Disney World Adventures - What You Need To Know Part 1

As you may know (if you follow me on Instagram), about a month ago, my husband and I went to Disney World !!!!! Best decision in terms of a vacation spot and it was loads of fun! There are so many things to discover and unfold while at Disney World. I have so many tips and tricks, and opinions to share! This might be a very lengthy post but I definitely want to provide my opinion on different aspects of the trip. This is Part 1 of  2 blog posts.

Best Time of Year to Visit Disney World (Orlando, Florida)
We booked our vacation in January for the lower cost, comfortable weather and given that it was off-peak season. Best decision! Weather was great - we had sun everyday with no rain! We wanted to avoid the very hot, sticky summer days waiting in line. Transportation, the crowds and line-ups were all short and very decent.

The other time that I would recommend travelling to Disney World, is going the first week after school starts (which is after the Labour Day long weekend in the United States). I was told by staff there, that there are no line ups (in fact, ride operators ask if you want to go on the ride again!) and the weather is very warm but not hot.

Where We Stayed At
We both went to Disney World when we were younger with our families. But this time around, we wanted to get the 'true' Disney experience for a whole week! This obviously meant staying on a Disney resort. We stayed at the Disney's All Stars Music resort. We were looking for the cheapest option as we knew that we would only be using the hotel room for sleeping and taking a shower. Believe it or not, that's exactly what we did! When we left our room early in the morning, we did not get back until late at night. For the price we paid, it was worth the deal! It had all the conveniences we needed. We even had a fridge!

Magic Bands
Disney recently came out with this technology that tracks everything related to your stay. Best thing ever! You literally don't need to carry anything around with you when you have your Magic Band! It's your hotel room key, your ticket to get into the park and your credit card for purchases. It even tracks your Fast Pass and dining reservations as well. I definitely recommend this! If you book ahead of time, you can even customize your Magic Band - so cool!

Best Fast Pass Selections to Make - In My Opinion
One advantage of the theme parks is that you can reserve Fast Pass times. Fast Pass is basically allows you to reserve a time slot for a ride that you can select before attending the theme park. The advantage to this is that the wait time is significantly less than the 'normal' wait time. I highly recommend that you download the My Disney Experience app and use this to track ride times as well as you can manage your Fast Pass selections. If you need to change a ride or time slot you can easily do so through the app.

The disadvantage is that you can only pre-book up to three Fast Pass selections per day. However, after you've exhausted all of your Fast Pass selections, you can still line up at a Fast Pass kiosk located around each park to select another ride and time, but you can only get one Fast Pass at a time using this method. My advice is to go on very popular rides as soon as the park opens and ride them until about noon. For popular rides that you don't have a chance to ride in the morning, book your Fast Pass selections for after lunch when it gets really busy in the parks. After dinner, line ups tend to shorten so you can use that opportunity to go back on a favourite ride, or catch that one you haven't went on yet. You can always use the My Disney Experience app to gauge time.

Another tip, ride the most popular rides as soon as you enter the park as many times as you can. Then, reserve a Fast Past time after lunch and ride again!

Okay enough talking! My recommendations for Fast Pass selections by park are:
Magic Kingdom - Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin, Peter Pan's Flight, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train (Very popular! Definitely get a Fast Pass for this one!),  and Space Mountain. Attractions that you should visit first thing in the morning or late in the evening are Haunted Mansion, It's a Small World, Jungle Cruise, Mickey's PhilharMagic, Monsters Inc Laugh Floor, Pirates of the Caribbean, Stich's Great Escape, Tomorrowland Speedway and Under The Seas - Journey of the Little Mermaid.

Splash Mountain was closed while I was there. My favourite rides at Magic Kingdom were Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Peter Pan's Flight, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Space Mountain, Haunted Mansion, and Mickey's PhilharMagic.

You could easily use two days to explore Magic Kingdom as it is massive and there is simply too much to see!

Animal Kingdom - Dinosaur, Expedition Everest, Kali Rapids and Kilimanjaro Safaris. Attractions that you should visit first thing in the morning or late in the evening are the animal exhibits and trails, It's Tough To Be a Bug, Festival of the Lion King, Finding Nemo - The Musical and Flights of Wonder.

My favourites were Dinosaur (I rode it twice! It was so good!), Kilimanjaro Safaris and Finding Nemo.

Hollywood Studios - Rock n Roller Coaster, Star Tours - The Adventure Continues, Toy Story Midway Mania! (Fast Pass this for sure! There are never any short wait times for this ride) and The Twilight Zone - Tower of Terror. Attractions that you should visit first thing in the morning or late in the evening are The Great Movie Ride, Muppet Vision 3D, Beauty and the Beast - Live on Stage, Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular, Lights, Motors, Actions and Voyage of the Little Mermaid.

My favourites were Toy Story Midway Mania!, The Great Movie Ride, Beauty and Beast - Live on Stage, Indiana Jones and the Lights, Motors, Actions show.

Epcot - Mission Space, Soarin, Spaceship Earth and Test Track (awesome ride!).  Attractions that you should visit first thing in the morning or late in the evening are Turtle Talk with Crush, The Seas with Nemo & Friends, Living with the Land, Ellen's Energy Adventure and the world showcases and their exhibits.

My favourites were Soarin, Spaceship Earth, Test Track, Living with the Land and the world showcases.

Parades and Firework Displays You Must See
Magic Kingdom - Celebrate the Magic, Wishes Nighttime Spectacular, Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade, Magic Kingdom Welcome Show and Main Street Electrical Parade. If you only have time for one, I would recommend watching the Celebrate the Magic and Wishes Nighttime Spectacular shows. Words cannot explain how magical these displays are! So glad I stayed to watch these!

Animal Kingdom - There were no parades or fireworks that we watched at this park.

Hollywood Studios - Fantasmic! - You definitely have to check this one out! If you can, try to be there at least an hour or an hour and a half before seating starts. We went about 45 minutes before, but couldn't get a seat so we had to stand (And this was during their off peak season).

Epcot - IllumiNations - Love this display! Make sure you pick out a spot about an hour to 45 minutes prior to the show. Try to stay as close to the entrance of the park as possible, as when the fireworks display is over, it's easier to just avoid the crowds to the buses.

Souvenirs
I bought a couple of things but I didn't go all out with shopping since I think pictures and memories are the best souvenirs! I got a wonderful pair of sparkly Minnie ears that I wore everyday to the parks. I was in need of a oven mitt and apron, so I opted for getting ones that are Disney. We also bought a 1000 piece Disney puzzle with artwork by Thomas Kinkade to challenge ourselves. My husband and I were so inspired by Walt Disney's dream and passion, that we ended up buying his autobiography and a FAQ book on Disney and the theme parks. I'm reading the autobiography right now and it is definitely amazing!

There are so many things to shop for at Disney that it can be very hard to choose what you want. They got everything from Christmas ornaments and decor, to makeup, jewelry, kitchen gadgets, tech accessories, food items - you name it and they got it! You can pretty much Disney-fy anything!

The other great thing about staying on Disney resort is that when you purchase an item, you can get it delivered to your room for free! That way you don't need to carry it around with you everywhere you go.

What To Pack Before Hand
Since it can rain at any moment's notice, I would highly recommend buying some ponchos at your local Dollar Store. Disney's ponchos can run you a bill of up to $20! I also packed an umbrella just in case.

Definitely pack a pair of comfortable shoes for lots of walking! You could always pack another pair to switch out of. It's guaranteed that you will do plenty of walking. It's also nice to get a pedometer to track your steps. I have an app on my phone that was able to track. We did the following steps each day:

Downtown Disney - 17582
Magic Kingdom - 23512
Animal Kingdom - 19575
Hollywood Studios - 16078
Epcot - 23872

Ladies, take a small cross body bag for when your walking around the park. It's easiest to sling over your shoulder and be on your way.

Taking a backpack is also a good idea since its easy to carry around the park. I could also recommend packing some wet ones and tissue just in case.

A warm sweater in case you're going in the colder months.

I can talk a lot more about Disney World and the adventures I had! If I did, we'd be here all day! Stay tuned for Part 2, where I'll talk specifically about the food at Disney World. If there is anything I didn't touch upon that you would like to know about, please let me know in the comments below! I'd be happy to share my recommendations with you!

Oscar Nominated Movies That I've Watched

The Oscar's are only a few days away and I'm super excited! I love to watch movies but I especially love to watch Oscar nominated movies to guess the winners and losers! I wish I had the chance to watch all of the films nominated for Best Picture. Instead I only got down to watching a few. Today I'm talking about what I've watched and what I thought.

Imitation Game
This is a movie that has really opened up my eyes to world history. It's about the gifted mathematician Alan Turing and his mission to crack the Enigma Code - the highly intricate Nazi code, used to communicate throughout World War Two. As the war goes on and many lives are lost, Alan and his team desperately try everyday to break the code, until Alan creates a machine that would change everything. The movie also depicts Alan's journey through homosexuality at a time when it wasn't accepted. I loved this movie and highly recommend it!

The Theory of Everything
A movie that has really educated me about a major contributor to the world of science - Stephen Hawking. I have to admit that before watching this movie, I have heard of his name but didn't know exactly what he was famous for. The film goes through the life of Hawking from his days at University where he meets Jane, the love of his life, to his diagnosis, discoveries and personal ups and downs. Very real, superb acting and fascinating!

Interstellar
I was really excited to watch this one as it looked similar in theme to Gravity, which I loved! It's much more complicated than that. Due to deteriorating conditions on Earth, the crops are slowly becoming extinct with not enough food to feed the human race. Scientists and astronauts, played by Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway, travel through space to discover either how they can save the human race on earth or repopulate humanity on another planet. It wasn't my favourite film and I was very confused throughout. Nevertheless, it was an interesting concept to explore.

Birdman
In this black comedy, Michael Keaton plays the role of Riggan Thompson. Riggan started out his career by playing the ever so famous Birdman comic superhero. Due to the huge success that Birdman evolved into, Riggan, the actor is forgotten. Later on in his career, to reclaim the attention he desired as an actor in Birdman, he decides to wear multiple hats by producing, writing, and playing in a Broadway musical. The film explores his mental thought process, family life, love life and personal decisions. It's definitely a different movie. I thought it was highly entertaining to watch the film being shot in what looked like one continuous take.

Wild
I read the book and loved it! Very inspiring and uplifting to the soul! The movie was just as great! It's very true to the book. Wild is about Cheryl Strayed who goes through a divorce, her mother passing away and ends up in a relationship with drugs, and ultimately decides to leave everything behind to hike the Pacific Crest Trail. She has no experience in this area but she decides to go along for the journey. Along the way she discovers herself and many aspects of her life. In the end, she turns around her life and starts from a new beginning.

Big Hero 6
It's a Disney movie, so of course I had to watch it, plus it's nominated for Best Animated Film. Loved the creativity of Sanfransokyo! I thought it was interesting that they played on many major emotions such as loss and grief. Hiro, a robotics genius, enters a contest to earn a scholarship at the top robotics institute in the city, for which his older brother, Tadashi, attends. His entry consisted of thousands of tiny robots that are controlled with the mind, which wows the crowd and ultimately grants him his scholarship. An accident at the venue results in Tadashi's death, leaving Hiro to deal with the loss of his brother. He is helped in this difficult time by his brother's final invention - a personal care robot called Baymax. Buckle up, because this is a real emotional roller-coaster!

How To Train Your Dragon 2
I loved the first movie and loved this one even better! In this sequel, we are introduced to Hiccup's mother, who he thought was dead. Together with his father, they try to overthrow Drago Bludvist, who has been capturing the dragons to create an army. Very entertaining, creative, funny and appealing to all audiences! I highly recommend watching this one.

Boxtrolls
I wasn't too keen on watching this one but decided to as there wasn't much option at the time. We learn of a boy who ends up living with the Boxtrolls due to unforeseen circumstances. He learns to live his life the way the Boxtrolls do. However, one day he is discovered living with the Boxtrolls by the humans. The humans and Boxtrolls aren't friends as the Boxtrolls are believed to eat human beings. The boy ends up showing the humans that Boxtrolls are indeed the most kind, loving and caring creatures to live.

Menu Planning

Menu planning can be such a bore and also a really big pain! Sometimes its like a chore but after I'm done, I'm so glad that I did! Many of you may have resolutions to eat better, save money on groceries or just plan your week in advance on what to eat so you're not stressing. Whatever your goal is, I hope I can share my tips and tricks on what I do for menu planning to make it quick, fun and easy!

Some of the benefits that I have found by menu planning are:

-I buy what I need - not more, not less. This helps me to save money by not overspending.

-By planning what meals I'm going to prepare for dinner, it saves me the stress of thinking, "What should I cook tonight?" Instead, I can go home and get started on dinner right away!

-I personally think meals made at home are healthier and they save you money in the long run!
-It helps with maintaining healthy eating habits
-Encourages you to try new recipes and improve on your cooking skills

Here's how I menu plan:
-Every Thursday my husband and I sit down and think of dishes we would like to eat for the upcoming week. We write down our ideas and include what day of the week we want to eat a specific dish. Of course if you menu plan, you can always switch up what you cook on what day since you already have all the ingredients on hand.
-To make it seem as if our entire evening is not spent menu planning, we do this on commercial breaks in between watching Scandal!
-We get our ideas from cook books, recipes online and bookmarks on my iPad. If I cook something we really like I take a picture of it. That way, when menu planning, I can look back at my phone and pick something to make.
-After we decide what recipes we're going to make, we make a grocery list based on this. I divide my grocery list by fruits and vegetables, meat, diary and packaged items. The categories are completely customized. Do what works for you!
-We go through each recipe and write down the ingredients we need.
-Next, we take a visit to the fridge and pantry and decide what items are expired and need replenishing. We decide on breakfast items, our green juice ingredients and snack items. That's pretty much what our grocery list consist of.
-If I have the opportunity to price match I will take a look at the grocery flyers and see what I can take advantage of. I won't lie in saying that most of the time I skip this step because of time. But I definitely encourage it!
-Another tip: if I run out of a specific item during the week, then I keep a running list on the fridge. That way when I am making my grocery list I can remember what that item is.

That's it! If this has been a really big stress point in your life, I hope these tips can offer a little relief!

Do you have any tips for menu planning?

DIY Lollipop Bouquet

As a follow up to my previous post on the DIY candy bouquet, I thought I would share my DIY lollipop bouquet. Another great idea for a homemade gift on Valentine`s Day! Similar to the candy bouquet, this gift can be used for birthdays, anniversaries, thank you, get well soon, retirement, just thinking of you, bridal/baby shower etc. There is no limit! If the person loves lollipops specifically, this would be a great gift for them!

Materials you will need:

• Lots of lollipops! It helps to find out what kind of lollipops or brand the person likes. My favourite are Chupa Chups!
• A mug, vase or container for the bottom. I used a mug as it doubles as vase but the person can also use it as well. Pick something you know the person might like. If they like ice cream, maybe use an ice cream glass. If they like gardening, maybe a watering can?! Think outside the box!
• Styrofoam
• Cellophane
• Ribbon

Steps:

1. Cut your Styrofoam to fit inside your base. I found that using a sphere shaped Styrofoam helped as you want to create a dome shape with the lollipops. If you have another shape of Styrofoam simply shape it to a dome. 

2. Start inserting your lollipops into the Styrofoam along the bottom edges. Go all around until you've created the first layer. Be sure to place your lollipops close enough that the Styrofoam does not show.

3. Next, start placing the lollipops in another layer above the bottom layer you've created. Keep placing lollipops in layers until the Styrofoam is completely covered. If there are any gaps fill those in with any remaining lollipops. Remember, you don't want the Styrofoam to show.

4. Wrap in cellophane and tie with ribbon. You can attach stickers, tags, bows, anything that you like to make it unique!

You're done! It's very simple and easy. You also don't need a whole lot of materials to recreate this DIY.

Try it out and let me know!

DIY Candy Bouquet

With all things Valentine's, I thought I would share my DIY candy bouquet that can be the perfect gift for that special someone in your life! This is a gift that could not only be used for Valentine's Day, but for many other occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, congratulations, get well soon, just thinking of you, farewell and retirement to name a few. As long as the person loves candy, you can't go wrong! Plus, it can't hurt to gift something made by you!

The materials you will need:

• Lots of candy! Get at least four large boxes of candy to make the base. You're not just limited to candy. You could use anything the person likes (chocolate, tea, gummies, gum, etc.). Be creative!
• Wooden sticks. Try to get the kind that have a pointy side on one end. 
• Hot glue gun
• Styrofoam
• Wrapping/tissue paper
• Ribbon

Let's get started!

1. Assemble your four largest boxes of candy to form a rectangle. This will be your vase for the candy bouquet. Apply hot glue on the sides of the boxes to stick.

2. Get a smaller pack of candy to glue on the bottom of your vase. This will make sure that whatever you put inside will not fall out. I used a pack of gum and found that this was the perfect size for the bottom.

3. Cut your piece of Styrofoam to fit inside of the vase. I bought a sphere and cut mine into a quarter of the original size. This size fit perfectly inside of the vase. When you're happy with the size push the Styrofoam inside the vase all the way to the bottom.

4. Apply hot glue on the back of your candy and place a wooden stick on each candy with the pointy end of the stick on the bottom. These will form the candy 'flowers' for the bouquet. There is no perfect number on how many you should include. Play around and do as many or as little as you would like. Let the glue completely dry.

5. When the glue has dried completely, insert your wooden sticks with the candy into the Styrofoam. This is where having a pointy end of the stick makes things a whole lot easier! Play around with how you want the bouquet to look like. You can always rearrange if you are not happy with how it looks. It might take a few tries to make it look perfect!

6. Take a piece of wrapping paper or tissue paper and stuff this on top of the Styrofoam in between the sticks. This will hide the Styrofoam as well as keep the sticks secure. Put as much or as little as you would like.

7. You can attach a piece of ribbon or any other decorative piece such as tags, sticks, pictures etc. Make it look unique!

As you can see I also add Fun Dip. Instead of attaching this to a wooden stick I inserted it in between the sticks to hold. It was a little too large to be supported by the sticks. However, the person I made this for loves Fun Dip and I had to include it!

You're done! You can wrap it in clear cellophane if you would like or simply leave it as is! Super fun, super easy and very tasty! You can't go wrong with gifting a candy bouquet! Stay tuned on the blog as I got another exciting DIY candy gift coming up!

Have fun!

January Favourites!

Where did the time go and how is it February already!? Hope everyone is staying warm and safe. At least where I am, we have a major winter storm. Can't go anywhere... so it's the perfect time to work on the blog today! Today I bring you... my January favourites!

Body
This month's favourite is The Body Shop's Body Butter in in Shea Butter. I got this as a gift from my co-worker (she's so nice!). I don't really try a lot of The Body Shop's products but loved this body butter! Its really good for the cold, dry winter months we have up here in Canada as it is very moisturizing. One application of this body butter and you are good to go! I would definitely purchase this as well as try other products and scents as well.

My other favourite is the Bath and Body Works hand soap in Black Cherry Merlot. I bought this awhile back in the Fall months. At the time, I never heard of the scent or tried it. So I decided to give it a try and it was well worth the impulse decision! It smells sooooo good! To me, it smells like the cherry Kool-Aid mix (or I could just be crazy!). It doesn't actually smell like wine but more of a sweet scent. Since I've tried this I'm totally going to try other products in this scent. It is such an underrated scent and it definitely does not get enough praise. My verdict, go buy it!

Makeup

If you follow my blog you'll know that I recently purchased the Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in Blushing Bride. I absolutely love this blush! I've been wearing it every day since! Its pigmented, which is good for me since I feel as if blush doesn't exactly show up on my skin tone very easily. It's also long lasting. While I haven't tested out the 12 hour claim on the product, I know it lasts a work day for me. I wonder why I hadn't tried this product sooner!? Yet again, another Tarte product does not cease to amaze me. I would be more than okay to purchase some other shades in their blush collection.

I also recently purchased Revlon's Colourburst Matte Balm in the shade Sultry. I purchased it on Essie Button's recommendation of one of the best makeup products for 2014. I love it! I'm a sucker and loyal fan of MAC Cosmetics lipstick. So I haven't really ventured into the world of tinted lip balm. I can safely say this was probably my first purchase. There are many shades and colours available to choose from. I went with a very neutral, skin toned colour. It's easy to use, glides on great and it smells like mint! You might have to re-apply throughout the day but for the cost (which was very minimal) you can't go wrong with this purchase! There is also a lot of product in one tube so it will probably last you a long time. My favourite way to wear this is with a light purple lip liner where I only fill in the corners of my lips. The rest if filled in with Sultry! 

Fashion

I have been loving my new 'anchor' portofino top that I got as a gift for Christmas! This top is from Express. Funny thing is, I was looking at this shirt for the longest time to buy from Express. It so happens that my family got it for me (I think they know me way to well!). I love the style of the portofino top. I will pretty much love any design of the portofino top that you throw at me. However, I love this particular design for it's deep blue colour and the white anchors. I love to be on water and absolutely love to sail (cruising is my all time favourite vacation to go on). The design reminds of all the fun times I've had cruising and all those hours at the lake fishing and spending time with family. I think it's a pretty good combo to wear during these cold months. It gives me something nice and warm to look forward to!

Book

Many of you know that I came back from a trip to Disney World a little over a week ago. It was amazing! What was also amazing, were the Harry Potter theme parks at Universal Studios! I've always been a HUGE Harry Potter fan since the book came out (I was about 10 years old then). I've been a dedicated reader since. I will do a post on the Harry Potter theme parks sometime soon. But it was simply amazing, incredible and just jaw dropping! Anyways the point is that I fell in love with Harry Potter on a whole new level! When I returned from my trip I just had to start re-reading the books again. I'm only on the first one so far, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. However, re-reading this series is kind of eye opening in the sense that there are so many little details that I missed while reading it the first two times!

TV Show

By far it's Downton Abbey! I was a bit hesitant deciding to watch this TV drama as I didn't think I would get into the whole early 1900s era. I was totally wrong! It's sooo good, even my husband likes it! You can check out what other TV shows I've been watching on this post. Currently I'm on Season 3, so I still have a lot of catching up to do. It's also very addicting! I have to tell myself to stick to watching only one episode at a time but it's very hard. The characters, plot, lifestyle, and drama is well written and carried out well on screen. It makes me want to go back to this time period and experience it all!

Place

How could I forget my time spent at Disney World! It was a really good trip, with lots of walking. I went with my husband and we saw and did everything we wanted! I will do a detailed post of Disney World and different aspects of the park. However, if I had to choose the one thing that I absolutely loved the most, it would have to be the Dole Whip Float! It's basically pineapple juice with your choice of vanilla, pineapple or orange soft serve on top. It's the most simple/basic thing but it's about the best thing man has ever created! In the picture below I got pineapple and orange soft serve. It was so good I've been day dreaming and actually dreaming of this ever since I got back! If anyone is from Ontario and knows where I can find a similar product, let me know!

And that's it! What have been your favourites for January?

TV Shows I've Been Watching

It's been awhile everyone! I actually went away on vacation to Disney World (hence lack of presence on the blog and Instagram)! I do plan on doing a pretty detailed post of our travels and adventures at Disney World soon. But in the meantime I thought I would share with you this post on TV shows I've been watching!

I've been watching some new TV shows as well as finishing some seasons on others. I thought I would share what those are and write a mini review on what I think so far.
 

Suits
I've been watching this for a few months but I can finally say that I am all caught up! I really like Suits because of all its cutthroat action. It's also very interesting to learn about the inner workings of the corporate law world. Essentially, if you haven't watch this show yet, it's about a character named Mike who claims he is a law school graduate from Harvard, when he never went to law school. He ends up working for one of the biggest law firms in New York City. However, his lie catches up to him and presents him with many obstacles along the way. I also enjoy all of the swanky wardrobe pieces that the female actors wear. My favourite characters are Louis, Mike, Harvey and Donna.

How To Get Away With Murder
I'm a definite lover of the show Scandal by Shonda Rhimes. After all the hype of How To Get Away With Murder, I had to watch it! Plus its made by the same producer, so I knew it would be good and boy it did not disappoint! There is only half of season one that has shown so far but it has definitely been good! It's full of twists, unexpected turns and moments where you're saying 'what just happened....". I'm looking forward to it starting again at the end of January.

Downton Abbey
Since I watched all of the TV shows on my list, I had to find something new to watch. I've heard great things about Downtown Abbey and thought I would give it a shot. I don't normally watch shows dating back to the 1900s but I do like this era. I've only watched until the end of season two and there are a total of five seasons. It's really good! I didn't think there was so much drama during this time period! I like the overall feel of the show, the era, the characters, the clothing, the way of life they lived. It's so interesting and I've learned a lot! My favourite character is the Countess.

What are your favourite TV shows? What would you recommend?
