Downy Ocean, Hon!

&&&& I'm back!!!  I had a fairly good time and certainly relaxed and worked on my tan.  Oh and did I mention it didn't cost me but about $200 and that's in candy, sunglasses, a bathing suit and flip flops.  I finally have some REAL color that typically, I would've had months ago.  The weather was more amazing then I'm seen in 20 years.. 85 with a breeze and complete sunshine.  It even rained on the way home.

I mean how can you not be happy and relaxed when you spend 5 hours a day looking out at this or

 I truely do love the beach but a long time ago I got stuck in a wave and it freaked me out so much so that I haven't been fond on the ocean very much in years.. not enough to boogie board or play in it like I used to when I was younger.  However, this year I did face my fears and brave the ocean and the waves alone and I was quite proud.  An when you couldn't find me at the beach I was at the pool, trying to cool off my burn and work on my tan a bit more.

The above picture was from the board walk at night..how beautiful!

(I have a few more photo's I took with my digi cam but i haven't uploaded them.  I happen to love these vintagey feeling ones taken with my cell.)

Major Sephora Haulage

I leave for vacation Tuesday night or Wednesday morning, still undecided by my Dad.  Anyhow, my bathing suit is 90 min away at our summer place, which i conviently forgot it there on MEMORIAL DAY, yes my friends I have been out in my bikini since then, le sigh!  Anyhow, I need bikni to wear to the beach and I couldn't find my last years supply so after work I went to the outlet mall that's 5 min away (so bad for my shopping habit).  After walking around for over an hour I ended up with nada.  I was hoping to come out with a bikini and a few maxi dressed.  NOTHING. Gah!

Saturday I had a hair appt then hit the mall by my salon.  Still nothing..except at Sephora.  I was debating doing a vblog but my skin is horrendous due to stress.  Needless to say when the lady at Sephora tell you, "Oh, think of it as an investment.." you know your in trouble.

Here's my haul.


MUFE: HD Microfinish powder


MUFE Blush Brush (just like my MAC 187 and at $39 it's going back!)


Glo-Teeth Whitinening Kit


Brazilian Acne Peel


Kate Somerville - Tan Towels

I'm hoping to be tan, with a white smile and clearer skin.  I'll update everyone on how it goes!

On this Sunday funday I've: washed clothes, cleaned out my make up case and organized it a bit, did the brazailian peel on my face and that's about it.

PS, I'm super thrilled to have 30 followers! Holy Cow!!!! Welcome to all my new friends!  Sorry, I've been a bit inactive but I've been working 50 hour weeks and dealing with a bit of drama. I'm trying to sort it all out..with the help of my ex :)

Have a great week everyone! I can't wait to head to the beach, I'll be in Ocean City, MD


I'll be here..working on my much needed tan..and taking lots of pictures!

True Life: I'm a Everyday Life Blogger

Obviously, I'm an everyday life blogger.

my crazy small family

life after death [ily mom]

being single for the first time in my life

a job change that I hope to be my forever career

my quest for happiness whilst battling depression 

my shopping hobby

my love of all things: girly, pink, etsy, blogger and well..just general life!

My kind of Sunday Funday

About once every other month I will CLEAN my room, meaning getting rid of the clutter and throwing things away. After having to spend waste too much time in the morning looking for shoes. I decided my shoe bins needed to be cleaned, I hate to throw away shoes they can be so expensive ! Anyhow this is what it looked like when I dumped my bins out on the floor.  My friends this picture doesn't even do my shoe collection justice.  This pile is about 2 foot high and 2 foot wide.  CRAZY!

After throwing away about 10 pairs of shoes to be donated this is what my closet looks like now.

Still a fair amount and I have my uggs hiding with my tennis shoes in this picture so you can't even see them.  Lesson learned, I had a bit of shoes that were old and beat and needed to be gone and I probably don't need anymore work shoes anytime soon.  Sadly, when I used to model I needed ALOT of black heels which are terribly uncomfortable and serve me no purpose since I don't wear them to work.  I live in flats!

Did I mention that I also got my new bedding in the mail?

I love my puffy down comforter and my tiffany blue sheets.  The lighting in my room is wonky the sheets are a bit brighter then that.  I want to buy a throw pillow to tie it together and a throw to put at the edge of the bed to add a bit more color as well.

I recently put together a revised budget with my new pay and student loans. UGH! Never take out student loans, they suck a major one!  After paying bills I have about $100 a week in play money, I don't know if that good or not but it sucks..that 100 has to go to prescriptions, doctors visits, hair, nails etc since i didn't budget for that.  I must say I am blessed that after my bills I have ANY money left over and the fact that I can pay my bills is a blessing as well.  I guess for 25 I'm not doing THAT bad.  I'm certainly trying to live within my means and reduce all my debt going forward.

Oh and on this Sunday Funday, I'll be washing clothes, doing a bit more cleaning and stuffing my face while watching bridezillas and stalking blogger.

Did I mention I'm going on a family vacation with my dad and my step mom and her son on Aug 8-14, I'm pretty excited.  This chicky needs a tan!

I'll be here BTW, love me some Ocean City, MD.

Have a great week everyone!
