Black Friday Haul!

When I came home from Black Friday shopping, it made me sick to think about how much I had spent...
And then I organized what I had bought into piles, I actually hadn't bought that much for myself!  I had bought quite a few presents for people, and my family had me buying things for them since they weren't going shopping.  So I will even be paid back part of what I spent!
Maybe if I keep rationalizing it, I will start to actually believe it...

Walmart
Fuzzy Socks - These are literally my favorite things ever, they are so soft! These were about $5
Two Disney Story Books - I got a Bedtime stories book and a Christmas stories book, these were $6 each and I am going to save them for my kids of day to go with the set I already have!
Washcloths - You know, college prep! They were about $2
Sports Bra - Such a pretty color, and only $5!
Lotion - This wasn't on sale, but I've been wanting it a while, so why not! This was about $10

Belks
Necklace - This was so pretty and I've been looking for a new long necklace! This was $6.60

Ulta
It's a 10 - I was so excited, because this was actually free with any purchase, and is normally $17.96!!
Hand and Face Wipes - These were a dollar, and the only reason I even got them was so my friend could finish out her 5 for $5, but they smell good!

Rue 21
Layered Necklace - This is a gorgeous necklace that I got for only $2.79! Rue 21 jewelry isn't the best quality, but it's super cute!
North Carolina Necklace - This was one of the few things I bought all night that wasn't on sale, but I have been wanting one for a while and it was only $5.99.
Underooos! - They were on sale for either $1 or $2, but I'm not gonna show them...
"A" - Since when did Rue 21 get cute decor?? I got this cute wooden "A" for $1.20
Lights - I have been looking at these, but they aren't that long and aren't cheap for the quality they are.  They look like tiny dew drop lights on copper wire, and I found a set on sale for $3.20!
Pillowcases - One says "LO" and the other says "VE", cute right? They were only $2.40!

Ross
Jewelry Holder - Also not on sale, but super cute!! This was only $6.99
Basket for Lippies - My lip product have been overflowing, so I got an adorable new white basket to keep them in!

Overall it was a really fun trip, where we didn't get home until 4 in the morning!  I really love everything I bought for me, as well as the presents for other people!

Influenster Chapstick VoxBox

This was a fun VoxBox to be a part of!   Before these three new Chapstick flavors were released to stores, I got to give them a shot!  If you would like to try out this service where they send you products to review, you can sign up here: www.influenster.com/refferal   These Chapsticks are actually different from your everyday $1 chapstick beside the register at Walmart.  These are 100% natural lip butter "with naturally sourced ingredients, including Sunflower Oil, Coconut Oil, Avocado Oil, Olive Oil, Shea Butter, and Beeswax for healthier looking lips."  I was sent three flavors, Green Tea Mint, Sweet Papaya, Pink Grapefruit. By far my favorite of the three flavors was Green Tea Mint.  I didn't really get much green tea flavor, but it had a nice minty tingle.  The Sweet Papaya was good, nice and fruity.  My least favorite was the Pink Grapefruit... But I'm not a huge fan of the fake grapefruit smell/flavor regardless.  Yo...

Christmas Decorations

I decorated my dorm prior to Thanksgiving so we would be able to have the decorations up for quite a while before going home.  My classes ended the first week in December, so there wouldn't have been a point to decorating after!  After coming home for Christmas break I simply decorated my room at home with the decorations I had at school, so I thought it would be fun to show you both! Dorm This is where all of the main decorations in the room were.  We already had the lights up so we simply hung icicles and a bow from them.  We placed clings on the window the said "Let it Snow."  On the windowsill we sat my fiberoptic tree in the middle, and then added little knick knacks all around, which you can't see well because of the weird lighting... I swear I didn't take this in a dark room, but the combination of backlighting from outside, the string lights, and the tree, it all just messed with my camera. Here closer up picture of the tree and the things...

Etsy Haul: KP ( aka "chicken skin") Products

So have you ever heard of KP?   This is short for Keratosis Pilaris, and is more commonly known as "chicken skin."  They are the small, red, hard bumps they generally appear on your upper arms or thighs, but can happen just about anywhere!  It is generally an incurable genetic condition, so multiple people in a family will suffer from it at varying degrees.  Well, my family is one of those.   Now before you start a "Go Fund Me" page for this horrible medical condition, let me say, these bumps are totally and completely harmless.  The biggest hit usually comes to a person's self esteem when they wear sleeveless tops.  It is nothing to be embarrassed of, and if you are comfortable with it, then good for you!  You are more confident than I am, and I applaud you.  Because, and I'm going to be real with you here, I am pretty self conscious of it... It is generally recommended to use gentle lotions and to use a body scru...
