Black Friday Haul!

When I came home from Black Friday shopping, it made me sick to think about how much I had spent...
And then I organized what I had bought into piles, I actually hadn't bought that much for myself!  I had bought quite a few presents for people, and my family had me buying things for them since they weren't going shopping.  So I will even be paid back part of what I spent!
Maybe if I keep rationalizing it, I will start to actually believe it...

Walmart
Fuzzy Socks - These are literally my favorite things ever, they are so soft! These were about $5
Two Disney Story Books - I got a Bedtime stories book and a Christmas stories book, these were $6 each and I am going to save them for my kids of day to go with the set I already have!
Washcloths - You know, college prep! They were about $2
Sports Bra - Such a pretty color, and only $5!
Lotion - This wasn't on sale, but I've been wanting it a while, so why not! This was about $10

Belks
Necklace - This was so pretty and I've been looking for a new long necklace! This was $6.60

Ulta
It's a 10 - I was so excited, because this was actually free with any purchase, and is normally $17.96!!
Hand and Face Wipes - These were a dollar, and the only reason I even got them was so my friend could finish out her 5 for $5, but they smell good!

Rue 21
Layered Necklace - This is a gorgeous necklace that I got for only $2.79! Rue 21 jewelry isn't the best quality, but it's super cute!
North Carolina Necklace - This was one of the few things I bought all night that wasn't on sale, but I have been wanting one for a while and it was only $5.99.
Underooos! - They were on sale for either $1 or $2, but I'm not gonna show them...
"A" - Since when did Rue 21 get cute decor?? I got this cute wooden "A" for $1.20
Lights - I have been looking at these, but they aren't that long and aren't cheap for the quality they are.  They look like tiny dew drop lights on copper wire, and I found a set on sale for $3.20!
Pillowcases - One says "LO" and the other says "VE", cute right? They were only $2.40!

Ross
Jewelry Holder - Also not on sale, but super cute!! This was only $6.99
Basket for Lippies - My lip product have been overflowing, so I got an adorable new white basket to keep them in!

Overall it was a really fun trip, where we didn't get home until 4 in the morning!  I really love everything I bought for me, as well as the presents for other people!

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 ...
