Dirty Myrtle 2017: Day 8


8:00
It's the last day 😢 The intention this morning was to get up and go for a sunrise walk on the beach, but we were both dead tired so that sunrise walk turned into just a walk, which I am honestly ok with!  


Rockin' last night's lipstick...

But we found seashells and sharks teeth!

Bye beach...

10:00
In about an hour we cleaned up from our walk, got ready, finished packing, and loaded the car to head home… Pretty impressive timing though! How about a room tour before we leave?
This was the entryway 

Which led into the kitchen

And then the living room!  We literally barely moved from these recliners this week

Then there was our bedroom.

And the interesting bathroom... It had one sink connected to a room with a shower and toilet, and one with just a toilet.

See what I mean?

And then it was like a hallway into our bedroom!

And our kinda sad pool we never really used, we used another hotel's...

Now we are headed to Paula Deen's for breakfast! 

11:45
Lunch was good, but breakfast is the best… 


We had breakfast casserole, bananas foster french toast, biscuits and gravy, the best bacon in the world, fried potatoes, and pigs in a blanket! 

But the cinnamon roll they give you is still the best

After lunch we decided to walk around Broadway at the Beach for a bit (and maybe walk off some of our lunch…) 

But now sadly, it is time to leave 😢 

2:30
Just stopped at a rest stop and are switching drivers… I can't handle anymore! 



6:00
We made it to about half an hour from home and were starving and running out of gas, so we had to make another stop! 
We ate a quick dinner at Sonic, filled up the car and are about to get back on the road.

8:45
Well I've been home a little while now… It is sad that the trip we have planned and pined over is already gone, but it is good to be home. We had an amazing time together just chilling, shopping, chatting, and catching up on sleep! Our condo and the owner were amazing, and we couldn't have asked for better. The food was great, and most of all, the beach was amazing.  

But as I said, it is also good to be home. Sadly, there were some scary things that happened to occur on this vacation as well. During the weekend there were multiple shootings in Myrtle Beach. Though they were not immediately close to us, they were on 4th Avenue and we were on 76th, which is close enough. We also realized later that we had driven through the exact location of one of the shootings only hours before it occurred. Our old lady ways of being in early paid off for us, but others weren't so lucky. I don't mean to end on such a sad note, but no matter your age you should take this as a learning experience and always be careful and cautious of your surroundings. We were extremely careful and still ended up too close for comfort. Let our thoughts and prayers be with all those who were hurt or who had to witness it. Peace and love to you all❤️ 


I would like to think you all who read and came on this vacation with us. I so enjoy relaying my days to you all in this fashion, so I hope you enjoy it as well! I hope you are having wonderful summers wherever you are! Much love!

Review: Etsy Planner Stickers!

I decided back at the beginning of November to reach out to a few Etsy planner sticker shops in hopes that they would like to partner up with me for a review!  There were a few shops that truly stood out to me, which sent me stickers, and I have been truly enjoying using them!  Though the shops did send me these stickers for free, the opinions are completely my own. Lilly Top This sticker package was from Lilly Top.  She sent me five full sheets (from left to right): The New Year Party stickers , Spring stickers , Build a Tree Christmas stickers , Heart Check Marks in Solid Colors , and the Notebook Stickers with words .  She also sent me her small winter sampler with a ton of cute Christmas-y designs, and a small two sticker sample of more of the notebooks.  Overall, I have really enjoyed her stickers!  They have a nice matte look, so they are easy to write on.  I also noticed that if you are willing to pay a bit more, she will make certain s...

Homemade Beauty: Ice Facial

It may not sound very pleasant, but running an ice cube over your face has a ton of benefits for your skin! They will help to smooth your complexion by combating fat cells, easing wrinkles, fighting acne, and promoting blood circulation that will help heal past blemishes!  Be sure to  wrap the cubes  in a paper towel, or a baggie  because applying them directly to your skin can cause delicate blood vessels to break For an added  benefits to this  treatment, try freezing your cubes with watermelon, lemon, or rose!

Let's Talk...

I feel so bad, I have been such a flake with posting recently and the past month is when I should have been really focused on getting out content, because.... My summer classes started this week. And they are intense. Like, more so than I expected and I'm only a week in. Also, I just got my Summer schedule for the daycare I work at, and instead of my normal 9:30-5:30, I was switched to  6:00-12:30 ...  That is a huge difference, I've never gotten up that early in my life!  It is a lot better in some ways because I now have my full days free, but it's a difficult sleep schedule to get used to.   As a result, I've been spending my mornings at work, and my evenings doing homework, or attempting to have a social life...  This is my last Summer before college after all, so I want to have fun!  But it just makes things more difficult when I need to be in bed early for work, balance homework, and then there is this blog. I love having this...
