Back into the Swing of Things :)

Well June was a busy and fun filled month :)

Don't you agree?

Since about halfway through May I have been posting all about packing and my trip to the beach, this past week or two I have even been posting every day! Well I am about ready to get back to normal, aren't you?

Last week our church had Bible school every evening. I have been working with our counties Children's Librarian almost every morning through the past two weeks, and I will be continuing through next week. I am going to be leaving for a church camp in about 11 days. I will get back from camp on the 19th, and my little brothers birthday party is the 20th. On the 22nd I am leaving for the beach with my friend, and we will get back on the 27th. After that I will be heading over to Pigeon Forge a few times before school starts on August 17th. And then Summer is over! Isn't that something to think about...

Needless to say I have some pre-written posts for the rest of this month, which is why I might seem distant or detached. I am very sorry about that though! If you need to get in touch with me for any reason at all feel free to e-mail me at allenfamilyvacationplans@gmail.com and I will get back to you as quickly as possible!

I will try to put up a few more Summer Days Blog posts before school starts back, but if I had to bet, you all are tired of hearing about my life for a while. And I don't blame you! :)

We will get back into the swing of things with a "Homemade Beauty" post on Friday. But in the mean time, have a happy and safe 4th of July and remember that I love all of you! :)

Winter As a College Student

Let me just tell you, there isn't a thing in the world fun about a dorm room in the winter! On the happen chance that yours is as old as mine (pre-1960s, thank you very much) you probably have radiators too, which personally, I have very little control over. Even on the off setting they exude so much heat that the room is stifling! And then you open the window and snow starts blowing in... Yay Appalachian Mountains! Let's just all agree that is quite a process. So what is one to do to combat these cold (and getting colder!) temperatures? First, I've got two B's for you (mostly because I couldn't come up with a third...) Blankets and Bedwarmers! Let's face it, dorm rooms are tiny and your bed is the focus of the majority of decor, as well as where you will be spending a large portion of your time (yay Netflix binges!) so you need to make sure it is super cozy! Personally, I have my sheets and comforter that I sleep under every night. ...

Ipsy: June

My June Ipsy bag! Probably my least favorite part of this bag... was the actual bag. It's quite ugly, but the products are good for the most part! This Be a Bombshell lipgloss in Secret is ok… It’s a nice brand, so I’m not mad at it, it just isn't my favorite. I put it on and it had almost a concealer like tint instead of the pretty pinky nude in the tube. I have used it since and if used with a lighter hand, it's ok. I love this Formula X nail polish by Sephora in Wingwoman! It is such a nice dark pink/red color, and it didn't chip! Do you know how hard it is to find a nail polish that doest chip on me? This Three Tone "Bronzer" by Crown Brush is ridiculous... It looks like little kids play makeup. It has a strip of bronze, a strip of pink, and one of a "highlight," and as soon as I took it out of he box the packaging fell apart. I didn't even bother trying it, I just listed it on a swap website. But t...

Last Minute Present: Oven Mitt

This is a super easy (and cheap) present that someone who loves baking or cooking would adore! I received this as a gift last year and I was so excited! To top it all off, this present couldn't get any easier, and it could be made for under $10 but is very versatile and can be made as elaborate or simple as you want! So the basics, you are going to need an oven mitt to put the whole present in, and then a few tools to solidify the cooking theme. I know for a fact the mitt, as well as the tools below, came from Walmart and can be snagged super cheap. Then you need to fill it with candy and food! In mine she added chocolate chip cookie mix, hot chocolate mix, and candy canes. Super simple right? And definitely something you could run to Walmart right now and put together. Like I said before, there are many variations you could do with this present! My mom has a wood burning tool and can burn designs into wooden...
