Want to learn to Disney Bound as Beauty and the Beast? These tips will help you dress as the perfect Belle (and we've got the inside scoop from the Beauty and the Beast press junket)!Who doesn't LOVE Beauty and the Beast? It's a classic.  I grew up watching the original Disney film, and was over the moon excited when I learned that Disney was remaking Beauty and the Beast as a life action feature film.  Last week, our whole family drove to the Disney animation lot to screen the movie, and the morning after? I got to attend the press junket to end all press junkets……the Beauty and the Beast press morning.  The cast addressed working on a legendary film, we saw a live performance from the amazing Alan Menken, and YES, they discussed the gay character debate.

“So knowing full well that Emma was going to make sure that Belle was somebody who was independent, who was strong, who was educated, who was sticking up for girls and women, and who does all the rescuing in the film. That’s why I knew it was going to be important for me to be a part of and for my kids to see.” -Audra Mcdonald (Madame Garderobe)

As I listened to the amazing cast speak about Beauty in the Beast……one theme repeated itself.  The amazingly strong role models that these characters are for our children.  Many of the members of the cast are parents of young children themselves, and I loved hearing how important it was for THEM as parents to create a film that messaged strong values to their own children.  They shared the need for Belle to rescue herself, the value she puts into books and education, and the importance of looking beyond physical appearance (how else could you fall in love with a beast?).

“In our film she’s actually an activist within her own community. She’s teaching other young girls who are part of the village to read, and you know, moments like that where you could see her expanding beyond just her own little world and trying to kind of grow it, I loved that, and yeah, that was amazing to get to do.” -Emma Watson, Belle

“You know, I talked before about how we translate this into a live act – that means filling out the characters. It’s also a translation to 2017, you know? And what is this movie about? What has this story always been about? For 300 years it’s about looking closer, going deeper, you know, accepting people for who they really are, and in a very Disney way we are including everybody. I think this movie is for everybody, and on the screen you’ll see everybody, and that was important to me, I think to all of us.”- Bill Conden, Director

How to Disney Bound: Beauty and the Beast

What does it mean to Disney Bound? A way to pay tribute to your favorite Disney movies in regular clothes.  A way to dress up without wearing a costume.  If you visit a Disney Park, look around….you'll see guests Disney Bounding everywhere (mostly because adults aren't allowed to wear costumes inside the parks).  The costumes in Beauty and the Beast are stunning.  Every detail from the fabrics to the colors pay homage to the original film….without just copying it.  When Lydia and I were planning our Disney Bound outfits for the film, we actually spent some time debating which of Belle's famous dresses we should wear.  But what can I say? Every girl wants to wear Belle's beautiful golden dress from the scene where she dances around the ballroom with her Beast.

For these Disney inspired outfits, we focused on finding the perfect shade of yellow….then adding in golden accents.  Plus, it was a requirement that we sprinkled in a few roses here and there (isn't Lydia's headband the cutest?)

    I had never heard of Disney Bound before, but now I know! Love your beautiful dresses. My (grown) daughter and I are heading to DisneyWorld for a grown-up trip in September. I am definitely going to keep your tips in mind. It will be fun!

Now, if I’m being totally honest…..this pulled Now, if I’m being totally honest…..this pulled muscle? I should have known better.  When training for my race, I didn’t stretch or warm up enough most days and….here we are.Lesson learned.  I’m 4 weeks post race (do not recommend running a 10k on a pulled muscle) and I’m……almost better.  I’m learning to stretch and walk and to take better care of myself so that I can start running again REALLY soon (we’re almost there I think).For now? I’m doing recovery walks and trying to strengthen my leg.  And trying to make sure I get enough protein.  When I talked about Built Bars on my stories, a LOTTTTT of you raced about their Puffs.  Yup, I get it.  They’re AMAZING.  I’ve been bringing them along on my walks (and gluten free friends….they have some great options for us).Have you ever pulled a muscle? What was recovery like for you?#youGOTTAtrythis #BUILTProtein #BUILT #BUILTbar partner
💕Double Tap when you see who we found at the zo 💕Double Tap when you see who we found at the zoo (and swipe to the end for a close up)⠀⠀🌴Coming to San Diego for Spring Break or a Summer Vacation?⠀⠀📍Let’s talk San Diego Zoo (and yes, I got off a plane yesterday, picked up Lydia and we spent the afternoon at the zoo…..it was LOVELY).⠀⠀A few things to help you plan visits to San Diego and the Zoo:⠀1️⃣ the San Diego Zoo and Safari Park are NOT close together.  The Zoo is close to downtown, the Safari Park is about 25 miles north.  I’d suggest one day at each.  They’re totally unique and both worth a visit.  The Safari Park is smaller, but has REALLY unique exhibits (Walkabout Australia is my favorite).⠀2️⃣ both have some really fun and unique dining experiences that you can reserve in advance: Albert’s at the Zoo is a FANCY and fun sit down option, and The Watering Hole at Kijamii Overlook at the Safari Park is great for happy hour or a fun lunch ⠀3️⃣ there are great kids play areas at both locations, the Wildlife Explorers Base Camp area at the San Diego Zoo is brand new and absolutely amazing⠀⠀✨ Now, a bonus tip.  Undercover Tourist now has NATIONWIDE savings on over 500 attractions in 50 cities and up to 25% on tickets for theme parks, zoo, museums, aquariums, city tours, water parks, and movie tickets. And the deals they have for San Diego?  AMAZING (I’m sharing details in my stories).⠀⠀@themeparkfrog #UncoverSavingsNationwide #ad
In high school, I wasn’t supposed to cross the b In high school, I wasn’t supposed to cross the bridge without permission.⠀⠀I grew up about 20 minutes from San Francisco, on the OTHER side of the Golden Gate Bridge.  Yes, you know that opening scene in Full House where they’re driving across the bridge? I was on the other side of that.  And one of MOST parents’ rules where I grew up? No going into the city without permission.  Sorry mom and dad, it’s been long enough…..now I can disclose that we broke that rule constantly.⠀⠀San Francisco is my favorite city.  It’s intimate and moody and filled with history and some of the best food in the world.  It reminds me of childhood trips to the zoo and Golden Gate Park, it reminds me of my first apartment after college and my first serious relationship.  It reminds me of 22 year old carefree nights with friends and milkshakes at Mels in high school and coffee in North Beach and nights in the Marin Headlands (the closest we were supposed to get to the bridge).⠀⠀So when I had the opportunity to spend 20 hours in my city by the Bay? I took it.⠀⠀Photo Diary:⠀1) nothing like a hotel room to yourself ⠀2) basically drove through a monsoon in San Diego yesterday to make it to the airport⠀3) through the fog? You can see the Golden Gate Bridge⠀4) SFO ⠀5) drove right through North Beach where my mom lived until she was 2, and texted her this photo of a church where she remembers going to weddings as a child⠀6) dinner with Dove, talking about the importance of diversity and representation in gaming avatars ⠀7 and 8) anyone else got a roblox fan in their house? Dove is changing the game (pun intended) and we love to see it.⠀⠀Have you been to San Francisco?
