This was in my mail a few weeks ago. This is the fourth beauty bag I've received from Target and I've really enjoyed them all. I mean, who doesn't like getting free stuff. Right? Right.

Inside the cosmetics bag (which is my favorite one so far) were the following items:

• Aveeno Living Color Color Preserving Shampoo and Conditioner
• Garnier Fructis Color Shield Shampoo and Conditioner
• Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter - Peach Parfait
• A coupon booklet that includes $15 worth of savings
• TRESemme' Split Remedy Split End Shampoo and Conditioner
• Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunblock SPF 70

So far, I've only used the TRESemme' shampoo and conditioner and I plan on buying the full size bottles. I also plan to use several of the coupons the next time I head to Target. 

Well, I have a four page paper due tomorrow. I should probably get that started.;)

24-Books I Read in May

1. Sofi Mendoza's Guide to Getting Lost in Mexico-Malin Alegria
2. Along for the Ride-Sarah Dessen

So, this is only like two months late. Whoops. I keep meaning to update this blog more (I even have a list of future posts), but then real life happens.

Anyway, I enjoyed both of the books I read in May, I knew I was going to like #1 before I even read it for the simple fact that it is set in Mexico; I love anything and everything Mexico. I haven't been there is so long and this book reminded me of all the things I already miss. I didn't like the protagonist so much at first, but her character really developed throughout the book. I also like that it focuses on such a serious issue, but still manages to be funny.
I also knew I would like book #2 because I've read (and loved) all of Sarah Dessen's other books. I really like how there is always some mention of character's from previous books (in new books) because I always wonder what happens to these people after the book ends. Is that weird? Yeah, I thought so.
Ok, that's all I have to say. See you next month! Just kidding.;)

23-These Are The Times

School is over! Well, except for those of us who are taking summer classes. I'm only taking two, though, so it's not that bad. Remember that time I took 18 credits? Yeah, never again.
Two weekends ago, Jackie, Zoey, and I all got our hair cut. The pictures above are of Zoey. I am not a fan. Everyone else loves it, but I want her old hair back.:/
We went to the beach last week. It was awesome and I hope we get to go a lot this summer! I forgot my camera at home, but I'm kind of glad. Sometimes trying to take pictures distracts me from the whole experience.
Ok, I'm off to class!

22-Mix Tape

21-Books I Read In April

1. Going in Circles-Pamela Ribon
2. Hocus Pocus-Kurt Vonnegut
3. The Six Rules of Maybe-Deb Caletti
4. Are These My Basoomas I See Before Me?-Louise Rennison

Well, this is late. I loved all of these books, but #1 is the one that most resonated with me. I love that it includes roller derby, but it is about much more than that. This book is about a woman who, although recently married, is already going through a separation. It's pretty clear from the beginning that her marriage is over and she knows it, but is not ready to accept it. What I most enjoyed is seeing the protagonist go from this scared, depressed little thing to a woman who is sure of her place in the world and who knows that she will be ok on her own. I also liked the friendships that help sustain her through this time. 
I also have to mention #4. I began reading the Georgia Nicholson series when I was 19. I borrowed them from the library and usually read through each book within a day. They are so fun and funny and I love Georgia and her little sister, Libby. I put off reading this last book because I didn't want it to end. I have to say that, even though I knew who she would end up with from the beginning, I was still rooting for the The Luuurve God. And even though I am now 28, I still laughed like a loon on loon tablets while reading this book. I am sad to see this end. I will miss you Georgia, vair vair much.
