Outer Banks 2013: Day 5, Tuesday June 11th

9:00 AM
Just woke up :) I am learning to sleep straight through my brother waking up at ungodly times ;) We made a run to Food Lion again last night to get some more of the Blueberry Cream Cheese muffins for Breakfast, so I had one of those. I think I am in love! They are just amazing :)
The more I look the more places I find on me that are sunburned! We decided to spend the day off of the beach today, so maybe it will feel better by tomorrow :)

10:10 AM
I know I don't usually do favorites posts or anything, so can I add a small one into here? It is the L'oreal Magic Skin BB Cream. 
I had never really fallen into the BB Cream craze because I have oily skin and it just sounded like a tinted moisturizer. My mom bought this one and I just decided to try it, I love it! It has a very matte finish, so it is perfect for me :) My only issue with it is that my mom got the medium shade and I think it might be a little dark/orange-y on me. But either way, it is a great product :)
Now that that little rave is over, we are on our way to the Pine Knoll Shores Aquarium! :)


1:10 PM
Just got out of the Aquarium! I love that place :) All of the fish just look so pretty :)


Otters are my favorite :)




Something left a trail...

NC's official bird -_-





My favorite animal at the aquarium :) This poor little turtle has to many problems to count!

Elijah taking care of his turtle :)

And now we are off to Dairy Queen for lunch! That is one of the higjlights of coming to Emerald Isle, because we don't have one at home and we love it! :)

2:45 PM
Just got out of Dairy Queen! I had a Chicken wrap with fries, and for desert I had a s'mores blizzard.  

Ohhhhhhhh my gosh guys, it was so good!! It had gram crackers and pieces of marshmallow filled chocolates. I want another one this week definitely :) We just crossed over to the mainland, getting ready to go bowling at Mac Daddy's! :)

4:00 PM
Just finished bowling! 



...and I came in dead last

...and fell on my butt. I blame these ugly shoes!
Now we are headed to the Emerald Plantation Shopping center! :)

7:00 PM
Just left Emerald Plantation! They have a lot of cute stores, that aren't neccesarly chain stores. One of my favorite ones to go to is the Country Store, because it has rows and rows of tacky beach junk ;) But I did buy stuff there, so apparently I like tacky beach junk! :) They also have a combination Candy Store and Toy Store, so I got some candy :) They are one of the candy stores that have bins of the "old" candy, and I always like those :) Now we are on our way to go eat at Port of Call! :)

8:30 PM
Just finished dinner! :) I had "Burried Treasure" which is just potato wedges with cheese, bacon, and onions :)
They were good, but I got full quick! :) I really liked that we got to sit beside the window and watch the sun set while we ate, which was pretty :)
Now we are on our way to play putt-putt golf again!

10:15 PM
Just finished playing at the Lighthouse, which was a lot of fun :)
I am the only one out of my family who has yet to get a hole in one... I need to work on that ;)

1:00 AM
Wow... this is the latest I've stayed up in a while! Once again, I got caught up in reading :) Well I think I am going to keep tonight's farewell short and simple, because I am tired! Goodnight everyone, love you all :)

Sunburn Relief

Even when you wear sunscreen, sometimes the inevitable happens and you get the dreaded sunburn... So what should you do? I have a few suggestions of the best way to be as comfortable as possible while you recover! 1.) Pain Reliever First things first, as soon as you discover your sunburn head to the medicine cabinet and take an over-the-counter pain reliever such as Ibuprofen or Advil. These are anti-inflammatory medications which will help to reduce swelling and pressure from the sunburn, which will relive  some of the pain. 2.) Hydrate The second most helpful thing you can possibly do is drink water! The sun has sucked all of the moisture from your skin, and it is literally  begging for you to replenish it. Try to drink just water, since it is better for you and more hydrating than juice or sodas. 3.) Take a Bath Try to limit yourself to no more that 30 minutes, but that thirty minutes can do wonders for your...
