Etsy has an abundance of treats!

I need to get a job stat! Otherwise, I'm going to spend all my money on pretty things from Etsy. Here are a few of my favorites (I'm loving yellows and golds right now; can you tell?): I wish that I had a birthday every month. I'm...
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...
Treats, Treats, and More Treats

The easiest way for me to fill you in on what's been going on with my life lately is to show you the treats that I've...
A Pretty Dress
I'm feeling pretty uninspired in the health and beauty department right now. I have a few products to review (including Karen's Botanicals Exfoliating Cleansing Grains and Dr Bronner's Lavendar Coconut Hair Conditioner & Style Creme), but I'd like to use them a few more times before posting my thoughts and feelings about them. I could talk about more interesting articles that I've been reading, but I haven't really come across any more that are worth sharing. So, here's a dress that I want:
Modcloth has some of the cutest dresses, and I kind of need this...
5 products that I can’t wait to try

It's no secret that my cabinets have been overflowing with health and beauty products lately, but a girl can dream...can't she? Also, pay close attention to all the sweet ingredients you're about to encounter. The Answer's PMS Clear Facial Mask- I've yet to find anything that completely gets rid of pre-period breakouts. I guess this stuff could be the ticket. Ingredients- French green clay, Fullers Earth clay, green tea, and papaya extract.
I might be hoarding health and beauty products.

Moving sucks, but I think that it might suck a little less for me than it does for most people. My possessions are pretty much limited to clothing, accessories, miscellaneous craft items, and a lot of beauty products. I realize what kind of person that must make me seem like, but I can't muster the energy to care. Our bedroom furniture is Kirby's. Our living room furniture is Kirby's. Even our dishes belong to Kirby. I am using Kirby's computer to type this post. We did buy our television together, so I guess that's something...but moving...
Hair Business and Vacation Purchases

My beach vacation has been pretty fly thus far. I haven't spent much time at the beach (because of the nasty water and nasty tar balls), but our Condo is sufficiently sweet. There's a lazy river; how cool is that?! I've been avoiding shampoo altogether this week and using baking soda in its place. I've been conditioning with Aveda Rosemary Mint Conditioner (and my hair has never looked better): My mom bought me some Time & Again Organics hand cream today at a cute little shop. It was seven dollars, and it smells like a dream:
The...This may be ridiculous, but…
I think Fitflops are so cool! They're not entirely aesthetically pleasing, and they're not super cheap (from fifty to eighty dollars), but I can wear them while grocery shopping in place of ankle weights and not feel ashamed of myself. I might just ask Kirby to hook me up with some of these for my birthday. In case you care: the benefits of Fitflops p.s. I have a feeling that the superbuff girl in the benefits picture didn't achieve that figure by walking in Fitflops. That's a model...
Today was a day for buying things.

I ran some errands with my sister today and ended up making a few purchases. Burt's Bees Herbal Insect Repellent- I've been meaning to try this for a while now. I always forget about until I'm at a cookout and the only stuff available is Off! I usually just suck it up and let the bugs bite me. Living Foods Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil- This is a definite upgrade from the jar that I just finished (which had a picture of shrimp on the label, and was found tucked between the olive and vegetable oils in Walmart).
The Greenest List I’ve Ever Made

I've compiled a list of ten natural, green, and/or organic things that I wouldn't mind having. My birthday's in August. Har har. 1) Demeter Naturals Mimosa Perfume- Demeter Naturals fragrances are made from pure essential oils and have no Phthalates (put simply, Phthalates are chemicals that are intended to make scent last longer that are easily absorbed by our skin).
2) LunaPanties-Basically, they have organic cotton pads sewn into them. The extra liner shown in the picture is for days with heavier flows. I could easily make something like this at home, but I love that...Advertise With Us
