Let's Talk...

I feel so bad, I have been such a flake with posting recently and the past month is when I should have been really focused on getting out content, because....
My summer classes started this week.
And they are intense.
Like, more so than I expected and I'm only a week in.

Also, I just got my Summer schedule for the daycare I work at, and instead of my normal 9:30-5:30, I was switched to 
6:00-12:30... 
That is a huge difference, I've never gotten up that early in my life!  It is a lot better in some ways because I now have my full days free, but it's a difficult sleep schedule to get used to.  

As a result, I've been spending my mornings at work, and my evenings doing homework, or attempting to have a social life... 
This is my last Summer before college after all, so I want to have fun!  But it just makes things more difficult when I need to be in bed early for work, balance homework, and then there is this blog.

I love having this creative outlet, and I'm not ready to give it up, but at the same time feeling the pressure of having to post of Wednesday and Saturday makes me not want to do it, as you all have seen... 
I'm sorry about that.

So for this Summer, I think I am going to go back to only posting on Saturday, and save up any other posts that I have time to write until I'm in college and even busier!
This isn't exactly a solution I like, because I have tons of ideas I want to get out there!  But actually getting the posts onto "paper," so to speak, is my real issue...
So let's try this for a little while and see how it works!

As for the remainder of the summer?
My classes and job end on July 29th, and we leave for Disney on the 31st!! In between now and then I have some family issues to be taken care of, Bible School to teach, weddings/parties to attend and plan, my brother's birthday, and hopefully a beach trip!  Finally, I will be moving in at Appalachian on August 12th!
So a busy Summer to say the least.
But as a result of this busy-ness, I have some pretty cool post ideas!

I plan to do:
  • Love With Food and Ipsy throwbacks that I've missed, 
  • My new Graze subscription I'm going to start in college, 
  • I have another exciting VoxBox (or two) on the way, 
  • Long overdue empties, 
  • Whats in my Beach Bag, 
  • A seven day college countdown (including packing!), 
  • Hopefully a new Disney packing series, 
  • And, OF COURSE my day by day Disney blogs!
I'm going to work hard and do my best to get these out in a timely manner, but please, hang in there with me!

I love you all, and I can't thank you enough for hanging in there with me, so this is goodbye to Wednesdays for now, but it is no where near goodbye!

Etsy Haul: KP ( aka "chicken skin") Products

So have you ever heard of KP?   This is short for Keratosis Pilaris, and is more commonly known as "chicken skin."  They are the small, red, hard bumps they generally appear on your upper arms or thighs, but can happen just about anywhere!  It is generally an incurable genetic condition, so multiple people in a family will suffer from it at varying degrees.  Well, my family is one of those.   Now before you start a "Go Fund Me" page for this horrible medical condition, let me say, these bumps are totally and completely harmless.  The biggest hit usually comes to a person's self esteem when they wear sleeveless tops.  It is nothing to be embarrassed of, and if you are comfortable with it, then good for you!  You are more confident than I am, and I applaud you.  Because, and I'm going to be real with you here, I am pretty self conscious of it... It is generally recommended to use gentle lotions and to use a body scru...

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...
