New Toothbrush

I know this is stupid...but, this new toothbrush I bought is, by far, the best toothbrush I have ever used. We (my fiance and I) were at CVS Pharmacy for new toothbrushes and there were hundreds to choose from. We saw the sale tag on the Colgate 360 toothbrushes. Normally, I would not spend $4 on a toothbrush, however, I was willing to take a chance because it was a very pretty shade of pink!!! On top of the color, it has a tongue and cheek cleaner. When I am brushing my teeth, I am also brushing the inside of my cheeks and it leaves my mouth so clean and fresh feeling. This toothbrush gets an A+!!! When this one wears out, I will definitely be replacing it with the same thing!!!

Back to School

I am required to wear a uniform at school. This consists of navy blue scrubs, white clinical/tennis shoes and I must look my best at all times. I always get my scrubs from Uhan's Department Store in Pontiac. They are best known for being a Carhartt retailer but, they do have a good selection of scrubs and at very decent prices. I bought these shoes because they are so cute!!! I got them from DSW for $50. I am so excited to actually wear them because they were so comfortable when I tried them on in the store.

A Warm Welcome...

Welcome to my blog!!! I hope that it is interesting and catches the attention of people who are like me. In the next 18 months I am: graduating school, getting married, hopefully buying a house and I am sure many other exciting things are going to happen to me!!! I am very excited that all this is happening because I have waited so long for it. Through my blog, I plan on sharing recipes, my outdoor travels, cheap wedding ideas and anything that seems to help me get through school. I also plan on reviewing new items I purchase. I hope that this turns out to be a great endeavor for myself, as well as you.
