Finding my #DisneySide isn't difficult because, well..Disney is incorporated into my day to day. I'm a full grown adult who listens to Disney music at the gym and in the car (I always wonder/worry that people can hear me). Disney on my walls, Disney dishes and cups, Disney shirts.

You get the picture, if you have been reading for awhile this is repeat news. So my 20th birthday rolled around, and guess where I wanted to spend it? Disneyland #duh

Here are some snaps from my stay at the happiest place on earth.

The Disneyland Hotel is dreamy and I think out of the three hotels on the property, this one is my favorite. The Grand Californian is more luxurious, and Paradise Pier is a better deal but this one screams Disney with every detail. If you're like me and mouse shaped soap, characters in the lobby, and themed dining is your thing than this is the best kind of place!

Every last little "D" tail is Disney themed at the hotel (hehe)

The enchanted tiki bar at the hotel has quickly become tradition. Wearing this Lilly dress (on sale for under 100$!) and these glasses. (similar purse and sweater)

Till next time Disneyland!

You can see more of my Disney Park favorites (as well as other locations) on the new "Travel Guide" tab of this blog. I will be adding locations and favorites all summer long.

Good things come in itty bitty packages. (case and point)

Traveling is wonderful and chalk full of memory making potential, but with that said it also takes its toll and leaks into your everyday routine. Any product that makes the whole packing/travel/unpacking process a little bit easier is right up my alley.

Stowaway Cosmetics (full kit pictured above) has tiny, easily stored makeup thats just as practical as it is cute. In a nutshell you choose your shades and they send you a kit that fits into a very small pouch for on the go. No doubt these little cuties will be coming with me in leu of a stuffed toiletry bag on my next trip.

PS. The perfume "Moonlight Gypsy" is not included with this kit and is from Pinrose Fragrances, another travel favorite of mine.

Something about the arrival of spring makes me want to clear out every little nook and cranny in my life, and lately since I spend so much time online...electronics are no exception. Here are a few things that helped me refresh for the season and left my electronics squeaky clean.

Delete Duplicate Photos On Your Phone/ Nothing worse than going to snap a photo, and getting a not-so-friendly alert that your storage is full. Clear out those extra photos (and back them up!) when you are waiting in line or otherwise unoccupied.

Consolidate Old Files/ That paper from high school..you probably don't need immediate access to it anymore. Consolidate files by subject, theme, or type and then put them into a larger broader folder. Clear up that desktop!

Eliminate Useless Apps/ Easy to forget! If you haven't used it in a year, its wasting precious storage.

Change Your Wallpaper/ Refresh your wallpaper with something empowering, inspiring, or just to change things up! My favorite places to find free wallpapers are here and here. Same goes if your phone case feels gritty, I'm totally in love with this one! The little cactus print is ah-dorable!

Unsubscribe From Junk Mail Streams/ Unroll Me is a god send for cleaning out your inbox!

Update Your Resume/ You never know when you will need it, and little updates are so much easier than an overhaul when an opportunity arises.

Hopefully these little changes leave you feeling fresh and in a spring state of mind! Have a wonderful Saturday!

Sharing some snaps of an outfit I wore on a recent trip to Bend today! The weather was perfect during our visit and it gave me a glimpse at the summer days ahead! My new pom pom scarf (turned into a last minute sweater) turned out to be the perfect thing to pack
