Other ways I like to relax by are reading books, magazines or blogs with a cup of coffee (or wine, depending on the time of day!), having a Pinterest pinning session or watching a few of my favourite shows.<br />
<br />

Blues and greys have long been classed as calming colours (which works for me as they are two of my favourites!) so with that in mind, I have created a mood board to help inspire me when I finally get to create this space. I hope it also inspires you! I am looking forward to the next few Graham & Brown posts when we are in our house and I can start to share some of our spaces with you all.<br />

Just dropping by with a quick Skincare related post for you all! I get asked quite frequently what I use on my skin, as what I recommend for individual friends. I have expressed my love for a few products in the past, but have never compiled it in an all-in-one post. I will showcase the order I use the products in, and provide a brief description about the purpose of each product, as well as links with more information and where to purchase them.<br />
<br />
I have quite similar routines for morning and night, with obvious products like sunscreen being left out in the PM etc. Now - my routine is by no means perfect, and some of these products may not work for everyone, but they are currently working for me. There are some staples that I don't see myself ever getting rid of, but I will quite often mix up my moisturisers, cleansers and treatment products. One thing missing from my routine is a Vitamin C Serum, and I am currently on the hunt for one - if anyone has any suggestions, feel free to leave a comment below!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I do not use a cleanser in the morning, rather just splash my face with cold water and have done this my entire adult life. I think over-cleansing can cause issues with skin (especially when using a stripping cleanser!).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DW909OS/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00DW909OS&linkCode=as2&tag=lovmiswal-20&linkId=TKK3BAT23ZLCGGLA" target="_blank">SKII Facial Treatment Essence</a>. This product is something I can not go a day without. Made from 90% <a href="http://www.sk-ii.com/about-us-miracle.html" target="_blank">Pitera</a> (the company's signature ingredient), it leaves your skin feeling moisturised, and helps maintain the skin's natural renewal cycle, which in turn creates a wonderful glow. I have been using this product everyday for the past 6 years and would be a 'Desert Island' selection for me. </div>
<br />
2. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004I788UK/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B004I788UK&linkCode=as2&tag=lovmiswal-20&linkId=7FO3MJ67RMPAYADX" target="_blank">Clinique Even Better Clinical</a>. Another product I have been using for about 6 years. Being quite fair skinned (and not into tanning - I am pretty much Snow White all year round), some pesky pigmentation spots became slightly visible on my cheekbones when I was quite young. Only really visible to me, I still wanted something to make these fade AND stop new ones from forming. Enter this product. I definitely stand by the Even Better and it's fading powers, and have occasionally tried other newer concoctions, but always come back to this. It is something you need to use consistently to see results, and you MUST wear at least an SPF30, otherwise it is a complete waste of time! Bonus points for this product - it also helps to fade those annoying red spots that acne can leave behind.<br />
<br />
3. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003DQP0NK/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B003DQP0NK&linkCode=as2&tag=lovmiswal-20&linkId=JQCJ4YM4K3FQPS4G" target="_blank">Perricone MD Vitamin C Ester Eye Serum.</a> Another one from the 6 year family! This product firms, brightens and restores the under eye area like no other. It sinks into the skin in an instant, and despite the name, it isn't really 'serumy' (made up word, I know) like most serums are - more like a slightly oily water. Would not go a day with out this product either.<br />
<br />
4. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MNA4G6Y/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00MNA4G6Y&linkCode=as2&tag=lovmiswal-20&linkId=MFYQVWGT5HHPTIME" target="_blank">REN Keep Young and Beautiful Eye Cream</a>. This is a relatively new product to my collection, so I am unable to give you my long-term thoughts, however the last month or so I have been using it, I have really liked it. It claims to 'dramatically reduce the appearance of wrinkles, crows feet and deep expression lines around the eyes'. I don't really experience any of those yet, but I am all about prevention. I find it very moisturising and replenishing.<br />
<br />
5. <a href="http://mecca.com.au/on/demandware.store/Sites-MeccaAU-Site/default/Link-Product?pid=I-017490" target="_blank">Mecca Cosmetica To Save Face SPF 30+</a>. Yet another 6 year baby. Can you tell I got 'serious' about my skincare at a certain point in my life? Love this sunscreen. Although I would prefer to use a Physical rather than a Chemical sunscreen, I am yet to find one that my skin likes. This Mecca sunscreen also doubles as my morning moisturiser and primer as it sinks in like a dream and isn't even remotely greasy. Triple win.<br />
<br />
Despite what it may look like, my Morning Routine does not take me that long, and after I have applied my sunscreen, I start with my make up application.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7TDFwYLRWnGUNgWqqwz04AGgCG4G2kK9WutrMuI2zdhzJ_uNn_c8rwjz7GpC_dBKAX9oWhtKb781z9cHwOl2p6JfOPPcLZhl7mFeDpF28yKMg6XgFoQKMEq7Hu6RxYp691BQviOtNu0zv/s1600/Night+Routine.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="review" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7TDFwYLRWnGUNgWqqwz04AGgCG4G2kK9WutrMuI2zdhzJ_uNn_c8rwjz7GpC_dBKAX9oWhtKb781z9cHwOl2p6JfOPPcLZhl7mFeDpF28yKMg6XgFoQKMEq7Hu6RxYp691BQviOtNu0zv/s1600/Night+Routine.jpg" title="Skincare Routine" /></a></div>
<br />
Some of these products are double ups from my Morning Routine, so I will not go into any detail in regards to those. Like I mentioned earlier, Moisturiser is something I change quite often, and sometimes think about going back to my good old Oil of Olay I used for over a decade, but being the beauty junkie that I am, I love trying new products too much to settle on a permanent moisturiser...<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
1. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002LA53V8/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B002LA53V8&linkCode=as2&tag=lovmiswal-20&linkId=KBG5YSP7YAVKG4KA" target="_blank">Bioderma Sensibio H20 Micelle Solution</a>. This is what I use to remove my makeup with cotton rounds. I have tried a few of the other Cleansing Waters that have come into the market in the past year or two, and to be honest - they seem fine to me! I try to purchase this one when it is on sale at Priceline, as I do favour it just slightly over the other brands. Great for removing makeup and it is very gentle on the skin.<br />
<br />
2. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FT9WZYG/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00FT9WZYG&linkCode=as2&tag=lovmiswal-20&linkId=UCKV5EJY2PT5GTBB" target="_blank">Lush Angels on Bare Skin</a>. I don't really like foaming cleansers (can not stand that squeaky-clean feeling that so many desire. How can that possible be good for your skin??) and have used Cetaphil for as long as I can remember. Just recently I have mixed up my cleansers and tried a few different ones based on reviews from other bloggers. This cleanser has got quite the write up all over the www, so thought I'd try it to see if it was worth the hype. I love the smell (lavender is one of my very favourite scents), and although it is a little bit of 'hard work' (you need to turn the clay product into a cream by adding water), I am quite enjoying using Angels. It brightens your skin instantly and makes you feel awake (which possibly isn't the desired outcome of a night time routine, but oh well...) and really cleans your skin, minus the 'squeak'.<br />
<br />

Ok - big disclaimer here. I have never actually purchased this product. I have been lucky and receivied quite a few samples over my time with other purchases at SKII or through the Membership Rewards. It is quite expensive and I am unsure as to whether I would actually pay retail for this product. Yes - I love it, but not sure if I <i>$200-worth</i> love it... Will keep you posted on that one. Like I said - it may be back to my trust <a href="https://www.priceline.com.au/brand/olay/olay-moisturising-sensitive-cream-100-g" target="_blank">Oil of Olay</a>...<br />
<br />
I also use a variety of oils in-lieu of moisturiser (<a href="https://www.kosmea.com.au/rose_hip_oil" target="_blank">Rosehip Oils</a>, Oil Blends etc) or on top of my moisturiser every other night, which I know many people are afraid of if they have oily skin. Don't be!! Using an oil product actually helps to counteract the skin's natural oiliness, and quite often results in you skin producing less oil. Confusing I know!! But let the results speak for themselves.<br />
<br />
8. <a href="http://mecca.com.au/mecca-cosmetica/lip-de-luscious-treatment/I-017501.html" target="_blank">Mecca Cosmetica Lip De Luscious</a>. Oh MY how I love this overnight treatment. You wake up with plump, moisturised lips and you can totally cancel your next Juvederm appointment if used religiously (Kidding! Kind of.)<br />

These are products I use occasionally. This could mean once a week, once a fortnight, or just when ever I feel the need!<br />
<br />
1. <a href="https://t.cfjump.com/t/28271/532/alpha-h-brand/alpha-h-liquid-gold.html?UniqueId=28271%22%20rel=%22noindex,nofollow" target="_blank">Alpha H Liquid Gold</a>. This is a product I love, but find it quite harsh so only use it about once or twice a week. Made with 5% Glycolic Acid, it is an Award Winning resurfacing treatment that should be a part of everyone's routine. The nights I use this I do not use any other products (feels weird, but that is what the company recommends!) and it leaves the skin feeling super soft and glowy the following day. It fights sun damage, wrinkles and spots, and really is 'liquid gold' in a bottle.<br />
<br />
2. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JDVP18S/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00JDVP18S&linkCode=as2&tag=lovmiswal-20&linkId=624PXQ6M67YJHRJ6" target="_blank">SKII Facial Treatment Mask </a>. These are something that I can not travel with out - especially on long haul flights. They are cooling and nourishing on tired, dehydrated skin and helps with the inevitable 'jet lag skin'. I do use them occasionally at home, or before an event, but I mostly like to save them for travel.<br />
<br />
3. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002UF4W6G/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B002UF4W6G&linkCode=as2&tag=lovmiswal-20&linkId=MHMZ2RPLACT2BEW2" target="_blank">SKII Signs Eye Mask</a>. Another product I have been using for quite some time - I like to use <a href="http://www.myer.com.au/shop/mystore/napoleon-perdis-napoleon-perdis-auto-pilot-eye-masks" target="_blank">these</a> Napoleon Eye Masks for travel as I find they are perfect for tired, puffy travel eyes - but use the SKII masks as a fortnightly treatment at home. They contain Pitera, like most other SKII products, and help to combat the early signs of ageing. I assume they are working, as I haven't had too many lines appear as yet!<br />
<br />
So there you have it. My Daily Beauty Routine in one lovely little post for you. Like I mentioned earlier - this is by no means perfect, and I am not a beauty expert - although very interested in this area so I am constantly researching and reading about products and ingredients.<br />
<br />
Do you use any of these products?<br />
<br />
What are some of your favourites?<br />
<br />
Are there any products you thing I should try?<br />

Hi Guys! Today I have for you a look at the new planning system I have recently adopted. You probably remember only a few months ago I ordered the new <a href="https://www.erincondren.com/referral/invite/brookewalker1002" target="_blank">Erin Condern</a> Life Planner in Rose Gold and showed all of it's beauty in <a href="http://lovemisswalker.blogspot.com.au/2015/07/erin-condren-life-planner-2015-2016.html" target="_blank">this</a> post. Now - I still love this planner and still recommend it and all the other Erin Condren prodcuts highly. This year the company made a few changes to the Life Planner, and one of them being a bigger coil. I didn't think much of this upon ordering, but as I got a few weeks into using the planner, I soon discovered that the coil was just too large. I am one of those people that carries my planner around everywhere and uses it to refer back to many times a day for lists and to-dos. The larger coil just made it too awkward to carry around with me. I started to leave it at home/school and transfer lists to another piece of note paper, but that proved to be counter-productive and just plain annoying! So sadly, I made the choice to repurpose my Life Planner (I will showcase this at some point) and started the search for a new planner.<br />
<br />
Recently, I started seeing the <a href="http://www.midori-japan.co.jp/tr/english/" target="_blank">Midori </a>(or Fauxdori in most cases) pop up on Instagram and Pinterest. I liked the look of this cute little Japanese invented system of interchangeable notebooks, so I started researching. I stumbled across <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9meAKClud0" target="_blank">this </a>Video by Youtuber Brittany at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/vasseurbeauty" target="_blank">VasseurBeauty </a>and she pretty much sold me. So over to Etsy I went and found the gorgeous array of designs by <a href="https://www.etsy.com/au/shop/Pellestudio" target="_blank">Pelle Studio</a>. After many agonising days of trying to decide what colour Pelledori to purchase (you can't go wrong, and that makes it even harder to choose! hashtag libraproblems) I decided on the Mint and Lush Grey (I also purchased one for my sister's birthday gift).<br />
The turn around was quite fast, and I received my planner from Hong Kong in under two weeks. The lovely Cindy is always there ready to help and answer your questions (I had a change of heart after placing the order and wanted to change a colour I'd chosen. Cindy happily did this for me with a <a href="https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/247643038/make-changes-to-your-order?ref=shop_home_active_17" target="_blank">small fee</a> and responded very quickly!). I would definitely re-order from this store and recommend it to all.<br />
Now for a look at the gorgeous products! (and as usual - Photos are sub-par due to my lighting issues. I know I sound like a broken record! But just need to say it...not even photoshop can help these babies. Hopefully this will be one of the last averagely-lit posts as our house is SO close to being finished!!)<br />

A Pelledori Traveler's Notebook comes in a variety of sizes, the one I chose was Regular, Extra Wide. I decided on this size rather than just the Regular so I had the option of adding more notebooks should I need them without the cover becoming too small and creating 'insert overhang'. It has 4 elastics (which you can insert one notebook into - pictured below - or two, which gives you a grand total of 8 notebooks if desired!)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To insert the notebooks, you simply slip it through the elastic! </div>

I have been using my Pelledori for a a few weeks now, and as they say in the online planner community, I think I have found my 'Planner Peace'. This just seems to work for me and I love having planner and notebooks combined in one easy to access system. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I plan to use the inserts I have until the end of this year, and purchase some new ones for next year. I will pop back with another Pelledori Post in a few weeks to run through some customisable options and also store recommendations on where to purchase inserts. </div>

Upon being invited to become a <a href="http://lovemisswalker.blogspot.com.au/2015/08/horizon-holiday-memories.html" target="_blank">Brand Ambassador</a> for <a href="https://www.grahambrown.com/uk" target="_blank">Graham & Brown</a>, I took some time to get to know all products that they have on offer, be they related to my needs or not. As a teacher of Little Ones, I always like to have my finger on the pulse in regards to products that are child related - be it to share with my Parents or to be able to engage in the Children's conversations throughout the day.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEiZpQGX3EOPZ-bWRj_-IAZyEp9OwZTliv2vpHQyaysBSQ9hPwwoRZoVkcbzOcjERRPqTI82EsCry31TgeCgP89ApQ90Co_WR46sMK2VfHj3GKLNT5i6j9hS2ijR_P5iJo-tX9iSiFcTEn/s1600/Disney+Post+15.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEiZpQGX3EOPZ-bWRj_-IAZyEp9OwZTliv2vpHQyaysBSQ9hPwwoRZoVkcbzOcjERRPqTI82EsCry31TgeCgP89ApQ90Co_WR46sMK2VfHj3GKLNT5i6j9hS2ijR_P5iJo-tX9iSiFcTEn/s640/Disney+Post+15.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

I was happily surprised to see that Graham & Brown have many different <a href="https://www.grahambrown.com/uk/kids-decor" target="_blank">Disney and Marvel</a> themed products to help make Children's spaces both stylish and child-orientated (a match made in heaven, am I right?!). What Little One doesn't dream of taking a trip to Disney (and the lucky ones that have, surely reminisce often about their magical vacation!). So with that in mind, I decided to create a Horizon Trend inspirational post for Little Ones, and the spaces in your home dedicated to them (as well as the child in all of us).<br />
<br />
<b>Subtle Memories</b><br />
Some people may just want to add a touch of magic to a child's space, and not make any permanent changes. Graham & Brown offer a range of tasteful <a href="https://www.grahambrown.com/uk/kids-decor/by-brand/disney" target="_blank">Disney artwork</a>, some of which would look as much at home in a child-free home, as they would in a Kids Room.<br />

As with any wallpaper options - the beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Some are loud and over the top, others are more subdued and classic.

<b>For the Brave!</b><br />
I have actually attended a Home-Open in the past where in the kids playroom, a scene from Finding Nemo was wallpapered across one entire wall. I wasn't sure if I loved it, but it has stuck in my head the few years following and I am sure the children that it belonged to absolutely loved it! Graham and Brown have some similar options for the true Disney Fan...<br />

I have some very exciting news to share with you all! I was recently invited to become a Brand Ambassador for the gorgeous UK wall interiors group, <a href="https://www.grahambrown.com/uk" target="_blank">Graham & Brown</a>. Of course I said yes straight away - as I am building a house, I had already stumbled across some of the gorgeous Wallpaper Graham & Brown has on offer in my many hours spent researching decor for our new home. So I am super thrilled to be working with the talented team and be able to share with you my favourite designs and decorating inspirations on a monthly basis.<br />

Some background on the company - Founded in 1948 by Harold Graham and Henry Brown, the brand has grown with it's customers and offers fashion-forward designs across 4 continents and 65 countries throughout the world. Wallpaper, Kids Decor, Wall Art, Paint and Home Accessories are items that Graham and Brown specialise in and everything they do, they do it well!<br />
<br />
Each month I will be sharing my ideas and thoughts on a particular design trend, as a part of Graham & Brown's Year in Design initiative. This month, I am exploring the '<a href="https://www.grahambrown.com/uk/blog/design-talk/horizon" target="_blank">Horizon</a>' trend. Nature is a big influencer in a lot of people's decor, and personally, I love to create subtle reminders of special vacations and trips within our home.<br />
<br />
As we were <a href="http://lovemisswalker.blogspot.com.au/2015/06/our-hawaiian-wedding.html" target="_blank">married</a> in <a href="http://lovemisswalker.blogspot.com.au/2015/07/disneys-aulani-resort-hawaii.html" target="_blank">Hawaii</a> at the beginning of the year, the Hawaiian Islands hold a very special place in our hearts. If I ever find a Hawaiian scented body wash, candle, soap - you name it - I will most likely purchase it as a little daily reminder of our magical trip.<br />
<br />
When I spied the <a href="https://www.grahambrown.com/uk/product/32-969-honolulu-palm-green" target="_blank">Honolulu Palm Wallpaper</a> by designer <a href="http://julienmacdonald.com/" target="_blank">Julien MacDonald</a>, I was in love.<br />
<br />
<i style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20.0004005432129px;">"This ultra hip palm leaf wallpaper design hits the tropical fashion trend of the moment, this gorgeous design is very versatile allowing you to create real drama with the darker colourways or a more subtle effect with the neutrals. With a glittering background and metallic embellishments to the leaf it's got to be the hottest look of the season. This statement wallpaper design in palm green, white and metallic looks fabulous on all four walls, or if you prefer you can use as a feature or parallel wall utilising the Disco white design as the coordinate. This design would look perfect in any room of your home, and better still so you can spend less time decorating and more time relaxing we've produced the collection using our paste the wall technology which means it's far easier to hang and remove, so what are you waiting for embrace your inner glitter" </i><br />

Given that our new house is still a month or two away from being finished, I am going to create a mood board based around this amazing wallpaper. I could see this statement wallpaper as a feature in a guest bedroom or even to make a Home Office feel fun, cheerful and inviting.<br />

The Honolulu Palm Wallpaper also comes in two other colour versions, <a href="https://www.grahambrown.com/uk/product/32-967-honolulu-white-ice" target="_blank">White Ice</a> and <a href="https://www.grahambrown.com/uk/product/32-968-honolulu-duck-egg" target="_blank">Duck Egg</a> and honestly - how could you really choose between the three?!I could imagine the White Ice as as beautiful backdrop in a Master Bedroom behind a cool grey fabric headboard, and the Duck Blue as a feature wall in a Theatre Room or Formal Sitting area.<br />

Like most <a href="https://www.erincondren.com/referral/invite/brookewalker1002" target="_blank">Erin Condren</a> fans, I waited with eager anticipation for the launch of the new LifePlanner back in June. I ordered a day or two after the launch, and only just received my order. With all of the changes the company has made this year to the LifePlanner, the launch was super successful, hence the long wait. That and I live in Australia, so shipping takes a while. Luckily, the wait was worth it! <br />

I was lucky enough to get my hands on the Rose Gold edition, and I hope this becomes a regular feature for all planners in years to come as it is so pretty. I will be interested to see how the rose gold coil holds up in comparison to the silver in terms of scratches and tarnishing, but my hopes are high as this option costs more than both the silver and gold coils.<br />

So, what are the changes the company has made? All great ones in my opinion, and I will list below :</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
+ Rose Gold option (although currently sold out!).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
+ Horizontal layout <i>and</i> a vertical layout option (the original EC style).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
+ Removal of the 'busy-ness' on the pages. The old 'morning, day, night' headings have been removed from the columns, unnecessary decorations have been removed from the weekly spreads, and an overall 'clean' look is given to the planners.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
+ A pastel/jewel colour theme for the new horizontal layout (one of the main reasons I ended up choosing the horizontal layout, I detested the October colour scheme in the vertical!!), as well as matching standard stickers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
+ A ruler that is less busy also, so is practically see-through.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
+ A prettier plastic pocket with no red strip (did anyone else really dislike that red strip??).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
+ A notes page at the beginning of each month, with a quote on the opposite page (rather than at the top of each monthly spread like previous years).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
+ A monthly goal setting section.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
+ A 'thankful thought' box in each weekly spread rather than a mini calendar. I think this is a really sweet idea!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
+ A fancy foil and velum cover pager when you open the planner.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
+ New markers (purchased separately) that are slightly different in colour to the old ones and do not bleed through the pages. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
+ A new sticker book (purchased separately) full of gorgeous foil stickers to decorate your planner (Yes, that is a thing. And yes, I participate...).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
+ A larger coil able to support the ever-expanding LifePlanner as the year goes on. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
+ Graph paper in the notes section.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
I am extremely excited to start planning in my new beauty. I have been stalking people's Instagram and blogs for weeks for inspiration on how to plan in the horizontal spread and I'm keen to put my own spin on it. I'm not one of the super 'busy' decorators that cover every inch of the week in stickers. I like adding a bit of colour and fun, but in a practical sense. I do, however, still appreciate those types of scrapbook spreads! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If you are thinking about placing an order with Erin Condren, I have a <a href="https://www.erincondren.com/referral/invite/brookewalker1002" target="_blank">special link </a>where you can receive $10 off your first purchase! For full disclosure, it will also give me $10 off my next purchase, but sharing is caring, correct??</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And one more thing before I sign off - those of you that have purchased EC previously, have you experienced the annoying 'peeling' or separating of the cover corners? This has happened to both my Teacher Planner and LifePlanner. A simple solution is to run your GHDs over the damaged corner very quickly a few times. This re-seals the plastic and by doing it quickly, you don't distort the shape or melt it completely! You're welcome! ;) </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Planning!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
During our recent trip to Hawaii, we stayed at <a href="http://resorts.disney.go.com/aulani-hawaii-resort/" target="_blank">Disney's Aulani Resort and Spa</a>, which is located in Ko Olina, on the leeward coast of Oahu. If you haven't gathered by now, I am a bit of a Disney Girl and kid at heart, and love all things Disney. Luckily, my Husband is also a kid at heart and has as much fun as I do exploring Disney's creations around the world. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
While researching our trip, I looked into other hotels as resorts as a bit of a 'due diligence', but always knew we would end up staying at Aulani. I will run through the pros and cons of staying at this Heaven on Earth, general tips, what we got up to and of course - photos! </div>

<b>Resort Information and History</b><br />
Aulani means "messenger of the chief" and opened on the shores of Ko Olina in 2011. Aulani celebrates Hawaiian culture, history and traditions while adding a touch of subtle Disney Magic to the everyday resort happenings. The resort spans over 21 acres on the edge of a private lagoon and you truly feel like you are in your own little paradise. With Ko Olina Golf Course across the road, as well as a selection of shops and restaurants, there is plenty to keep you occupied within the area.<br />
A variety of rooms are available, from standard studio styles to family suites. Rooms are on the side of pricey, starting at just under $400 USD a night, but if you keep an eye out on the Aulani website, deals like <a href="http://resorts.disney.go.com/aulani-hawaii-resort/rooms-offers/special-offers/" target="_blank">these</a> pop up all the time. We stayed in a 1 Bedroom suite over looking the resort pools and ocean (view from our balcony is displayed in the picture above) and it was absolutely stunning (not to mention bigger than our current apartment...).<br />
Aulani is a decent car ride out of Waikiki. If you are after a fast-paced holiday, nightspots to go out to and shopping centres, Aulani is probably not the resort for you. It is easy enough to spend the day in Waikiki and get your tourist and shopping fix, but probably not quite the same as just 'popping out' if you are staying in Waikiki. If you are after a true, relaxing vacation, then I would highly suggest looking into this resort.<br />

<b><b><br /></b>
Getting There</b><br />
There is no Disney transport from the airport like other Disney destinations, and if you are planning to do a lot of sight-seeing during your trip, I highly recommend hiring a car. Aulani is about a half-hour trip from the airport (in good traffic) and an expensive taxi ride. If your holiday will be more resort-based with only a few days of sight-seeing, it will be more cost effective to catch a taxi from the airport, and hire a car from the resort on the days you require it. We went with this option and also utilised the shuttle bus services on offer to <a href="http://resorts.disney.go.com/aulani-hawaii-resort/activities/things-to-do-in-oahu/" target="_blank">different locations</a> around the Island, organised through the resort. Check-in is not until 3pm, however our room was ready upon arrival, so we were able to get into the room as soon as we arrived which we were not expecting!<br />
<br />
<b>Resort Tips</b><br />
+ This tip will not be new to regular Disney Vacationers, but purchase a refillable cup as soon as you arrive. A variety of cold drinks and coffee are available for unlimited refills through out your stay. If you are a coffee drinker, I would recommend purchasing a separate cup for coffee, as the plastic the cup is made from seems to retain the coffee scent and effects the way the rest of your beverages taste. I ended up using my breakfast voucher for my morning coffee and getting a disposable cup each day.<br />

<br />
+ Get up early. I know this may not seem ideal on a Vacation, but for the days you are planing to spend around the resort, it is well worth it, especially in peak times. Placing your towels on chairs a bit before the pools open (8am) to secure prime positions is useful if you are concerned about that type of thing. The line for Ulu Cafe can also start to get quite long after 8-9am, so getting there early will also save you time. If you are only after cereal/bagel/fruit etc, remember that the big queue outside the cafe is for the hot food. You are able to walk straight in and just wait for the register line if you do not want a hot breakfast.<br />

+ Buy your snacks outside of the resort. Eating resort-only food gets very expensive. There is an ABC Store across the road which has a variety of snack food, as well as a Target about 7 minutes down the road. We purchased wines, cheese, crackers, bars, sweets etc from these stores so we had ample fuel for the day and weren't tempted by the Mickey Mouse shaped treats quite as often as we could have been...<br />

<complete id="goog_595921100">+ </complete>Plan to have no plan for a part of your trip. We opted for a relaxed resort day every second day, and visited elsewhere on the island on the 'off days'. We really wanted this trip to feel like a relaxing holiday, but still wanted to do some sight seeing, and as we were lucky enough to be staying for two weeks, we were able to plan our trip like that.<br />

+ Book restaurant reservations as soon as you make your resort booking. In peak season, some restaurants can book out (especially the character breakfast!) so be sure to get in early. You can make these reservations through your Disney account. 'AMA'AMA is a must - the food is amazing and the setting just perfect. We dined here the night before our wedding it it was a very special night for us. The character breakfast is also a must for Disney Fans (food was standard Disney buffet) and all of the separate <a href="http://resorts.disney.go.com/aulani-hawaii-resort/dining/" target="_blank">bars and cafes</a> around the resort each have something different to offer.<br />

+ Grab the daily newsletter, The Daily Iwa from the information area in the Lobby. It tells you the resort schedule for the day and evening, including character meet and greet times and locations. You will see Minnie, Mickey and Goofy quite easily every day, but Stitch, Donald and Chip and Dale are a bit harder to find if you aren't sure of the schedule.</div>

In the two weeks that we were at Aulani, it felt like we only just scratched the surface of things to do around the resort. You could not leave the place for your entire trip and still have something new to do each day. An extensive list of all the resort has to offer can be found <a href="http://resorts.disney.go.com/aulani-hawaii-resort/activities/" target="_blank">here</a>, but some of our favourites were :</div>

+ Waikolohe Stream, or the Lazy River. Oh my, how I loved the lazy river!!! I went around and around every resort day that we had. Beware of the cheeky spots where you may get wet... if this is not your thing, you can easily learn how to avoid them after a few laps. There are also 2 water slides that are a part of the Waikolohe Valley. I am more of a roller coaster gal, but went on them once and they weren't bad. </div>

I will leave this post here, and finish up with some photos of the resort and resort area and just say that if you a Disney Resort Fan, Aulani should definitely be added to the Disney Bucket List. We would return in a heartbeat. If you are after a detailed trip report and more information on the resort, head on over the the lovelies at <a href="http://www.disneytouristblog.com/aulani-resort-spa-trip-planning-guide/" target="_blank">Disney Tourist Blog</a>.

<br />
As our house build is moving along quickly, we have started to look at purchasing feature items such as our bed, couches and a dining suite. We made the decision on our new bed last weekend (we are upgrading to a king size, our current queen bed will become the guest bed), and we are very close to making the call on our main living area couch and theatre room couch.<br />
<br />
The couch we are looking at for the main living area is a white leather modular. Up until Sunday, I had pictured a cool grey, fabric covered modular couch to give the area a comfy and inviting look. The leather gorgeousness that we saw on Sunday however, threw a spanner in the works. I loved the couch itself, but wasn't sure if it would give our space the inviting look I desired.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
So to help me make a decision, I called on a gal's best friend in a situation like this - Pinterest. I created a board and after pinning just a few images, I knew that the white leather couch we found on the weekend was going to be ours. Our floors are a dark brown-grey wood, the the white on top of the darkness will take away any 'clinical' look a white couch could give.<br />
We will still run with a cool grey fabric couch for the theatre room, but I am now excited to start planning the styling of the living area.<br />
Below are the images that helped me to make the decision (not my own, sources noted under each photo). Enjoy!<br />

This week in a role play area in my Kindergarten class, we have set up a 'Salon' where the children can role play the roles of hairdresser and makeup artist. It was a big hit (with both my girls and boys!) and I had many parents asking how I made it, so thought I would share it here for others to see as well. This is by no means my idea - I have see this done around the www before, but I just made the procedure up as I went. I luckily took photos of the process - albeit not very good photos - my current apartment has horrendous lighting in the afternoon. Oh how I can not wait for a house full of natural lighting!! - so I apologise for that in advance! But I thought bad photos are better than no photos at all, right?? Or perhaps not in this case. You be the judge...<br />

The first thing you will need to do is take a trip to your local Kmart/Red Dot/Reject Store/Big W and pick up the cheapest cosmetics you can find. Make sure the brand you choose has clear lids (much more appealing to little minds!) and remember it doesn't matter what colour you grab, as you will be discarding all of the contents. Quite often discount stores have a dollar bin or similar close the the checkout with old makeup they are trying to get rid of for a steal. Another thing you can do is keep your own empty makeup palettes to re-purpose.</div>

Simply grab a knife and head to your sink or garbage bin and scrape out the contents of the palettes. This is super easy to do and they simply need a wipe over with a tissue or baby wipe once emptied<br />

Chose your felt colours (I found these sheets at Spotlight for around $1 each.) The glitter sheets were an added bonus - I had planned on adding glitter to some of the colours by using glitter glue over the top, but these sheets enabled me to skip this step! You will also need fabric/craft glue, cotton tips and scissors handy at this stage.<br />

Simply take your chosen colour and make a light indentation of the space by pressing down. You can also use a pencil to lightly trace if you feel more comfortable cutting along a line. If you have chosen palettes with more than one compartment the same size (below), be sure to use the original cut piece as a stencil so you don't have to remeasure!<br />

And here is the finished product!! How easy and inexpensive was that?<br />
Whilst shopping for the makeup palettes, I also picked up some very cheap brushes (the bigger the better!) and makeup sponges to go with the set. Your kids (school or your own) will love playing with this set - and be prepared to be sitting in the salon chair being made-up by many little hands.<br />

Aloha!<br />

Those of you that know me, know that I am recently married. My Hubby and I had a a very short engagement and decided to do things slightly different to the 'traditional' wedding. Hubby and I have always had an open communication line about our wedding, even before we were engaged. I have never been a big 'wedding' girl, and although I love attending weddings and celebrating love, I had never fantasised about 'my day' and all that comes with it, I just dreamed of actually being married.</div>

After many, many talks, run throughs of several different scenarios, we decided on what we felt was perfect for us, and like to call a 'Backwards Wedding'. The ceremony part of our wedding was done in private (just the two of us) on the Island of Oahu, Hawaii. So in essence, yes we eloped. Prior to our departure to Hawaii, we had what the majority of our guests thought was our 'Engagement Party' (one in Western Australia and one in Victoria to cater for all of our loved ones), and we surprised everyone with our wedding news on the night. As you would imagine, we were faced with a room of many stunned and shocked faces, tears, laughs and cheers. Our engagement - turned - wedding celebrations were some of the best nights of our lives, and we wouldn't change a thing for the world.</div>

When the news broke, many of my girlfriends had the same questions. Are you wearing a wedding dress? Do you have a photographer? Are you getting married on the beach?!!? You are SO not a beach girl... Do you have a minister? What about your hair?? Makeup?! How did you organise it? and the most frequent of course was: Why??! When you hear the word 'Elope', many minds turn straight to a runaway bride, Vegas, bad photographs and unhappy families. Before sharing some of our beautiful photos (which in themselves manage to diminish all preconceived ideas on eloping) I thought I would answer these questions and explain how eloping doesn't have to involve some guy dressed as Elvis.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Did you wear a wedding dress?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yes. I am not a Princess dress type gal, and was always going to choose something sleek and classic. I turned straight to one of my favourite Australian Designers, LOVER and fell in love with the <a href="http://loverthelabel.com/collection/white-magick-part-4-collection-look-book/#look48" target="_blank">Marianne Dress</a>. I ordered it in a heartbeat and luckily it fit like a glove and was perfect. Yes - this is a very 'simple' dress in terms of a wedding dress - but it is 'me'. </div>

<b style="text-align: justify;"><b>Did you have a photographer?</b></b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
UMMMM... Yes. Photos are very important to me (my iPhoto catalogue could easily tell you that) and I pretty much like to document everything. Many people don't know this, but we changed our wedding date to suit our photographer. I am the type of person that researches everything to the absolute core. Planning a Disney vacation? I became a Disney expert. Buying a bed? I became a bed expert. Getting married in Hawaii? I became a Hawaiian Wedding Photographer expert. Many, many hours were spent researching and stalking other people's Hawaiian weddings, and guys, I found the Holy Grail. <a href="http://www.ashleygoodwinphotography.com/home.html" target="_blank">Ashley Goodwin</a> is beyond amazing, and if you know anyone planning on getting married in Hawaii, recommend her one thousand times over.</div>

<b style="text-align: justify;"><b>Did you get married on the beach?</b></b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That would be a no. Not that there is anything wrong with getting married on the beach - I think it is beautiful! But as my friends pointed out, I am not the quintessential beach girl by any means. I am pale, don't really like the sun with out a hat and love heels. Again, I researched quite possible every wedding location on every Hawaiian Island. And settled on the amazingness that is <a href="http://www.kualoa.com/" target="_blank">Kualoa Ranch </a>(and I promise it's not just because Jurassic Park was filmed there...). Photos do not do this place justice at all. We were absolutely dwarfed by the landscape and our breath was literally taken away. There are several venues to choose from on the ranch, and we decided on <a href="http://weddings.kualoa.com/venues/hale-molii/" target="_blank">Hale Moli'i</a>. For those movie fans reading along - it is the <a href="http://www.tripadvisor.com/LocationPhotoDirectLink-g60982-d1048798-i38255055-Hummer_Tours_Hawaii-Honolulu_Oahu_Hawaii.html" target="_blank">location</a> of Kate Hudson's wedding in You, Me and Dupree. Anyway. It can be quite tricky finalising the details of your wedding via the www, and Heather at Kualoa Ranch was more than helpful and patient when I was deliberating between two different locations.</div>

<b style="text-align: justify;"><b>Did you have a minister?</b></b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yes, our Wedding Planner (which I will get to in a moment) matched us with the most perfect Wedding Celebrant. <a href="http://www.weddingwire.com/reviews/kahu-bruce-kaneohe/bfe4c0eab06608a5.html" target="_blank">Kahu Bruce</a> gave us a truly spiritual, meaningful and personal ceremony, with elements of Hawaiian culture and tradition tied in. I couldn't recommend him more.</div>

Of course! It was my wedding day and I wanted to look my best. I found <a href="http://www.lesliefair.com/" target="_blank">Leslie Fair</a> after (surprisingly...) extensive research and knew she was the gal for me. Leslie is the sweetest and really listened to what I wanted in terms of my look, and I also trusted her input and suggestions.</div>

<b style="text-align: justify;">How did you organise it?</b><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you haven't guessed by now, I am a Type-A personality and like to have everything organised and researched to the tee. There were some things with a Destination Wedding that I wasn't 100% comfortable in organising myself, so enlisted the help of the amazing Kibby from <a href="http://oahuwedding.com/" target="_blank">Oahu Wedding</a>. This was seriously the best money we spent in regards to our wedding, and having Kibby there to help us prior to and on our day was amazing. She organised flowers, Kahu Bruce, coordinated our vendors, transport, wedding licence meeting and also supplied us with a time line of events for our day. She was such a darling and could not recommend her and the rest of the girls at Oahu Wedding more.</div>

<b style="text-align: justify;">Why??</b><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is a very personal question with a very personal answer, but in a nutshell, it is what we felt was right for us. It had nothing to do with our families not getting along or disapproving of our marriage, it is quite the opposite in fact. If eloping is something you and your Fiance are considering, the best advice I have for you is to block out all outside noise and decide what is important to you as a couple, and to do it for the right reasons.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Now! Time for the photos. As mentioned earlier - all photos were taken by Ashley Goodwin. Enjoy!!</div>

Hello lovely friends!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sorry for my absence here the last month - school has been keeping me busy this term! I promise I will be back with some exciting updates in the next few weeks.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am popping in to share with you an offer for $5 off the Lust Have It beauty box with this code below:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

The Lust Have It beauty box has been my FAVOURITE beauty box to date (and I have tried a few!) as the products are always items I wouldn't necessarily have tried had they not been packaged into the box, and are always great brands. The products are quite often full size, and there have only been a handful of items I haven't used, and this is usually due to a colour not matching my skin tone to be honest!</div>

Tokyo DisneySea is perhaps the best Disney Park in the world. The Magic Kingdom-like parks are my favourite as they are quintessentially Disney, but TDS is the most detailed, perfectly executed park I have visited. Each land has a different and unique feel and themed down to the last grain of sand. You truly feel like you have been transported the one of the pages in a Jules Verne book, or down to the mysterious fathoms below with Ariel and King Triton. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
In this post I will be giving you a rundown of the park as it is so different to all other Disney Parks worldwide, as well as our 'plan of attack' and what we loved. Again - this post will be very photo heavy - but how could it not be with SO much beauty. </div>

Tokyo DisneySea was the second Disney Park to open in Tokyo after Disneyland, and had a 4.5 billion dollar budget to work with. Which is a lot when you compare it to the 1 billion used for California Adventure. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We spent in total two full days here, as well as evenings and that was honestly nowhere near enough time to explore the park in it's entirety. It is broken down into 7 different 'port of calls' which are all themed nautically. You enter the park through the Mediterranean Habour, where the centre point of the park, Mt Prometheus is displayed in all of it's glory. </div>

<u>Ports of Calls</u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The park is laid out like all other Disney Parks with the circular, 'spokes and wheel' pattern. The exception with this park is that a body of water separates most ports. Moving in a clock-wise direction, the next port is American Waterfront, which is home to the ever so popular Toy Story Mania Attraction, as well as Tower of Terror. This is where you want to RUN to as soon as the gates open, but I'll get into that later in this post. This port pays homage to the United States in the early 20th Century and is very charming. It consist of two areas - Old Cape Cod and New York Harbour and although the Cape Cod section doesn't hail any attractions, it was themed perfectly and made you feel like you had been transported back in time. This is the home to the very popular Duffy meet and greet and the Duffy Store. Everyone in Japan is just crazy for that bear! Most of the live shows and street performances will happen in the American Waterfront Port also.</div>

Continuing on, the next port is the amazing Mysterious Island. This is the Jules Verne themed port and was our favourite area to take a quiet pause in. We spent a lot of time wandering through this area, sitting in the cafes and just taking it all in. It is truly amazing. The Journey to the Centre of the Earth attraction in right inside Mt Prometheus and we rode it three times. Being shot out of the volcano and back to 'Earth' is something else. Also hiding away inside the volcano is the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea attraction, which is OK but could do with a little sprucing up in our opinion. Still worth a look if the line isn't too long. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The eatery 'Vulcania' is a heavily Verne-themed buffet/cafeteria style restaurant serving Chinese Cuisine. It was our favourite in-park restaurant and highly suggest grabbing a table out the front for dinner and just soak in the atmosphere. </div>

Next up is Port Discovery, a futuristic area which almost feels like it is a part of Mysterious Island. This is where we spent the least amount of time as there are no major draw cards here and we saw it as more of a walkway to where we needed to go next. It is still nice to walk around and experience the two attractions (Aquatopia and StormRider) if they do not have big wait times. </div>

The Lost River Delta is an Ancient Ruins themed port with Indiana Jones Adventure : Journey of the Crystal Skull attraction as well as Raging Spirits. We didn't ride the latter, it was an attraction that was slightly hidden and went under our radar for some reason. We loved Indi as we haven't had the chance to visit Disneyland California yet so it was a new experience for us. It was on the same track and car system as Dinosaur at Animal Kingdom which was one of my favourite rides at WDW. </div>

The Arabian Coast is around the corner from Lost River Delta and the difference aesthetically between these two ports is remarkable. Visually, the Arabian Coast is perfect and makes up for lack of attractions through it's beauty. One gorgeous ride not to be missed (and is exclusive to TDS) is Sinbad's Storybook Voyage. Similar at first glance to 'it's a small world' as it is a boat ride through a magical world with a theme song playing on repeat. But that is where the similarities stop. The technology used for the animatronics greatly surpasses that of IASW and is on-par with the likes of Pirates of the Caribbean. The song is super catchy and you will be sure to fall in love with Sinbad's gorgeous little sidekick, Chandu who I actually thought was just a baby Rajah when I first started seeing his merchandise around the park. I hope they never change this attraction as it is such a hidden gem.</div>

Neighbouring the Arabian Coast, is Mermaid Lagoon. This area excited the (very much still alive) child in me as it feels like you have taken a trip down to Atlantica. The area is really designed for little ones to enjoy, but who doesn't want to explore Ariel's Secret Grotto or have a wander through the gift shop inside a whale?? Unfortunately the 'Under the Sea' show, which is the port's biggest drawcard was closed when we were there, but I have heard nothing but great things. Guess we will just have to go back...</div>

After our Journey down to Centre Earth, we decided to line up for Tower of Terror while we waited for our FastPass window for Toy Story to open. We reached the queue a bit before 9am, and the wait was estimated at 60 minutes so our time frame was working out perfectly. The backstory to this attraction is quite detailed, and very different to the stories in the American Parks. Even though it is mostly versed in Japanese, we found it easy to follow and understand the basics of the storyline and the curse of the hotel owner, Harrison Hightower III. The wait is extremely detailed and a big part of why we liked the ride so much. The lovely folks over at <a href="http://www.disneytouristblog.com/tower-terror-twilight-zone/" target="_blank">Disney Tourist Blog</a> have done a wonderful comparison of all the Tower of Terror's around the World which is a great read for fans of the attraction.</div>

By the time we had finished at the Tower of Terror, our window to ride Toy Story <i>and </i>the eligibility to be able to get our next fast had opened (I explain the FastPass rules in a previous post <a href="http://lovemisswalker.blogspot.com.au/2015/04/tokyo-disneyland-japan-travel-diary.html" target="_blank">here</a>). We toyed with what we should do, and decided that Hubby would run to Indiana Jones to grab a FP for that attraction and I would head to Toy Story. Toy Story is right next door to ToT, and Indiana Jones is at the other end of the park. I know who lucked out in that deal...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The ride is like the others Toy Story attractions found at Walt Disney World and California Adventure. If it aint broke...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
After the ride, we stopped to grab a serve of Alien Mochi Dumplings from the cart located outside of Toyville. We had absolutely no idea what to expect with these cute little snacks, and I felt bad for eating something that looked so happy... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
They were delicious, sweet & slimy, and filled with either a chocolate, strawberry or vanilla custard. </div>

Once we had got the FastPasses we wanted and done all of the key players of the Park early, we took it easy and walked around the Ports exploring and hoping on attractions as they came about. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
We left the Park mid afternoon (not before getting a FastPass for Journey for when we returned that evening!) and went back to the Hilton for a freshen up (which means a nap for Hubby and a quick shower and change of clothes for me as it ended up being quite a chilly day! As you can see above, I was not really dressed appropriately). I returned to the the park solo armed with warmer clothes to take photos and walk around and hubby met me back there at nightfall. </div>

I am not the greatest night photographer so once it got dark we just enjoyed the atmosphere and put the camera away. The hour or two in the park where the sun is starting to go down were my absolute favourites. The sunset casts a beautiful glow over the whole park, and it is almost like it was designed exactly for that time of day. We stayed until close and rode a few of our favourite rides again and watched the nighttime show 'Fantasmic'.</div>

I will finish this post with saying that if you are a true Disney Parks fan, you need to try your hardest to get here at least once in your lifetime. The attention to detail and obvious heart and soul put into designing DisneySea is not something you will see anywhere else. I would come back here in a heartbeat before any of the other parks I have visited for that very reason. Pure Magic.</div>

Experiencing a new Disney Park for the first time is perhaps more exciting than all of your Christmases combined. Adventuring into the unknown, but also feeling like you are right at home is such a unique and special feeling that only the magic of Disney has managed to create. </div>

Tokyo Disneyland has long been touted as a carbon-copy of Magic Kingdom park in Orlando. I couldn't disagree more. Yes, they both have the amazing Cinderella's Castle as the beautiful centrepiece, and some similar lands and attractions, but that in my opinion, that is where the similarities end. Tokyo Disneyland stands on her own two feet, and the fact that I was proposed to in front of this beautiful castle may have left me slightly biased - but dare I say, I like it better than than the Florida version.</div>

A successful day at TDL require some planning, research and dedication. Yes - you can just rock up to the park after opening hours and cruise around, but if you are a big Disney Parks fan and expect to experience all of the attractions, that wont work. Basically if you fail to plan, you are planning to fail (thanks Hubby for that quote haha). In this post, I will go through the plan of attack we used for our first day at TDL, and any little tips we picked up along the way. This will be a very photo-heavy post, so don't say you haven't been warned! </div>

<a name='more'></a><u>Arrival</u><br />
<div>
The day we decided to visit Tokyo Disneyland, the park was scheduled to open at 9am. To ensure we were one of the first few people through the gates (not including the Disney Hotel guests who get their own entry & are able to enter the park 15 minutes earlier than everyone else) we arrived at TDL one hour before opening time. If your are a morning person and have the ability to rise early on vacation, we HIGHLY recommend doing so. Even if one of your party members takes one for the team and holds your spot in line (by our 4th day I went and did this, as hubby wanted a relaxing breakfast) it is much better than arriving just before the park opens. </div>
<div>
<br />
I didn't take any photos of the queue at TDL, so the few below are from DisneySea, but both days for us we were at a similar position in line.<br />
We arrived at <i>exactly </i>8am to secure our position on line. As mentioned in a <a href="http://lovemisswalker.blogspot.com.au/2015/03/japan-part-two-osaka-universal-studios.html" target="_blank">previous post</a>, the the regulars all bring 'Kawaii' plastic mats and sit on them playing electronic games, studying the park schedule, fine-tuning their ah-mazing outfits or completing homework. We lived on the edge and sat directly on the floor and spent our time people watching, taking photos and chatting. By the end of the Disney section of our Vacation, I'm pretty sure we had our entire 10-year life plan all sorted. But if you are the type who is unable to entertain themselves without <i>something </i>to do, we highly suggest bringing along some reading material or download some games onto your phone. As it is a fairly decent wait and definitely won't be your last of the day!<br />

<u>Fast Pass Basics</u><br />
Fast Passes are a <i>very </i>serious business at TDR. Fast Passes for the popular attractions are usually exhausted for the whole day come noon. A cover is put over the poor machines and it all looks very sad. Now, you may think I am exaggerating when I say 'run', but I really truly mean it. There are poor cast members around the park holding signs that I'm pretty sure say 'Don't Run' and motioning for people to slow down, but when it comes to getting those Fast Passes, people are willing to break the rules. Watching the FP return times above the machines tick over like a stop watch is quite amazing.<br />
<br />
The basic math for obtaining a FP for a ride is fairly simple and can work in 2 ways:<br />
1. Once the window of your existing FP opens (ie - You have a FP for Monsters Inc Hide & Go-seek with a return time of 10:30-11:30am). As soon as 10:30am ticks over, you are eligible for your next FP.<br />
2. Once 2 hours has passed from the time you obtained your existing FP (ie - You got a FP for Pooh's Hunny Hunt at 9:30am, with a return time of 2-3pm). In this instance, you would be eligeble for your second FP once 11:30am ticks over.<br />
<br />
I think this is a very smart system and is as fair as it can be in a competitive park like TDL.<br />
<u><br /></u>
<u>The plan of attack</u><br />
The hour passed relatively quick for us (seriously - the outfits that all of the toddlers are dressed in never get old for me. Every way I turned there was a cute new 3 year old in a duck-butt costume. That was more than enough entertainment for me!) and before we knew it, the gates were opening and Minnie & Mickey were standing there welcoming guests into the park.<br />
<br />
During my extensive research before leaving on this vacation, I was lead to believe that the two most popular attractions were Monsters Inc Ride & Go-seek and Pooh's Hunny Hunt. Both of these dark rides are exclusive to TDL, so I am assuming that was why this was the case. We decided to do our 'run' (and when I say 'we', what I actually mean is Hubby runs and I walk somewhat briskly to wait in line at our net ride) to Monsters Inc first to get our Fast Passes, and then wait in line at Pooh's Hunny Hunt.<br />
<br />
This plan worked perfectly and our wait time for Hunny Hunt was under half an hour. and our return time to Monsters Inc was 10:30am. We planned to ride Hunny Hunt, and as our opening time slot for Monsters Inc opened, pop over and get a Fast Pass for Haunted Mansion. We also tried our luck at the lottery for the "Once Upon a Time'' show that we were planing to see that night, but alas, we weren't luck that day! (Which was a bit disappointing, as it was my BIRTHDAY and I was totally feeling the birthday good luck vibes).<br />

The ride itself was so unique and unlike anything I have experienced before. It is like you have entered the Hundred Acre Woods and right into a page in the story. Each time you ride it you have the opportunity to experience something slightly different. The entire ride (as were most rides) was in Japanese. I was worried about this at first, but Disney do such a great job of storytelling, that the words come secondary to what you are seeing, that it is not even an issue. </div>

After grabbing our Haunted Mansion FP, we strolled over to Monsters Inc. I made us take the long way around through Tomorrowland rather than cutting through the castle as because of our morning rush, we weren't able to walk from World Bazaar straight on and get that first straight forward view of the gorgeous castle, as Monsters Inc is located in Tomorrowland, which is a sharp right turn as soon as you enter the park. It ended up being a bit of a game where I refused to even look at the castle from the Fantasyland side of the park. (All of the castle the photos above were taken at a later point during the day). </div>
<div>
<br />
The Monsters Inc Attraction was also a goody - however we only needed to ride it once as we didnt <i>love </i>it and felt we got everything we needed out of it form one spin. We were still glad we chose this as our first FP as by the time we got to the attraction just before 11am, the FP allocations were completely exhausted and wait time was over 2 hours already!</div>

Soo...after the Monsters Inc ride and our walk back around to World Bazaar so I could have my 'Castle Moment', my amazing Husband (then boyfriend) knows me too well and got down on one knee in front of Cinderella's Castle and asked me to be his wife. Dreams do come true! Of course I said yes (although reflecting back on the moment we both realised I actually didn't say 'yes'. I just nodded.) and we spent the rest of the day & trip floating around on cloud nine (as if we weren't floaty enough already!!)<br />

After the big surprise, our window had opened to ride Haunted Mansion, as had the eligibility to get another FP. We swung by Space Mountain, got a FP for that and headed on up to Haunted Mansion. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Nightmare Before Christmas themed Mansion was great - even though I was in Disney World during Halloween also, they do not do the Mansion up for this holiday. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Space Mountain is also different to the WDW attraction. It is MUCH better. And similar to the original Disneyland California version if what I have read is correct. </div>

The rest of our day was much less scheduled as we knew we would be coming back at least two more times, and I wanted to make sure we just stopped and enjoyed the amazing surroundings after our hectic and exciting start. We stopped to watch a few parades and did the 'not so popular' rides such as Star Wars (I found that strange!), Pirates of the Caribbean, which is entirely in Japanese except for the Johnny Depp voice over parts. But again, you don't really notice it. I am a big fan of the Pirates ride - I'm not sure if it's because it is the last attraction Walt himself designed or because I just freaking love Johnny Depp in that movie - but I enjoyed the Japanese version just as much as it's American counterparts. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When I first saw photos of the undercover World Bazaar, I will admit I was not a fan at all. 'Why on Earth would you cover Main Street!?' I thought. But somehow, it just works. It almost acts as a frame for Cinderella's Castle walking into the park and it is architecturally quite pleasing to look at. All of the stores and restaurants located within World Bazaar are unique and a pleasure to browse around in. Hubby would usually leave the parks a little before me to get in a power nap before out nighttime expedition (Me? - I believe you can sleep once you have left Disney) and I would spend a lot of the time just walking. Walking through the shops, the lands, sometimes taking photos, sometimes just taking it all in. Photos are great and as you are probably quite aware of by now, I love to document nearly everything, but there is something to be said for just being present in the moment. </div>

We found Character sightings around the park a very rare occurrence. They all seem to 'hang out' at the entrance to the park and you never know who you are going to bump into.

I love playdough. It promotes creativity, discussions, role play and fine motor skills, just to name a few. I always try to match my playdough to what every topic we are talking about in class. I have made everything from Space to Frozen themed playdough and the kids just love it.</div>
<div>
Today I will share with you the playdough I have made for our Easter unit we working on in the lead up to the holiday - Yummy Chocolate Playdough!<br />

<span style="line-height: 19.5px;">This amazing recipe smells good enough to eat and we had to have very detailed discussions during our morning mat session that playdough is </span><i style="line-height: 19.5px;">not </i><span style="line-height: 19.5px;">edible. Here is the easy no-cook recipe :</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #0b5394; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19.5px;"></span><br />
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="more"></a></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19.5px;">2 cups plain flour </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19.5px;">1 cup salt</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19.5px;">1/2 cup cocoa or cacao powder</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19.5px;">2 tbsps vegetable oil</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19.5px;">2 tbsps cream of tartar</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19.5px;">2 cups of boiling water</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #6fa8dc; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19.5px;"> </span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Simply mix the dry ingredients together, add the oil, boiling water and mix until thoroughly combined. Let the mixture stand until cool to ensure the boiling water 'cooks' the dough. Don't be scared if at the start it looks like a disaster - good things come to those who wait! Once it has cooled, knead it on a clean surface until smooth. Store in a zip-lock bag or airtight container. It will last for weeks, however I like to change my playdough fortnightly as many, many little fingers touch it day in and day out. If making it for home use, it should last you a month or so. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The key to the success of this recipe is to make sure that the water it absolutely boiling. I have used a school kettle in the past and the few times I did, the playdough did not work. I couldn't figure out why for so long, then realised that the water temperature was the cause! If you have a good quality kettle, this shouldn't be a problem. My school kettle cost about $10 from Coles...go figure!<br />

I have a slight 'Type A' personality. Meaning I am organised, and I like things to be perfect. Some would call it OCD. My Husband likes to call it 'Highly Organised Individual' syndrome. Which ever way you want to look at it, I LOVE organising. I could make a career out of it. I spend countless hours reading Organisation blogs like <a href="http://www.thesunnysideupblog.com/" target="_blank">The Sunny Side Up</a> by the gorgeous Erin, <a href="http://iheartorganizing.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Iheart Organizing</a> by Jen & <a href="http://www.simplyorganized.me/" target="_blank">simply organized</a> by Samantha - and that is just to name a few.<br />
<br />
I have tried and tested countless Day Planner/Organisers and <a href="https://www.erincondren.com/referral/invite/brookewalker1002" target="_blank">Erin Condren</a> has by far been my favourite. This is my first year using a Life Planner, and I love it so much I also ordered the Teacher Planner to keep track of my full days at school.<br />
<br />
The hardest part of having an Erin Condren is choosing a cover...seriously, there are so many designs, I spent so long going back and forth. This was the design I ended up choosing:<br />

On a Sunday Afternoon I like to sit down (quite often with a glass of wine) to plan out my week. Of course things do pop up after Sunday, but if I have a clear plan of how my week is looking come Monday Morning, my head feels clear & I am able to add extra commitments with ease & confidnece that I wont have to cancel because 'oh my gosh! I forgot I had something on!' (that is the WORST). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I use washi tape (from a variety of locations!) to add colour and block of days when we might be on Vacation. I also use various stickers and my favourite <a href="http://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/staedtler-triplus-0-3mm-fineliners-assorted-pack-20-st334sb20?catargetid=620015440000508549&CAPCID=40413145105&cadevice=c&gclid=CjwKEAjw0LmoBRDHuo7UkaKXhn8SJADmDTG064k1OWNkMEfXChIH8IiMa7DhTfDQef5_vaHF0isfJBoCeCzw_wcB" target="_blank">Staedtler Triplus</a> 'Rainbow Pens'.

EC Planners are divided up into 3 sections per day : Morning, Day & Night. I find this works quite well for me as I use the Morning for before school, Day for after school & Night for well, night! Like I mentioned before, I have a separate Teacher Planner to plan out my days at school. </div>

As well as the week at a glance view, the Life Planners have Month View. I have found I use this to block out Vacations & trips, note down birthdays or use for long term planning. </div>

The Life Planners come with many cute little extras such as pockets (clear and slide in), stickers, and beautiful inspirational quotes. I use the clear pockets to store my label stickers, cards, planing tools and notes that I don't want to fall out of my planner. The sliding pocket is where I keep my Birthday reminder booklet and bills. The stickers are great and come in a variety of labels and colours.<br />

Organisation doesn't come naturally to everyone. And for some people it is not a high priority in life. For me it is & for anyone struggling with keeping on top of things, I have a few tips below:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. Write everything down. Getting ideas/plans/commitments out of your head and onto paper or an electronic source is the key to being organised. Whether you are a paper or electronic planner, make sure your preferred medium is always close by. Choose a planner that is a good size to keep in you handbag or car (EC is great for this!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. Make Lists. Start the day with a 'To-do' list and aim to have everything crossed off by the end of the day. Below is a <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/226659966/this-is-my-week-landscape?ref=shop_home_active_1" target="_blank">Printable</a> that I created to help keep your week be as organised as possible. You can keep daily lists and if anything is incomplete, simply transfer it to the following day. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkxj3BPHKO4jLQ86XCrapoddbnWkK93lDPfdrQ6TYegkWxXT5gAJTa8EoTyR5cgv6514jDofkk-lUBlWlhQH01F_itUeIOGXrlCMJDXAKzO8dOpXEN464UG23_jFBRJSt2zv1QYdQ6Qbzw/s1600/this+is+my+week+proof+lands.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="" border="0" height="450" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkxj3BPHKO4jLQ86XCrapoddbnWkK93lDPfdrQ6TYegkWxXT5gAJTa8EoTyR5cgv6514jDofkk-lUBlWlhQH01F_itUeIOGXrlCMJDXAKzO8dOpXEN464UG23_jFBRJSt2zv1QYdQ6Qbzw/s1600/this+is+my+week+proof+lands.jpg" title="" width="640" /></a></td></tr>

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
3. Be accountable. How much time do we all waste searching google, watching TV, scrolling through our instagram feeds? Too much. I am guilty of all 3 offences. It is more than fine to do these types of activities - it is sometimes where we get our biggest inspirations from! But just time it. Devote the time you can afford to such activities, otherwise other areas of your life will suffer and you will be running around in circles before you know it.<br />
<br />
4. Prioritise. What is more important in helping you achieve your End of Day goal? When writing your to-do list, try to start with the most important, and conclude with the least. Naturally you will go through the list from top to bottom, so this will ensure that pressing matters don't get left til 5pm that afternoon!<br />
<br />
5. Plan for fun. Sometimes, we can get wrapped up in 'busy'. Busy is a word that my husband and I have tried to eliminate from our vocabularies. What does it mean, anyway? People may ask you 'How was your weekend?' and a common response is 'Busy'. Be mindful when using this word. If you have a full life, you should count yourself blessed. Busy means that your life has meaning and you are making a contribution to the world. Try not to use it as a negative. Some are not so lucky.<br />
But back to the fun - sometime our calendars get so full with things we <i>have</i> to do, that we forget about the things we <i>want </i>to do. Schedule in a pedicure with a girlfriend. A solo shopping trip. A morning walk. A movie date. This is key to not falling off the organised bandwagon. It doesn't always have to be about work & chores.<br />
<br />
6. Find a planner that works for you. Yes - I think the EC is great & can't recommend it enough. But that is me & a simple notepad may work better for you. Some people like electronic - I have tried this and found it the most confusing and unorganised year of my life. I need to write things down, and be able to open to a page and see what is what. Experiment. Find something that fits with your lifestyle and go from there.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Organising everyone. </div>

"I only hope we don't lose sight of one thing - that it was all started by a mouse" - Walt Disney<br />
<br />
Disney. This to me is a symbol of happiness, joy & magic. I don't love it because it 'takes me back to my childhood' or makes me feel like a kid again. It just makes me <i>happy. </i>Plain and simple. Watching a Disney Film or entering a Disney Park is like swallowing a happy pill. The smile doesn't leave my face & nothing is wrong with the world for those hours spent within Walt's magical creations.<br />
My Bucket list basically consists of visiting every Disney Park in the World (standing at 6/11 currently, hubby at 2/11...guess I'll just have to revisit a few. Shame!), seeing an Orca in the wild and that is about it. Adventurous, I know. This Japan Travel Diary instalment will cover the first initial stages of getting to Tokyo Disney Resort, Ticketing, Hotels and the basics. I will go into the Parks in depth in posts to come.<br />

We spent 5 days at Tokyo Disney Resort, which consists of 2 parks (Disneyland & DisneySea), 3 Disney Hotels, a Shopping area 'Ikspiari ', as well as 6 Official Disney Hotels. The <a href="http://www.tokyodisneyresort.jp/en/tdl/" target="_blank">Tokyo Disney Resort</a> website is in Japanese, but translates fairly well to English in most sections.<br />
<br />
<u>Getting there</u><br />
Hubby & I travelled from Osaka to TDR on the Shinkasen (Bullet Train). As I assume most people will arrive at Tokyo (Narita) Airpot, I won't go into this too much, except to say that it was a very easy & enjoyable experience. Very little English is spoken in Japan, with many not understanding a single word, so be prepared to become an expert in charades or learn some of the language yourself. We purchased tickets for the Shinkasen at the Shin-Osaka station and found our platform with ease. All train stations and airports have some English signage (numbers and text). If given the chance, a Shinkasen trip is definitely worth experiencing at least once in your life. It is super smooth & much more comfortable than a plane and regular trains.<br />

We took the Shinkasen to Tokyo Station, which is the heart of the Tokyo train lines. It is big, fast, and if you don't know what to look for, confusing. It really pays to do your research prior to arriving at this station just in case you are unable to locate someone that speaks English. It was a fair hike to the next platform we needed to be at, and I highly suggest investing in good quality baggage with a spinning wheel system, as there are A LOT of escalators/stairs/lifts where you need to think quick and enter & exit swiftly.<br />
<br />
JR Keiyo Line is the one you need to look for if traveling to TDR via train. It is red (all lines are coded with a different colour and if you know what colour you need to follow, the whole process is very easy), and is located 4 stories below ground. Tokyo Disney Resort's Station is named Maihama, and is about 15 minutes out of central Tokyo. Once you have spotted that on the overhead screens you know you are on the home stretch!<br />

<u>Arrival</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Possibly one of most exciting parts of a Disney Vacation (or any Vacation for that matter!) is just before you arrive. The anticipation & the excitement is a feeling I wish I could bottle and sell. I'd make millions. You know when you have arrived as the train will completely empty and you would have seen the sights out the window upon approaching. Maihama is a small station and easy to get in and out of. If you are unsure whether you have paid the correct fare to cover the distance travelled, there are fare adjusting counters and machines at exit points. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
From this point, it depends what Hotel you are staying at as to what you will need to do next. If staying at the Ambassador or Disneyland Hotel, both are walking distance from Maihama. If you would prefer to catch the Monorail, that is a simple left turn out of the station, towards the Welcome Centre (here you can also get your luggage held & transferred to your hotel if you wish).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There are a variety of different ticketing options (1-time ride to 4-day pass) and the machines are easy to navigate and the tickets do not disappoint! (HINT: do not just walk to the closet ticket machine and purchase your ticket - the picture above the individual machine dictates which Disney character you will receive on your ticket!)</div>

<u>Where to stay</u><br />
Now this is a decision that one will come to based on different factors such as Budget, Family needs, amount of 'Disney' one needs in a hotel etc. We stayed at Hilton Tokyo Bay, and I couldn't recommend it any more. TDR has 6 'Official' Hotels which are onsite and on the monorail line at Bayside Station. Most are in easy walking distance, but all have shuttle buses should the walk seem too daunting after navigating the parks all day.<br />

We chose to stay in the 'Ocean King Celebrio Select' room. This is a premium room, but was still more affordable (just) than the Disney Hotels. Budget wise - we could have stayed in one of the Disney Hotels, but we decided we would rather have the extra money to go towards our daily expenses & souvenirs. If you decide to stay in one of these rooms as we did, you have a choice of Twin or King as well as Ocean or Park View. Now - the 'Park' view is more of a 'Car park/Monorail station' view with 'glimpses of Castle'. If this is your thing, then go ahead and book this side. However - the Ocean side view is absolutely breathtaking. It almost felt like we were on a Cruise, the water was that close.<br />
The room itself is one the most spacious hotel rooms we have ever stayed in. We choose Hilton hotels quite often when traveling, as we are Hilton Honors members & we know that the service will meet our expectations & that the rooms will be clean & comfortable. Hilton Tokyo Bay has been by far our favourite Hilton Hotel. We were offered complementary breakfast each morning upon arrival, there are a number of eateries to choose from, as well as a Minimart style store to stock up on snacks, a Disney Fantasy Store & a ticket office where you are able to purchase your park tickets to save the hassle of lining up at the parks.<br />
When we return to TDR (which we will at some point in our lives) we would not hesitate to stay here again.<br />
<br />
<u>Other Hotels</u><br />
I can not comment on the other Official Hotels, as we didn't check them out in the slightest. We spent an afternoon exploring <a href="http://www.disneyhotels.jp/english/tdh/index.html" target="_blank">Disneyland Hotel</a>, and my was it beautiful!! Everything is done on a grand scale and there are hints of Disney everywhere.<br />

If you are not staying at Disneyland Hotel, I highly recommend popping in for a high tea or meal in one of the Restaurants. We did both and received amazing service and delicious food and beverages. Hot tip: the Mimosa's are amazing .<br />
The other two option of Disney Resort Hotels are The <a href="http://www.disneyhotels.jp/english/dhm/index.html" target="_blank">Hotel MiraCosta</a> which is located <i>inside </i>Tokyo DisneySea as well as the 'Budget' accommodation <a href="http://www.disneyhotels.jp/english/dah/index.html" target="_blank">Disney Ambassador Hotel</a>. We didnt visit either of these, but I have read only amazing things about MiraCosta. Imagine waking each morning and enjoying a coffee on your balcony with a view of Mt Prometheus. Pure Magic!<br />

We didnt spend as much time at Ikspiari as I thought we would. While at WDW in Florida, we frequented Down Town Disney almost every night and spent a lot of time there exploring. Ikspiari is really just a basic Shopping Centre, with a Disney Store at the end. We ate there on our first night (again, I thought we would frequent there for dinner most nights), but we found we ended up eating in the Parks most nights. They were just too amazing to leave. But it is handy to have makeup & beauty stores, book stores and other miscellaneous things you may need so close by. </div>

My Husband & I love a theme park. The rides, the atmosphere and the contagious feeling of absolute happiness is something I haven't found anywhere else. I have visited a few in my time (it's tricky for us Aussies as we have only a few small ones here!) and like to incorporate them into overseas travels when possible.<br />

<u>Arriving in Osaka</u><br />
We flew Cathay Pacific (highly recommend) via Hong Kong from Perth & it was a hassle free & enjoyable (well, as enjoyable as a long haul flight can be), as most flights to a holiday destination tend to be. We arrived at Kansai Airport, Osaka around 9pm and reached our hotel (<a href="http://www3.hilton.com/en/hotels/japan/hilton-osaka-OSAHITW/index.html?WT.mc_id=zELWAGN0AP1WW2PSH3Search4DGGeneric&WT.srch=1&utm_source=AdWords&utm_medium=ppc&utm_campaign=paidsearch" target="_blank">Hilton Osaka</a>) by 11pm. We were up at 3am (there is only 1 hour time difference between Perth and Japan) so suffice to say we were ready for our bed!<br />

Kansai Airport is about an hour from Osaka City Centre, and I would recommend taking a 'Limo Bus'. They are easy and take you to many different hotel destinations around the city. They run regularly (every 20 minutes or so) and cost 1550 Yen per person. The stops are easily identifiable directly outside the airport, and if you research which line you need to take, all you need to do is look for the correct number. A taxi is quite expensive, and although the rail system in Japan is amazing, you have to transfer, and doing that with luggage after a long day of travelling is not always the best idea.<br />

<br />
We woke early the next morning and got ready for our day at <a href="http://www.usj.co.jp/e/" target="_blank">Universal Studios Japan</a>. I had travelled to Universal Studios in Florida a few years ago and was lucky enough to experience The Wizarding World Of Harry Potter just after it opened there. I must have done something to please the gods as the Japan version of the attraction had only been opened a few months prior to our arrival. Hubby hadn't visited before so I was just as excited for him as I would have been for my own first WWHP experience.<br />
<br />
We didnt pre-purchase tickets for this park as that option is only available to residents of Japan. We aimed to get to the park half an hour before it opened to ensure we got tickets & the Fastpass to enter Harry Potter (more on that later)<br />
<br />
<u>Getting there:</u><br />
Like I mentioned before, the rail system in Japan is faultless. The only tricky thing for foreigners is the language barrier & being able to figure out where to go. From the Hilton (located in Umeda) we needed to transfer once at Nishikijo Station to the JR Yumesaki/Sakurajima Line. This is a relatively easy tranfer at an above-ground station and you can't miss the train...<br />

<br />
Once you exit the train, it pays to walk fast. We went with a brisk 'power walk' and passed many people therefore making our wait in line shorter. It is about a 5 minute walk so expect to feel a little puffed once you reach the entrance.<br />
<br />
<u>Tickets & Getting in:</u><br />
As mentioned before, we purchased tickets at the park. USJ has the option of purchasing an Express Pass, which ultimately gives you timed entry for all of the popular rides (including timed entry for WWHP). We decided ahead of time that we weren't going to purchase this, as all we were really concerned about was WWHP & a few other rides. However - once we reached the ticketing gate, we learned that they had sold out for the day already (the park had only just opened!) so it wasn't going to be an option anyway. These <a href="http://www.usj.co.jp/e/ticket/" target="_blank">Express Passes</a> don't come cheap (the 7 ride version costs as much as entry to the park) but if you were keen on experiencing all of the rides (there are a few exclusive to USJ & not found at any other Universal Studios) & only had one day dedicated to the park, I would suggest trying to get your hands on one.<br />
<br />
Finding information on USJ online was about as hard as finding the perfect man (for some) and the little information I did find didn't include the newly opened WWHP area. Luckily I had stumbled across a review on trip advisor a few days before we left that was able that let everyone know that you needed timed entry tickets to get into WWHP (but this does not include a Fast Pass for the ride!!) as it was so popular it couldn't handle the crowds is everyone got in when they pleased. So we planned our first of many 'mad dashes' to get a fast pass.<br />
<br />
<u>Navigating the Park</u><br />
Our first stop of the day was the WWHP ticket stations. This is located in the middle of the park but you basically have to go all the way around to get there. We got an 11:30am entry time which we were happy with as it was only 9am by this point. After a quick coffee and bite to eat (read : hamburger) we were good to go to tackle our first ride.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We had decided that where possible, to choose a 'Single Rider' lane option, as this cuts your wait time by half, sometimes thirds. You don't speak on the rides anyway and you are still experiencing the same thing, just not side by side. </div>

We rode 'The Amazing Adventures of Spiderman' first. For those that have been to Universal Studios in Orlando, it is the same as that ride, but in Japanese. At first I was concerned about not understanding what was going on, but you truly forget that a different language is being spoken & get immersed in the fun. There was a single rider line option for this ride and only took us 30 minutes to get through the queue, as opposed to 100...</div>

If you are a Harry Potter fan, there is no other feeling better than approaching the gates of Hogsmeade with the fantasmical movie theme song playing at perfect pitch as you enter. Serious goose bump material. Every second after that is just as exciting & the attention to detail is beyond perfection. Dare I say it is done just as well, if not better, than Disney... You truly feel like you have been transported to the world of Harry, Ron & Hermione.<br />

The Hogsmeade shopping strip is home to many familiar stores (Honey Dukes & Ollivanders just to name a few) and if it weren't for the queues, you could spend hours wandering in & out of each store and always see something new.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
We headed straight for the draw card - Harry Potter & the Forbidden Journey Ride which is located within Hogwarts castle. Again - it is a copy of the Orlando attraction but those of you that have experienced that, will understand why. It is hands down the best ride I've been on. </div>
<div>
As we approached the castle, we saw that the line went all the way out the castle. I knew that the queue weaved through the inside of the castle, so predicted we would be up for a bit of a lengthy wait. Which was correct - over 2 hours!! The queue, however, is themed and detailed down to the last brick, and with good company, it is a bearable task.<br />

After our Marathon (2 hours all up, including ride, which was shorter than predicted!) we treated ourselves to a Butterbeer. Don't let the name full you - there is nothing 'beery' about Butterbeer in the slightest. It is however a delicious butterscotch flavoured sweet treat (the frozen version is much better than the normal FYI) with the option to purchase a souvenir mug (and why wouldn't you, really). There was a show commencing as we bought our drinks so thought we would stick around and watch it. Tip for first timers : the Japanese People are possible the most thoughtful & considerate people in the world. Everyone sits for shows (unless you are at the very back) and all have purpose-bought 'Kawaii' mats to sit on. We learnt this quickly & I was promptly give a serviette by a sweet Butterbeer girl to sit on, as she seemed horrified by the idea of me sitting straight on the ground.<br />

We needed to leave the Park by 3pm to make get back to our hotel in time for a quick shower & meet friends by 4pm for drinks and dinner. After our epic WWHP wait time, we were only left with 40 minutes to explore the rest of the park. We had come to terms with the fact we wouldn't be able to fit in anymore rides, but were happy to just walk around and soak in the atmosphere.<br />

<u>How Long?</u><br />
Since WWHP has opened, the traffic in the park has picked up a lot. I would recommend two days if you want to ride everything or revisit some areas. We only had 6 hours in the park & only managed to squeeze in 3 rides, so use that as a guide. Of course if you get the Express Pass, you are more likely to be able to fit everything in one (very busy!) day.<br />
<br />
I<u>s it worth it?</u><br />
If you are visiting Osaka, a trip to USJ is definitely worthwhile. However - if you have visited any of the other Universal Parks, I would not suggest making a special trip to Osaka just for this. We had a great day, but in terms of comparability, the American Universal Parks are definitely superior. </div>

In October last year my Husband & I (then Boyfriend!) took a trip to Japan. The first thing that people asked me was 'Are you skiing?!' 'No, we are going to Disney' I would say and look forward to their confused looks in response. Truth was, we did go to Disney, but we also travelled to Osaka & Tokyo City. The Disney portion of the trip was what I was excited by the most.<br />

<span style="text-align: center;">During my research time in the months before Japan, I found it super hard to find (English) information & tips on Tokyo Disneyland Resort. Being a self-confessed Disney Park Enthusiast (or Disney Obsessed, which ever way you want to look at it), I found it frustrating that I couldn't plan and research to my heart's content to ensure we got the full 'Disney Experience' over our 5 days </span></div>

This information is more than detailed enough (especially for Americans!) so I will not try to outdo this, rather journal down our trip & experiences during our Vacation, even if it helps just one person, I've done my part :)<br />

With a great production & styling team behind the army of models, the shows were a lot of fun & definitely caught the attention of the customers out & about in the centre! I saw a few people I know and they all got quite the surprise . . .<br />

Karrinyup Shopping Centre is located in the heart of Karrinyup, 12km north-west of the Perth CBD. It offers over 180 speciality stores including Myer, David Jones, Country Road, Big W & Woolworths and is the perfect destination for all of your Winter Fashion needs.<br />
<br />
A great little video from the day was put together for the Shopping Centre, and the <a href="http://mathewknightmedia.com/Mathew_Knight_Media_Production/welcome.html" target="_blank">production crew</a> did such a fabulous job! Take a look at the amazing fashion in the clip below.<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/uAeAOl5FUxw" width="480"></iframe><br />
<br />
The parades will be 'popping up' over the Centre again this weekend (April 5th & 6th), with shows occurring on the hour from 11am - 2pm.<br />
<br />
Be sure to 'pop' down and have a look at both the parades & the Autumn | Winter Fashion that Karrinyup has on offer.<br />
<br />
Enjoy the weekend!<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The Los Angeles based line, designed by Gillian Mahin & Laura Hall,<span style="font-family: inherit;"> could be described as 'modern day gypsy' and features a lot of daring lace, clashing colours and prints. </span></span><br />
<br />
The location of the recent shoot & the chosen model (gorgeous Carola Remer) are both perfect to showcase this beautiful collection, and we can't stop looking through the gorgeous images.<br />
<br />
We tried to pick our top 10, but it was impossible...<br />

<br />
However, I do want to share this gluten free savoury muffin recipe with you all, as it is simply delicious. I try to stay as gluten free as possible, as it just makes me feel better, but I do love my sourdough and rye breads , so I give into the 'devil' (as my sister, Zoe so fondly calls it) every now and again.<br />
<br />
I served these muffins at the little Oscars Party I had a few weeks back, and they were a hit with all - gluten lovers included.<br />

Sun-dried tomato & herb muffins : </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 1/2 cups gluten free self-raising flour</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 teaspoon gluten free baking powder</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1/2 teaspoon salt</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano or 1 1/2 tablespoons finely grated parmesan cheese</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2 tablespoons chopped basil and/or spinach</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 1/2 cups finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
80g softened butter</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2 eggs</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3/4 cup milk</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Preheat the oven to 190 degrees and prep a muffin tray. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Combine dry ingredients first, then mix in the herbs/cheese & tomatoes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Beat (or stir!! this is what I do and it works fine) butter & eggs together and then add milk. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Mix the wet ingredients into the other bowl and stir together. Divide the mixture evenly between each section </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Cook for 15-18 mins and serve when warm for the yummiest results!! {Makes 6-8 large muffins.} </div>

I have also added sweet potato and feta cheese to this recipe and that turns out delicious too. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFblhHby0NHuNDN_-BDyKPL1-6xN4dkXmYz0lJH497YYC5p5OshEvIrqlAVTNmapJ8UDnUafswxUFXacXRLGCWo2SnhXCNVro-CDeq1UHIk53RfALvI3Mi7d95kUWre7b-lAyV0Kwb4O7K/s1600/IMG_0251.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFblhHby0NHuNDN_-BDyKPL1-6xN4dkXmYz0lJH497YYC5p5OshEvIrqlAVTNmapJ8UDnUafswxUFXacXRLGCWo2SnhXCNVro-CDeq1UHIk53RfALvI3Mi7d95kUWre7b-lAyV0Kwb4O7K/s1600/IMG_0251.JPG" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>

Last weekend we spent the entire Sunday down at the South Perth Foreshore with some lovely friends. </div>

There were bottles of bubble consumed, games of cricket and elastics (blast from the past, that one!!) played and a yummy BBQ prepared by our boys to eat. It was such a lovely day, and as usual, the Perth weather was on it's best behaviour. </div>

We love adding to our eyewear collection here at belle | beau. Today we are having a look at some of our favourite frames for this coming season.<br />
<br />
The looks that are on trend are quite varied - from cat eye (which is proving to be a strong contender in the style stakes for the 4th year in a row!) to flat top, there is something for everyone available at the moment.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">

We believe that sunglasses should be investment pieces, and we are both prepared to hand over quite a bit of hard earned cash for that perfect pair. If you are after a statement pair for a particular event or to just have some fun in, check retailers such as <a href="http://www.witchery.com.au/shop/her/accessories/eyewear" target="_blank">Witchery</a> & <a href="http://www.sportsgirl.com.au/accessories/sunglasses" target="_blank">Sportsgirl</a> as they have a high rotation of styles that are usually copies of the designer frames and cost a fraction of the price. </div>
<div>
<br />
Below are our picks from various designers and retailers. We could have gone on and on, but capped it at 8 pairs for you to browse through. Noone needs a mile long post on a Tuesday Evening!<br />
