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!

Girls Night In!

Time to unwind with a girls night!  If you are like me and my adorable roomie, you just completed a week of mind numbing midterms and you need to unwind.   Priority number one is getting into the comfiest possible clothes that you own, bonus points if you have super cute matching pjs unlike me... My top pick is my boyfriends flannel (which is huge on me! <3) and leggings with fuzzy socks.   If you want to go the comfy but cute route, Adore Me has sleepwear ranging from sexy slips and camis if you are having a night in with your significant other, cute sweats for a girls night like we are having, and robes if you just need something to cuddle up in and be extra cozy! I highl y reccomend them!  And, just like with their bra and panty sets, your first set is only $25! Step two is to slap on a face mask! In the picture above I am wearing the Glam Glow SuperMud, which is not pictured because I only have a small Sephora sample, but it work...

Influenster Spirit VoxBox

I know I've been pretty absent the past month or two and this isn't one of my usual post days, but I wanted to go ahead and let you all know that I got another VoxBox!! This one was the Spirit VoxBox.  I'm not entirely sure the significance of the theme of this box, but it had some cute and interesting new products This was the NYC Lovatics Lip and Cheek tint, and is apparently a collaboration from Demi Lovato. This is supposed to be similar product to the Benefit Benetint product!  I've tried it, and I can vouch for the fact that it is definitely a STAIN, so don't mess up, and if you use your fingers to spread it then beware!  It isn't drying at all, though it does tend to cling to the drier places on your lips.  The color is a bright pink and lasts the entire day, if not longer!  And that is no exaggeration...  I can't say I'm a huge fan of it as a cheek stain, but I am still working on figuring out how to apply it the correct way. The...

Sprezza Box: October

This type of post is a bit out of the ordinary for me... You all know I am obsessed with subscription boxes, but this one is a man's subscription box!  I have seen this type of box before and thought they looked interesting, but expensive and a bit feminine.   This one was neither of those things.  It is normally $28, which is more than I like to pay for a box, but they were doing a promotion for your first box for $8!  I thought, why not?  I can either give it to my boyfriend or my day, everyone wins!  The box came with: A Countess Mara Tie Sprezza brand Cufflinks Paul Evans Socks A Business Card Holder "Fashion Anchors" (set of 6) Frey for Men Laundry Detergent (1 load) As you can see, it came with many really nice items, that seem to be good quality, and were beautifully packaged! I plan to give the tie and socks to my boyfriend as part of his Christmas present, and the business card holder to my friend who is currently...
