My London/Scotland Trip

Hey Divas,

My second trip I did abroad was back in fall of 2023 to London and Scotland! I ended up going with a friend I met in Paris on this trip, her name is KJ! We immediately clicked in Paris then booked this trip together! 

London, England

London was so much fun! We got to see so many iconic sights like the Buckingham Palace, Big Ben & London Bridge! I even got to ride on one of the big red buses! I spent the entire couple days listening to Taylor Swift's 'London Boy' song and trying not to do a fake British accent haha. 

 

It was so nice being able to just walk around seeing everything London has to offer. We went into many bookstores because we are both readers! One of the nights, KJ and I even went to the casino to go see a Magic Mike show! It was so much fun because we got to have drink and watch them dance! 

This entire trip was so Harry Potter coded because in London we got to see so many Harry Potter buildings, statues, and shops! In Scotland too there was so many Harry Potter shops and there also Victoria Lane aka. Diagon Alley!

Edinburgh, Scotland

Edinburgh will forever be one of my  favorite places I've visited! It was so beautiful and we went during fall, so it has those perfect fall vibes! Walking the streets of Edinburgh during the fall was so dark academia coded! I could see myself studying in one of the cafes we visited. 

Scottish men. Obviously I already romanticize them enough, because on the train ride to Scotland I literally read a Scottish romance book lol, but some of the men were so attractive. The accent makes them way hotter than usual. But we had so many cool tour guides men and women. They were so insightful and just truly made the experience better. They showed us a haunted part of Edinburgh, and also showed us the beautiful architecture. I would start my days looking at the views, then end it dancing at the pub! The pub was so cool because so many people were dancing, and it wasn't like a regular club dancing they did some line dancing sort of dancing. I even joined in for one song, we were just swinging and swaying, it was the best night ever.

One of the days we took a bus ride to the Scottish Highlands. We stopped to pet highland cows! They were so fluffy and we got to see their bangs. After petting the highland cows we hiked the Scottish Highlands. It was so beautiful.

I forgot to mention the food on this trip, but some of it was good, but honestly I was so tired of it by day 4. My friend and I kept eating Pizza Hut because we needed some type of American food lol. In Scotland, I was going to try Haggis but I chickened out and decided not too, but someone else in our group tried it! 

These places were both so amazing I really would like to go visit them again someday! <3

Pretty Little Liars

Hey Divas,

I am currently rewatching one of my favorite comfort shows Pretty Little Liars! This is the most fall show ever and I love it! I remember watching this show when it first came out. I vividly remember watching the finale and finding out who A was. I was gagged when they discovered who it was lol. Have you watched this show? If so, vote on my poll or comment, who your favorite liar is! :)

My favorite Liars (in order) are: Spencer Hastings, Emily Fields, Hanna Marin, Aria Montgomery and Alison Dilaurentis. 

Here are some mood boards for each character! <3

~Spencer Hastings

Spencer has always been my favorite, because I loved her style and her smarts. She was always focused on studies and sports, she's my ultimate study motivation! Her and Toby are my favorite couple in the series.

~Emily Fields

I absolutely love Emily! I loved that her sport was swimming! I feel like in tv a lot of sports are cheer, gymnastics etc. I love that she is lesbian. Especially her being a main character and having a queer backstory in a 2000s show is huge! I came out as bi a little while ago, but now I know why I loved Emily so much when I was younger LOL. I still won't ever forgive the PLL writers for taking Maya away from her! They were so cute together!

~Hanna Marin

Hanna holds such a special place in my heart, as someone who has been the bigger friend most of my life. She went through so much especially with Alison. Even though Alison let her 'join' the friend group she still always battled her internal thoughts of her being bigger, prettier, and popular. Hanna was easily the most loyal friend in this series! She was always down to help her friends. Her style was also so cute because she was just so girly and I love it. 

~Aria Montgomery

I have such a love/hate relationship with Aria. I love her because her style was always so cool, and I loved when she dyed her hair! I love her overall vibe she gives! The thing I hate is her relationship with Ezra. In this situation she was the victim, and was groomed, (so I don't hate for her that) but I just wish she would've left him and literally dated anyone else her age. She had some good contenders tbh. I wish they would've kept in that she was originally supposed to be A! That would've been such a good twist to show her going behind her friends back and doing all these things.

 

~Alison Dilaurentis 

Alison is my least favorite liar. She truly was just such a bitch to everyone, no wonder people wanted to go after her omg. I do like how fearless she was at times though and how even though it was bitchy she lowkey is a girl boss lol. She got things done when needed to. If I was her friend I lowkey would not have missed her or looked so hard into what happened to her. Maybe that makes me a bad person, but omg Ali truly was so evil at times. How was she 15 and blackmailing so many people lmao.

my fall tbr

Hey Divas,

I am finally starting my fall reads! Here are some books on my fall tbr! <3

Are any of these books on your tbr?

I have been in a 2 MONTH LONG READING SLUMP?! I have a month break off of school, so I'm hoping to read as much as a can now to get out of my slump.

my powwow weekend

 Hey Divas,

 If you guys seen on my blog, I was on vacation for week. I went back home to California to visit family and attend a powwow! I had so much fun visiting my family, and friends because I missed them so much! <3

 The powwow was fun too, because I finally danced and I haven't danced in over a year and a half! It felt good being in my regalia again. I am a northern traditional dancer. I do stationary, which means I mostly stay in one place when dancing rather than dance around the circle. I'm hoping to dance more, but I really need to get in shape again and work out my legs lol. My legs were killing from dancing. I had cramps because it has been so long. Regardless of the leg pain, the powwow was good. I had some good food and got to spend a lot of time with my nieces! I took my digital camera so I was snapping pics of my family and the powwow. I have a couple videos from the powwow that I might post on YouTube or just my other socials :)

Here's a photo dump from this weekend! <3
