Link to This Works: Stretch Mark Oil Review

Remember the treats that I talked about in one of my recent posts? Well, I decided that it was time to review one of the health and beauty related products from that post. This Works: Stretch Mark Oil is kind of rocking my world right now. Before I get to the reviewing business, I should probably make it known that I've never used stretch mark oils or vitamin E oils as directed. Most directions suggest using these oils five or six times a day to achieve optimal results. My few lingering stretch marks left over from puberty don't...

Link to Birthdays and Boyfriends

My 21st birthday was last week, and I was admittedly a little bummed out that I wouldn't be spending it with all of my close friends and family, but Kirby, being the swell guy that he is, made sure that it was a lovely day from start to finish. It started with birthday donuts and flowers, and it ended with birthday cuddling and Arrested Development (in between were birthday lunch at a delicious cafe and birthday sushi for dinner ). I'm a lucky girl. Damaging my hair never felt so classy. Honestly, this straightener has been kinder to my hair than...

Tea Tree Oil is a pretty effective deodorant.

Link to Tea Tree Oil is a pretty effective deodorant.

 

I've been swiping a little tea tree oil under my arms for the past few days with a cotton swab instead of using deodorant, and I think I'm going to make a habit of it. The strong scent (which is pretty reminiscent of licorice) fades within ten minutes, and it keeps my armpits fresh until nightfall. I was a pretty huge fan of the homemade deodorant that I'd been using, but I feel about as okay with  putting tea tree oil on my skin as I do baking soda, and tea tree...

We’re still getting settled.

Remember my post about silly animal paintings? Danielle wanted me to paint her two sweet cats, Chowder and Maxine, shortly after we moved into the new house. I tackled the project in my first little bit of free time: Next in line are my friends Taylor (who has an adorable dog named Nellie) and Katie (who owns two beautiful dogs named Sam and Mia). I'm pretty excited; dogs are my favorite. Several health and beauty related posts are on the way, I promise. Between looking for jobs and the frequent trips to target/marshalls/kroger/walmart, I haven't had much spare time for...

Link to Moving Time and Fake Tattoos

The next few days are going to be incredibly hectic.  I'll be carrying lots of heavy things, driving nine hours, and then carrying more heavy things.  I probably won't have enough time to pee, much less post. So, this is me saying that I haven't fallen into an unattended manhole or suddenly become opposed to blogging. I'll be back in less than a week, hopefully. Don't stop reading labels... or something inspirational like that. Before you go, look at these pictures from an impromptu fake tattoo photo shoot that took place at my dad's house...

I’m kind of a worrywart.

Link to I’m kind of a worrywart.

As someone who refuses to watch the news, who abhors meeting new people, and who cringes at the mention of 2012, I can honestly say that I'm one of the most fearful people that I know. I've never cared for that flaw in my personality, and I've recently started to hate it.  So, logically, I'm going to something about it.  I'd guess that about 97% of the things that I worry about cannot be prevented, changed or stopped by me. That's ridiculous, and it's also really bad for my health. Did you know that people who worry about things that...
