Themed Presents: Beatles

For this music themed present, I chose to do the Beatles. This was an ironic choice for me, because I hate the Beatles with a burning passion… I know, that is sacrilege to some people, but I just really hate them! My boyfriend on the other hand, loves them, and takes every opportunity to play their music to get on my nerves!

This present wasn’t as much chosen, as the pieces just kind of fell together. As I said in my Guide to Christmas Shopping post, I like to get my shopping done early, and when there are sales!

At one the millions of “biggest sales of the year!” at Old Navy over the Summer, I found this really cool Beatles t-shirt for super cheap. It is so soft, and looks like a movie poster/ticket! This was around $7.

At Ross, which is another one of my favorite stores, they have a whole wall of really nice framed pictures and canvases. I found this shadow box style picture a few months later, and when I bought it I wasn’t even thinking about the t-shirt, it just worked out! It is set back in the frame, and the picture is made of the ridged 3D material, so it looks like the Beatles are popping out and walking across the frame! This was $5.99

The silly part of the present that I always have to include, was a Submarine Contacts case! You know, like the Yellow Submarine? I may hate them, but I’m not completely Beatles illiterate! This was a couple of dollars from Forever 21.

Finally, the really ironic part of this present was this CD… And there is a story behind it. Maze and I were in his truck one day this Summer with the windows down, and he hands me a Beatles CD. I just laid it down, because there was no way I was going to put it in! He was like “I figured you’d act like you were going to throw it out the window or something!” So I go to pretend like I am… and then let go… Neither of us could believe it, and he has given me heck about it since! I got this off of Amazon for $8.98

And that was the complete present! He has really seemed to like it, and displayed the picture on his desk in his dorm.

This could easily be done around any band, you just have to keep your eyes out!

Fragrant Jewels: Shipment One

So I decided to try a new Subscription Box... Remember when that was all I did?? I'm sure most of you have heard of the company Fragrant Jewels. They create candles, bath bombs, and other fun products, all with rings hidden inside! The first box I received was a present for a friend, and I liked hers so much I decided to try it out as well! I really wanted a candle though, and sadly this box didn't contain one. But regardless, this is the Sweet Retreat collection. The scent is described as "Cool Marine Breeze, Fresh Lavender, and Soothing Chamomile." It is a bit to floral and fragrant to be especially soothing, but it is very nice and bright for spring. The first item in the box were mini bath bombs. I actually prefer this size of bath bombs to the big ones! I was, however, afraid that since they were mini that this product wouldn't come with a ring, which kind of defeats the purpose of Fragrant "Jewels" doesn't it? But no worries

Emerald Isle Pics

I have been asked to post some more of my personal pictures of Emerald Isle since the last post I made, I actually haven't had the opportunity to go back since I got my new camera (and laptop) so I don't have any current pictures. I do happen to have some pictures of the beach (it was early spring and early in the morning, so they are kind of bland) that we went to on a school trip that is just a short distance up the island. I hope you like them!! :) I PROMISE I will post some more (better ones) as soon as I can!

Best Beach Ever!

So... I am debating on if I should even share this with you because it is so amazing! This is the most absolutely amazing beach I have ever been to in my life! 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
