Outer Banks 2013: Day 9, Saturday June 15th

6:00 AM
We woke up early this morning so me and mom could walk down to the beach and watch the sunrise :)

7:00 AM
Just got back :) we found a lot of really pretty seashells and watched the sunrise behind buildings/over the water ;) 

Now we are getting ready to leave and finishing up our repacking. I got most of my stuff packed up last night, but I have a few things left. I just had breakfast, a Krispy Kreme Doughnut again :)

9:00 AM
Finished packing any getting ready, we just loaded the car, and we are now ready to go! We are on our way up the Outer Banks today, but first we are going to stop off at Emerald Plantation again :)

11:00 AM
We just left Emerald Plantation, and now we are on our way off the Island :( We are heading up the coast to the Roanoke Aquarium, and then on over the Kill Devil Hills to stay a few nights!

4:00 PM
Well instead of going straight to Kill Devil Hills, we ended up stopping at a shopping center in Morehead city... Which kind of messes up our plans to go to the Aquarium today, but who cares! I got to go shopping :) We went to Ross and TJ-Maxx, and then I found an Ulta and I used the rest of an old gift card, and of course we had to hit up a Walmart while we were there! ;) We let my little brother pick where to have lunch, so we ended up at a McDonalds -_-

7:00 PM
At this moment we are driving throught Kill Devil Hills and Nags head looking for our hotel, and I am hungry! ;) I have read and slept for four hours and I am ready to get out of this car and do something! :)

9:00 PM
We ended up eating at Applebees, which was good :) Me and mom shared a three way sampler platter. It had Spinach Dip, Quezon Dip, and Cheeseburger Sliders. This is the first night that we ordered a dessert and ohhhhh my gosh! It was so good! It was Cheesecake filled fried tortillas that had been rolled in cinnamon sugar, and served with cooked apple and ice cream... We ordered it to share but I could have eaten the whole thing by myself!!

11:00 PM
We are back at our hotel and we are all tukered out! The hotel is nice, just a basic hotel room :) well I think I am going to bed... 'night guys! :)

My Petal Club

A new box!  And a PERIOD subscription box at that!  I love finding new boxes to try out, especially when they are this affordable!  This box is normally $6.99 per month, but if you use the discount code "SUMMER" on mypetalclub.com , this box will be only $3.50!  And let's be honest, one box of pads/tampons is usually more expensive than that, so why not give it a try?? So this box primarily consists of just the period products with very few extras.  This isn't one of the present, feel-good kind of boxes, it just provides you with the necessary products to get through the month, at an affordable price. Step One The first thing you do on their website is choose the combination of products you will need.  Be warned, you aren't given as much of a selection if you order through Cratejoy like I did.  It worked totally fine and I still got the products I needed, but I like choice!  So I suggest going straight through their website....

My Summer in a Nutshell...

So I know I have been in and out throughout July, and then completely off the face of the Earth for August... Forgive me guys? I knew you would :) In some ways I thought you might need an explanation for where I have been, so here is it! July... So for the first two weeks of July I was recovering from a June (beach and packing the first two weeks, You saw all of this remember? :)  work and Bible School the last two), This was part of our Bile School castle, it was so cool! :)   doing Summer work (sort of not really ;), and working with the children's Librarian which was amazing! :)  We made Dirt Babies!! Aren't they cute??? The next week was consumed by church camp, which I can honestly say was one of the best weeks of my life! We had services every morning and night, and were part of a huge youth choir. It was a wonderful experience to bond with new people, and get closer to the Lord :) Our group was the second bigge...

"Safe Tanning"

Ok... we all know that there is technically no such thing as "Safe Tanning", but there are ways to tan that are safer than others. Here are some tips that will help you get an amazing (and slightly more safe) tan this summer. 1. Exfoliate The key for an amazing tan is to exfoliate your skin! If you don't exfoliate, your tan will end up patchy, you will peel, and will altogether be a very unattractive situation... Try to exfoliate every other day or at least once a week while you are on vacation, and use a hardcore intense exfoliator before you leave and after you get home. And don't forget your lips and face! But remember, to exfoliate your lips and face you will need to find a exfoliator made specifically for each of those areas. 2. Put sun protection Put sunscreen on at least 30 minutes before you head to sun tanning. Some people say at least a minimum af 30 SPF, but personally I use 15. As silly as this sounds, pay attention and read your ...
