I'm still here, I promise!

Blah, no post in over a week, I fail. Sorry guys, I have been really busy getting ready to go back to school and doing last minute reading and such. I played paintball yesterday in the BLAZING heat...with all those layers, that was NOT a good idea haha. But, it was fun. I am still sore from it though. Anyway, just letting you know that I did not die or anything, just super busy. I will be back soon!

Favorite Drugstore Skincare Essentials?

I used to have really bad acne, I tried various drugstore brand products, and some Clinique too, but the only things that seemed to work were things that my dermatologist prescribed for me.

Now, I don't have such severe acne, just the occasional breakout, but I do have bad acne scarring. I think it's time for me to give drugstore brands a try again. The thing is, when I go to the drugstore to buy things, I am so overwhelmed and not sure what to buy.

So, my question for you is, what are your favorite drugstore skincare essentials (cleanser, moisturizer, etc.) and why? Help me narrow down my search haha :)

If it helps, my skin is pretty sensitive, gets very dry in the winter and more oily in the summer. I have natural redness in my face (possibly Rosacea?) and bad acne scarring. Suggestions are greatly appreciated :)

Tie Dye Craze

I know I'm extremely late to jump on the tie dye bandwagon, but all of a sudden I am OBSESSED with everything tie dye. I think my inner hippie is taking over for a while because I just bought a cute hippie headband and a hemp anklet, along with a lot of tie dye. This phase will pass over shortly though I'm sure.

^ Not tie dye, but hippie related and funny.

What do you think? Do you like tie dye or do you think it should stay in the past? What pattern are you loving right now?

Inception

I saw Inception a while ago, and for the second time today. It was soooo good, but extremely mind blowing and confusing. I still don't understand the entire movie, but oh well haha.

Anybody seen this? I would ask for an explanation of the ending but I don't want it to be spoiled for anyone who hasn't seen it. What movies have you seen lately?

Hair Products I'm Loving Right Now

So, I'm back from Myrtle Beach and hopefully back to blogging on a regular basis too! I do have to do my summer reading still, ugh. I have to read 3 books in 3 weeks, so I'm not so sure that will happen. But anyway, I found two new hair products that I am in love with, and I just thought I'd share with you all :) Oh, and thank you Sarah for the suggestion to blog during my moment of boredom, haha :) You are a genius!

Garnier Fructis Flexible Control Hairspray

Since I've started wearing my hair curly sometimes, I needed a good hairspray to hold the curls. My hair does not curl very easily, and when it does the curls don't hold well. I just used some random hairspray I had in my bathroom until I could buy one I actually wanted. This stuff is AMAZING. Since it's a flexible hold, it allows the curls to fall out just a little so that they look a little more beachy. If you want a stronger hold, they have those too. The best part? It smells SO GOOD! My friends love the way this stuff smells and love when I wear it, so I would definitely recommend this to you all :)

Chi 44 Iron Guard

It is soo important to protect your hair from heat damage when you use a blow dryer, curling iron, or straightener. But I'm sure you all already knew that. I love the Chi 44 Iron Guard because you can use it on wet or dry hair, and can be used for curly or straight styles. My hair smells nice after I use it and it protects my hair from getting severely damaged by my irons and blow dryer. Some people say it leaves their hair feeling sticky or stiff, and I know what they mean because when I first got it I went overboard and sprayed a lot of it. You do not need to use a lot of this product, so if you lightly spray it your hair won't be sticky or anything.

Well, that's it for today. I'm really going to try my hardest to read all of your blogs and catch up I promise! What has everybody been up to? Do you use these products? What are your favorite hairsprays or heat protectors?

I'm a slacker...

I'm soooo sorry I've been slack with posting this week. I've been working most of the week, and yesterday I had to go up to North Carolina to get my car inspected so I can get new tags. ugh. And I'm leaving for Myrtle Beach today with my friend, and we won't be back until Sunday or maybe Monday.

If you've never been to myrtle beach, it basically consists of LOTS of mini golf courses, pancake houses, tacky tourist stores, beach, and interesting people. There is some Mustang car show I think that we are going to.

Anyway, I'm so so sorry I've been a slacker, and I promise when I get back I will try to get back to my one-a-day posting and reading all of your blogs!

How has everybody's week been? Going anywhere this weekend?

Color Inspiration: Red

Instead of doing random picture inspiration like I used to, I am going to start doing color inspiration, starting at the beginning of the rainbow. After I finish all the colors, I guess I will find some other series haha :) So, to kick off color inspiration, we are starting with red!
