Paris & Disneyland Paris | Photo Diary

If you didn't know I recently went on holidays to the beautiful city which is Paris! I visited some amazing places in my time there and thought it would be good to share some (my favourite being Disneyland Paris which I actually have a vlog of up on my Youtube here if that's your kind of thing). I had an abundance of pastries and macrons over there and loved literally everything, we did the most tourist-y things also so if you're planning on visiting Paris soon you might want to check these places out!

Obviously the most tourist place in Paris is the Eiffel Tower so that was first on our list of spots to visit, and we were so lucky with the weather in the week.

This is the view from the Eiffel Tower, not from the top though that's waaay to high for me.

 

The view from the Arc du Triomphe onto the Champs Elysee.


The outside of the Louvre which I have to say was very impressive.

    
The inside of the Louvre and of course Sleeping Beauties Castle in Disneyland (My favourite place in the whole world).

The Tower of Terror which is simultaneously my favorite and least favorite ride.

    
The entrance to Hollywood Studios and my other fave ride Hyperspace Mountain, which is better than I remember it being.

    
Main Street USA on the 25th Anniversary.

Notre Dame Cathedral, in which I sang the Hunchback of Notre Dame songs continuously. 

My favourite meal of the trip which had a view of Notre Dame just along the Seine.

The view of Notre Dame from the very top, which was a lot of stairs.

    
The Eiffel Tower at night and when it sparkles is my favorite thing ever, it only sparkles between eleven pm and five past so make sure your there then!

Has anyone been to Paris before? What's your favourite place to visit?

Printing Memories with Printiki

If you're anything like me then you're probably obsessed with taking photos of everything every time you go somewhere. I take photos constantly and I'm always running out of phone memory and camera storage, and the one thing I don't do as often as I should is getting my pictures printed out to have. As photos are essentially like pieces of memories that you can keep and look back on I think it's really important to keep them safe and have physical copies to cherish forever. 

I usually print my photos in photo stores and kiosks in places like Boots but I hadn't done so in a while as I find it takes forever to chose your photos in store and also just a little bit pricey. So I was offered to try Printiki's online printing service and it was something that I have been meaning to try for ages. Printiki is an online printing service which allows you to chose pictures from various types of media such as your own laptop or social media apps such as Instagram and Facebook which is super easy and I love being able to pick my favourites instantly. I found the website really easy to use and chose photos from my social media outlets and my laptop itself and it was so easy to navigate I was really impressed. The longest part of the process was picking my favourite photos to print! 

You can chose a variety of different types of prints small and large and you can completely customize the way you like, like the retro Polaroid style prints that I think are super cute, you can even personalize them with your own messages. I decided to chose the square prints with no border on them to maximize the picture, I also opted for a matte finish but you can also chose between that or a glossy finish. 



I printed out some holiday photos and wanted to display them on my wall and do something creative with them, so I picked up some hanging photo clips from Primark Home to display my favourites on my wall. Although my wall is quite chipped and it really needs a fresh coat of paint the pictures look super cute hanging on the wall and I need to buy extra clips to hang more up. You can head over to Printiki's Instagram to check out other creative photo ideas and inspirations, and also lots of other pretty pictures!





As I only had eight clips to hang up the photos on the wall I decided to make a scrapbook with the other photos as it was something I've been meaning to do for a while, I can't wait to design the scrapbook and continue to fill it up completely with memories.

   


Overall I really loved how easy the pictures were to upload and edit and I love the size and matte finish of the photos, also the quality is great, I will definitely be ordering more soon! They took just a little over a week to arrive which isn't too bad and the price for the prints is super affordable for the quantity and quality. If you would like to order some of your own printed memories, you can get free shipping when you buy prints by using the code H7C2R28B at the checkout!

I hope you enjoyed looking at my photos and what I have done with them! Let me know if you print some photos of your own!
