I want adventure...

Charlotte Bronte once said, “I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will.”

Often times us princesses get a bad rep of relying on men and our journeys end when we get married. I disagree and want to express to you that you don’t need to live a life chasing after prince charming to be content. We are powerful, daring, hard working and should let no men make us feel incompetent!

I live in a small village in France where people think I am quite unusual because I rather read a book on a Friday night then go get my nails done with my girlfriends. I believe beauty comes from within and you shouldn’t worry so much about outer appearances; wear what you feel comfortable in and don't care what people think--especially men. Don’t get me started on the men here. There’s this douche bag (sorry for the language) named Gaston and I cannot stand him. He is the epitome of the typical close minded man. Get this, his ideal marriage is to have several good looking sons with him, massage his feet, cook his dinner, clean the floors and the worst of it all, no reading because he thinks intelligent women don’t exist! Kill me now!  Below is a conversation I had with him the other day. No joke.

Gaston: How can you read this? There's no pictures!
Me: Well, some people use their imagination.


Why can’t there be decent men around here? Sorry for venting but I think I am going to go back to reading to get my mind off things ;) I will leave you with a list of books I am currently into. Also if you are reading any of them please comment below on your thoughts and reactions to it! Would love to discuss.

Once there was a Princess

Hello world!

This is my very first post! My name is Show White and I am 14 years old. I have multiple nicknames too! One you probably know of is Sneewittchen! I love nicknames but they have to be nice okay? No name calling here! I am a big animal lover and heavily involved in the Nature Conservancy Program. We work super hard to protect ecologically lands and waters for nature and people! Right now, I'm working on a new project with the rainforest animals in Central America. The animals I love focusing my attention on are chipmunks and deer ;) they're so easy to talk to and super helpful! I guess I am going to have to let you in on a little secret...I can talk to animals! It is a special talent of mine that I will dive more into on my other blog entries!

So what is a prince repeller?

-noun

putting oneself in a very offensive outfit that may result in repelling potential suitors. Such pieces of garments and styles would be fluffy tulle ball gowns, glass slippers, bright red headbands and 70 foot long hair.

-verb

Snow White: Are you really going to be attending the party tonight with those glass slippers and arrive in that funky looking pumpkin car?

Cinderella: Yeah, I have no other choice :(

Snow White: Mhm, girl you are going to be prince repelling for sure!


Why start this blog? 

I have a tough time trying to explain my problems and outfits. I always seem to scare off people, especially boys for some reason. I wasn't sure why until my good friend Grumpy suggested a reason. Yeah, his name is Grumpy! He said maybe it was because of the crazy clothes my friends and I wear! I guess we seem a bit scary with our evil "step mom" stories and ball gowns we walk around in. So I made this blog to show my "repelling"outfits and stories. Hopefully my fellow "repellers" can relate.

I also will be collaborating with some of my close friends on here! We will talk about great skin tips, what to wear to parties, marriage/relationship advice and much much more! Okay enough about me and more about what I am wearing in today's blog post!
