Birthday Trip Haul!

TJ-Maxx
Black T-shirt - Just needed some basics!
Baby Lips - Like I don't have enough of these already... But this is a new color! And it's Limited Edition!
The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil Skin Care Set - This set comes with toner, face wash, lotion, and pure tea tree oil.  It has great reviews, and I'd been wanting to try something like this for a while, so why not!
Paper Straws - Because sales...
Book with Ornament - This cute little picture book comes with an ornament that the child writes their name on, and then they press a button and it glows, so Santa can find them!  I thought I might give this a present, but then I decided it was cute and I wanted to keep it for when I have my own house and family one day (which I did a lot of during this trip...)
Dry Shampoo - This is my favorite, and I've been out for a while, and it's much cheaper here.

Hobby Lobby
Tiaras - I know this seems odd, but I needed them for the Christmas play I am in
Icing Tips - These were so cheap here, and they had so many options!  I limited myself to just two...

Kirklands
 "A" Ornament - I bought this kind of assuming I will end up marrying the guy I've been dating for two years now, considering his last name starts with an "A"... But I thought this was super pretty, and was only $5!

Vera Bradley
Vera Bradley was having a HUGE sale at the outlets! It was 50% off everything, with an extra 20% off your final purchase!
Card Holder - This is a double ID holder to hold your license and student ID.  I'd been wanting one for when I transfer to a four year school, and it was on sale!
Lanyard - I currently have a Chapel Hill lanyard, because I love the Tar Heels, but lately people have been asking me if I go there, and I hate saying no... So I now have a cutesy one instead!
Phone Case - My other case was looking kind of yucky, and though this one won't be as protective, its so cute!

Dollywood
Simply Southern Shirt - I am such a typical white (southern) girl... But these shirts are so cute!

Books-A-Million
The Great Gatsby Phone Case - I loved this book, and I was so excited to find this case on sale!
Peter Pan Socks - These were only $2, an are so freaking cute... I want leggings in this same full print!

Christmas Place
Cookie Ornament - This was on sale, and is also for my future house! I love the ornaments that look like food!

Paula Deen's Restaurant
Peach Cobbler Chapstick - Because I basically just wanted something from her restaurant... I bought Mom butter flavor!

Dollywood Resort (Pokeberry Lane)
Cup - Because I am totally obsessed with these cups!! And I had to have something from the Resort
3 post cards - I thought these were so pretty! This is what I had in mind when I bought them, and I am really happy with how it turned out!

Thistle Dew Me
This was a super cute store in Gatlinburg which had tons of these kitchen themed ornaments! I bought mom two, and two for me, but I wanted them all!
2 Ornaments - I chose this star cookie cutter (which I actually thought was a gingerbread man...), and a heart tiny pie pan!

Gatlinburg
Simply Southern Shirt - Well this one is a little different than my many others... it has long sleeves!  This was also the cheapest I had ever seen Simply Southern shirts, which was around $25-27
Sticky Notes - Because I have an unhealthy obsession...

Christmas Decorations

I decorated my dorm prior to Thanksgiving so we would be able to have the decorations up for quite a while before going home.  My classes ended the first week in December, so there wouldn't have been a point to decorating after!  After coming home for Christmas break I simply decorated my room at home with the decorations I had at school, so I thought it would be fun to show you both! Dorm This is where all of the main decorations in the room were.  We already had the lights up so we simply hung icicles and a bow from them.  We placed clings on the window the said "Let it Snow."  On the windowsill we sat my fiberoptic tree in the middle, and then added little knick knacks all around, which you can't see well because of the weird lighting... I swear I didn't take this in a dark room, but the combination of backlighting from outside, the string lights, and the tree, it all just messed with my camera. Here closer up picture of the tree and the things...

Dorm Life VoxBox

I got another VoxBox from Influenster!  This is a company that sends complementary products to a group of people in exchange for reviews and posts about them.  So this is sponsored in a way, but all opinions are 100% true and my own!  If you want to see allllll of my sponsored posts then check out my Instagram , because they are coming!  I am @bethanyallen15. This is called the #DormLife VoxBox and it is themed around all the different kinds of things a college girl might want or need! Look at all of the stuff in this box!  It is packed to the brim, and with a large variety of things, so let's get into it. This is the Not Your Mother's Naturals Tapioca and Rice Dry Shampoo.  I loooove dry shampoo and use it on the daily, but personally, I am very loyal to Batiste brand.  I have tried a couple others and not really been impressed, but Not Your Mother's is usually a very nice brand, so I was super excited to give this a shot. ...

Homemade Beauty... Natural Toners

Sliced strawberries, grapes, cucumbers, lemons, and tomatoes work wonderfully as  natural toners to tighten skin and shrink pores.   Strawberries make an excellent cleanser, moisturizer, and skin-softener. They are rich in healthy-skin vitamins A & C and have a neutral PH so they are mild. Grapes can reduce wrinkles, even skin tone, moisturize, and reduce the  appearance of scars. The high water content in cucumbers hydrates and cools your skin, and the natural oils in help soften your skin. Lemon juice and water can be used to lighten dark spots on your skin, and reduce shine caused by oil on your face. Tomatoes contain gentle acids which will help to cleanse your skin while removing dead skin cells and clearing black heads. Pick the one you think wold work best for you, slice, and apply directly to your face.  Comment below and let me know your results if you try this out!
