Outfit of the Day – Legs Are Required for Jumping, Dancing
Today I’m sharing with you the first ever outfit of the day not taken in my kitchen! Last week I finally felt brave enough to head out into the big wide world armed with my camera and my tripod to shoot an outfit of the day IN PUBLIC! As Little Miss was at nursery I went down to the beach which due to it being so windy was pretty dead, thank goodness! I did feel awkward and it was so sunny (hence the sunglasses!) but I did it, and you know what? I want to do it again! I want my photography skills to improve even if that means making…

30 Days of Disney Instagram Challenge
Don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten about 100 Happy Days, I would just rather post more Disney haha. In June I took part in 30 Days of Disney over on Instagram and although I did forget a couple of days, instead of giving up I went back and caught up. I knew this would be one of the only Instagram challenges I would make the effort to complete and since I did, I decided to share it here, because after all, Cocktails in Teacups can never have enough Disney posts. Day 1, Favourite Movie – Tangled Day 2, Favourite Song – I Won’t Say (I’m In Love) from Hercules Day 3,…

The Warner Brothers Studio Tour – The Making of Harry Potter
Back in May I FINALLY got to go to the Harry Potter Studio Tour for my best friend Bee‘s birthday. I have been wanting to go for ages so when she suggested that I went with them as there was space in the car I was there despite it being two days after getting back from DLP. We set off very early in the morning and stopped half way down for a Little Chef breakfast and arrived an hour or so before our booking time of three pm. I had Little Miss with me due to the fact my parents were away for the weekend, although I know in hindsight…

Princess Grace of Monaco Inspired Hair with Glitzy Secrets
Garland of Pearls Head Band* £26, Glitzy Secrets Firstly, please ignore my huge nose and bumpy skin. Secondly, how bloody beautiful is this hairband? I love pretty things for my hair, which is why I post a lot of outfit posts featuring floral crowns! Anyway, this one comes from Glitzy Secrets, a lovely website that specialises in beautiful hair pieces and jewellery. Their target audience appears to be brides (and why the hell not? I’d LOVE to wear something on my wedding day from Glitzy Secrets!) however I was contacted and asked if I’d like to review something on the back of the new Grace of Monaco movie starting Nicole…

Top Travel Tips for Disneyland Paris with a Toddler
This is my final post about Disneyland Paris, honest. I have been back for well over a month now and I still have the Disney blues, well maybe not the blues, more like the Disney obsessive. Not just me but Little Miss even talks in her sleep about it so I am definitely going to miss having a reason to write about it. Oh well, only nine months TODAY until our next Disney holiday! It’s become a great source of bribery for good behaviour and potty training though haha, Anyway, no more potty talk! Today’s post is about some helpful hints and tips I got from visiting the parks and…

In Which We Say Goodbye To #3dates3mths
Back in February I agreed to take part in Just Singles #3dates3mths, and here I am finally at the end of my challenge. And ho hum, I’m still single. But I won’t lie, I would’t say I was the same person back then. Last month I took on my last challenge. A tour in Edinburgh and unfortunately I have little to say on it. I ended up in a group of mainly couples and the two guys who weren’t both had girlfriends back in Australia! I guess it was a good idea although it was a little fruitless. Oh well, like Carrie in Sex and the City, I can be…
