Hauls Upon Hauls: Part 1, Christmas!

This is going to be a three part Haul series detailing everything I have received or bought from my Birthday on December 15th to just lately!

From Co-Workers
  • Beautiful Day Lotion from Bath and Body Works
  • Christmas Earrings
  • Candle from Walmart - I had actually looked at buying this, so I am happy I got it!
  • Snowman socks from Walmart and Earwarmers from Walmart both of which aren't pictured only because I couldn't find them... but I do like them!

From Kaitlyn (aka my best friend ever!)
  • Oahu Bath and Body Works Shower Gel - I have the rest of the set, and this completes it!
  • Green and Purple Box - This might seem kind of odd, but I love little pointless boxes and bags :)

  • Battery Operated Tealights

Aunt, Uncle, and Cousins

  • Lace Cardigan
  • Cupcake Book - When I got this, I started looking through it and saw a whole section on how to make faces on cupcakes! I yell out “This book shows you how to make people!” Because my family is very sarcastic and goofy, the book was was immediately taken and inspected.  My cousin says “I always told you not to make people!”


From Grandparents (Both sets)

  • Purple Colombia Coat

From “Santa”!

  • Brown Boot Socks
  • Planner from PlumPaperDesigns on Etsy - This is not pictured, because it actually has not come yet… When it finally comes and I start using it, I will do a while post on it :)
  • Camera Set - I wasn’t so sure what i though about this at first to tell the truth. It seemed like a really nice camera that came with a bag and everything, but I hadn’t asked for one, and when I take pictures I usually just use Mom’s amazing camera! So I had really considered returning it, and putting the money towards a new laptop for college, but i decided to try it out first.  I took it to a Carolina Basketball game, and then am using it now, but I’m still not completely settled on it! What do you all think?
  • Stuffed Simba :)

  • Maleficent DVD - Love this movie!
  • Cupcake Towels and Oven Mitt Set - Going in my hope chest for my future house :)
  • Love Comes Softly Series, final two movies
  • Message/NIV Bible - I know a lot of people don’t agree with different translations of the Bible, and even after specifically picking this one out and reading in it I’m still not sure I do! But as a study tool, it is the most useful thing I have ever had!
  • Pink Pepper Spray - Present from daddy :)
  • Home Free CD - If you have never heard of them you need to go find them!! They are an all men, country a cappella group! (Not pictured because it is in my car and it is snowing outside at the moment! :O)

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 ...
