I will not lie I found this on Pinterest and I really want to make them. But I just don't have the time this year to decorate or so anything for halloween. Which makes me very sad. But these are my three favorite no carve pumpkin ideas from Pinterest. These are all no carve pumpkin ideas and I won't like pretty girly. But I think they're all creative and fun. Number One: Pastel Quotes. I love anything that has pastel. I think it makes everything so bright and playful. And if you don't like  to carve this is perfect. To me this would be a really fun girls night for halloween. Painted these and coming up with funny halloween puns and watching some scary movies.  Number 2: Glitter monogrammed pumpkin An easy and more chic idea is to paint your pumpkin white or black. Then getting gold or silver glitter paint. I personally would get stencils to keep the placement and everything more in line. This would be a nice pumpkin to keep inside the house around the li...

My amazing boyfriend took me to Be Our Guest at Magic Kingdom for my 22nd Birthday. He really made this a special birthday and I am so happy and thankful he took me to Magic Kingdom and got reservations here for lunch. So here is my review on it.  I got the carved turkey on a baguette with pommel frites. Basically a turkey sandwich and french fries. But it was a very very good turkey sandwich. And we sat in the rose room I think is what they call it. Which is beasts bed room with the magical rose. It was really nice a romantic. Our dessert we shared was the master's cupcake. The frosting is the grey stuff that they serve at dinner. And yes I tried it and it's delicious. It tastes like cookies and cream but like a very light frosting. The cupcake itself was a chocolate cupcake. It's a cupcake where you would need to eat it with a fork though. I loved celebrating my birthday with my boyfriend at Magic Kingdom who got to take me to Be Our Guest for t...

Of course our main event in Rome was the colosseum. Where they had guys out here as warriors who I guess also wore snapback hates under their helmets. But it was a fun tourist picture to have for my scrapbook. Which I will be starting soon and will ever youtube or blog about it. In side was so amazing. I couldn't believe how big it was and how put together it still is. For it to still be standing and not look too crumbled or anything. Again I go back to how I felt in Athens when you just look around and think of the hundreds and thousands of people who have been walking through here. All the people back in ancient Rome who sat and watch gladiators fight. Julius Caesar himself would walk these steps that I was walking on. I may just be a history nerd but you have to realize how amazing that is.  When we got off our sight seeing bus we had to get pizza. Now this place we went to had amazing and interesting pizzas. We had one with lettuce, roasted tomatoes, and mozz...

Now our last port of the cruise we didn't get off. I went to the spa and got pampered. After that my mom and I just relaxed by the pool and had so cocktails. Then we played mini golf and after that we headed to room to get ready for the formal night of dinner on the ship. I will explain the photo above in the next paragraph. After dinner my mom and rushed over to the Battle of the Sexes game show. Which I got chosen to represent the girls! Not shock here, but we won. It was so much fun and I had such a great time playing this game that I wanted to participate in the next game. Which happened to be directly after Battle of the Sexes. I don't have too many pictures because this game was CRAZY! This was The Quest! I was the female team captain for team number four. And let me just say we got cheated out of winning. Our team was awesome and we should of won. This game is an 18 and up game on the ship. For a very good reason. All Royal Caribbean ships do this game...

Now day five of the cruise we ported in the beautiful town of Mykanos. By far my favorite stop in Greece. Well a tie between here and Carfu. The whole town is all white buildings by the ocean. Lined up all along the shore area or more like the fishing area was all resturaunts and shops. Now this was my breakfast when we got off the ship. It was mini Belgian waffles covered in Nutella and an iced mocha coffee. I know it wasn't the healthiest thing to eat but I was on vacation, okay? Let me splurge a bit. I sadly forgot to take photos of my lunch but I can assure you that it was delicious and authentic Greek. I believe we had griddled cheese, stuffed grape leaves, and olive tapenade. Oh and of course a couple glasses of wine. Walking around Mykanos was very relaxing and laid back. It was so pretty walking around the port and going into the shops and of course the food. I wish I could eat all of that again. Hopefully I can go back one day and do that.

The moment I have been waiting for is going to Athens. Sadly it was a bit rainy and cloudy but we still to to do everything we wanted to do. Including the Acropolis which is photographed above. Behind me is the famous Pantheon. It's so weird thinking thousands and thousands of years the structure has lasted and how many people have walked and stood where I was. I sat on a rock thinking how many people through the years have sat on this rock thinking like me. It's a really amazing feeling and experience. Now the Acropolis is a bit of a hike to get to the top of. As you can see in the photo above. You can see all of Athens from the very top. This photo isn't at the very top but it's pretty close. I just find such beauty in historical places. I love to just imagine how it looked in its prime. It is so incredible and I am so happy that I got to experience it. Who knows how long it could still be standing. Then I got to go to the first Olympic stadium. N...

First stop on the cruise was Kotor, Montenegro. Which we did a tour of the old city. So many old churches and so much history. Our tour guide was awesome. At this time I was still sick with a cold and it was really hot out. So, after the tour we just headed back to the ship and relaxed by the pool and then went to our dinner. Our next stop was Carfu, Greece. Which we went out on our own and discovered an old fort. Which was on a hill where we ate at a nice cafe and I had the best iced coffee ever. Then found an old church or temple which is photographed above. We then headed towards the shopping area where I bought quite a few things.  It was so beautiful walking around the streets. You can see in the photo above how far back they all went. I could of walked around all day there but we had a wine tasting on the ship to get to. I was a bit disappointed that there was only one white wine and the rest were all dark reds. I'm not a big fan of red wine so this...

Our first day on the cruise was a simple and easy day. We got onto the ship and settled into our room. We got some cocktails and hung out by the pool on the deck. As we watched the sunset as we sailed away from Venice.  The rooms were actually bigger than I thought they would be. They were bigger than some rooms we stayed in so far in Europe. But the biggest room was actually at the hotel by the airport in rome. But anyways, since this ship is an American ship it was nice to have american outlets. This is my outfit for the first dinner on the cruise. It is a dress I bought at Top Shop in Oxford Street. It's a nice black dress with floral print. Also you can see the rest of our room where we had closet space and a desk where I bought the internet package. The other package we purchased was a drink p package where we got bottled water, soft drinks, wines, beers, and cocktails all included. It was a good deal to be honest.

We found a place in Venice by the train station and across the canal. I never actually got the name of this place but the food was so amazing. If you go left out of the train station it will be on the right hand side. We never really got the name of the restaurant but this place was so good we went twice. Our first day went we shared two entrees. Caprese Salad was our like healthy thing to eat. Just look at how beautiful and amazing this salad looks. Have you ever seen such a beautiful salad? I believe the answer to that question is no.  This was a ricotta and spinach ravioli with a truffle gorgonzola sauce and walnuts. This is probably one of the best ravioli dished I have ever had. Now the second time we went my mom got a really yummy Italian cheese plate. We got some bread for the table as well. My dish was an Italian tomato soup croutons and parmesan cheese. This soup was so nice. It had not added spices or hidden ingredients. It just simply tomato soup....

We left Paris to head to Venice, Italy on an overnight train. We went through Switzerland to head there. As you can see in the photo it was a small little room with bunk beds. It had a little counter, a mirror, some hangers, and a little sink. The bathroom was in another car on the train. I would have to say it was an experience. Happy to say that I have done, but would probably not do it again. We finally reached Venice and when you got out of the train station you walked straight out and there was the Grand Canal. It was really breath taking and such an amazing experience. We took a water taxi to St. Marcos Square. And we got to see all the beautiful sights of Venice. St. Marcos Square is a place that is very famous and popular. But I realized there wasn't too much to do there except shop, eat, or drink. Which trust me those are in my top five favorites things to do. Besides travel and watch movies/tv shows all day. I will post more of the sight seeing ...

When we went to the Eiffel Tower we found a traditional french style restaurant called Letrentehuit Brassiare. I can't tell you exactly what street it was on but it was very close to the Eiffel Tower. The service was a little weird and my mom and I couldn't help but laugh at how it was run. But it was a great dining experience. My entree was a traditional cheese crepe with a side salad. It was a french cheese where I'm not sure what kind of crepe they used. It was brown, as you can see in the photo, and it had a more savory taste it. I really wanted a crepe to eat in France and a savory one was a great choice. I also had a glass of french rose wine and of course the bread was a baguette.  Dessert was the best part. Which isn't a surprise being in Paris. I thought it would be best to get a small dessert sampler. Top left was a pistachio mousse., top right was a chocolate mousse, bottom right was a toffee mousse, and the bottom left is clearly a creme bru...
