Earlier this month, we had the opportunity to host a Disney Side @ Home Celebration Party. My family and I love Disney and we had a great time showing our Disney Side. If you haven't already, please check out Part 1 of my party recap. You can read about all the planning that went into the party and how we decorated.

I didn't really figure out what I was going to wear for the party, until literally right before guests were supposed to arrive. I had originally planned on just putting on one of my Disney T-shirts and a Minnie Mouse headband that I had gotten from Disney World this past fall.

Then, I thought it would be cool to make my own Minnie Mouse ears. I really liked the ones my daughter had gotten from Disney World (though, sadly, she lost them at Hollywood Studios).

Earlier this month, we hosted a Disney Side @Home Celebration party. It was a fun way to share our love for all things Disney with our friends and family. One activity that we did during our party was to have a photo booth where guests could use props and take pictures of themselves.

Originally, I had planned on just ordering a set of props from Etsy and calling it a day. But, I really didn't want to spend the money and figured I could make my own for less money. I did a search on Google, but didn't really see many sites that had templates that I could use. I don't have a color printer, so I was looking for sites with printable templates that I could trace on to cardstock and foam.

Ever since I entered my mid-thirties (ugh, I hate admitting that!), I've become more aware of changes in my skin. My skin has gotten more dry and the skin tone has become uneven. My eyes just always look tired. I have eye bags that never go away and the skin around my eyes are always dark.

This has led to my search for skincare products that can help me improve the look of my skin. Recently, I had the opportunity to try out a few skincare products from Radha Beauty. The brand is fairly new, having launched in the summer of 2014. They specialize in natural skincare products and organic oils. I tried their Vitamin C Serum, Retinol Moisturizer and Intensive Youth Eye Gel.

It's been so cold lately. We had about six inches of snow come down the other day and today we have below zero wind chill temps. This is the kind of weather that makes me want to curl up with my favorite fuzzy blanket and have a nice cup of coffee and a pastry.

I've been on a scones kick lately and I thought it would be interesting to see how they'd taste if I used Splenda instead of sugar.  I've never baked with Splenda before and really only use Splenda in my coffee.

If you haven't figured it out already, my family and I are big Disney fans. We recently had the chance to share our love for Disney and show our Disney Side by throwing a Disney Side @Home Celebration party. 

Hosts were sent a package of goodies from Disney that included many of the things needed to host a Disney party. Items in the kits were centered around a theme, such as Mickey & Friends, Disney Villains and Sophia The First. Our party kit had a Multi-Generational theme. You can see what came in our party kit in my unboxing post.

Since our theme was pretty general, it was kind of hard to figure out what direction to go with for decorations and food. The ideas I pinned on my Pinterest board were all over the place! My one son wanted to have a party with a Disney Infinity theme. My other son wanted either Big Hero 6 or Cars. My daughter wanted to showcase her favorite Disney movies, like Frozen and Tangled. I thought it would be fun to do a World Showcase at Epcot theme or maybe Magic Kingdom. So, we ended up just doing a combination of everything!
