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...

Homemade Beauty... Banana Sugar Body Scrub

You will need... 1 ripe banana 3 tablespoons granulated sugar ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract or your favorite essential oil (optional) Smash ingredients together with a fork into a chunky goop, but don't over-mash or it will become too thin to use. If you want a banana scrub for your face, reserve some of the banana and mash it separately without sugar. In the shower, pat the sugar mixture and gently massage over your body. For your face, gently massage plain banana there, avoiding the eye area. Rinse off with warm water. Credit to  http://www.treehugger.com/organic-beauty/8-homemade-salt-and-sugar-body-scrubs.html

How to Clean Your Makeup Brushes

First , add equal parts of the oil and soap onto a plate. Start with about a teaspoon of each, then add more as you go along, if needed.  Next , swirl your dirty brush in the mixture. You will see all the leftover makeup start to flush itself out of the brush.  After you’ve swirled it around for 10 seconds or so, rinse the brush in lukewarm water to get all of the soap out. Continue to rinse until the water runs clear and the brush is no longer soapy. **Make sure not t...
