Dirty Myrtle 2017: Day 1


7:05 
Good morning ladies, it's beach day!! 
I have been up about an hour now finishing up some last minute things, and I was up until after 1 last night doing the same… it's been hectic, and I'm wiped, but ready to get on the road! 
Kaitlyn should be here in about an hour, and before then I've got to finish packing, get ready, and pack my car! I better get to it 😅

8:15
Beach bound! 

I was actually able to accomplish pretty much everything I needed to this morning and was ready when Kaitlyn got here, that never happens!

9:30
We already made a stop at Denny's for breakfast, and we are barely an hour away from home… This might be a long trip 😂 

We decided to split salted caramel banana shortbread pancakes and an omelet… It was so good, but it was just too much, we barely even finished half!

11:00

We finished breakfast, drove a little further down the road, and then switched drivers because she is better in traffic and more used to this road than me. Our current "estimated arrival time" is about 3:00. Our condo is cleaned and ready, so whenever we get there we can go ahead and check in! After that we will get groceries, and then who knows how the rest of the day will go!

12:45
Stopped at a rest area to stretch our legs… Now back on the road!
Buuuuuut.... Not without Muddy Buddies!

5:15
We made it!! 

We got to our condo about 3:15 and since then we have just been hanging out and enjoying our view. We both had to call parents and grandparents to let them know we were here safe, and then we honestly just needed a minute to relax after such a long day of driving! Now we are about to go grocery shopping, and then we are going to have Chinese food delivered!

9:20
Chillin in tha pool 😎 

After grocery shopping we ate dinner and watched a movie. We are apparently into splitting things this weekend, and with the other restaurants we have picked out I foresee that trend continuing! 
We split a hibachi chicken and steak with rice, and then added another side of rice and an order of spring rolls! 
Afterwards we went down for a walk on the beach and then came to swim in the pool!

10:00

And that, my friends, draws the first day to a close! It has been long and tiring, but totally worth it to finally be at the beach!

VoxBox: Tressemé Beauty-Full Volume

I know I don't usually post at 9 o'clock on Monday nights, but I wanted to go ahead and get this out to you all while I had time, because... I got another VoxBox! This one was the Tresemmé Reverse Your Routine box with a full sized shampoo and conditioner. This is a Volumizing system, and is reffered to as "Reverse Your Routine" because you conditioner before you shampoo... Weird right?  I have to say I was a little confused and skeptical at first. The concept is that when you put conditioner in your hair and rinse then residue is left on weighing down your hair.  My thoughts were that the residue left were the moisturizing properties and that you wouldn't want to rid yourself of all of them... It just seemed a little pointless. I have been using this combination periodically for a few weeks now, and surprisingly I actually really like it!  When I get out of the shower my hair does feel much lighter than usual.  Though it is hard to tell if I have...

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. ...

This is the first of a new series called the "Summer Essentials"!  Enjoy! :) So... when you are going somewhere on vacation you can't just carry all of your makeup around in your hands, I mean who does that! We've got to pack in style! I found quite a few different makeup bag, case, and organizer options, and most are at relatively cheap prices! Check them out and find the one that is perfect for you!! :) 1. This is a small sequined cloth bag with a zipper top. Cloth is less structured and is more apt to absorb spills, but you can also just toss it into the washing machine when it gets dirty.  This would be a bag I would stick into my purse for the day or for an overnight trip. It's dimensions are   7" High x 10" Wide x 2" Deep It comes in Blue and White, Black and White, and Pink and Black. $5.80 at  www.forever21.com/beauty_acc 2.
