Seen in: Sleeping Beauty, 1959 Website: https://princess.disney.com/aurora My favorite songs: “Hail to the Princess Aurora” – it’s really catchy “I Wonder” “Once Upon a Dream” My favorite things about Aurora: She has gorgeous hair She can sing like a bossContinue reading “Aurora Stats and Goals and Things”

  Thank you to my friend who so generously took me to the Conservatory and taking the photos! If you are curious about the Franklin Park Conservatory here is a link to their website. Home If you don’t remember what Briar Rose wonders about in Sleeping Beauty, watch below.  

Aurora and I got to a late start this month. I don’t know if I hit the snooze on my alarm clock or if she did, but we eventually got together. Unlike the last two princesses, Aurora is unique. Though she is the titular character, she only has about 18 minutes of screen time inContinue reading “18 Minutes with Sleeping Beauty”

If I was in Cinderella’s shoes, (her work shoes, not the glass ones) I wouldn’t be as sanguine as she is. I would be more of a weepy, depressive and anxiety-ridden Catie. That’s saying something on some days. Her stepmother and stepsisters are the worst! Not only do they take over her house and makeContinue reading “Cinderella and the Subpersonalities”

Today is my last day of vacation. I’m currently trying to figure out if it is cheaper to add a carry-on bag to my flight home tomorrow, or if I should mail some of my clothes and purchases to myself. If I end up mailing, I think I might leave myself a note. Dear FutureContinue reading “On the Stroke of Twelve”

This month I decided to go directly to the source and recreate some of my favorite scenes from Cinderella. I’ve never been a fan of getting my photo taken. It has been an insecurity for as long as I can remember. If a costume and a Disney princess is involved, however, I don’t seem toContinue reading ““Cinderelly, Cinderelly, Night and Day it’s Cinderelly””

I can’t believe it’s the end of the month already (according to my clock I still have 45 minutes until it is June 1, AKA my dad’s birthday)! That means I’ve spent 31 days with Snow White. I never thought I would say such a thing. 31 days of princessly motivation. Did I complete anyContinue reading “Snow White Wrap Up”

What is Snow White’s most depressing moment? Based on the comments I received (thank you to those who commented, by the way) Snow White’s most depressing moment is in the woods. This scene won by one person. To those who think the apple is the most depressing, not to worry, the reasons given for theContinue reading “A Smile and a Song Will Cure You of Depression?”
