Labor Day Weekend Outfits

Happy Thursday!

Today I am sharing the outfits I wore to Atlantic City for Labor Day weekend. 
We didn't book until last minute so I didn't have much time to plan out my outfits, but I tried my best!

My beach attire for the weekend.

After the beach I got a little more dressed up for dinner and walking the boardwalk.

Our Labor Day Weekend 2015 in Pictures

Happy Tuesday!
Happy Labor Day!
Today I'm sharing tidbits of our amazingly fun weekend. We really wanted to go to a beach for the weekend, so we decided to go to Atlantic City. I got out of work early on Friday and off we went. 

Friday:

I am still using my Mrs. bag I got from the Christmas Tree Shop. I love this bag. It's sturdy and it was only $8.99. Plus I'm a newly wed, so why can't I?
 Saturday:

Hey, it's me, with no makeup.
This is my "no makeup" face. I just got out of the shower and we're heading to the beach.

The beach was packed! This was our pretty view for the next 3 hours. 

This is my mani for the weekend. I'll be sharing my mani & pedi later this week. I am actually really proud of it. :)

Feeling a little crispy, so we left the beach. 

We headed back to the hotel, showered, and decided to walk the boardwalk. It's literally our favorite thing to do in AC. We stopped somewhere new to try Turkey Hill soft ice cream. I have never had their soft ice cream, and it was yummy!
My hubby got fried oreos and he let me try one, maybe two. They were delicious! I've never had them before!

This was us just relaxing on a bench "people watching" does anyone else do this?! Or are we just weirdo's? Haha 

I ended my night with a Lush bath, the only Lush bath of the weekend. 

Sunday:

Sunday we got up super early (5:30) and headed to our favorite farmers market/flea market. We were exhausted after, so we took a nap. Then we went to the beach for a hour. It will be our last beach trip of 2015. :( I can't complain though, this summer was absolutely amazing. One of the best summer's ever.  



Monday: 

Before we left we decided to walk the board walk one more time and have lunch. Of course I had to get more fried oreo's, so we shared an order.  

On the way home we decided to go to the Jersey Shore Premium Outlets. The only reason we went there was because it's the nearest Burberry outlet. So we did some shopping.
The outlet isn't as big as the Philadelphia one. I probably wouldn't go back unless I wanted to go to Burberry again. 

I'm SO exhausted. Today was a busy day at work for me, so I am going to take a bath and relax for the rest of the evening. 

Have a great night everyone!

The Body Shop Haul

Happy Thursday!

I am busy packing for this upcoming weekend, which I am super excited for!
Follow me on snapchat to see my adventures:

I bought a couple of things from The Body Shop that I wanted to share. 

I am probably not suppose to be sharing this, but my hubby wanted this set. Has he used it yet? No. Which means I will steal it from him. :)

These body butters were on clearance for $5 each. After I shower I always put on lotion because my skin is so dry so I like to stock up when I can. 
I believe these were from their Holiday line. 
I love Body Shop's body butters's. They're thick without being oily, which is hard to find. 

The scents I picked up are Glazed Apple and Vanilla Brulee. 

I picked up this Spa Fit body scrub which has a wonderful citrus scent. I have to say I have been using this for about a month now and I absolutely love it. This has been a savor for the summer months when my skin is peeling! It smells absolutely delicious and clean. Not only does it exfoliate but it's also a soap, 2 in 1!This is a must buy product. It is kind of expensive though.I paid $22 for it. You can purchase it here
I'd also like to mention the packaging. The top has a super seal around it, keeping it fresh (I'm assuming) and it's a glass container. Love! I can definitely re-use this. I plan to do a separate post on this product! 

This will probably be my last post before Labor Day, so have a safe and fun Labor Day!!

Wedding Wednesday: Honeymoon Day 4 in Negril Jamaica, Couples Resort

Happy Wedding Wednesday!

Today's post will mainly consist of pictures, I am busy prepping for this upcoming Labor Day weekend. 
Click on the following links to see other days from our honeymoon:


Just another day enjoying the beach. I brought out my crotchet cover up from Marshalls and got a ton of compliments on it. Who would have thought? It was only $24.99 too! 

My hubby just stylin'. He got his fedora from the local craft market in Jamaica. He's sporting his new Ray Bans that he got on clearance. He loves them. I love this picture of him, this is my true hubby. :)

I completely forgot to pack SPF for us (give me a break, I packed the day after our wedding) so we had to purchase some there... $25.50 US dollars later! 

As we were eating lunch this bird sat near us. 

Lunch at the buffet. All of the fruit on the table is locally grown. 



Tapioca pudding in a coconut!

Every day we would get an itinerary for the following day. Similar to the cruises we've been on. I really enjoyed that because we would plan out our days. 

Sunset on our balcony. 

This night we were patiently waiting for our scheduled night time snorkeling, but they ended up canceling it because of choppy water. 

The night ended up to be amazing though because we went to their beach party. The food and entertainment was amazing. Plus we met an amazing couple who were also newly weds. 






It was a fun night and a fun day. 
No problem and no worries. :)

Have a great night!

Julie G Candy Shoppe Colors Review & Swatch - Pixi Stick

Happy Tuesday!

Today I am reviewing the Julie G nail polish from her Candy Shoppe Colors, Jelly Bean Finish in Pixi Stick. I bought a couple of these after watching her YouTube video on them. I was really excited to try them, but was let down. The nail polish is only $3.99 so it's not a huge loss. And why I don't like them is a matter of preference, so you may like them!

Pixi Stick:

I decided just to do my toes. My poor nails are still recovering from the gel manicure I had on my wedding day. Also, on my right foot my poor big toe was stepped on from dancing(not complaining!) so my toe nail broke and I'm still trying to properly shape it. 


The color is absolutely beautiful, but I don't like two things about the nail polish:
1.) It's very opaque, needed a couple of coats for this.
2.) It dries almost matte, so I topped it off with Essie's top coat to give it a bit of more gloss.  
Like I said before, it's a matter of preference. Maybe I should try the others, it could just be the color. If I find anything different I will report back! I do love Julie G's nail polishes! I love when she comes out with collections. She was the first YouTuber I ever subscribed too 7+ years ago and was super excited when she came out with her own nail polish line.


Also, a little side note: I brought out this guy today. Pumpkin Pecan Waffle. I bought it last year. (I'm trying real hard to use up all my candles so I can buy new ones!)
My apartment smells like pumpkin right now. :)

Have a great night!
