Island Sun

Hello my beautiful sand turtles,
The other week I was spending the day with my best friend and she got a shipment from a website called Tillys.com. She was very excited for the new clothes that she ordered, and once I saw them I knew I had to share these awesome finds with you all too.

Tillys.com is a surf and skate company that supplies countless surf and skate brands. Their prices are very reasonable and their products are absolutely Hawai'i approved--they're very cute, the girl stuff that is.
Once again, I am by no means sponsored or paid to to any reviews. 

This is her shipment of clothes from Tillys.com.

Everything was neatly packed in a generous sized box, nothing was just thrown in--you could tell you were getting quality items.

Introducing my beautiful friend Bre.

She is wearing Full Tilt - braid trim woman's tank, perfect for dressing up with a pair of heels or down thrown over a bikini. 

Full Tilt - mixed media woman's tank 

I love the beautiful lace detail and the delicate feminine floral print.

Volcom - petal to the metal woman's tube top 

This one is truly a day/night top. It goes perfectly with what Bre is wearing yet I can see it matched up perfectly with a pair of long black board shorts and converse; sexy skate chick.

Full Tilt - animal knit halter top 

Perfect for a day at the beach or a trip around the island. Awesome thing too depending on your bathing suit top you probably won't get a weird tan. 

O'Nell - brit woman's hooded thermal

Perfect for those late nights at the beach with friends. It's called thermal but it's light weight and 100% cotton so it's breathable.

MIA - biscotti platform wedges

The faux leather and lovely design of espadrille make these wedges one to not pass up. The best feature is these wedges form to your arch which makes for a very comfortable wear.

So overall we're very satisfied with Tillys.com, with very reasonable prices and the wide arrange of products you'll always find something you'll instantly fall in love with. 

And thank you so much Bre for agreeing to do this awesome photo shoot for my blog. Hopefully more to come!

Until next time my sand turtles.

Love,

Camie

Honey Bee

Hello my beautiful honey bees!

About a week back I found these beautiful smelling body washes. The aroma that fills the air as you shower is just beautiful. I was so excited for these wonderful but cheap finds! Okay lets get on to it!

*Note: I am in no way sponsored or paid to do any of these hauls/reviews*

Okay first I'm going to start off with the Pure & Natural - Moisturizing Almond Oil and Cherry Blossom body body wash; that one is to the far right.

I came across of this one at Price Busters, it was the more expensive of the three although it only cost me $3.99. This beautiful natural bottle caught my eye, and with it saying 98% natural it also caught my interest. I like what it says on the back of the bottle so I will quote it for you, "We understand that everyday choices we make have a direct impact on how we live tomorrow. That's why we only develop products that nurture you without sacrificing the world around you. Our moisturizing body wash:

- Is Biodegradable

- Comes In 100% Recycable Packaging 

- Is Paraben Free

- Is Not Tested On Animals (my favorite one)"

And right under all of that it says that they make an annual donation of at least $100,000 to World Wildlife Fund. 

Isn't that awesome? I love to read the entire bottle of anything new I use while showering and I feel pretty great while reading all of that. My four dollars well spent!

Oops! I almost forgot the scent. When showering you instantly get the floral scent of cherry blossom and then the subtle warm notes of the almond oil. Unfortunately the scent did not last that long on my skin out of the shower. 

Here's the website for this wonderful company. Pure & Natural

Now on to Essence of Beauty - Pure Amber, and Passion Flower shower gels.

I found this one at Ross' Stores for only $2.99 a bottle! But the price isn't what first attracted me to these body washes, it was the shape. I absolutely love that you can either let it stand like regular body washes or  you can actually hang it! I love that!

The scent of these body washes are just lovely. The Passion Flower(one on the right in pink) is what I envision a floral princess to smell like. It's very floral with a hint of ... clean. I have a hard time explaining this one. hehe. On the back of the bottle it says that it awakens, warms, and soothes. There's also a title and this one is called Intriguing. The wear on your skin when out of the shower is decent.

Now to my favorite one! Pure Amber(one on the left in golden Amber) this one is warm. It's very calming and   soothing. The back of this bottle hit it straight on the nose. "The rich warm sets of amber and sandal wood will make you feel like royalty; luxuriously pampered and confident." That is exactly how I felt when lathering up with this bubbly body wash! The title on the back said Romantic and I felt so beautiful when using this. Maybe it's just my kind of smell, but this one is my favorite. The wear on your skin out of the shower is really good. I could smell the beautiful aroma through the night.

These products isn't as environmentally friendly as the first product but it does say--which I am very happy about--that they don't test on animals. There's also a satisfaction guarantee. 

So these are my new bath indulgence, what is yours?

Untill next time honey bees. Btw, I am obsessed with the song Honey Bee by Blake Shelton.

Oh, one more thing! Check out one of the best giveaway's I've seen. It's amazing. www.makeupdiary.org

My Treasure.

Hello my beautiful bloggers.
I know it's been a long while and I do apologize.

Just the other week I stopped by a garage sale that was near my really good friends house and I found this treasure( ...well I considered it to be a treasure; my friends..not so much) of a hand bag. It was insanely cheap so I just had to buy it.

One woman's trash is MY treasure!

Front

Back

So I was out in the yard with my two babies and one of them decided to inspect my new hand bag. I am pretty sure she approves! ^_~

What do you think beautiful bloggers? Do you approve?
Also, it's leather, yes I don't exactly support wearing animals but what the hay, this is a very old bag.
Anyone know how to clean leather? I am very clueless!

So comment my bloggers. Tell me do you like my new find? Do you have a similar found treasure of your own? and ... do you know how to clean leather?


Until then beauties...


Love,
Camie

Something Old?

*Notice -  A whole bunch of my lovely comments were deleted! Not by me, I promise. 
One day they were here and one day they just were gone. I don't know if this is a common thing to happen on  
Blogger but I am very sad about that.
I miss and very much appreciate every single one of the comments that were cruelly deleted.
Sorry my beauties.


Make it new with glitter!

See how gross and dirty my once pretty floral fabric pumps have sadly become?

Well with some waterproof fabric glue and some pretty fine glitter I gave new life to my once loved well fitting pumps!

I let it sit for a little more than a day and I wore it out as soon as I was sure the glue had dried. 

Let me tell you, it was an instant hit! All my friends loved it and I felt so omnipotent. Okay yes I did look that word up but it really does fit. ^_^

So what do you think my beautiful bloggers? Do you like the outcome? Have you tried this yourself? 

Let me know beautiful!

Oh and before I go, here's two contests for you!

Dine On a Dime...and My New Find!

Lunch time! 
Plating makes everything look and taste better. For lunch I had Chow Mein Noodles and Sweet Green Iced Tea. The Noodle brand is Sapporo Ichiban Chow Mein Noodles, you can get them at under a dollar a package.

Now, I had bought some of the yummy oatmeal from McDonald's and had plated it. I've got to admit that in  picture it doesn't look as appetizing as it did in real life. 

Now to my exciting find!!! 
For years I've been in love with Moschino. I saw the line on a late night fashion show when I was sixteen and from there I was in love. Being that Moschino is a higher end brand I've never had the chance to own anything from the line(plus I don't yet shop online) until that is I saw the Moschino Cheap And Chic Eau De Toilette in Ross! I was so overjoyed I think I may have made a fool out of myself, but it was SO worth it.
Here it is.

I love the feminine scent of it! It was a nice blend of floral top notes with fruity undertones. I admit that my nose isn't the smartest one out there so I searched online and found the description for it. 
It has notes of petitgrain, bergamot, white orchid, sandalwood, and vanilla. I may not know the first two but it's very much suited for business wear. But me being extraordinarily in love with it I am currently wearing it everywhere. 
I also love the cute heart on top.


Until next time my beauties.


Love,

Beautiful Ko'olau

Yesterday while on my way to return home I noticed there were waterfalls in the Ko'olaus'. This is absolutely worth the share. I haven't traveled the world as much as I'd like but I think that the Ko'olau mountains is definitely something you should see in your life time.

One of these pictures you'll see my dear momma. ^_^

I know I forgot to write an introduction piece about myself and what I will be writing to all you lovelies about, but I promise my next post will be about that. 

Until next time.

Love,

Camie

The Wednesday Letters

I recently picked up this book at my local thrift store and it seemed interesting. It's a little different from my usual gooey love story novels I'd typically read but I was so touched by this story that I thought it was worth a share.

The Wednesday Letters written by Jason F. Wright is a 280 page New York Times Bestseller. The story line is surprisingly unpredictable and absolutely touching. The ending gave a satisfactory equation yet kept an air of mystery.

Although it may not be one of my favorite books that I've read I absolutely recommend it. In my opinion this beautiful red covered book is a real treasure.

***********
This is my first blog post so I want to thank every reader out there for stumbling upon my blog and taking time to see what I'm all about.
Although my first post was about a book I also will be sharing makeup, music, and just other lovely random things with all you lovelys. ^_^

Until then...

Love,
Camie
