Bath and Body Works Sale!

Today was the start of the Bath and Body Works Semi Annual Sale and you can bet your butt I was there as soon as the doors opened!

I tried to not go over board my first trip in because the sale lasts 3 weeks and usually by the last week items will go even cheaper. Here is the damage I did today:

Flower Shop candle (paid $9.75), Coco Lobo candle (paid $4.75)

Coconut Lime Breeze shower gel (paid $4), Lemon Vanilla shower gel (paid $2.75)

Aruba Coconut Intense Moisture Body Cream (paid $3.50), Aruba Coconut Glowing Body Scrub (paid $3.12)

Moonlit Path Anti Bacterial Hand Soap (paid $3), Netted sponge (paid $1.75)

I went in thinking, "okay, you need to get hand soap, candles, and something coconutty" so I think I pretty much stayed to my plan except for the netted sponge which was just really cheap and I figured I hadn't replaced mine in awhile. Originally all of this crap would have cost me $86.50, so I ended up saving about $54!

 Oh, are you wondering who the cuties are in that last pic? Well my friends, let me introduce you to my baby pug Charlie and her daddy/my beau Justin. They wanted in on the pic taking and struck this pose just for you!

Bikini So Teeny

I recently added a new nail polish to my collection when I came across a $2 off coupon for Essie. Behold the beautiful Bikini So Teeny from Essie's Summer 2012 collection:

This polish is a true periwinkle lavender blue. I don't have anything like this in my collection but boy or boy do I love it! I've really been into wearing a matching manicure and pedicure and this color looks lovely on the toes as well (I'll spare you the pic of my tootsies). This polish went opaque with 2 coats and the formula is really nice. The other colors in this collection are really cute too and I wouldn't mind purchases a few more for these hotter months : )

So the name is Amber Jane and this is my first post--eek! I've been following fashion/beauty/life blogs for a couple of years now and I've always thought it would be fun to do one myself but I've never fully committed to the idea. Well ladies (and gents?) I'm committing now and I can't wait to share all of my crazy ramblings with you all!

There will also be quite a bit of life stuff shared on here too because I have a crazy boyfriend and two sweet fat little pugs that I loooove gushing about.
