Mmminty Clean!

Comments
I bought teatree mint shampoo & conditioner the other day, & oh boy, is it nice!  It makes the whole bathroom smell good, & it's definitely an eye-opener in the morning!  Along with a cup of coffee, I'm ready to go!  The brand of this wonderful stuff is Organix, & they have other shampoo scents I'm definitely going to have to try: shea butter, pomegranate green tea, grapefruit mango butter, cherry blossom ginseng, coconut milk, & lots of others that sound like they would smell wonderful!  There's something so nice about starting your day by singing in the shower & sudsing up with a yummy smelling shampoo!  Maybe it's a girl thing :)


I'm not what you'd call a green girl {not that I am not friendly toward the environment, but I don't only use organic products either}, but it is nice that this shampoo is organic.  Every Organix product is sulfate & paraben free.  And this shampoo & conditioner work well too, they don't just smell good!  My hair feels more full, plus shiny & clean!  A good hair day can makedifference in my mood, especially when it smells so good!

Have you used this before?!  If not, take a smell & I bet you'll want to give it a try!  Mmm Minty!  ♥

Hooray! It Arrived!

Comments
Earlier this week, I took the bus to Post {the car should be fixed any day now!} & Don met me at the bus stop with my new laptop! I was so excited! I haven't had a laptop of my own since college, which isn't a complaint. Really. I like sharing with my sweetie :) But now we will both have one of our own, no matter where we are in the world.

This one is great! My criteria were definitely girlie: I wanted it to be white & to have "popcorn keys".  Have you heard of them?  My mom's laptop has them, & after using it I decided that's what I'd like next!  They stand up a little taller than the rest of the keyboard, making typing feel a bit different.  I like it!

My brother is a tech genius, & he helped me with the rest of the order.  Yes, it couldn't just be white with popcorn keys!  I ended up getting a great deal on a Sony Vaio, complete with all sorts of impressive upgrades for a great sale price!  In the end, the one upgrade that sticks out to me is that I now have a turbo boost processor!  To go along with my turbo boost Mini Cooper, I suppose!

For all you techies who are interested in the sweet specifics {they don't really register with me, but my brother was very excited!}, here they are:

Product: US-VPCCW290X-LBOM
Component: Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium 64-bit

  And so now, I am typing in style!  Oh!  And I had my name engraved on it too.  Love it!

And for when I need to travel, a Vera Bradley laptop portfolio in Poppy Fields!  Thank you, Mama!
