Finding Dory Giveaway
Last week my mum and I took Little Miss and her cousin to see Finding Dory that was released country wide on the 29th July. I have to admit, I’m not actually a fan of Finding Nemo, I watch it as little as possible (however I love the musical at Animal Kingdom and the ride at Epcot haha) and don’t really encourage LM to watch it either. But I did really enjoy Finding Dory. The supporting characters were so much more interesting this time (especially Hank the octopus!) and I still got my fill of Crush and Squirt. I felt there was a lot more adult humour that went over…

Hacks for Surviving a Long Haul Flight with a Small Child*
In 50 days I’ll be embarking on my forth long haul flight to Walt Disney World with a child under 5 as a single parent. The first time I flew long haul (also the second time I flew with Little Miss) she was barely three. She turned three at the end of January and we flew the beginning of April. I know I had people tell me I was crazy, that I’d regret it when people were giving me “that look” when she couldn’t settle or ended up bored an hour in. Guess what? It never happened. In fact, as of yet it’s still never happened. Two of our flights…

Dermalogica Sebum Clearing Masque From Pure Beauty Review*
Well this is a rarity! A beauty post on Cocktails in Teacups, they haven’t made a regular occurrence for a good year now. Mainly due to the fact that since going to Disney became such a huge part of our life beauty went out the window. Of course I still wear make up, wash my hair, clean my face, I just use high street products or something from my stash. Plus, lets face it, I was never very good at the whole beauty reviews anyway! But a few weeks back the kind people at Pure Beauty sent me over a masque to try, hopefully it was going to be that…

Betty Spaghetty Mix Match Style Doll Review
Twenty years ago Betty Spaghetty was a huge hit of a toy with my little sister and her cousin and I have to admit she wasn’t one I ever saw making her a come back due to being.. well just being so 90s. With her jelly band material hair, the beads and brightly coloured clothes, she really was the epitome of a 90s toy and Little Miss does enjoy playing with the box of dolls that belonged to her Aunts, but never did I ever see her owning one! But hey, guess what she does, and I’m here to tell you all about Betty. Have you heard about Betty? Betty…

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child First Thoughts
I’m not really one for book reviews these days, I tried to do them but found it impossible to do them spoiler free. So I’m going to say now, this is NOT SPOILER FREE, so if you haven’t read Harry Potter and the Cursed Child yet, don’t read on any further because I’ll end up ruining it for you. This is my personal opinions and thoughts on the latest (and apparently last) instalment of the Harry Potter saga. As an introduction I’m going to give you a few bits of information. Firstly, I studied drama at university, I am very familiar with play scripts, both how to read them, how…
