Hello! Yes, yes I have not posted in a while....like always (That's terrible, a blog is about posting....oops!). Anyway I'm back at my grandparents (I was there about a month and a half ago) and wanted to check in. I'm currently making a few crafts like making square knot bracelets and cooking. Remember to always comment and suggest ideas for what you would like me to post. Thanks for being my readers!

Travel Toiletries Bag Items
Hey! Okay so I know I have not posted in forever but I have been really busy. We are currently redoing our whole house so we are starting to move out for a while. Also I am traveling in a couple days so I am packing for that also. I wanted to share with you guys the things I am packing in my toiletries bags. So right now I have two little toiletry bags. One is slightly bigger than the other the smaller one hold my few big items. The bigger one holds my smaller items but there are many of them. First the smaller bag.
It's A Ten: I love it. Great for dry hair. I use it almost every morning.

Jumping Juniper (From Lush): I also adore it. Great for oily hair, I know your thinking wait before she said she had a product for dry hair, now oily? But it's because half my hair is super dry and half in really oily. Anyway this is a fabulous shampoo bar.

Nueutrogena naturals: My everyday moisturizer, not my favorite. It makes me sweat on my face.

Colgate Plax Peppermint Mouthwash: I have never used it but I had it in travel size so I packed it...lol.

P.S. That is not actually what mine looks like but it was the closest I could find.
I hope you guys enjoyed this and I will try to post the other toiletries bag ASAP but until then.....

For All You Techies Out There.....
Hello! Today I wanted to post my thoughts about my computer. I wanted to because yesterday I was having a little problem and it got me thinking that maybe you would want to know about this computer, or at least what I think.
My computer is the ASUS x22e. Overall I think it is a nice computer but it is definitely not the best. It is one of those things where there are not huge problems but just a bunch of small things that annoy you. It has to update quite a bit and the updating is not the fastest process. I don't really know what else to say! Don't just listen to me if you are interested in this computer because I am really not very techie at all. Try other websites like the ASUS site which I believe is: http://www.asus.com.

Late Nights, Sweet dreams...
Hey this is going to be super fast. It is 10:25 pm, AKA past when I usually go to sleep. I am sitting here on my bed typing away when I should be getting ready for bed. I wanted to share my nighttime routine today but as you can tell the day part of today is gone so I will be posting tomorrow (I hope). Please please please comment about my posts whenever you want to. This site is fine to comment on because I know some people don't like to comment unless they know a lot about the site so i'm just putting that out there. Also I wanted to do a review of my laptop tomorrow but I don't know if I can get around to that then. I hope you all have wonderful nights! Sleep tight and have sweet dreams!

More Lush
Hey everyone! (Who is everyone??!! Am I writing to myself?!) You know when I posted my first real post and it was about lush? Well I decided that since I did not finish that post then, I would finish it now. (also random-ish thing: There is this awesome website where there are tons of DIY lush products.The website is: mariasself.com or search DIY lush products. :)) So back to where I was....Some of my favorite lush products!
Rose Queen:
Rose queen is a VERY...VERY..VE----you get it, rosy bath bomb. It has tons of petals in it that come out and smells absolutely delightful. I personally really liked this bomb but for some people this might be overwhelming. The scent is strong and don't walk away because of it's size. It is one of the smaller bombs but that's okay because of how much there is inside. I do recommend this product for people who like perfumey scents. Picture of it below.
Okay so now the next thing.
Buche De Noel:
This product is a limited edition christmas time product so you cannot buy it now but I did want to mention it. I do have to say it looks kinda gross and it does not smell particularly good but it really makes your skin super soft. apply it to your face and just rub it on in circular motions like you might apply your moisturizer. Then you don't have to wait at all, you just rinse it all off and then dab your face with a towel. I love this product but it is hard to use it up really fast so I do end up wasting a lot of it. You do have to use it up within about 2-3 months. I use it about 3-4 times a week but most people use it everyday. (Remember, if you return 5 empty pots from lush you get a free product!) Picture below.
Sexy Peel:
Sexy Peel is a soap from lush and it is all about zest. It is a wake me up soap and is very citrus-y. I love this and it is a soap I use for my body in the shower all the time and I could not be happier with it. I recommend this to anyone who loves to start their day fresh and awake (who doesn't??). Picture below.
Last but not least......
Twilight (shower gel):
Again this is also limited edition for Christmas time but is still one of my favorites. It smells like lavender and chamomile even though I usually do not like that scent. It is purple and has a little glitter in it. I know the glitter part sounds bad but it isn't super glittery and you can hardly tell when its on your skin. Just rub it all over so it lathers up then rinse it off. I love this gel! Picture below.
P.S. Twilight shower gel has a bath bomb called twilight that smells the same. They are like a pair but the bath bomb is not limited edition!

I'm Back!! (I know I have not posted lately)
Hey! Today I just wanted to talk about random things. I am going to talk about a lot of things like beauty, food, etc. so I'm just putting this under musings and recommendations. First I wanted to talk about a website for buying beauty products. In fact the word beauty is in the website name. It's called Beauty.com. The website has everything from body scrubs to face toners. I think it's really useful but the products are definitely on the expensive side, at least for someone like me who does not purchase super expensive makeup. Well, I do like this site and I think you should check it out.
Lately I have been loving these snacks (foods?) and I wanted to tell you about them so you could love them too! The first food are snapea crisps. They are so totally delicious and healthy and I go through them like.....like, uhh....I can't think of an analogy, whatever, I go through them FAST is what I mean. The next snack I'm in love with are the brookside dark chocolate pomegranate thingies. I also got a blueberry one but I have not tried that yet so I don't know if they taste as amazing as the pomegranate ones. The little chocolate seeds are like an explosion of heaven. Chocoholics will definitely love them as I do.
Brookside Dark Chocolate Pomegranate:
I will post more when I can. Don't forget to comment and tell me if you think this was helpful! :)

Groggy Days
You know those groggy days when you wake up and feel gross and sweaty? And when you take a shower but it does not help? That's me today. Although to top it off for me I have the hiccups. Well I'm hoping as the day goes on I will feel a little better. I hope your day is not as groggy as mine. G2G eat breakfast!
