      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....

      College Countdown: Planer and Week at a Glance

      The week prior to move in is going to be crazy!!  We are getting back from Disney the night of August 11th, and I move in between 1:00 and 4:00 on the 12th… Between driving over ten hours back home, unpacking from Disney, finishing packing for college, and then finally moving in, it is going to be a chaotic two days!   Once I'm home I have to pack up my clothes (which I've already picked out), pack any toiletries I haven't been able to, and anything else last minute which I wasn't able to before the Disney trip! My schedule for the day went something like this... Staying up late into the night packing and then waking up much too early to continue  12:00 Lunch at my Grandmother's house with my extended family since I haven't seen them in a while and won't see them again for a longer while! 2:00 Leave for College with pitstops at the place I used to work to pick up my check, the bank to cash the check, and then off to college! 3:45 Moving ...

      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 -...
