Faster Horses Festival

Is it just me or does country music make you think of summer time?

It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's been getting more and more popular with a lot more amazing artists! It's so outdoorsy, mellow, fun, and dancey with lyrics about love, heartbreak, summer, beer (lol), partying, etc. This weekend, we had a huge country festival for the first time here in Michigan. It was called Faster Horses, where several country artists attended and played all day for 3 days. The biggest well known bands/artists that I got to see were Dierks Bentley, Jake Owen, Florida Georgia Line, Thompson Square, Luke Bryan, and Jason Aldean. If you don't know them, you are missing out!

I camped out in our families pop up camper with 4 girl friends and my sister, and it was basically a huge party all around us! We had a group of girls next to us from Canada which was cool to get to know. We also had groups of friends at different camp sites who we met up with each day. People were up all night talking, drinking, playing music and enjoying themselves. You can just call it a big hillbilly sleep over. ;) The weather was so hot that a lot of us got sun burn and we were sweating non stop, but we didn't let it stop us from enjoying ourselves. There were a lot of yummy food stands and places to hang out at.

What I didn't enjoy was the fact that they didn't have actual bathrooms. We had to use porta-pottys which were absolutely disgusting. I literally only used it twice and drove a couple miles to a gas station at night and in the morning to use and wash up. Their showers were in a trailer. Another thing that was a little annoying is that their campsites didn't provide us with picnic tables or a bonfire pit.

The crowds for the concerts were huge and full of energy. I could tell all of the artists were really impressed with the turn out and enjoyed playing for us. Each performer did an amazing job. Thompson Square were so cute (they're married in real life) and kissed at the end. Jake Owen had a broken hand but didn't let it stop him from putting on a great show without his guitar. Luke Bryan shot gunned beers and signed peoples cowboy boots that were thrown on the stage. Dierks Bentley pulled a girl up on stage and danced with her and gave her his signed guitar. Just awesome personal touches like that make it so fun and worth it.

I will definitely be going back next year & can't wait to see what artists will attend. I would love to see The Band Perry and Little Big Town there next time. This was absolutely the highlight of my summer!

Jake Owen was awesome! Such a cute & fun man :)

Clothing Haul

Hi guys, sorry I've been a little MIA. I was off enjoying our 4th of July/Indepenence Day vacation up north at the lake and wasn't able to get on a computer, let alone get service on my phone which was torture at times.

I had a little shopping spree the weekend before the 4th, so thought I'd share what I picked up. At the store Windsor, I found some really cute lace crochet shorts. They had a bunch of colors, but I decided to go with navy and a pale pink/peach color. I really didn't need two, but they fit so good! I love that they almost look like a skirt at times but feel like shorts.

I ended up getting two tye in the front tops, one in tan and one in white. I'm a little disappointed because I took the tags off and washed them and when I put one on, it had a small run on the chest area. :( The quality of the material obviously isn't the greatest. I still think they're nice though. I also got an adorable pair of brown sandals that were just so beachy and pretty, I couldn't pass them up!

I went to H&M next and found some more shorts. They are the brand &Denim which always fits me perfectly! It made me happy that they fit me in a size smaller than I normally buy too, which is always a great feeling! :D The first one is a strange pattern, and I wasn't sure how I felt about it at first, but I really like them on. They have a pretty shimmer to them and are just so pretty!

That is all! 

I just ordered a bunch of lip products at walgreens so expect a post about them very soon!

Million Dollar Tan Review

Sorry all of my reviews so far have been about tanning products! But hey, it's summer time! :) I got the Million Dollar Tan in the mail yesterday and immediately tried it out because I was so excited about it. It came in a flat rate USPS packaging. They had it wrapped in cute heart tissue paper with a little note tied to it. It explained that they gave me two 4 oz. bottles instead of the 8 oz. that I originally ordered because they were sold out of it (WOW!), and they didn't want to delay my order. It also came with a note card explaining the product, and then application tips on the back. That was really awesome and helpful.

Once again, I showered and exfoliated first. My tan from the tanning towelettes I had tried a couple days earlier had already faded for the most part. I rubbed it in circular motions on my face (it says we can use it there without clogging pores!), and all over my body like a normal body lotion. It came out a translucent white and spread easily. 

It had a very faint smell that I can't really describe. Kind of plastic-ey? It didn't bother me though. I didn't really notice a difference on my skin until a couple hours later. It gave me a very deep tan with no streaking besides a tiny bit on my wrist where I probably stopped applying it.

You can really see a difference! The top picture was yesterday before I applied it, and the bottom was this morning when I woke up. It looks a little orangey but naturally, that's how my skin tans anyway. I like the results considering that's how the sun or tanning bed makes me look anyway! This was worth the money for me. $26 for the 8 oz. bottle on their main website, milliondollartan.com. This is a product I'll definitely repurchase when it runs out.
