Sports!

Next year I'm going to be going into a different school, and going to start playing sports. I've played soccer and basketball before, and I really like basketball, but that isn't in the fall season. Where I live, my school offers three different fall sports options for girls, and three for the boys, also. Those choices are soccer, volleyball, and cross country. I used to like soccer, but now, for some reason, I absolutely hate it. Okay, maybe I don't hate it, but I definitely don't like it. And, volleyball... just, no. No. So, that leaves me with cross country! My sister has done cross country before, and I always wanted to. I was hesitant to sign up for cross country -- that was, until I found out my friend Sophie is doing it too! Yay! I'm excited for it. My mom is going to take me and Sophie running on the cross country trail this summer. Yay again! Haha. Well... I think that's about all I have to say... CYA!

Painting Pottery

So, this Saturday I'm going to be painting pottery... and I don't know what I should paint. Should I paint a flower, dog, cat, penguin? They basically have everything. ('They' is referring to the place I'm going to paint pottery at.) What should I paint? Tell me! Cya!

Another Bath and Body Works Blog?!

I'm sorry for all of these Bath and Body Works posts... I just love Bath and Body Works! Haha. I'm going to make this one a bit shorter than the others, just for an easier and quicker read. This blog post is going to be about the scents from Bath and Body Works that I eventually wish to add to my collection. Here we go!
-----------------------------------------------------
Just a heads up...
I'm not being sponsored by Bath and Body Works or anything
like that. I just simply enjoy writing blog posts about that company!
-----------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------
By the way... 
in no way am I setting expectations for what I think will be in my 
collection later in life. I just listed certain scents that I wish could
be in my collection. Just possibilities. Thanks!
-----------------------------------------------------
Well, that's about all for today. Thanks for reading! Cya!

Bath and Body Works Favorites!

To start off this blog, let me say that I am sick. Sick, sick, sick. So, in a result of that, I didn't go to school, and I have way too much time on my hands. That means a new blog post!Today I'm going to be talking about my favorite products from Bath and Body Works. Not just fragrances, but products overall. Let's get started!


FAVORITE FRAGRANCES
Now, I made this big list of my favorites. I narrowed it down to five. Then I realized that those five fragrances are the exact same as the five that I mentioned in a previous blog post! Yeah. I decided I'm still going to write about them, just with more of a review and why it's one of my favorites. By the way, it does go in order! The first one will be my least favorite out of the five, then five will be my all-time favorite. Make sense? Okay!

1.) Dark Kiss




You can't go wrong with this scent. At first, to be honest, it wasn't one of my favorites. But after awhile of wearing it daily, I've fallen in love with it! It's very romantic, but not too strong in fragrance. I do have to admit, since it's not that strong, it doesn't last as long as I would like it to. I still highly recommend it, though!

2.) Twilight Woods
Unlike the others, to me, Twilight Woods is a strong scent. At first when I put it on, just for a second it seems a bit overpowering. After a minute or two, it settles into my skin and smells amazing!

3.) Secret Wonderland
Secret Wonderland is a lot of peoples' favorites. It's my friend, Emily's favorite, my sister's favorite, and used to be mine. It still is one of my favorites, obviously, but two other fragrances have swept it out of the lead.

4.) Bali Mango
Hannah and Emily know that I have sort of been raving about this scent... I just recently discovered it, and it smells truly wonderful and tropical, and summery! Just what I need to get me into the spring/summer mood, with all of this crappy, forty degree weather lately.

5.) Midnight Pomegranate
Yes, Midnight Pomegranate is my favorite scent! It has a very rich smell to it. I absolutely love it. I recommend this scent to anyone and everyone if you haven't already tried it.


FAVORITE PRODUCTS
This little section thing is just going to be showing you my favorite products of Bath and Body Works overall. I will be using Midnight Pomegranate and a couple of other scents to demonstrate, or 'model,' I guess you could say. Here we go!

1.) Body Lotions 
B&BW's body lotions are amazing! I repeat, amazing! They're great quality, and completely worth your money. They moisturize your skin very well, and the fragrance in them last a long, long time! Not only does the smell last a long, long time, so does the amount of product. One of the 8oz. bottles of B&BW lotion lasts me, at the least, 6 months. If you only add a couple of pea-sized drops onto your hand and spread, it WILL last you FOREVER!

2.) Hand Soaps
All of B&BW's hand soaps are very nice. They deeply cleanse and wash your hands, along with leaving a pleasurable scent afterwards.

3.) Sanitizing Hand Gel
These Sanitizing Hand Gel's, or more commonly known as hand sanitizers, are a great thing to have in your purse and in your lunch bag so you can quickly sanitize before eating. Along with all of the other products I mentioned, they have an amazing scent! Unlike most hand sanitizers, they don't leave that strong stench that gives you a headache. 

THE END!
Thanks to all who read this whole blog post. Please tell me in the comments of any product from Bath and Body Works you recommend, would like me to review, that you like, etc. I would love to hear from you!

The Blog Post I've Been Waiting To Write!

Unfortunately, I kind of have to do this blog post quickly, since I have to shower soon. Anyway, this blog post is going to be about seasonal fragrances from Bath and Body Works. I had this conversation at lunch today with my friends, and now I'm just going to write about it.

I'm going to start off with winter. I knew which scent I was going to choose right away! And that scent is... Twilight Woods!

Now, moving on to spring. This one took lots of thinking and process of elimination, but I finally chose one... Secret Wonderland! (Secret Wonderland is one of my all-time favorite scents, by the way.)
Next is summer. Again, I knew right away which fragrance I was going to choose. And that is... Bali Mango! I recently discovered this scent just a couple of days ago, and I absolutely love it! I highly recommend it to anyone who likes fruity, exotic, tropical scents.

Fall! Yay! This one I wasn't so sure, but the one I chose was one of my first choices. And that is... Midnight Pomegranate!
I decided to add another little 'section,' and this one is going to be an year-round scent. And this one is... DARK KISS! Yay! Haha.

Well, I've got to take a shower now. Maybe tomorrow I'll make a list of all of my favorite scents from Bath and Body Works tomorrow. Cya!

My Trip To The Mall!

So, yesterday I went shopping for my birthday at the mall. Now, this blog post isn't going to be telling you what I got, since I feel like that'd be bragging. But, if you would like me to, I could tell you guys what I got for my birthday. That'd include what I got from the mall, too. Well, I'd do this little Birthday Haul thing when it's actually my birthday, of course. Anyway, I'm just going to tell you what stores I went to, my experience, things like that. Oh, and by the way, I went shopping with my mother. Okay, finally, the blog post actually starts...

First, on my way to the mall, I passed this one field with the brightest grass I've ever seen! It was almost fluorescent! It was amazing and beautiful. Then, when we actually arrived at the mall, the first place we went to was Macy's. I don't really know why, but my mother and I wanted to look at the purses, and yeah. We didn't buy anything there. Then, we went to Bath and Body Works. Oh, a mall trip for me wouldn't be complete without going here... Haha, anyway, I discovered a new scent, Bali Mango. Oh my gosh, it smells AMAZING! Probably one of my new favorite scents. THAT GIVES ME A GREAT IDEA FOR A BLOG POST! I'll do that blog post later... Haha. Anyway, I also got more stuff from there of my favorite scents. Another place that I went in the mall is Aeropostale. I almost got a pair of shorts from there, but I wasn't crazy about them, so I decided not to 'waste' money for something that I might not wear that much. Then, I went to Hollister. I feel like sometimes, Hollister's clothes are expensive. But, they were having a sale so I got some things. A complaint I have about that store is the lighting... you can barely see anything! While I was there, this one guy even went up to this one girl that worked there and told her! I started laughing.

Lastly, I went to JCPenney. I always end up getting the most there, and I did! I'm not going to tell you exactly what I got, because, again, I feel like that'd be bragging.

Okay, so, that was my trip to the mall. Exciting, right? Haha! Oh, and be expecting a new blog post tomorrow. I'm really excited to write it, but I don't think I should post more than two blog posts today, so yeah... Cya!

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day everyone! Be sure to spend lots of time with your mom, and tell her how much you love her! <3

Muffin Update

A couple of blog posts ago, I said I was going to tell you how the chocolate chip muffins that my sister and I made turned out. We already made them, like, two weeks ago, but who cares?

Anyways, we're mixing all the ingredients, la de da da da.... Then, when we put the bowl in the Kitchen Aid mixer, and when it's done, we realize something. It's really dry! It was all floury and stuff. So I, being the clever person I am, decided we should add some milk to see what happens. And guess what... the chocolate chip muffin batter was back to the way it should be! Oh yeah, I'm a hero. Haha.

So, moving on. We baked them and everything, and once they were done cooling, my whole family ate one. They were okay... but there weren't enough chocolate chips. I kept on telling my sister to put in more, but she didn't, so it's her fault. :P

Haha, so that's the story of how the muffins were created, and how they turned out. Hope you enjoyed reading! Cya!
