What's in my... Carry on/Car Bag/Purse

This is the first in my new packing mini series titled "What's in my..." This series will continue through the first day of my vacation in about a week and a half!
This is a list explaining everything I am taking and showing you pictures if you would rather just have a collective list, click here
Are you excited, because i am! :)

This is all of the stuff that I want to have to keep me comfortable and entertained in the car on the way to the beach. This is a lot of stuff, and for some of you it might be too much, but this is what I like to take so I am :)



So this is the bag I am using. It is from Del Sol and it changes color in the Sun!! This is everything I am bringing as well, Watch me fit it all in there! ;)

This is the main pocket, in here I have...
  • A few different magazines, Seventeen, Vogue, that kind of thing
  • A Notebook, because my life would be over without a notebook, and I also have some stationary in the pockets
  • My book, right now I am reading Lord of The Rings! I know... I'm a dork ;)
  • My Kindle, if you have a tablet or smartphone I suggest updating it before you leave so you will have something to do on the ride or flight there
  • My Wallet, with cash and my I.D.
  • Phone, in the pocket of my wallet
  • Shiny Pennies and Quarters, for the penny squishers! (I will explain later...)
  • DVD case, we have a mini DVD player in our car
  • Earbuds
  • Extra Batteries for my camera, you can see them tucked down in there under the earbuds
  • Camera, becuase I would die without it!!
  • My Sunglasses will be floating around somewhere...
  • Chewing Gum
  • Travel Makeup Bag
  • Pencil Case

This is my Pencil Case, I use this for pencils and that kind of thing, but also for all of my smaller electronics that i don't want just floating around in my bag, in here I have...
  • A Travel Notebook, I got this on the Outer Banks last year, you can use it to record all of your vacation memories
  • Pens and Pencils
  • Lead and a Pencil Sharpener
  • Tape, because i could fix the world with tape...
  • Scissors, a lot of beauty gurus bring small scissors in their makeup bags, but I would rather have full size ones in here
  • My Penny Book. You know those penny squishers they have at memorials and theme parks? I collect those :) 
  • My Nintendo DS and Nintendo DS Games, because I get bored easily :)
  • Booklight
  • An Extra SD Card for my camera
There are a few random things that I just like to have, that don't necessarily fit into my bag, or that has been packed somewhere else. 
Those Things Are...
  • Two Blankets, Because someone always ends up using the other one
  • Two Pillows, Because I am weird and have special pillows I want to have with me ;)
  • Snacks and Drinks, so you won't have to stop as often, but can stay full and hydrated

And that is it!! I hope you all enjoyed this post, look forword to more like this for the next week! 
:) <3 (:

What's in my... Toiletry Roll

I would just like to let you all know that I am packing for a twelve day trip, so for some of you this might not be enough, for some it may be to much. It all depends on personal preference and this is what I have found works for me! I would also like you to know that we are going to be driving everywhere on this vacation, so to an extent I don't have to worry about how much I pack or the sizes of my products. This is my Toiletry Roll  that I hang on the back of the door in the bathroom wherever we are staying. I am going to go through pocket by pocket and show you what I am bringing. In the Top Pocket I have mostly random things. I have Band-aids for small cuts and blisters Q-Tips Safety Pins, in case a strap breaks or something And the brown thing on the left side is a bra clip for razor back tank tops In the Second Pocket  I have skincare things Hawaiian Tropic Clear Sense Sunscreen SPF 4 Travel pack of equate Makeup Remover Wipes And in...

Beach Bags

Ok so new update on how to pack a beach bag. But Warning before hand! The way my family packs for the beach it takes three regular sized people and a seven year old to carr y! I'm going to beak this down into the separate bags that we carry. My Bag My personal Sunscreen, such as your facial sunscreen. This would also be the category for tanning lotions and oils. Two towels. One to lay on or put in your chair, and one to wrap up in or wipe out your eyes. My beach mat! It is straw with pink edges it rolls up perfectly and fits in my bag. I got mine at Target but IDK if they still sell them or not, try  www.windycitynovelties.com/straw-beach-mats Plastic Bags or Sandwich bags to put pretty seashells in! A Book or a Magazine, or both!  The Christy Miller Series , like I've suggested at the bottom of the page,  by Robin Jones Gunn is a good beach read mainly because they take place on a beach! A Camera, this is my absolute best friend...

Best Beach Ever!

So... I am debating on if I should even share this with you because it is so amazing! This is the most absolutely amazing beach I have ever been to in my life! It is Emerald Isle NC it is perfect!  So in my mind it is so perfect because: It is on the beautiful coast of North Carolina (which is where I live, and where I love!) It's name is Emerald ISLE so its on a cute little island (Duh!), at some places o the island you can see the Bogue Sound (yes this is a body of water, and yes this is a real place) and the Atlantic Ocean on the other It is a quite little town so everyone if friendly, and the beaches are never crowded There is a nice little aquarium just up the island a bit The is a little shopping center called Emerald Plantations that includes a movie theater , restaurants, shops, and a river where you can feed Sea Turtles (this is especially fun because there's one that is bigger than my six year old brother! It lives at the bottom and only comes up occasiona...
