A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words

Hello lovely folks.  I haven’t rambled for a while so I decided to ramble and let my Instagram photos lead my way!  

First up… The Olive Branch Shower Gel from LUSH! *deep satisfied sigh*  This is my all time favorite scent in the world.  It is an unexpected favorite.  I have no idea why I link the scent to Shalimar but I do.  It is a deep mature awesome smell.  The notes that I get from this Shower Gel are mandarin and bergamot.  It is HIGHLY moisturizing due to the olive oil in it.  For the days that I let my hair air dry this is what I use as shampoo.  It leaves a sultry smell in my “looks-like-I-just-had-sex” hairstyle that comes from me letting it air dry.  It will always be a favorite–I also am equally in love with the Pop In The Bath Bubble Bar form Lush that has the exact same scent. 

In the picture below I am wearing the infamous Revlon Strawberry Suede.  It was made so popular by Lisa Eldridge who raved about it on one of her own blog posts and was very upset that it was discontinued.  If you want it TOOO BAD! It is gone forever.  But nonetheless, it is very pretty.  Maybe you can find it on evilBay?

This was a day that I was feeling extremely good about myself.  My skin was behaving (for the most part) and I basically went without a full face.  Powder, wash of a light colored eyeshadow, liner on the rims of my eyes, mascara, and gloss.  This may sound like a full face to some–but I assure you this is very plain for me.  

The next few pictures are from a trip to the zoo.  Me and my family (including BIL and SIL and nephew) enjoyed a nice day at the zoo.  It was 100 degrees and we literally were there for 8 hours.  We saw every animal there.  True story.  

The first picture is of a Silverback Gorilla.  He was massive.  I can’t even begin to tell you how freaking big he was.  He looked like such a gentle animal though——-until he threw his fist into the thick break-resistant glass that was between us.  ON TO THE NEXT EXHIBIT! O_O

I am not a huge fan of flamingos, especially the ones of the plastic variety, but these guys were cool.  The would put there head under for sooooo long while they were digging up food from the bottom.  Such a gorgeous color in person to.  Do you know why these animals are pinky-salmon-coral?  BECAUSE OF THEIR DIET!  They eat shrimp and algea and they get their coloring from their diet.  Such a cool fact that not everyone knows.  

This is my son, we will call him T.  He is feeding the birds in the aviary.  That little birdie has a verrry strong beak.  He kept taking the cup of sweetness from my son’s hand.  

And… some of you know but most of you don’t.  I was born and raised in Mississippi where everything is deep fried.  And in true Mississippi fashion, that is how I order my sushi.  MMMMMM!  Deep fried sushi is soo damn good.  If you don’t like sushi at all (or you are just nervous about eating raw fish), just try it deep fried.  Promise you will love it.  

Oh.. and if you have an Instagram account, follow me.  My name is LauraJean396.  I follow everyone back because I love the pictures this app turns out.
