i am thankful.

i know that thanksgiving is over now, but during my break from classes, i rediscovered something. i remembered exactly how important my boyfriend, josh, is to me.
i got to thinking about a year ago.. josh and i had been dating for four months, and we went to spend the day in topeka. we took photos in a picture booth, and i still have them. i remember being so happy on that day, and feeling like i was on top of the world because of how this boy made me feel. i want everyone to know that now, a year later, i still feel just as strongly for him.
i think that sometimes we get caught up in the stress of schoolwork and living in residence halls, along with family issues and we forget just how lucky we are to have each other, but over thanksgiving break, i think that we started to appreciate each other more than we have been.
while yes, we see each other every day now, have one tree hill dates in my room most days, and still go to movies and out to eat occasionally... we haven't been treating each other like the special, important people we are.
we both lose sight of what a great relationship we have sometimes, but in the past few days, two of my dear friends have faced heartbreak. they both haven't been with the people they love for a while now, but they of course still have feelings for them, and are having a difficult time coping without them. don't get me wrong: i don't think josh and i are breaking up anytime soon, but seeing my friends hurting so badly made me really appreciate how loving and caring my boy is.
i've been in relationships where i wasn't treated the way i should be, and in return, i didn't treat the other person well either. knowing that this relationship is the opposite of that gives me great hope in the world. i know that sounds cheesey, but if you asked me what makes me happy on a daily basis, i'd tell you it was josh.
yes, we have our problems, just like everyone else, but we pull each other through. we laugh together, cry together, complain together, and smile together, and i think that is what makes a relationship work. at the end of the day, even if we've had a fight, we love each other just as much, if not more, as we did before.
to josh: i know you'll read this, honey, and i hope you aren't embarrassed that i put this out there for the world to see. just know that you make me so happy and i am so thankful to have you.
i love you, bb boy.

beauty is as beauty does - part two.

this is the second part of my beauty-related wishlist. you can view the first one [here].

this portion involves skin, body, and hair care, as well as perfume! i'm getting close to running out of a lot of things, especially my nighttime moisturizer! i'm just going to jump right in to what i'm wanting!

i'm going to start off with facial products, because skincare is very important to me. basically, i'm a skin care junkie.. please don't judge.

first up is a gel-based cleanser. when i wake up in the morning, i don't like to exfoliate, i just want a gentle cleansing to my skin. i personally prefer gel cleansers over creamier ones.

after i cleanse my face in the morning, i use a light moisturizer. this one caught my eye:

i love a good exfoliating session at night. i feel like after a long day full of makeup and stress, my face needs a good scrub. i have two options for this part of my regime. the first is a normal manual exfoliating scrub, with a beautiful scent.

the second option is one that i am dying to try out. it is all the rage right now, and i've heard that it makes your skin almost entirely better than ever.

after a good scrub, my skin needs a little extra moisture to recuperate over night. my choice for this is said to be a miracle product for people with dry skin, so i think it would be perfect for a nighttime moisurizer for my normal skin!

about once a week, i like to treat myself to a nice mask to brighten up my skin when it's feeling dull. this one is exfoliating and full of goodness! winner! i would use this in the place of my normal exfoliant, but for most masks, i would cleanse as usual then use them.

now i'll move onto body products, because in winter, my skin gets super dry and needs a little extra tlc. one of the most important things to do for your dry skin is to exfoliate! this scrub is my favorite scent from b&bw, and i've been going into the store repeatedly and considering buying it, but i'm holding back.

then, of course, we all need a good quality bath or shower gel! this just happens to be the one that has caught my eye lately.

with winter break coming up, i'm looking forward to... baths! i live in the dorms, and there are no bathtubs here - just showers. not that i would use a bathtub if it were here... but i digress. i need a relaxing bubble bath or bath oil to use over break, so that i can calm down from the stress of this first semester.

have i mentioned that my hands are the worst? they get so dry, no matter what the season is. i'm looking for a fabulous hand cream, and this just may be it.

i'm not too fussy about hair care - i'll use just about any shampoo or conditioner if it smells good. i know that may not be the best, but i find that it works for me. i do really care about deep conditioning treatments, though, because i have partially bleached hair, and it really isn't as nice as it used to be. that bothers me. it also means that i'm always on the hunt for a good hair mask. this is the one i want!

the last portion of this post is the best smelling.. perfume! i have two different ones that i really would love to own.

i'm terrible at describing scents, so i'll just show you the bottles and leave the links. #lazy


my wishlist is entirely too large at the moment.. i think i have pre-christmas syndrome. what can i say?
