Vacation Day 1

If you read my blog regularly you know I recently went on vacation to Long Beach Island, NJ.
I wanted to share photos and tell you about my vacation. 

The first day of our vacation actually started pretty late. 
We are both taking a Microbiology class at a local college to lighten up our load for the fall and we had an exam AND lab that day, so we had class until 12. 
We ended up getting there around 4ish, and just laid around doing nothing but relaxing and getting settled into our home for the week.

Crossing over the Causeway (it's the only way on the island) 
It's my favorite because I know I finally made it!


I realize this photo is blurry but that is on side of the island and those little towers are the cities of LBI.


This is the first time we rented this place and I was so happy we did! 
It was all beach themed, my favorite. 
This was our room for the week. I absolutely love how there is so many windows. I hate to be in any room that is dark, I get real anxious. Weird I know.


Our adorable bathroom on the first floor.
I'm not sure you can tell, but there is little shelves in the bathtub where you put your shampoo and soap, I absolutely loved that. Also the tiling on the wall was so cute.


This was our adorable living room with plenty of seating. 
Again, with the windows and lighting, I loved it.


How adorable is this fire place with the sail boat?!
I absolutely love the decorations, I tried looking underneath the blue candle holders, but unfortunately they took off the prices. Boo.


The pelicans are so cute! I want them as well. 


Our tiny but well occupied kitchen. Had so many amenities.  I love how everything is white.




How cute is all of their decorations?! 
I absolutely love the chair holding the candles, oh and the sailboat. 


This was the guys room. lol. It was where my fiance's friends stayed.


A cute upstairs bathroom.
I loved the door!
It was actually inside the wall and you slide it closed!



I know, boring picture to end on, but this girl is tired. 
Had to stay later at work today so I was kind of bummed.

Goodnight

Thanks for reading!

Haulin' in Long Beach Island

I'd like to share some of the things I purchased while I was on vacation in Long Beach Island. 
I figured while I was unpacking I'd take pictures of everything so I could put it away. 
This will be picture heavy, I'm sorry!

I only picked up one thing from Atlantic City when we spent the day there..
Does anyone else notice the difference in price at Juicy Couture? I feel like they were really discounted or they were just having a sale, I'm not sure.
 

I picked up adorable little fish earrings.


All their jewelry was $25, marked down from $48 to $34.99 to $25. I was happy with my purchase.


Everything else was purchased in LBI.
My wonderful fiance picked this up for me, a TY Hello Kitty. :)
She's going in my car with me!


Some new sunglasses. I love these, they fit well.


Bow & starfish.


LBI is known for their crabs, and crabbing, so I picked up these with starfish, and I already wore the little crabs, adorable. :)


I'm not sure what is with me and blue and green, but I love the combo. 
I also picked up this sailor knot bracelet. It's so cute, and was only $1.99!



When my best friends came to visit at LBI, the one showed me an adorable little shop that is all homemade items and I stumbled upon these. They're so cute!

Glitter eyeliner,  very cute colors! It's like a green and teal with some silver. 
Reminded me of a Urban Decay one. I've been wearing this over a blue shadow that I used as eyeliner and it really makes your eyes pop.


Yay for Essie nail polishes. One store at LBI sells discount makeup/jewelry/purses and I picked up these Essie nail polishes for $6.00 each. I feel like I need more solid colors, I have A LOT of glitter nail polishes, or polishes with glitter in them, not just basic colors.



I picked up two nail polishes from the Minnie Mouse collection, the one on the right has hearts as glitter, I LOVE it. (again with me buying glitter nail polishes, this one is justifiable, it has hearts as glitter in it, and I've been wanting it!) lol.



I also picked up a new Dior mascara, it's my absolute favorite mascara ever! It's only $15.99 at the store. 
I also picked up this Urban Decay palette originally $36 for $20.99!
I swear I'll buy any Urban Decay palette or Too Faced palette, I love their shadows. :)





I also picked up these Yoga shorts for $9.99 for working out.


This is my most exciting purchase. It's a dress you can wear 7 ways and I've been wanting one for SO long. Expect they're so much money, guess how much I scored it for? $19.99!


I also picked up this Mango body soap, smells so good, and homemade!





Anyway, that's my haul from LBI. I hope you enjoyed!

My 4th of July

4th of July was pretty uneventful for me.
I had the day off, so that was nice. :)
My Fiance and I had to babysit his mother's dog. 
His name is Odie (I like to call him Mr. Odie Dodie). 
He had a very painful surgery and needs help when he walks. 
So since everyone else was working we spent the day babysitting. :)

We ordered out to Cracker Barrel and sat in the house watching movies. 
Later on in the night we had fun playing with sparklers. hehe.



My outfit for the day.





At night time I played with sparklers. :)




I'm pretty sure we took 1,000,987+ photos for these to come out right. lol.
It was still fun.

Thanks everyone who left me sweet comments and welcoming me back, you guys are the reason I keep blogging!

Thanks for reading!

Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July. I'm actually posting from my phone right now. We're sitting here relaxing and thought I'd share some exciting purchases I picked up today.
In case you didn't know, Cargo Cosmetics is on clearance at Sephora's inside JCPenney. I'm not sure if they are going out of business or they're redoing their packaging. Anyway I picked up both these items for $17 each.

4th of July Nails

I promise I'm still alive!
I've been so busy with work and school. 
I just got back from vacation.
I have like 20 minutes before I have to head out the door for work.
I can't wait to share all of my photos from the past few weeks. 
I promise I didn't forget about this blog!

I thought I'd shared my nails I did for the 4th of July. I used the Sally Hansen nail strips and painted my ring fingers gold.
