New Favorite App!

I just wanted to tell you all about this really cool new app I found for my Kindle Fire! If you have been visiting this blog for any length of time whatsoever, you know about my obsession with list making.  And yes I admit, it has turned into something of an obsession as of lately... But anyway... The app is called "My Binder: Tabbed Notes" When you open it up and it shows you all of the different notebooks you have made And when you pick a notebook it shows you all of your pages and tabs you have made and named. You can name everything whatever you want, create as many notebooks as you would like,  and hi-light the important things. I love it! And thought this was a great way to ring in the beginning of my Summer and Packing post montage because I am going to be using this aaaaaaaaaaaall the time for quick lists and blog ideas! I already have three notebooks just pertaining to beachy things! You can get it here:  www.amazon.com/...

What's in my... Toiletry Roll

I would just like to let you all know that I am packing for a twelve day trip, so for some of you this might not be enough, for some it may be to much. It all depends on personal preference and this is what I have found works for me! I would also like you to know that we are going to be driving everywhere on this vacation, so to an extent I don't have to worry about how much I pack or the sizes of my products. This is my Toiletry Roll  that I hang on the back of the door in the bathroom wherever we are staying. I am going to go through pocket by pocket and show you what I am bringing. In the Top Pocket I have mostly random things. I have Band-aids for small cuts and blisters Q-Tips Safety Pins, in case a strap breaks or something And the brown thing on the left side is a bra clip for razor back tank tops In the Second Pocket  I have skincare things Hawaiian Tropic Clear Sense Sunscreen SPF 4 Travel pack of equate Makeup Remover Wipes And in...

It is Emerald Isle NC it is perfect!  So in my mind it is so perfect because: It is on the beautiful coast of North Carolina (which is where I live, and where I love!) It's name is Emerald ISLE so its on a cute little island (Duh!), at some places o the island you can see the Bogue Sound (yes this is a body of water, and yes this is a real place) and the Atlantic Ocean on the other It is a quite little town so everyone if friendly, and the beaches are never crowded There is a nice little aquarium just up the island a bit The is a little shopping center called Emerald Plantations that includes a movie theater , restaurants, shops, and a river where you can feed Sea Turtles (this is especially fun because there's one that is bigger than my six year old brother! It lives at the bottom and only comes up occasiona...
