Dirty Myrtle 2017: Day 1


7:05 
Good morning ladies, it's beach day!! 
I have been up about an hour now finishing up some last minute things, and I was up until after 1 last night doing the same… it's been hectic, and I'm wiped, but ready to get on the road! 
Kaitlyn should be here in about an hour, and before then I've got to finish packing, get ready, and pack my car! I better get to it 😅

8:15
Beach bound! 

I was actually able to accomplish pretty much everything I needed to this morning and was ready when Kaitlyn got here, that never happens!

9:30
We already made a stop at Denny's for breakfast, and we are barely an hour away from home… This might be a long trip 😂 

We decided to split salted caramel banana shortbread pancakes and an omelet… It was so good, but it was just too much, we barely even finished half!

11:00

We finished breakfast, drove a little further down the road, and then switched drivers because she is better in traffic and more used to this road than me. Our current "estimated arrival time" is about 3:00. Our condo is cleaned and ready, so whenever we get there we can go ahead and check in! After that we will get groceries, and then who knows how the rest of the day will go!

12:45
Stopped at a rest area to stretch our legs… Now back on the road!
Buuuuuut.... Not without Muddy Buddies!

5:15
We made it!! 

We got to our condo about 3:15 and since then we have just been hanging out and enjoying our view. We both had to call parents and grandparents to let them know we were here safe, and then we honestly just needed a minute to relax after such a long day of driving! Now we are about to go grocery shopping, and then we are going to have Chinese food delivered!

9:20
Chillin in tha pool 😎 

After grocery shopping we ate dinner and watched a movie. We are apparently into splitting things this weekend, and with the other restaurants we have picked out I foresee that trend continuing! 
We split a hibachi chicken and steak with rice, and then added another side of rice and an order of spring rolls! 
Afterwards we went down for a walk on the beach and then came to swim in the pool!

10:00

And that, my friends, draws the first day to a close! It has been long and tiring, but totally worth it to finally be at the beach!

Dorm Life VoxBox

I got another VoxBox from Influenster!  This is a company that sends complementary products to a group of people in exchange for reviews and posts about them.  So this is sponsored in a way, but all opinions are 100% true and my own!  If you want to see allllll of my sponsored posts then check out my Instagram , because they are coming!  I am @bethanyallen15. This is called the #DormLife VoxBox and it is themed around all the different kinds of things a college girl might want or need! Look at all of the stuff in this box!  It is packed to the brim, and with a large variety of things, so let's get into it. This is the Not Your Mother's Naturals Tapioca and Rice Dry Shampoo.  I loooove dry shampoo and use it on the daily, but personally, I am very loyal to Batiste brand.  I have tried a couple others and not really been impressed, but Not Your Mother's is usually a very nice brand, so I was super excited to give this a shot. ...

Nadine West: May

I signed up for a new subscription service!  I know... So surprising. This one is Nadine West; it is a clothing subscription service, but unlike many other similar services it is only $9.98 per month!  The items in the package tend to run from around $10 to $30, but if you choose to keep anything then the price of shipping will be deducted from whatever you don't return!  It also comes with a prepaid shipping label and whatever you don't like you put back in the bag it came in, cover the old shipping label, and stick it in the mail!  Easy as that! Sorry, I couldn't wait to open it to get a really good picture...  But isn't it wrapped super cute? When you sign up you take a style quiz picking examples of clothes and jewelry you like and how often you would like to receive them, as well as your preference on colors and patterns.  Each month you should receive at least one clothing item, as well as two or three other accessories! They nailed my...

Packing List

If you all have been around here for a while you know that I used to post packing lists all the time... Like, once a month almost!  I looked at my "Universal Packing List" I had listed one day and realized it was in desperate need of an update definitely NOT universal!  I recently posted a college packing list, but that still isn't really the same thing as just a vacation packing list!  I needed a new one of those!  And that, my darlings, is how we arrived back here, at my original inspiration for creating my blog, the packing list. This one is in no way "universal," but it encompasses a lot of things that I like to have and make me comfortable while I'm on vacation.  I dan't pack all of this every time, and to be honest if I do pack it all there is always something I end up not using, but I was happy to have it regardless.  So keep in mind, these are just my suggestions! Toiletries These are my favorite things to pack, I always pack so muc...
