Birthday Trip: Days 1 and 2

Day 1

7:40
Well my alarm went off half an hour ago and I just can't bring myself to get up... But today is the start of my birthday weekend!!
You all may remember the announcement I made that I would be going to Disney this week. Well... We ended up canceling that because my parents were worried about it. So now we are going this Summer, and tonight, we are leaving for Pigeon Forge!
Today I am wearing:
A black shirt from TJ-Maxx/Ross
Leggings from Rue 21
Boots from Belks
Necklace from Belks

11:30
Just got out of my English class, and presented my Bio project that I am missing later this week! Now I have to finish a paper and my computers homework, have a teacher proof read my papers, and I'll be heading home!

Im currently having a super interesting lunch of amazing homemade chicken salad and pumpkin dessert from Thanksgiving, with carrots!

2:45
Headed home to finish packing!

4:20
On our way to Pigeon Forge!

7:00
We made it to our room and this place is so cute!!
Parent's bed, we had bunk beds right beside them!

Bathroom...

Look at the adorable, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash!

She also left a sample of the Farm House Fresh Sweet Cream body lotion.  It smelled soooo good!

Now we are on our way to eat at the restaurant in the Resort!

A lot of restaurants will leave games at the table, but here they left rocks!  I'm not sure of the purpose, but aren't they cute!

 We did the family style dinner and had tomato cheddar bread with pickles,

 strawberry pecan salad, 

 pot roast, fried chicken, mashed potatoes, green beans, 
and apple donuts with custard sauce for dessert!
It was heavenly!


9:30
We just finished dinner and exploring, and both were great!
The fountain at the front of the resort...

The outdoor pool

A wall of all of her movies, plays, and records!

The boys found a game room...

So mom and I just chilled!

And then we found the fireplace... And I never wanted to leave.

10:15
Currently sitting beside the fireplace in the lobby (in pajamas...) 

finishing the papers I have that are due Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday! If I have to do homework though, this isn't a bad way to do it!


12:30
Just got back to the room and finally into bed! These bunk beds we have are sleeping bag style, so I have to zip myself in... This place is just adorable.

Goodnight you all!

Day 2

10:10
So we all woke up at 7:30 this morning… 7:30, on a vacation. Why? I do not know! But we just kind of chilled in the room and got ready at a very leisurely pace… I had a pop tart for breakfast, which it super exciting. Now we are off to go shopping!

Today I am wearing:
Tank top from Maurice's
Flannel from Rue 21
Jeans from American Eagle
Watch from Bass
Earrings were a present for my boyfriend from Maurice's
Boots from Belks

We just left TJ-Maxx… 3 hours, in just one store. Now to Ulta and Hobby Lobby!

3:30
Lunch at Wendy's 
and a quick trip to Tanger Outlets!

5:10
Just left Tangers! I hit up Bath and Body Works, Vera Bradley, Michael Kors, Rue 21 and Kirklands! I only bought things at Vera Bradley and Kirklands though, so not much damage!

6:00
On our way to Dollywood! Because we are staying at the resort, they provide transportation and a special entrance, just like a baby Disney!
We were the only ones on the bus!

To the park I am wearing:
Cami from Aeropostale
White shirt from Ross or TJ-Maxx
Flannel from American Eagle
Jeans from American Eagle

7:00
Just sat down to watch Dolly's version of A Christmas Carol!

She even put herself in it!

9:00
Just got on the trolley to go back to the resort! After the Christmas Carol we rode a few rides, and watched the parade!


We were the only ones even at the ride for Tennessee Tornado

Look at the lights!

And then Rudolph telling us goodbye!


9:30

Going to get Krispy Kreme Doughnuts!

Red Velvet!

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...
