      Ipsy: May

      Look How cute this bag is!  It is an envelope style with a button closure and different landmarks covering it. In this bag I really enjoyed three, was pretty apathetic about one, and HATED the last one...  But this is my third to last bag before I cancel the subscription and head off to college, so I'm trying to make the most of them! This is the eva-nyc Hungry Hair Oil treatment.  Hair oil isn't really my thing, but this smells nice and will be nice for traveling, so I'm pretty apathetic about it. I have absolutely been loving this Jelly Pong Pong blush and bronzer duo!  The bronzer is the perfect shade for my fair skin tone, and the blush is a nice coral color for summer and I have been enjoying it as well.  I truthfully wasn't too excited about this brand, but I was nicely surprised! I am so upset about this that I refuse to even try it... It is a sparkly bubblegum pink that looks like something I would have loved in middle school. ...

      Disney 2016: Beach Days 1 and 2

      Day 1 3:40 a.m. It's DISNEY DAY! We are currently headed to Daytona beach for two nights before the Disney vacation part begins, and then we will be in Disney from the 31st to the 11th of August! I set not one but two alarms to get up this morning so we could leave by 3, and still did not get up until late... They didn't even phase me with two hours of sleep! The plan to day is basically just driving aaaaaaall day... But it's all worth it for Disney! 6:35 a.m. We just stopped at a rest stop somewhere in South Carolina! Now we are back on the road and headed to a Cracker Barrel on the other side of Colombia, South Carolina. It is a tradition that we always stop and have breakfast there on the way to vacation, and we aren't breaking it now! We got to see the prettiest sunrise while we were stopped! 9:00 a.m. Cracker Barrel time! 2:25 p.m. It's been a while since I last checked in, but truthfully not much has happened… We ...

      Love With Food: May

      This is the May Love With Food box, and it was really cute!  It had a nice variety, and some very cool different things that I wouldn't normally have bought myself, but I plan to look for again! The flavor of this Kutoa Peanut Butter and Jelly bar was pretty good, but the texture really threw me off...  It had a very soft texture, and I like my bars like this to have a little crunch.  That soft texture in addition to the subtle flavor just wasn't a great combination. These Smarty Pants Women's Vitamin Gummies were a "bonus" this month and not technically counted as one of the food items, which I thought was cool!  There were enough in there for a few days worth of doses, and even though they weren't my favorite gummy vitamins ever, they were pretty good! Trail Mix isn't really my thing because I tend to pick out what I want and leave the rest... But this Emily's trail mix wasn't bad, it just isn't my favorite I don't ...
