AN AMAZING DAY IN SANIBEL ISLAND, FLORIDA

Ok- How can I explain this.
First, we had a WONDERFUL (REALLY WONDERFUL) lunch at Over Easy Cafe. Homemade Grilled Chicken Sandwich was really a go-getter. Then we took a ride- only to see HUMONGOUS luxury mansions/villas. It was amazing. The beaches were beautiful. Sunny and clear skies, warm sand, cool oceans, and cute dogs. We saw a HUGE dead fish (YUCK- Should've seen my face!), a few pelicans, 2 sharks, 2 dolphins, 4 submarines, a really tall bird- (looked about 3-4 feet tall- can't remember the name), and an adorable dog named Daisy, who really looked like Stella (my 1 year old yorkie pup!!) and who had enthusiasm like Stella!! On our hour ride home, we saw 3 Bentleys, a Navy Lamborghini, and a bunch of ferraris and porsches!! There were lots of dead animals and poor people, too. After the fish, (on the way home), we saw a dead dog (I could've cried), a dead dolphin on a highway-side beach (you would understand if you saw it, may be hard to picture in your head), and a man on the side of the road, begging for money and a job.

I will be posting some pics from the iPhone today.
Then on the 30th, I will post better pictures from the camera.
I'm off to go swim!!

AMAZING!

Ok- well in three words:
My walk was amazing
Let's make that 4.

We saw a beautiful female eagle in a palm tree! The eagle was outside of my grandfather's condo!The male was out fishing. We'll check for the male tonight. We'll post pictures. If not tonight then tomorrow.

I'm now going to Sanibel

Sanibel, FL- HERE I COME!!

Here I go- for my walk!
Be back later!!

Farewell- "My Life" Blog!!

I am here in Florida!! Today, we're going to Sanibel Island after a 30-minute walk. When I get home from the Island and all the fun- I'll Blog how it goes and what we did!! I'm so excited!!My Life blog will probably be removed sooner or later.* First I need computer help!!

* only this one- not Bliss & Beauty ;)
Random Question:
Does anyone know how to download the font "King Cool KC" to Blogspot (specifically- my blog!)?
Thanks!

Another Review

As you guys know, Blair and I visited a lush when we went to Atlanta. I have been doing so many videos about lush lately that I decided to show my haul on here instead of yet another lush video. This trip was really fun, mainly because we got to go to a lush with a bunch of our subscribers, who helped us pick out new things to try.
I started off taking advantage of the Christmas sale (buy one get TWO free!) by getting 3 Mr. Butterball's and 3 Star Melts. Here are pictures:



These are for my momma, because she tried my Mr. Butterball before Christmas and fell in love with it. Mr. Butterball has vanilla and cocoa butter in it to soothe your skin, and he makes the water feel amazing! He is $3.95. I might take one of these to try since Mom took mine before the holidays and I never got to try him!

I got her a few Star Melts because she loved the scent of my room after I used mine. She immediately asked if I had any more and I felt terrible that I didn't! So I got her 3 :) The star melt is described as a pink Christmas bath melt that smells like Vanilla and Candy. It also turns your water pink! Sounds good to me! These are $5.95.


I then picked up a few new things for me to try. I got a Glitterbug Massage Bar, which smells like vanilla and rose, and has tiny blueish sparkles that give your skin a fairy glow. This little bar is expensive, and tiny, so I'm not sure I will be repurchasing, but I still couldn't resist. It is called a GLITTERBUG after all. How cute is that!? This little bug is $6.55.




My next two items are my FAVORITES! I was so excited to try these. If you are fortunate enough to live near a lush store or counter I would go see if you can check these out.


Ready!? They involve GLITTER!

Flosty Gritter Bubble Bar: described as a "Girl's Night Out" sort of bubble bar. It
smells like Lavender and Vanilla - LOVE! This one is SUPER glittery and pink! And yes, I spelled the name right lol! $5.65.


Sunnyside Bubble Bar: This one is bright gold and glittery and makes your
bath LIQUID GOLD! As soon as I saw my friend, EGheartsssc on YouTube, talk about this I knew I needed to have it. Glitter makes me happy. Glitter + bubbles = super happy Elle. You get the picture :) $5.95. This one has citrus scents, to help pep you up and make you giddy (that's my own description. Lush should hire me. j/k, j/k).




And last but not least, a oldie that I adore. I was out of my Comforter Bubble Bar so I picked up another. I adore this little pink and white monster. It is $8.75, but I like this one because I can break it into 4 pieces so it lasts for 4 baths, unlike most others which only last for 1 or 2 baths.



All of these can be purchased at LUSH.


A Few Reviews on Lush from AllThatGlitters21

Last night I took a long bath, and I decided to use my Cinders bath bomb from Lush. I have been saving this one for several reasons. First of all, the scent is completely captivating, all cinnamon and orange. Second of all, this bath bomb claims to make crackling noises as in dissolves just like the sound a fire would make on a cold night. So, naturally I saved it for a "rainy" day. It has been freezing and snowy for the last several days so I figured last night was the perfect night to use it.

As soon as my bath was filled with steamy water I plopped this baby in. Now, before I explain what happened next let me say that lush has two types of bath bombs. Some of them dissolve slowly, like the "So White" bath bomb. That one dissolved so slowly I was ready to get out before it was done. Unfortunately, they are not all like this. A few I have tried dissolve as soon as they hit the water, and before you know what's happening they are all used up. Cinders fell in the latter category, and I was quite disappointed. The worst part? No crackling :(

But then... luck changed! Before I knew it the crackling started, and I noticed the water had turned a nice orange color. The smell was amazing, and the crackling went on for longer than expected. I can still smell Cinders on my skin.
Bottom Line? Yes, I would repurchase this one, but not to use on a night where I want to lay around in a bath for hours on end. This was a fun little bath bomb. I wish Lush made more stuff in this scent! $3.95.

Adorable Makeup (13-14 year olds -reccomended!!)

This is an article written by AllThatGlitters21... one of my mottos!
Thanks to her!

AllThatGlitters21:


Hair:
Redken Guts - gives me volume and helps my hair not get greasy on the second day of not washing it. It comes out as a mousse that you run into your roots, and it gives you a bit of lift.

Redken Fabricate - An aerosol heat protectant you spray onto your hair before you use a flat iron. I love this stuff! It seems to give my hair a little bit of hold as well.

Framsi Wio Balm - This is a straightening balm that I put in my hair while it is wet. My roommate has used it for years so I borrowed it for my how to get a vampire boyfriend video. I had to order one for myself because it really made a difference. The only annoying part is it is really hard to find.

Makeup/Nails:
OPI Polish in "Bubble Bath" - the perfect pale pink/white. I love the color and I love the name. Enough said.

Nars Laguna Bronzer - One of my all time favorite bronzers. I have repurchased this several times. Keeps me bronzed in the winter months.

Mac "Teddy" Eye Kohl - a chocolate brown liner with a touch of bronze. This is pretty when I don't feel like going too dark.

Thanks, Beverly!

Makeup and clothing is an issue for many teenage girls. If you are stressing about what you should look like as a newcomer in middle school, or a freshie in high school, here's a quick guide to help your fashion mature with you throughout middle and high school.

In Sixth grade, wear lip gloss, some mascara, and maybe a little bit of pale eyeshadow; don't go too heavy or it may look bad. If you want to try out more types of makeup, keep that for home experiments.
As for clothes, keep it in your comfort level. Bear this in mind: if you are wearing a bra or undershirt, don't let the straps hang out. It doesn't look cool; it just looks sloppy. If you are wearing a short shirt, check in the mirror to see if your stomach hangs out of the bottom. Otherwise, wear something a little bit longer. Also, if your pants are likely to slip, wear a belt. Belts are totally hip now!
* The main point is to keep the makeup light, and the clothes clean cut.

In Seventh grade you are beginning to care a little more what you look like; you might want to try curling your hair a few days a week, and using different hairstyles besides your typical ponytail.
If you are acne prone, try foundation. Remember thet even oily skin can get flaky and that looks horrible with foundation. So try it on weekends first and ask your mother (or someone that uses foundation well) if it looks okay.
In Seventh grade you might want to try eyeliner. But not too much because you don't want to look like a racoon!
Start trying to tie outfits together with accessories. It's good to try new things with your makeup and clothes. But when you try the new things, make sure it looks good on you, not just in the picture or at the store. Check out different stores, and find out if there is a style that suits you.

In eighth grade you are probably getting good at makeup and you know what you like. Try establishing your own hairstyle without looking like everyone else. For example, if everyone has long, layered hair with no bangs, try light wispy bangs and a shorter, layered look.
You might be wearing tighter jeans now and probably starting to get concerned with impressing the guys, so it's safe to try out more mature styles such as a sleek leather blazer, or lower cut necklines. If you are happy with your sports bra, that is totally OK. But it's safe now to check out the actual bra department and wear something that makes you feel pretty - like lace.

Ninth grade: high school! This is a big transition. Now in the same world as seniors, you are going to want to look like the rest of your peers. You should by now have your makeup and hair styles already. Try to update this look a bit, because no one wants to carry the same look they had in middle school. Dramatize a detail in your hair. If its known for it's left side part, part it even deeper. Make a straight style even sleeker and hip. Learn to make your curls tighter, or looser.
In high school you might want to wear your usual make up during the day, and as you start to go out with friends and boys at night, add a darker shade of eyeliner, or jazz up your lips with something more festive. It's also good to try new shoes, try wearing spikier ankle boots with a pair of hot jeans and a blouse. Chunkier heels aren't as hip as spikes as you get older. Incorporate accessories into your outfit. Buy yourself a bag that's in suede or leather to keep your schoolbooks in, instead of a backpack. You will want to buy yourself a new jacket, and make it your own.
You know what you like, so go and find clothes that fit your style, but crank it up a notch for a more mature feel.

How to beat the blues!

Try one of these simple ideas to cheer yourself up the next time your feeling down.

  • Call your bestie for a cheerful chat or email! Don't complain. Plan a great day out or a weekend sleepover instead!
  • Watch your favorite funny movie!
  • Keep a memory box full of happy things. Looking through birthday cards, invitations, and fave photos will cheer you up.
  • Put on your favorite music and dance those blues AWAY!
  • Pick some pretty flowers or interesting leaves and arrange them in a vase.

Homeade Relaxing Mini-Facial!

PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU START!

How to give yourself a mini-facial.

Every couple of weeks, set aside a bit of time to have friends over to have a relaxing salon-style facial at home. It'll help keep skin deep-down clean and super soft!

1. Smooth your skin with cleansing cream, gentle soap, or face wash. Leave it for one or two minutes to give it time to dissolve grime and make up, then wipe away with a clean, damp towel.

2. Massage a blob of facial scrub or some dry, uncooked oatmeal over your skin to whisk away dead surface skin cells and clear blocked pores. Rinse away with warm water.

3. Fill a bowl with boiled water (with parent's permission and help). Then lean over the bowl capturing the steam by placing a towel over your head. Stay there for 5 minutes to allow the steam to warm and soften your skin. Those with sensitive skin should skip this step!

4. Splash your face with warm water and PAT dry.

5. Smooth on homemade fruit facial:

If you have oily skin: Crush 6 strawberries with a fork, smooth onto your face, and leave on for three minutes.

If you have normal/dry skin: Crush a peeled banana with a fork, smooth onto your face, and leave on for 5 minutes.

6. Remove the mask with a clean tissue, then rinse your face with warm water.

7. Finish with a splash of cool water to freshen your skin. Pat dry with a washcloth or towel.

8. Dot your skin with moisturizer and massage it in to a encourage a brighter complexion!

Fun ways to bathe!

Lush Products:
Great smelling, and they make your skin feel like silk!
Many different shapes, sizes, and smells!
All natural! Eco-Friendly! =)

www.lush.com ~or~ go to your local mall and find Lush "Handmade Cosmetics"

How to bathe like Cleopatra!


Cleopatra, the queen of ancient Egypt, was said to bathe in milk. You, too can take a milk bath to soothe and soften your skin.

Just add 2 Pints of whole milk to a tub of warm water. Swirl it around thoroughly so that the water becomes a creme or a white color. Hop in and have a good soak for at least twenty minutes. Rinse in clear, cool water.

Fun ways to keep healthy!

How to Have a Good Night Sleep:
A good night's sleep helps you feel great & look goregous at the same time.
Most glamorous girls need around ten hours of sleep.
Try this mini routine to help out!

HAVE A LIGHT SNACK
Sweet Treats, heavy meals, and sugary drinks just before bed will keep you awake. If your tummy's rumbling, warm milk, a banana, or a slice of whole wheat toast an hour before bed. A cup of peppermint or chamomile tea will help relax your body, too!

WIND DOWN!
Try to relax during the hour before bed by reading a book or listening to some music. Make sure you get your Homework done earlier in the evening- doing it just before bed will leave your mind scrambling and racing and keep you awake!

MAKE SURE YOUR BEDROOM'S DARK AND QUIET
Make sure the curtains or blinds are pulled tight and get rid of any ticking clocks as they can scare you and make you think throughout the night. If you live in a noisy household, make a quick & simple DO NOT DISTURB sign and post it on your door.

PREPARE FOR BED
Put a glass of water on your bedside table in case you wake up thirsty. Pull on some comfy PJs, wash your face, brush your teeth, and hop between the sheets. Read until you feel sleepy, then turn out the light.

GET COMFORTABLE
Make sure your neck is supported well with one or two soft pillows. Don't wrap yourself in too many blankets- you don't want to feel hot during the night or early in the morning.

SET THOSE WORRIES AWAY!
Worrying can keep you awake. If you're anxious about something, get a parent to talk you to sleep.

Good night & sleep tight!

Growing Up

So.. Most of you reading this are my age or close to my age. We all know things will be changing in our minds & bodies. Here are 2 tips on how to take care of your bodies:

1. Face Wash-but not all of the time!
Face Wash will provent pimples and keep your pores healthy & happy!
Some good 10-11 year old brands are: Clean & Clear (I use this and it is awesome!), Neutrogena,... and there also is face lotion for sensitive skin & pores: Aveeno (works very well!), Cetaphil (Great for younger kids, too!), and there are so many more. Just to let you know, these are all dermatologist reccomended.

2. I know this sounds gross, but showering is soooo important!!
Shower every night, because every girl sweats and that is the start of something new!! (if you know what I mean!)


Next Post will be about fun ways to do things in order to take care of our bodies!

Times are all MESSED up!!

Does anyone know why the times are all messed up? Time Zones? IDK!!
