Outer Banks 2013: Day 3, Sunday June 9th

8:20 AM
...It is 8:20 in the morning. Let me say that one more time, I went to bed at 1 AM last night and IT IS 8:20 IN THE MORNING!!!! If you thought my little brother getting up at 8:30 yesterday was bad you should have seen him today! 6:30!!!!!!! He woke up at 6 #*#&#*@ 30!!!!! Well I am just kidding... kind of ;) But seriously though, who does that?
Well today might be a little bit of a boring day for you all, bit I am sooooo excited! We are finally going down to the beach today!! I can't wait!

10:30 AM
Just got all sunscreaned up and ready for the beach! Not a whole lot has happened since I woke up mad at the world this morning ;) I had a blueberry cream cheese muffin for breakfast (I like muffins lately...) and I got to eat it out on the deck of our condo while I finished my book! 
We haven't even made it down to the beach yet and I am already loving this vacation! :)

2:10 PM
Just finished lunch! Getting ready to head back down to the beach soon! :)

7:15 PM
Well we finally came in from the beach! We came back to the condo from the swimming pool at around 6:15, and since then have been getting ready to do out to eat
At the beach today we threw the football, went on a walk to find seashells, and laid in the sun :) 

We also found sand fleas! 
They are little crabs (with no pinchers) that look like over grow fleas.
 I attempted to take my boogie board out into the ocean and ride the waves but, because of the tropical storm, we have really chopy waves and it is hard to get a good ride.
Check back with you all later!

9:30 PM
Just finished having dinner at Flippers! I had Spinach Artichoke Dip... which was just ok. 

Now we are on our way to play putt-putt golf at The Emerald Forest!

mom golfing :)

10:40 PM
Finally made it back to the condo and man 'o man has it been a long day! We stayed down at the beach for a few hours, came back to the condo to eat lunch, went back down to the beach for around three more hours, went to the pool for an hour, came back to the condo, got ready, went out to eat, played putt-putt, and then here we are now! :)
Right now we are all chilling in the living room of our condo while watching the Karate Kid and eating oreos :)
Oh just by the way, I got fried today! Obviously I am not good at putting on sunscreen... I have little strips and spots all over me that I missed, but the biggest one? I missed the whole backside of my legs... No. Joke. Oh well, maybe I will just get tan :)


12:25 AM
Just wanted to get back on really quick and tell you all goodnight and I love you! :) Sleep tight!

Winter As a College Student

Let me just tell you, there isn't a thing in the world fun about a dorm room in the winter!  On the happen chance that yours is as old as mine (pre-1960s, thank you very much) you probably have radiators too, which personally, I have very little control over.  Even on the off setting they exude so much heat that the room is stifling!  And then you open the window and snow starts blowing in... Yay Appalachian Mountains! Let's just all agree that is quite a process.  So what is one to do to combat these cold (and getting colder!) temperatures? First, I've got two B's for you (mostly because I couldn't come up with a third...)  Blankets and Bedwarmers! Let's face it, dorm rooms are tiny and your bed is the focus of the majority of decor, as well as where you will be spending a large portion of your time (yay Netflix binges!) so you need to make sure it is super cozy! Personally, I have my sheets and comforter that I sleep under every night.  ...

Last Minute Present: Oven Mitt

This is a super easy (and cheap) present that someone who loves baking or cooking would adore!  I received this as a gift last year and I was so excited!  To top it all off, this present couldn't get any easier, and it could be made for under $10 but is very versatile and can be made as elaborate or simple as you want!   So the basics, you are going to need an oven mitt to put the whole present in, and then a few tools to solidify the cooking theme.  I know for a fact the mitt, as well as the tools below, came from Walmart and can be snagged super cheap. Then you need to fill it with candy and food!  In mine she added chocolate chip cookie mix, hot chocolate mix, and candy canes.  Super simple right?  And definitely something you could run to Walmart right now and put together.  Like I said before, there are many variations you could do with this present!  My mom has a wood burning tool and can burn designs into wooden...

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...
