Sleeping Beauty

This week's A Snap A Set A Song theme is "Fairytale" and, while I adore many fairytales, I was inspired to make a post about Sleeping Beauty. I love this story, and Disney's Maleficent is such a frightening villain! When she turns into the dragon at the end, my gosh, how scary! I also love the scene in Disney's film when the fairies are fussing over whether Aurora will have a pink or blue dress 
- love those little ladies!

My Snap is a  montage of the wonderful characters from the Disney film:


My Set was designed to capture the beauty of the princess, the castle setting, and the roses that grew all around over a hundred years.

My Song is the beautiful and sad, A Thousand Years by Christina Perri (just a tad more than Sleeping Beauty's one hundred years, but still fitting.)


When I was creating this post, I couldn't help thinking of my little niece, Willow, 
who passed away last year, after ten days of life.




So I dedicate this post to her, 
as she is our family's own Sleeping Beauty.
Sweet dreams, little one. We love you.

My Favourite Scent

Over at  Sweet Little Pretties, Lisa is asking, What is your favourite scent?
There are dozens I could name, but I especially love the scent of roses.


I also love how my boys smell after they've had a shower! Especially if they've washed their hair. 
All fruity and sweet!

                                         
                                         
          


A few years ago I gave up using chemicals in my bathroom, and found miessence products to replace them. They smell so yummy and are good for you!  
On my sidebar you can press the 'Shop' button and it will take you to our miessence shop where we have a whole range of organic goodies for the bathroom.
These are my two favourite ones:




Head over to Sweet Little Pretties to find more scents that people love, and add your own,
 if you wish!

     Thursday is the day I play along with Thea at A Snap, A Set, and A Song.

   Water for Elephants, the first thing that came to mind was Rosie the elephant.
