Same Blog .. New Name

This is just a quick post to let you (all my lovely readers) know that I have changed the name of my blog.

'Up-in-clouds' is now the old name .. And the new name is 'Here In Wanderland'. So instead of up-in-clouds.blogspot.co.uk, my URL will now be hereinwanderland.blogspot.co.uk

It is still exactly the same blog with the same posts, it just has a new name and URL. 

Didn't want you all to get confused! 

Have a great day and don't forget to smile :)

Summer Wishlist - Update

Back in March when I first started my blog, one of my posts was a 'Summer Wishlist'. At the end of the post I said that I would get back to you when summer is over and go through what was on there and what I actually managed to get! So lets go through it..

1. Something Aztec

The first thing on my list was something aztec, as I love the patterns. I did manage to get something aztec, so I can tick this one off my list! 

2. Cut out buckle chelsea style boots

Another one I can tick of my list as I also picked some of these up! I was originally going for a plain black pair, but I really like the monochrome ones I got instead. 

3. A dungaree/pinafore dress

Unfortunately, I still haven't managed to get one of these. If any of you know where I could find one, please let me know! 

4. A Polaroid camera

Nope. Still not got one. I did manage to get a normal camera, but still not got a polaroid one. YET. I am still hopefully going to get one someday!

5. Midi rings

Another one I can tick off! I did get some midi rings and I love them! Just need to get a few more to add to my collection now!

*Picture from google images. Not my hand or rings*

I think 3 out of 5 isn't that bad! Would loved to have got everything from my wishlist, but unfortunately, I didn't. Lets hope next year I can do better! 

Did you manage to get everything from your summer wishlist this year?

You can check out my original wish list by clicking on this link .. Summer Wishlist

My favourite quotes

Don't you just love a good quote?! When you're feeling down or not yourself, an inspirational quote is always good to cheer you up and normally make you see that things will get better with time. Today I am going to share with you some of my favourite quotes. 

'In the end, we only regret the chances we didn't take'

Learn to say yes more often. If a once in a lifetime opportunity comes up, take it. You don't want to look back on your life and wish you had done more. Take chances and live your life to the fullest!

'You can't start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading the last one'

Stop worrying about your past. The past is the past, it can't be changed now. Think about the future. The future is all that matters. You can't change your past .. but you can shape your future.

'Life begins at the end of your comfort zone' 

If you stay in your comfort zone your whole life .. it will be boring! Don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and try new things! Chances are, you will enjoy most of the things you try. 

'Adults are only kids grown up, anyway'

Why should you stop having fun, just because you are an adult? Thats all adults really are ... big kids. Don't give up on your dreams or not do something because you think you're too old, You are never to old follow your dreams! Which leads me to the next quote... 

'Growing old is mandatory, but growing up is optional'

Says it all in the last quote. 

And last but not least.. 

Have a great day and don't forget to smile :)

5 Ways To Stay Motivated

 As you may know, it's not always easy to stay motivated all the time. No matter what you are working on, or how much you enjoy it, there are bound to be days where you really don't feel like doing it. There will also be days where all of your energy and emotions are in the gutter, but all of these fluctuations are part of life. Everybody, at some point, will go through them. Recently I have been finding it quite difficult to get motivated, so today I thought I would write a post on 5 ways to stay motivated, even when you don't feel like it! 

1. Set Goals

Whether that be to save a certain amount of money, to achieve something or to stick to a schedule, goals are a great way to keep you motivated. If you try and take on too much though, it will drain your energy and therefore leave you unmotivated. So stick to one goal at a time, and when you have achieved it, make another. 

2. Think about the Benefits

Don't think about how hard something is, instead think about what you will get of it. For example, don't think about how tiring exercising can be, focus on how good you will feel when your done, or don't think about how hard it can be to keep up a blog. think about all the people you could be helping or inspiring. Thinking of the benefits of something will help energize you. 

3. Find Inspiration

Inspiration can come from anything. Whether it's a person who has achieved what you are working to achieve, reading other peoples blogs, books or magazines, even just going for a walk and clearing your head can spark some inspiration. 

4. Stick with it

Even if you are not feeling motivated, don't give up. That motivation will come back to you. Think of your goals as a long road, each time you are not motivated, you have hit a bump, but  don't let that bump stop you from completing your journey. If you stick with it, you will get there in the end and the benefits will definitely be worth all of your hard work! 

5. Reward yourself

 Break up your goal. Start with easier tasks and once you have completed that step/task which gets you closer to achieving your goal, reward yourself with something. 

I hope that at least one of these ideas will help someone who is feeling unmotivated or uninspired to carry on what they are doing and to help them get back on track to getting where they want to be! 

If you have any other ways of keeping motivated, I would love to know! Leave me a comment or find me on Twitter (@cloudsinup) and let me know. 

Much Love..

June Favourites // ❤️

I can not believe how fast this year has gone already! I mean it's already July .. what?!? As I haven't done one of these posts before, I thought it would be fun to do a post about what I've been loving in June. 

Tea Tree & Witch Hazel Cleansing and Toning Lotion

I have been using this morning and night and it makes my skin feel feel so soft and super clean. I use this towards the end of my skincare routine, just before I moisturise my face. Even after I think I have cleaned my face properly, when I use this, it gets deep into your pores and removes dirt you didn't even know was there! This is definitely a favourite and I will be replacing this when I run out. 

Garnier Moisture + Matte Daily Oil-Free Moisturiser

For me, this is the best moisturiser for my skin that I have found so far. I have it for combination to oily skin, and it works really well. I only need to use a tiny bit to be able to moisturise my whole face! It doesn't make your face look shiny and it soaks straight into your skin and leaves it feeling smooth. And it smells really nice! I got this when it was half price, just to try it, but I think I'll be paying the full price now as I will be buying this again. 

Witch Naturally Clear Blemish Stick

I have been using this if I feel any spots coming on. As soon as I see a little bump on my face or feel a painful spot coming on, I just dab this stick onto it and it gets rid of it a lot quicker than if I just left it. It seems to stop it from getting any bigger and really does help alot! You can dab it on as and when required, as many times as you like. And it is the perfect size to keep with you in your handbag! 

Magnitone Lucid Daily Cleansing & Exfoliation brush

I have been loving my Magnitone Lucid ever since I was lucky enough to win it in The Bloggers Life competition! I have been using it as part of my morning skincare routine. I just apply a face wash to my face, then use my Magintone, starting on my forehead for 20 seconds until it beeps, then onto my cheeks for 10 seconds each and finally my nose and chin for the last 20 seconds. My skin has been looking so much better and brighter since using this! 

Dove Oxygen Moisture for Fine, Flat hair - Shampoo and Conditioner 

I unfortunately haven't been blessed with thick, long, luxurious hair, so I have tried everything I can think of to help add volume to my hair. This shampoo does help as its not heavy on your hair so doesn't weigh it down. It also helps when I hold my head upside down to dry my hair, but I do think this shampoo and conditioner has helped my hair look and feel more thicker and more voluminous. 

Black Dolly Shoes

These dolly shoes I got from Select a few months ago and I have been loving them recently.  They are quick and easy just to put on and they go with pretty much everything as they are black. They also have a gold stripe going across the front and a gold line going around the back of the heel to add a bit of detail. Simple but stylish! 

Finger and Thumb Rings

Recently I have been loving wearing a ring on my middle finger and one on my thumb! I also have midi rings to wear. I feel like they look very bohemian, and I love that look. It reminds me of festivals (even though I have never been to one), but I just love the look! 

Axwell /\ Ingrosso - Something New

I have been loving this song recently! Its just such a happy and summery song and it puts me in a good mood when I listen to it. And you can sing along to it .. which is always good! 

I hope you enjoyed this post .. I know its a bit late, but better late than never ay? What have you been loving this past month? 

Much Love..

Disney Decor // Wishlist

Hey lovelies! Who doesn't love Disney? So whats better than Disney inspired decor that you can have in your home! I have always been a big fan of Disney as it's what I've grown up with, so when I saw these I definitely got a little bit excited. I just want them all!

Mrs Potts and Chip - Beauty and the Beast

Cogsworth - Beauty and the Beast

Lumiere - Beauty and the Beast

Rose in a glass jar - Beauty and the Beast

Glass Slipper - Cinderella

Doorknob - Alice In Wonderland

Cupboard - Alice In Wonderland

Spinning Wheel - Sleeping Beauty

Those are just a few of the Disney/Fairytale inspired decor that I absolutely love! Like I said before .. I am a massive Disney fan I could watch the films all day! It's what i've grown up with and I will continue to watch the films, and when I have children, they will definitely be watching the Disney films I grew up with and any new ones that come out!

Are you a Disney Fan? What is your favourite Disney film? I recently watched the new Cinderella film and I loved it! Have you seen it?

Astigmatism // Know Your Eyes

Ever since I was little and started having regular eye tests, I have never needed glasses. Last November, I went along for my regular eye test as normal, but this time, my eyes had changed and for the first time ever, I needed glasses. The optician told me that my eyes had gone more rugby ball shaped rather than football shaped, and that's why my vision was blurry. I picked out my glasses and didn't really think much more of it. Recently, I decided to research it and see what the cause and name was for 'rugby ball' shaped eyes. It is called 'Astigmatism'.

Astigmatism is a common eye problem that affects your ability to see things close up and further away. Unlike short sightedness (which only affects distance vision) and long sightedness (which only affects close-up vision), astigmatism affects both distance and close vision. Astigmatism can make a multitude of tasks difficult, so I have to wear my glasses when I'm reading, writing, on my phone, on the computer, watching TV, and when I learn to drive I will have to wear them. She basically said I have to wear them when doing anything I concentrate on!

Astigmatism is a refractive error caused by an imperfection in the eye. This imperfection changes the way your eye focuses the light rays that pass into it. The light that enters your eye focuses on two places, rather than one, so you don't have one clear image, which makes objects at all distances look blurry.

Astigmatism is normally and was traditionally corrected by glasses and contacts. However, people can now get laser eye surgery to correct this imperfection.

Remember to get your eyes checked regularly so they don't get worse if you do need glasses. I haven't really worn mine since I got them, and I feel like my vision is getting worse. So I will now be wearing them properly as I want my eyes to hopefully correct themselves or atleast not get any worse!

Much Love..

New Tastes // American Food

Hello everyone! I hope your weekend is getting off to a good start! In todays' post I am going to be listing some traditional America Food that I would like to try! Some of this you may already be able to get here in England, but lets be honest .. the food always looks better when you see it in movies or pictures that are actually in America! *All images are from Google*

1. Corn Dogs

A Corn Dog is a hot dog sausage coated in a thick layer of cornmeal batter on a stick. They are traditionally associated with State Fairs. 

2. Pancakes and Maple Syrup

Even though we have pancakes here in the UK, they never seem to turn out like the American pancakes! They just look so good! Layered pancakes topped with butter and maple syrup.

3. Baked Alaska

Baked Alaska is a dessert consisting of ice-cream and cake topped with browned meringue. 

4. Snow Cone

Snow Cones consist of ice shavings that are topped with flavoured syrup. Basically the same as slushes, or slush puppies, but are made to look like ice-creams in a paper cone! 

5. Mississippi Mud Pie

Mississippi Mud Pie is a chocolate based dessert pie. It contains a gooey chocolate sauce on top of a crumbly chocolate crust. It is usually served with ice-cream. 

6. Twinkies

Twinkies are an American snack cake with a creamy filling. 

7. Key Lime Pie

Key Lime Pie is an American dessert made of key lime juice, egg yolks and sweetened condensed milk in a pie crust sometimes topped with meringue. 

8. Pumpkin Pie

Pumpkin pie is a sweet dessert traditionally eaten during the fall and early winter, especially for Thanksgiving and Christmas in the United States and Canada. 

9. S'mores

A s'more is a roasted marshmallow and a layer of chocolate sandwiched between two pieces of graham cracker. They are traditional night-time campfire treats popular in the United Stares and Canada.

I know not all, in fact none, of these foods are healthy .. but they all look sooo good! If I ever go to America (which would be a dream) then I am definitely going to try some, if not all of these foods! I bet the pies are not as good to buy in a shop then they would be if someone's grandma cooked them! You cant beat home-made food and grandma's are normally the best at baking! But since I don't know anyone in America ... Mine will have to be shop bought. 

If you are American or live in America or even if you have visited America and tried any of these treats ... let me know what you think of them! Is there anything else you think I should add to my list off American foods to try? 

Thanks for stopping by! 

Much Love..

Why I Love Summer ❤

Hi lovelies! Hope everyone's weekend is getting off to a good start?! As some of you may know (if you've read my previous posts), summer is my favourite season! And today I'm going to tell you some of the things I love about it.

The smell of cut grass..
I don't know how many of you are the same .. but when I smell cut grass, that's when I know its summer! I don't know what it is about it .. I just love the smell!

The smell of sun-cream..
I love the smell of sun-cream. It reminds me of holidays, which brings back loads of great memories! So sun-cream is definitely another summer smell I love!

Eating more fruit..
I know everyone eats fruit throughout the year, no matter what the season, but you seem to eat more in the summer! I love eating a nice fruit salad on a hot summers day. Its so refreshing and just makes you feel good.

The light mornings and longer evenings..
I always find it so much easier to get out of bed early in the summer when it's light outside compared to the dark, cold winter mornings. Also sitting in the garden until late at night just relaxing with a nice cold drink, watching the sunset. I feel more motivated and like I can get more things done in the summer!

BBQ's..
Who doesn't love a good bbq? Having all your friends round, making some food, having drinks and listening to music. I love it.

Wearing pretty dresses and skirts..
I love wearing dresses in the summer. They are nice and cool and not too tight so your not stuffy. They are comfy and just the perfect outfit for summer. You can style different dresses in so many ways with little accessories too!

The flowers and blossom.. 
Flowers in the summer are so colourful and just look so pretty.

Beach Days..
Days at the beach are perfect! The sand in your toes, the sea breeze keeping you cool and the sun giving you an amazing tan!

Road Trips..
Road trips with friends are the best! Sunglasses on, windows down, loud music and your best friends! I love going on road trips in the summer!

Good Vibes..
I don't know what it is .. The sun, the music, the longer days .. but everybody always seems so much happier in the summer! Everyones more chilled out and just seems to be in a better mood when the suns out! It's great! :)

So there you have it. Just a few of the reasons I love summer!

Thanks for stopping by to have a read and I hope you enjoyed this post!

What are your favourite things about summer? Let me know in the comments or find me on Twitter - @cloudsinup.

Online Pet Supplies // Review

Helloo everyone! :) If you have signed up to be a member of thebloggerprogramme, you would know that you get some great opportunities to work with some amazing brands. My cat Ziggy was lucky enough to be sent a Goodie Box from the lovely people at petshop.co.uk. Here is just a little bit about them... PetShop.co.uk is a nationwide home delivery subscription service to pet food. They are a young company with a team of friendly, helpful staff dedicated to saving you time and money. All of their staff are pet owners so they understand the needs of other pet parents.

What they do…

• They stock over 10,000 products and all major brands of pet food and supplies
• They offer a unique subscription service called Bottomless Bowl to ensure you never run out of pet food again.
• They deliver everything straight to your door and offer free delivery on all orders over £19.99
• They aim to provide excellent customer service

The delivery was quick and hassle free and it arrived the day after it was dispatched! Ziggy was very curious when it arrived and wanted to get in the box once it was opened!

The first product was Hills Science Plan Cat Food. This is formulated to support optimal fitness, with clinically proven antioxidants, lean proteins and enhanced Omega 3s. 

Key Benefits:

• Clinically proven antioxidants for a healthy immune system
• Supports gentle, healthy digestion
• Sustains healthy vital organs with balanced mineral levels
• Made with high quality ingredients for great taste. 100% guaranteed

Ziggy is very picky with what cat biscuits he will eat, but as soon as these were placed in front of him, he ate them and seemed to really enjoy them!

Next was Almo Nature Cat Food. With Almo Nature, you get nutrition and taste in one dish. It is made from carefully selected high-quality ingredients and contains no flavour enhancers or artificial preservatives. They are committed to offering the best quality dog and cat food and ensures full traceability of its production chain. He got given three different types of this wet food. Green Label, Rough Label and Traditional. 

Green Label
Green Label cat food range is made exclusively with pure ingredients i.e free from any additives.

Rough Label
Rough Label range contains pure ingredients with added vitamins and minerals.

Traditional
Traditional are the products that have made the history of Almo Nature and are available with the same, unchanged quality. 

He absolutely loved all three of these pouches, and cleaned his bowl with each one. 

Last but not least, he got a packet of Chicken flavour Dreamies. As i'm sure every cat does, he loves getting his Dreamies as a treat when he is a good boy! He loves them that much that he likes to knock the packet off the side and try to get in them himself! 

Ziggy was very happy with his Goodie Box, and I was happy that he enjoyed every item that was in there! If you have any pets, I would highly recommend having a look at Online Pet Supplies.  

I just want to say a big thankyou, from me and Ziggy, to the staff at petshop.co.uk for his lovely Goodie Box.

Pets // My Beautiful Cat ❤

Hellooo everyone! Since I haven't done a post on my beautiful kitty yet, todays post is going to be all about him! :) Please be aware .. there are ALOT of photos. They are not the best quality because they were not taken purely for my blog.

I actually feel like I should also talk about my cat that I had before my current little man. Back in 2011 my mums tortoiseshell cat had 4 adorable kittens. I, being a lover of all animals ... especially baby ones, had to have one! So that's how me and my boyfriend got Snoopy. Here are a few pictures of him ...

Snoopy was such a nice and friendly cat who loved cuddles and always gave you kisses! He used to push his face against yours whilst purring and if you wasn't paying him attention, he would rub his head on your hands to get you to stroke him. He would curl up on you and go to sleep and he loved to play. He was the perfect cat!

Last year (2014), Snoopy went out like normal. But he didn't come back. A day or two past and we were getting worried. It wasn't like him not to come home. So we rang up all the local vets and none of them had had any cats handed into them. So we just waited. A few days later, someone we know told us that one of the vets we had rang had posted a status on facebook to say they had had a cat taken into them. They posted it on the day our cat had gone missing, and yet when we rang, they had told us they'd had none handed in. My boyfriend rang them up again and queried them about it. They told him that a cat had been hit by a van, on the road at the top of where we live, and the person in the car behind the van had stopped and taken it to the vets. Unfortunately the cat had already passed by the time they got to the vets. They also said that because no-body had been in to claim it, it had been sent to the incinerator. So I went down to the vets and showed them a photo of our cat. They confirmed that it was our precious Snoopy. Even though my boyfreind had rang up the vets and was told they had no cats handed in! We didn't even get an apology! So we never got to say bye to Snoopy and that was really hard.

A few months later, someone we knew told us their cat had had kittens. We wasn't sure whether to get one, because we were still pretty upset about Snoopy. But then we saw them. They were so small and cute! So we decided to get one. Thats how we ended up with Ziggy.

Ziggy is half Bengal and is very playful! He has beautiful markings and is quite a big cat for his age. He has just turned 1 in April so is still a baby! :) We have decided not to let Ziggy out and to keep him as an indoor cat as we don't want the same thing to happen to him. We do take him out on a lead though, so he can get fresh air and have a bit of a wander. And he actually likes going out on his lead! He will walk with you and doesn't try to run off. He does have to stop and have a sniff every 2 seconds though!

I loved Snoopy, he was our first pet together and I still miss him to this day, but I also love Ziggy! He's not replaced Snoopy and never will, but he's our pet and we love him! :) Some of you may be thinking 'Their only cats!', but to us they are more like family.

I really hope this post didn't bore you and you managed to stay until the end!

Do you have any pets? Or have you lost any pets? Whats your favourite pet to have?

I love reading and replying to all of your lovely comments so please feel free to comment!
