MudLynn on the Move : Days 4 & 5

MudLynn on the Move : Days 2 & 3

The Week Ahead

Outside my window… It is sunny and beautiful outside.

I am thinking… About how cars need wifi installed in their system.

I am thankful… That I may have a riding job when I get to Washington. 

From the kitchen… A bottle of Pepsi.

I am hearing… The clicking of keys as my fingers type on my Macbook.

I am watching… Nothing.

Always one of my favorite things… I love coloring in my new coloring book. My mum bought me a Sofia the First coloring book and some crayons from Cracker Barrel. IN LOVE!

I am reading… Horse Lover's Daily Companion: 365 Days of Tips and Inspiration for Living a Joyful Life with Your Horse and Army Wives.

I am making… Nothing.

I am writing… This blog post!

A Few Plans for the Rest of the Week… We are currently in Illinois. Tomorrow, we begin the drive to Nebraska where we will stay with my mum's friend. The next two nights, we stay in South Dakota. Then one night in Montana. Then we stay in a hotel for one night in Eastern Washington, then we arrive in our final destination! All day driving and stopping for breaks!

MudLynn Update… MudLynn is doing good, she has been getting a wee bit hot in the car. She has had two little accidents, so I just bought her a diaper with disposable liners.

College Update… I really want a class or two to keep me occupied. I am so lost since I finished school. I can't wait to register for classes. I am quite bored.

Riding Update… I am currently looking for part time work in Poulsbo or Silverdale for the remainder of the summer. I am hoping I find something. I have found a barn where I can do schooling for trainer, which is basically ride time for me!

The Three L's

Like

I like traveling. I wish you could buy pets a seat on an airplane rather than put them in cargo. I think there should be a 35 lb weight limit in order to let dogs sit in the cabin with you. Mud is a great little traveler, so calm. She only needs to wear a diaper when traveling cause she has a tendency to leak.

Love

I LOVE GAME OF THRONES! I just finished the first season of it in the car on my laptop and I now I really need the second season… I am quite in love with Daenerys, she is such a beast. I just love anything medieval; from the gowns to the tack on horses.

Loathe

I loathe how cars don't get wifi. Why can't cars be built with wifi? It would make life so much easier for me since I am a blogger. I think every type of vehicle (car and airplane) should have a wifi system. I think some buses do.

Monthly Goals: July Conclusions

#1: Start a Calendar with my Scheduled Blog Entries

I have been a bit bad when it comes to blogging. The main reason is that I don't have any sort of physical reminder that gets me to blog on the days I need to. I am going to go to Michaels and buy myself a planner and write down what kind of post of write on the certain day.

For #1, I have done very well. I have been posting lots of new and different posts such as MudLynn on the Move, July Empties and others. I have made a list in the Notepad app on my computer of when I post things, plus I am starting to remember when to post. 

#2: Not Spend a Dime for Two Weeks

I am just going to admit it, I have a shopping addiction. I just really need to focus on saving my money for future purposes rather than spontaneous splurges. Instead of buying things, I am going to work my hardest at saving the money for something that I will truly cherish. 

For #2, I did okay on this. I didn't spend anything during two weeks, but after that I gave in. I need to put photos of things I want for long term in my wallet so that every time I go to buy something I see the photo and double think.

#3: Come Up with New Blog Posts

I feel like every week, it is the same blog posts; no variety. So, I have started exploring Pinterest and found some cute blog post ideas that I am going to do soon before this month is over. Also, I am going to be doing a daily blog post about the move from the East Coast to West Coast since we will be driving across the country. 

I have come up with lots of new posts! I am so happy that I am now adding posts of different varieties. It makes the blog seem less dull.

#4: Eat 3-5 Servings of Fruit and Vegetables a Day

I have been so bad when it comes to eating fruit and veggies each day. I need to A. eat healthier and B. eat more fruit and veggies that help my skin glow. So today, I am starting it off with red cherries and pineapple chunks.

Since we are in the middle of a PCS, it has been a wee bit hard to eating lots of fruit and vegetables. Although, I have been eating Clementines once and a while. Better than nothing. Once I get to Washington, I am going to eat healthier and cut out all the junk food.

MudLynn on the Move : Days 1

July Empties

 This is my first item and my absolute favorite. It is the Early-Harvest Raspberry Body Scrub by The Body Shop. The Body Shop is one of personal favorites because they're cruelty free. I starting to become more of a supporter for animal rights. Anyway, this scrub was heaven in a jar. The aroma was just delicious, so delicious you could accidentally eat the scrub. The scrub left my skin after a shower feeling baby butt smooth and soft. I definitely recommend this to you. I am going to buy this for the dorm this fall because of it's aroma and how it left my skin feeling soft. I also have the body lotion right now, but it isn't empty yet. I use it very sparingly because I want it to last.

Next, is the Cranberry Body Butter by Extracts. I did like this product. I have had this for probably over a year and I just finished it. The consistency was not sticky or goopy, but smooth. Applying it to my skin was so nice because it was smooth out evenly. It left my skin feeling smooth and soft. This is also a much loved item.

 Next is my Argan -  Rosewater Lightweight Moisturizing Face Lotion by Nourish Organic. Again, this is a cruelty free brand so I immediately fell in love with it. It was as gentle as a feather on my skin that I applied every night. This product came in my Ipsy bag which is why it was a small bottle. I think I used it all up within two weeks.

Next is my Opti-Free Replenish contact solution. This was the only solution I used for my contacts. It was great, I loved it because it kept my contacts nice and clean. I am currently not using this at the moment since my optometrist recommended a new solution for my contacts.

 Lastly is the Rosemary O2 Oxygen hair conditioner. This conditioner was one that you would see in the bathrooms at a hotel. I take a lot of these things so that I have travel sized products for when I am flying. I didn't notice major things about it after I applied it to my hair, but my hair did feel soft after.

It's good to take this hotel's shampoo's and conditioner's because the size is perfect for your carry-on.
