About Me


Hi, my name is Bethany!

 I am 22 years old, and just graduated from Appalachian State University!  I majored in Middle Grades Education with a concentration in English and Social Studies.  I am currently working in an Afterschool Care program, as well as tutoring and substituting until I find a full time teaching position.  I have one younger brother who is in middle school, and I am a very family oriented person.  I am also currently in a relationship with a wonderful man who attended Appalachian as well!  Some of my passions include baking cupcakes, packing, essential oils, and blogging, and I am absolutely crazy about Disney!

 I created this blog in 2012 and at the time, I was a high school sophomore ecstatic about going to the beach and in need of an outlet for projecting that excitement.  Since its creation, the goals of this blog have slightly changed and matured as I have.  Most of my posts are now focused around my life, including travel, as well as special events and my daily activities. I also enjoy posting about baking, drinks, and other recipes, as well as makeup, subscription boxes, essential oils, packing, and planning. If you can't tell, it's a pretty eclectic mix, but writing about each of these things truly sparks joy in my life!

Disney 2016: Day 10

8:20 a.m. Good morning everyone! We are currently on our way to Animal Kingdom... ...our second favorite park! Today I am wearing a Lion King tank top from Rue 21, athletic shorts from Nike, Tevas, my FitBit and Magic Band, and my hair in a Tinkerbell bun! 1:00 p.m. Just finished lunch at Flame Tree Barbecue! It was a quick service, and we loved it! We only got two plates of food, but we still couldn't finish it it was so much! We had ribs, pulled pork barbecue, barbecue chicken, fries, onion rings, baked beans, and coleslaw, and that was just two plates!! I really wish I'd taken a picture, because it is one of the best Disney meals I've ever had! Since this morning we rode a few of the rides here, but most importantly, we rode the Safari!  It is honestly the best, I'd ride it over and over.  You can see what is in these pictures, every animal doesn't really need a caption! This one was my favorite, I love seeing the lions!  And these w...

Dirty Myrtle 2017: Days 2 and 3

Day 2 8:55 Good morning ladies!  I'm awake, my air is kinky and gross, my clothes don't really match, and I honestly don't really care because I'm taking a walk to go get doughnuts for breakfast!  I have honestly never been to Dunkin Donuts, and would choose Kristy Kreme with their icing waterfall any day, buuuuuut I want doughnuts and these are only a 5 minute walk away.   I don't have   these kind of lovely opportunities at home… 10:00 Kaitlyn was happy with my little surprise this morning😄   11:20 We made it to the beach! After a breakfast of super healthy doughnuts we sunscreened up and made the trek to the ocean! 4:00 It's been a while since I checked in, but we truly haven't done that much today!  We went in around 1:00 for lunch and cooked some yummy pasta salad with veggies.  And then around 3ish we came back out to the beach! It's been very windy this evening, I can't eve n wear my sunglass...

Dirty Myrtle 2017: Days 4 and 5

Day 4 11:40 Well… I can't really say good morning now can I? We slept in today and then I had a super exciting breakfast of pop tarts! Now we are just sitting on the beach, which will basically be the extent of our day! 1:30 We decided to go in for lunch about 1:30, but we just had leftovers, nothing too exciting! But tonight we are going to a place called Art Burger and Sushi Bar, and I am kind of crazy excited! Until then we will just be chilling on the beach and in the lazy river (that isn't ours) 😅 7:50 Made it to dinner!   My outfit: Shirt is from American Eagle, shorts are from Target, and bracelets are Alex and Ani   Kaitlyn's outfit: Her shirt is from Old Navy and   shorts are from Target!   Check out how cute these menus are? We ordered The Dahli burger, which had fried pickles and avocado ranch on it, a shrimp tempura roll, and a fried chicken roll with mac and cheese and BBQ sauce! It is insanely good, and hone...
