Much needed reorganizing!

Hey everyone! So the other night I was up until four in the morning. I just have troubles sleeping. So I decided to reorganize my bookshelves. Now I only took pictures of my two black ones. I have another shelf that is in the corner of my room that is attached to the walls. Its kinda hard to take pictures of that. Sorry if the pictures are a little blurry.

New books!

I haven't bought any new books in awhile. Decided these were much needed. I went to a local bookstore in Irvington called Bookmamas. I absolutely love the place. Now some books are a little overpriced, but sometimes you can find great deals on them. I am excited to read these! I absolutely love John Green! I will do reviews on them as well after I read them. 

Shopping Haul!

I went shopping today with my mom, cousin, and grandma. I bought a backpack and pencil pouch from Target. I also got some Crayola Candy from Dollar Tree. The socks, Jelly Bellys, Gummy Candy, and Groot Pop! Figure came from Toys R Us. The tea and two books also came from Dollar Tree. The purse came from a Marathon Gas Station. There were a few things I got today I forgot to take pictures of. That includes:

• Modge Podge from Target
• Two Big Hero 6 folders from Toys R Us
• Fireworks from Dollar Tree

Trip to Holiday World: Thunderbird, Henna, and more!

Hey everyone! On Monday June 29th, I went to Holiday World with my family! I recommend that you go during the week because they aren't that busy. I think the longest we waited in line was 25 minutes if that. The first roller coaster we rode was The Legend. I sat next to one of my little cousins who this was her first time riding a roller coaster. Just let me tell you what happened. At first she was find. But as soon as we went up a hill, she started freaking out. As soon as we went downhill, she started screaming. She kept screaming my name and yelling at me to hold her. By time we were done, she was crying really bad. I about died of laughter! We rode some of the other rides as well. When I was waiting with my littlest cousin Joe, we decided to play a basketball game. Him being only 4, he can't really throw that far. So he missed on his first throw. The lady running the game looked at him and asked him if he wanted to give mommy a try. Do I look like a mother to a 4 year old? Im only 16! I think I don't look like a mom! I was a little offended. I did get a Henna tattoo. It was something new they had going on this year. I actually liked mine. But I paid $20 for it. Kind of a lot of money in my opinion. Afterwards I got this awesome tasting pretzel. I wanted another but I wasn't going to pay $5 for another. I also bought 8 necklaces. Which I will probably post pictures of later. I won 2 stuffed animals from games. And I also bought a matching set of key chains for my boyfriend and I. They are puzzle pieces and they have our names on the front and the date we started dating on the back. I paid about $25 for those. Which I will post pictures of everything later that I got that day. Overall, I had a great time and my family didn't really get into any arguments.
