Weekly Notables

January 17, 2020 · In: Lifestyle

A lot has been happening this week y’all! It’s almost like the new year started this week, not a few weeks ago. I am beyond exhausted with the week I had, but I know my hard work will pay off over the next few months! Due to the crazy week, my “weekly notables” is going to be more “life updates” that happened this week, since there were many of them lol. Nevertheless, I hope you enjoy it!

//one//
My Birthday

My 22nd birthday has come and gone, but I truly had a great day! I spent most of my day at Magic Kingdom and had a blast with friends old and new. I am definitely the kind of person that doesn’t care too much about their birthday. Last year was more significant for me since I turned 21. And while I’m excited to see what happens during my 22nd year, it’s not necessarily an “exciting” age.

Our First Wedding Meeting

If you follow me on Instagram, you may know that I had my first wedding planning meeting on my birthday! We headed to Franck’s studio, at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort. It was an extremely productive meeting, and I can’t wait to share more with y’all in my next Wedding Diary.

//three//
A New Job

It’s been almost 2 years since I “worked.” But I recently picked up a part-time position at Gatorlillys in Winter Garden. Grant has been doing their website work for a while now, and we just adore the owner Patty. I always loved visiting the College Park and Winter Park locations when we had the chance. Needless to say I am so excited to have this opportunity, and be surrounded by Lilly Pulitzer! I’ll only be working 2 days a week, but it’ll be nice to have some extra money to put toward our wedding.

//four//
A New Semester

I told you a lot happened this week lol. Turning 22, starting a new job, wedding planning, and starting a new semester of college. I am currently a senior at Penn State World Campus (online). It is crunch time people! I had some major issues with my schedule this semester, all of which went down over the past week… The SparkNotes version: on Monday I ended up dropping a class and adding on two more (one of which I was told I could not take a few days earlier). It was a stressful day lol. I’m kinda worried about taking on an extra class, but I know the good Lord won’t give me anything I cannot handle. Still, please pray for me lol.

//five//
Birthday Gifts

I didn’t really do a “what I got for my birthday” haul like I did last year, so I figured I’d share with y’all briefly here. My parents so kindly gave me some money to go toward After Party Sale a few weeks ago, and you can check out my haul here. Grant got me the Disney x Gucci card case, which I am obsessed with! It is gorgeous and I’ll use it every day. My girl Ashley got me a flamingo wine glass and flamingo dishes (y’all know I love my flamingos). And my sweet new friend & coworker, Lea, got me a Lilly bangle in a print that I’ve loved forever. So sweet!

Cheers!

xoxo

💫My Short Review of Epic Universe💫 *as a Dis 💫My Short Review of Epic Universe💫

(blog post & YouTube video coming soon)

‼️TLDR: Overall it was as chaotic as I expected so I was neither impressed nor disappointed. However I’m unsure how things will suddenly be running smoothly at the opening that’s just 2 weeks away.

✨I’ll start with our highlight which was mainly Super Nintendo World! I was a big Nintendo kid so this was very anticipated for me. While the rides were meh the land is extremely immersive. I do wish we had more time to explore the games you can play with the power up bands! 

🍔As for food we didn’t eat a ton but had lunch at Oak & Star Tavern (BBQ) which was much better than I expected! Not the best theme park food I’ve ever had but definitely better than anything I’ve had at Universal in the past. We also got a frozen melon apple drink in Nintendo that was perfect for a hot day!

🐉Isle of Berk was cool overall but for such a niche IP I wasn’t really interested. The one ride we rode in the land - Hiccup’s Wing Gliders - ended up being our favorite!

🧟‍♂️Dark Universe was a tad underwhelming. I was really looking forward to it but it didn’t really do it for me. At night it was cool but the ride wasn’t as good as I was expecting. I’ve heard quotes that this is the “most technologically advanced ride in the world” and that’s simply not true. However the ride wasn’t as scary as I thought it would be!

🇫🇷Magical Paris was neat despite me not being a Harry Potter fan. It really felt like Paris! However the lack of attractions there is a huge problem. 

🎢Despite it being technical rehearsals to me does not justify the amount of rides that were either completely shut down or broke at some point. Only 2 attractions in the entire park had zero issues all day. We rode 4 attractions since everything else was closed (2 would’ve caused motion sickness). I don’t see how these will magically be working in 2 weeks. The closures caused long wait time and chaos in every aspect. At opening they had no system for filtering people into queues in a reasonable manner. Something Disney figured out decades ago. 

Glad we went and experienced something new! #epicuniverse

Spring has sprung🌸 I snagged this iconic tweed Spring has sprung🌸

I snagged this iconic tweed jacket from @lillypulitzer most recent sale and I’m obsessed - I got the matching dress and can’t wait to wear it as a set💚 

I’m also loving this belt from @jmclaughlin 🤍 As someone who struggles to find belts curated to my style when I saw this I fell in love. I finally snagged it in Newport Beach a few weeks ago and I’m obsessed! It truly elevates every look👏🏼
