My Summer Must-Haves!!

Ahhh, summertime! My favorite time of the year!! There's nothing better than warm weather, and days spent laying by the pool soaking up that sweet, sweet sunshine!  I thought I'd take the time today to show y'all some of my favorite summer must-haves.  Basically, what I take to the pool! So, let's get started!

Hawaiian Tropic After Sun Lotion

 This stuff is a God-send.  Not even joking, it is officially my go-to lotion.  Not only does it smell AMAZING (like lime and coconut), but it also leaves me SO soft!  My skin gets super dry when I lay out or am in the pool a ton, so this stuff helps tremendously.  It's not greasy at all, and it's thick, so it really sinks into your skin! Needless to say, I'm going to get like 4 bottles before the summer ends so I can use it all year round!

PINK Beach Weekend 

 Every girl loves to smell amazing, even if they're just laying by the pool! I know tanning oil smells like heaven, but I love having a little something extra.  Even when you're not at the pool, this spray is the perfect light, summer scent, and is an appropriate scent for a night out or for a day at work! I snagged this at the semi-annual sale at VS for $4.83! win!!

Hawaiian Tropic Dark Tanning Oil

 After I have my base tan established, this is all I use when I lay out.  It smells amazing, and surprisingly, for being an oil, doesn't make me that greasy AT ALL.  I have been using this FOREVER. It's always a staple every summer at the pool. 

Essie's Boom Boom Room

 I had been looking for this color EVERYWHERE and could not find it.  One day I walked into Target, and it was my lucky day.  I got the very last one, AND I got it for 10% off because there was nail polish all over the cap! This is the PERFECT pink for summer, and it looks awesome with a tan! It takes a little more coats than most Essie polishes, but I don't mind.  I've already re-painted my nails 3 times with this color. 

VS SPF 24 Body Lotion

 This was my first year using this product, and I fell in love.  It has this great ingredient: Tahitian Monoi Oil, which makes it feel amazing on the skin. Not like a typical sunscreen at all!  It protects really well, the only downside of it, is that it is not waterproof, so you have to make sure you re-apply.  It smells a tad bit like self-tanner, but I don't mind that smell at all, so I love it.

 Olay Fresh Effects Wipes

I am in love with these makeup remover wipes.  They're very cooling, and do a great job at removing everything.  I use them when I'm at the pool quite often, just to wipe the hot away. If you're spending all day at the pool or beach I definitely recommend bringing a pack of these. Just don't forget to re-apply you're sunscreen afterwards!

So those are the basics of what I always have with me in my beach bag.  Of course I also always bring my iPod, so I can listen to music as I'm soaking up the sun, and a book too.  Let me know what y'all keep in your beach bags! I always love finding new products to try out! 

I hope you all are taking advantage of the end of your summer! It is crazy that school will be starting in just a few short weeks! Get out and live it up while you still have the chance! 

Stay Sweet!

Big News!!

First off, I would like to thank each and every one of you for praying and wishing me luck throughout this whole job process! After weeks of interviews and days of waiting I finally got the call! I am officially a bra specialist at Victoria's Secret! Basically I work with customers in the fitting rooms helping them find the perfect bra in the right size! I will also be teaching my team selling techniques that they can try with the customers to provide the best shopping experience, and turning every customer into a sale! 

I am so excited. This is a huge step up from Justice. 

I have been with the Justice company for the past 5 years! Honestly, they're a great company to work for. It's always been a fun environment, but I must admit, it was a lot more fun when I was 16.. Now that I'm 20-something I feel like I needed a change to something more grown up. 

This post is going no where. Haha I am so happy and excited I can hardly think. 

I just wanted to let all of you know that I got the job, and am very thankful for all I your support! 

Oh - and if any of you have ever worked at Victorias Secret PLEASE give me ideas of outfits to put together. All black everything, but I want to be creative! 

Stay Sweet!

Holy Cow.

Holy cow is basically the only way I know how to describe this post. I absolutely can not believe that it has been a year already that I have moved in with my boyfriend. In a way it seems like I've been here forever, but it also feels like I just moved in a week ago!  

I can honestly say that this has been the best year of my life. So much has happened, and I have grown so much as a person. I am more in love than I have ever been and I wouldn't change a single thing. Having my own little family has been a challenge and a blessing all in one. I have learned so much responsibility, and am so thankful for all of the things I have gotten to experience since being here. 

Well it's time for me to head off to work, I just felt like giving y'all a little update. I hope y'all had a great 4th and continue to have an amazing summer! 

Xoxo
