Rachel's Next Adventure

You may have also seen my a utumn/winter date ideas post. Picnic What better than a lunch made together with love that you can take OUTSIDE? Pack your favourite food, drinks and snacks and head to a nice, sunny and quiet location and spend the day just the two of you surrounded by nature. When I was young, we used to have family picnics on Fulwell Quarry and at the beach. I'd love to explore the Quarry again, but now its a pretty dodgy area where all the bad kids and unemployed young adults hang out to drink and fight. Beach Living so close to the beach, my fiancé and I enjoy walking to and along the beach, picking up some chips and maybe an icecream along the way. Throwing stones into the water, making sandcastles and playing in the arcade are great ways to spend the summer evenings together. Rockpools Bored of walking up and down the sand? This is a little more interesting. You can find small fish, crabs and all sorts of other small sea creature...

Sunnycon 5 was the 9th convention i've been to and it was the first I decided to finally cosplay at! It was a bit of a short notice plan - I decided two days before I headed to Disneyland Paris! So I had to quickly rush and just order whatever was the closest and would arrive on time! I did have a couple of problems with getting a wig, I did get one in the end - the day before Sunnycon started, and it wasn't perfect, but at least it was here! I decided to cosplay Hiro Hamada, I had originally wanted to cosplay Boruto, but Hiro was the only thing I could put together in the few days I had available. First costume test. The jacket and shoes I already had so i'm not sure about where they were from/prices. The shoe laces I bought from Amazon . The shorts - a bit long for me, were also from Amazon . The tshirt was from Red Bubble . The wig was from eBay . Pre-styled Wig. I decided to skip on the long sleeve white tshirt as th...

I recently bought a few DIY Candy kits from Japan and thought I would record how-to videos while I made them. Here is the first one I made, you can watch the video below! This kit was fun to make, and the donuts were really cute! The only downside was they really didn't taste very nice! The strawberry icing was lovely, but the sort of 'jelly-like' texture of the no-bake donuts was a bit off-putting! Follow this blog on BlogLovin' Like us on Facebook

I was recently (finally!) recontracted at work - meaning i'm not a full weekend worker anymore! I switched my Sunday to a Monday and i've basically cried tears of happiness ever since. Just under four years of working all weekend was a bit of a killer, especially with my fiancé's only days off being Saturday and Sunday! But now we finally have a day off together and I can't wait to get out and rediscover the area we live in! Beamish We've never been here together! And neither of us have been since School so we're looking forward to looking around (eating cinder toffee) , taking photographs (eating cinder toffee) and spending the day together (eating cinder toffee) . Blue Reef Aquarium My fiancé has wanted to go here for a while, but with it's early closing time we've never been able to with not having a full day off together. South Shields We've not been here for years! With never having a day off together we'v...

My fiancé and I saw The Secret Life Of Pets last night, here is his review. The Secret Life of Pets, by the same people who brought you Despicable Me and Minions, is a CGI-animated movie about a dog named Max who gets taken in by a woman named Katie in her apartment in Manhattan. Max is friends with all the other local pets who hang around with each other when their owners aren't around. The title and strap-line of the movie (Ever wonder what your pets do when you're not home) is a little misleading because there is nothing to signal that the actions in the movie represent a normal day for the characters, although the events apparently do take place during one day. Max has his life turned upside down when a new dog named Duke gets taken in by Katie and Max gets jealous and starts being mean about Duke, who then starts being mean to Max in return, which results in a trip to the park where they both lose their collars and end up caught and going to the pound....

Hakuna Matata I was really upset to find out before my DLP Trip that this would be closed during our entire stay! Hakuna Matata is probably my favourite place to eat at Disneyland Paris now after the food at Cafe Hyperion and Casey's Corner changed between a couple of my trips (they're really not as nice as they used to be). Hakuna Matata is a small restaurant in Adventureland and its only really open in high season, which is a shame because the food is so nice! They have two indoor seating areas - one side named after Timon and the other after Pumbaa. Café Hyperion Cafe Hyperion is the biggest restaurant in the parks and is open every day. It stays open until around park closing time meaning it's the easiest place to grab a bite to eat while you're in the parks. I don't like how it's been rethemed to Star Wars, I miss watching Disney/Pixar shorts and the Lion King Show, but I guess if you have a small Star Wars fan, they probably enjoy watch...
