It's that time again!! My mom and I just went to Bath and Body Works for their semi annual sale and gosh did I find a lot! From candles, body sprays, lotions, creams, candles and much much more. Having a giftcard to BBW already was a total plus because I needed to stock up on my favs! 

The sale goes from today until July 6 so grab all your goodies before they're sold out!

The first thing that I always look for are body gels and creams. I go through so many body gels and creams that I had to stock up on them! 

All of them were under $4! It was a steal compared to their original prices of $12.50!!

The ones I picked out above were White Tea & Ginger, Lush Pink Dragonfruit, and one of their classics, Country Apple. And they smell amazing (especially in a hot steamy shower). 

The last things that I decided (it took a long time based on the options in the store—all amazing) were candles. 

Candles at BBW are my number 1 priority because you can't go wrong with a whole stock full to save for the upcoming seasons and they burn so well and smell so good. 

I grabbed Honolulu Sun, Guava Colada, and (one of Zoella's favorites) Honeysuckle Bouquet! These were originally priced at $22.50 and were on sale for 50% off for $12.50! The smaller one wicks were $6 each. 

With all my purchases at BBW, I saved over $75! (Using a $10 off spend $40 coupon). 

The sale will be going on for a long time so don't rush on over because they do keep everything well stocked but, a lot of scents have gone over the past two days at my local BBW. The selection of things they have are pretty beachy which is awesome for the summer! They do have a lot of classic scents as well like Peach Bellini, Country Apple, Cucumber Melon, and so fourth. 

This isn't a sale to miss! Happy shopping!

What's your go to scent at BBW?

Doing my nails is like mowing the lawn. It's a chore ladies. However, when I do my nails I have some of my favorite nail polishes for summer to share with you guys!

This first nailpolish is one of my favorite blue shades for the summer. It is a bright cobalt blue and you only need one to two coats. It reminds me of the ocean!

>Essie's "Butler Please" $8.50 at Walgreens

I have been really into metallics lately and I know I know Selena Gomez blah blah blah... But her OPI collection is pretty great! I love coppers and golds on my nails and this is definatley one you should pick up for the summer!

> Nicole by OPI Selena's "Kissed by Midnight" $9 at Ulta

Don't worry! Not all my nail polishes are really expensive high street brands, but Sinful Colors has a great collection of colors and the quality is really good! This is my favorite bright neon pink color to wear on my toes and is great for the beach! It does take about 3 coats to apply but the color payoff is amazing! 

> Sinful Color's "24/7" $1.99 at Walgreens

This is one of my newer favorites that I just picked up and I am in love. I describe it as very "juicy" haha I look at it on my nails and want to just eat it off (but I don't). It's one of Essie's newest summer shades.

> Essie's "Peach Side Babe" $8.50 at Walgreens

And lastly, this is one of my yearly favorites because I love it so so much is OPI's Cajun Shrimp. This is a popular favorite in their collection and I just discovered it. Lately I have been really into bright watermelon-y, orangey reds. This summer I will definatley be looking out for some more OPI colors to come! 

>OPI's "Cajun Shrimp" $9 at Ulta

Thanks for reading my top nail polishes for this summer! I hope you enjoyed and try out these awesome colors!

What's your must have nail polish for these hot summer months?

Flying anxiety. The fear of flying. I am scared of being airborne. 

Ever since I was really little I have had a fear of being trapped in an aluminum tube that is shot into mid air and I have had to tolerate the terrifying ups and downs of turbulence. 

Thoughts that go through my head:

1) I am going to crash and die

2) Who on the flight looks like a potential terrorist

3) Where are the exits

4) I am okay

5) I am not okay

6) If I die, who is going to remember me?

7) I'll be on the news...

8) I can't say goodbye to my family

9) What about the people I left at home... and much much more...

Now don't get me wrong, I love travel. I love the feeling of being in a new place with new people and new sites to see. When I'm older hopefully I get to travel around the whole world. Now why did we have to invent the airplane, well for one thing, I could be at my aunt's house in less than three hours by plane and I don't have to listen to my little sister blast Ariana Grande on a 14 hour car ride. Air travel is one of the world's greatest privileges. I just hate it. 

I hate going through security and having to feel guilty and scared like they're going to suspect I'm a terrorist (I'm not thanks). I hate taking off my belongings and trusting the airport with my things. I hate having to eat before I fly because my stomach is already twisting in knots before we reach the terminal. I hate waiting to board the airplane, it's like waiting for my death call. I hate entering the plane and and everybody staring at me like I am a criminal. I hate having to decide where to sit. Window seat or aisle seat. Never the middle. I hate the sounds on an airplane. The blasting air conditioner and beeps and revs of the engine. I hate driving to the runway. I hate lift off. I hate the whole ride. 

I love landing. Land. Sweet land. 

Now how did I cope with flying to experience all of that? Well when I was little I had many stuffed animals and my parents with me to keep me moving and distracted. I even had Mr. Sketch markers and would bring them in my little barbie backpack so I could smell them whenever, wherever. Yeah it was probably promoting hallucinogens and wasn't good for my health every time I got nervous but, damn was it a great placebo effect. (Now c'mon people I wasn't addicted to smelling markers. Hasn't every kid done something like that?).  As of today, I have my phone, music, books, homework (lots of it), and my journal. 

> keeping myself distracted

> keeping myself comfortable

> keeping myself from having to go pee

Are all the things I try to focus on and do while I'm traveling. Flying is just something all humans are going to have to do at some point. I just need to learn to overcome this fear of flying because the chance of actually crashing on a plane are 1 in a million.  I always focus on the destination. What I am going to do and who I am going to see.

Flying will be okay. I am okay and everything will be fine.
