Still loving these!
Currently Burning…
Various Scents. I have so many candles in process right now that I couldn’t even list them. But I really need to get to BBW and smell these new scents that they have. Pink Apple Punch? Sparkling Berry Fizz? I need to try these!
Currently Watching…
Big Brother! I am actually not loving this season as much as I did at first, but I am still watching. Some of the houseguests are just trying too hard which is making it not so fun. Does anyone else feel the same way?
Currently Buying…
Nothing! Well, not right this very second anyway. On my “to buy” list are a mouse pad (so retro) and I need to get a gift of some sorts ordered for Disney to be waiting for the boys in the room when we get there. I know I am totally overpaying for the things in those baskets, but it’s worth it to see how excited they get when they see it!
Currently Drinking…
Spark. I was doing so good not drinking Diet Pepsi and then, umm, I wasn’t doing so good. But I am back at it and started my morning with a Spark. I even (finally) ordered their two newest flavors – Green Apple and Pomegranate. I
Currently Reading…
Me Before You. I actually just finished this book and I feel like I want to vomit. I may or may not have been crying my eyes out before I got to the end. It was so sad and heart warming at the same time. I pretty much knew how it was going to end by the time I was halfway done with the book, but I kept reading and hoping it’d be different. Nope.
Current Obsessions…
Tomorrow’s Birchbox & ipsy reveals. Summer Time. Storm doors for the house. Nautical themes. Those mini shoes from the Nina Garcia box. Serums. Sleeping with the windows open. Celebrity Wife Swap. Our garden. Wet Brushes. Watching the kids play outside.
Currently Annoyed About…
Bug Bites. I mentioned the other day about L’s scavenger hunt and how my feet got eaten alive by something while we were trying to find a pinecone right? Well they still itch and it’s driving me insane. Is there some old school concoction that will get rid of the itchiness? Because the drug store still isn’t cutting it!
Currently Excited About…
My Pineapple Painting! It’s coming today and I am so excited! I need to be home to sign for it and I plan to spend the day basically stalking the UPS truck so I don’t miss him.
Currently Plotting…
Garage Sale Dates. Why is this so hard? I can’t figure out a date that all of us are actually going to be home, with nothing going on. In my mind this was going to be over and done with in May. Ha.
What’s currently going on with you today?
For bug bites try sticking a spoon in the freezer then holding the cold spoon on the bites for as long as you can stand. You can do the same thing by holding the spoon under hot water and applying it to the bites but you’ll have to keep reheating it. I had a ton of bites from our last camping trip and didn’t try the hot/cold spoon trick but I did hold the blow dryer as close as I could for as long as I could. The heat/cold on it gives the same sensation you are itching it without actually itching and it stopped it for a while.
I will totally try it!!!! This sounds like a great trick!
I’m still bummed that I have to wait another two weeks or so to get my pineapple due to my vacay. Pout. Pout.
Ahh, I hope you get it as soon as you get back!
I am also excited and looking forward to the ipsy and birchbox reaveals! I have seen the ipsy bag, and it looks cute, so i hope the contents of the bag are just as cute.
I totally felt the same way about that book. I kept hoping and hoping it would be different. I was so sad, but not all at the same time.
I know. I was like please end different. Please don’t do it!
I love the BBW candles! I work right across from the bath and body works store in my local mall and it smells so good everyday! Its so hard to resist going in there!!!
I totally agree with you on big brother!!!! There trying way to hard like they all know exactly what they are doing because they are all the hugest big brother fans! It is kind of annoying!
I think that’s what I don’t like. All the super fans!
I love this season of Big Brother, I think it’s a lot better than last season.
I just reserved “Me Before You” at the public library based on your recommendation. (BTW, back to a prior topic, I no longer splurge on books because I use the library now).
You’ll have to let me know what you think!!!
have you tried Benadrly cream, it always works for my kids. It has a antihistamine witch works on the bites.
Umm, I didn’t even know there was a benedryl cream??
I’ve been watching and reading the posts and I have to admit, personally I’m loving this season of Big Brother. Once you start reading the posts about what isn’t shown on the show it makes a huge difference about how you feel about some of the people. Also, from the stuff I’ve been reading this week’s veto ceremony should be awesome because four or five people are supposed to get into a huge argument during the ceremony. I’m actually debating getting the three day trial of the live feeds just to see all the stuff that has been supposed to be going on this week.
I need to start watching BB After Dark and reading the forums again!!! I think that made it more enjoyable.
Big Brother isn’t wowing me this season either. I can’t stand Devin. I like the weirdo alliance (the one with those two girls and Hayden). Who are you rooting for?
I do like those two girls!
Hi hope Devin goes home next week. I know there is no chance this week, but there is hope next week. If you follow the spoilers and feeds, you know there was all sorts of crazy that happened this week already.
I have always wanted to get the live feeds, but never did. I guess I need to start reading the forums again!
I’m now hooked on B&BWs candles and looking forward to smelling the new scents! I stocked up when they were on sale and probably won’t need any new ones for awhile, but I want them all! lol
Can’t wait to see my Birchbox reveal! Got the tracking number today and already stalking!
I want my tracking!!! I actually don’t mind if I have to wait for the box as long as I can see what’s in the box tomorrow!!!
Oatmeal is great for soothing skin irritations. Not that you’d necessarily want to put it on your feet, but hey, if it works…
I’m in the same boat with our garage sale too! I’m aiming for August.
Where does time go?
I tried to warn you about that book! But it had to be finished. It was so good, but so GD heart-wrenching! I had to immediately read a rom com after to wash it from my brain. I did a buddy read with a girlfriend and we were like “Was that your horrible idea or mine? GAH!”
Horrible idea! Ugh. I’m still sad.
Calamine lotion for the itch? And felt the same way about the book. Loved it but yeah, had the kleenex out.
I’m not really drawn to any of the house guests on BB yet, but I think it’s going to be a good season. At first I wasn’t hopeful since so many of them were recruited instead of being BB fans who auditioned. But, I think the fact that they don’t know about the game will shake things up and make them a bit more interesting. I am sooooooo tired of the “voting with the house” philosophy this and the past 5 or so seasons. It makes everything so predictable after veto, so half the week isn’t interesting. I wish people would just vote the way they want, then the eviction episode would actually be surprising. I enjoy reading the blogs and knowing what is actually happening in the house, the tv episodes are so hyper edited and do not paint a real picture. I got the feeds last year and may get them this year if I start rooting for a specific house member.
I have always wanted to get the feeds! Do you think it’s worth it?
I have the worst yellow fly bite ever and I have tried every remedy I could find, including benedryl. Now I smell like a salad and I still itch! (I tried holding a raw onion on it, putting vinegar on it… nada!)
Ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I haven’t been keeping up with bb since I’m at the beach. I will have to stalk everything when I get home.
When do you get home? How is the weather!
fall garage sales are great..always do well cuz not a lot of them then..
bug bite toothpaste is what we used at camp and paste of baking soda or calmine I found mine ernt bug bites but grass tx
That’s a good idea.
The Benadryl itch relief stick works great. It even worked on the bee sting I got on my lip.
where are these pineapple paintings from? so cute..
They are by cocoa and hearts. She releases painting ever few weeks and sends out an alert when they are for sale. They go fast.
