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!

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....

My Summer in a Nutshell...

So I know I have been in and out throughout July, and then completely off the face of the Earth for August... Forgive me guys? I knew you would :) In some ways I thought you might need an explanation for where I have been, so here is it! July... So for the first two weeks of July I was recovering from a June (beach and packing the first two weeks, You saw all of this remember? :)  work and Bible School the last two), This was part of our Bile School castle, it was so cool! :)   doing Summer work (sort of not really ;), and working with the children's Librarian which was amazing! :)  We made Dirt Babies!! Aren't they cute??? The next week was consumed by church camp, which I can honestly say was one of the best weeks of my life! We had services every morning and night, and were part of a huge youth choir. It was a wonderful experience to bond with new people, and get closer to the Lord :) Our group was the second bigge...

"Safe Tanning"

Ok... we all know that there is technically no such thing as "Safe Tanning", but there are ways to tan that are safer than others. Here are some tips that will help you get an amazing (and slightly more safe) tan this summer. 1. Exfoliate The key for an amazing tan is to exfoliate your skin! If you don't exfoliate, your tan will end up patchy, you will peel, and will altogether be a very unattractive situation... Try to exfoliate every other day or at least once a week while you are on vacation, and use a hardcore intense exfoliator before you leave and after you get home. And don't forget your lips and face! But remember, to exfoliate your lips and face you will need to find a exfoliator made specifically for each of those areas. 2. Put sun protection Put sunscreen on at least 30 minutes before you head to sun tanning. Some people say at least a minimum af 30 SPF, but personally I use 15. As silly as this sounds, pay attention and read your ...
