Julie G Nail Polish in Crushed Candy

I am absolutely obsessed with this Julie G nail polish from the Frosted Gumdrops line.  It is a beautiful purple silver color that shines like out of this world!  I did not add a top coat, but I bet it's super shiny with one!  The greatest thing about this polish is the lasting power.  Without a top coat, I was able to wash my hair rigorously and the polish remained in tact.  No sparkles missing!  This polish is literally the most gorgeous thing ever.  Get your hands on it at Rite Aid or online at Jesse's Girl.

Julep Instant Warming Foot Scrub

Have you ever gotten one of those beauty subscription services and been absolutely astounded when you find something that is actually awesome?!  That's how I felt after using the Julep Instant Warming Foot Scrub.  This stuff is legit.

Hurry!  It's on sale right now for just $12.99!

I received this scrub in my Julep Maven Subscription box, which by the way is a monthly subscription where you get their awesome nail polishes for way cheaper than normal and they also throw in a full-sized skin care or beauty product from the brand.

The Instant Warming Foot Scrub is amazing.  It has a beautiful cucumber mint scent and has natural pumice, which is volcanic rock to help smooth out the roughness on your feet.  The scrub is also infused with chili pepper oil, which I imagine helps with the heating sensation!  When you rub the product into your hands, it instantly warms up!  It's a soothing, almost hot, type of feeling.  You just rub into your feet while in the shower, and your feet instantly feel smoother.  It is a great way to massage tired feet.  It is absolutely luxurious and a total pick-me-up while you're getting squeaky clean.

Folly Beach

My husband and I drove from Greenville, South Carolina to Charleston to celebrate our anniversary.  Charleston is one of my favorite cities in the world because it provides the romance of Paris with southern gentility and hospitality, but it also is rich in Gullah culture.  Most importantly, however, it is near a ton of beaches.

I love beaches.  When I vacation, I look for a beach-y spot.  One of my summer bucket list items was to have a beach day.  While in Charleston, we decided to go to Folly Beach, which is only a 20 minute drive away.  It is an interesting place that reminds me a lot of smaller towns in Hawaii, something like Kihei.  I would love to say we spent the whole day at the beach, but we didn't.  That was our intention, but things kept getting in our way.  We eventually made it to the beach and laid in the sun while we read our kindles.  I've been reading Tina Fey's Bossypants, which is pretty good.  I do love a good comedienne-authored book.

I really enjoyed Folly Beach although you wouldn't be able to tell from the picture below.  I guess I look perturbed when I'm posing or something.  Anyway, my red tankini is from Target.  I got it on clearance for like $12.
