Last weekend I went horseback riding and tubing for the first time ever! For my best friend's 18th birthday we all went to Helen, GA to go horseback riding then tubing on the Chattahoochee River. First let me say that I grew up in New York before I moved to GA. The only time I ever saw a horse was at the zoo. And although we used to live right by the Atlantic Ocean and I can swim, I NEVER dared to actually get in the water (besides my feet). To this day, I still feel some type of way about any kind of natural water (oceans, rivers, lakes, etc.). I just don't feel safe in them. But I sucked all that up for my friend and went tubing for 2 hours on the Chattahoochee River. It wasn't so bad until I had to get out of my tube when I got stuck on rocks and such. I really tried to avoid getting out. The rocks were so slimy and there were fish (and we saw a few SNAKES) swimming around lol.. I just felt more comfortable IN the tube. I'm glad I did it instead of being a little punk though. Lol, but the horseback riding was SO peaceful and relaxing! The scenery was so beautiful and my horse (his name was Edowa) was so sweet! I was actually nervous when we got there and saw the horses up close.. I didn't even want to touch them but once I got on everything changed. I really, really would love to go again!
Also in the past week, me and my boyfriend got back together. I didn't tell you guys that we even broke up lol.. but we did about 2/3 weeks ago. His 18th birthday was on Thursday (September 13th) and we got back together the next day. I'm not really surprised about it.. I knew that things were just too overwhelming for a little while for us to be together but now that we've settle down and adjusted, everything's fine!
Now for the cons of my week. So, last weekend I took advantage of e.l.f.'s online sale/deal. If you spent $20 dollars on any products you were eligible to win the fall favorites collection for free with a code that they gave you. I was very excited about this because I needed new products and brushes so it was an awesome deal for me! I did everything that was required and confirmed my order (which only came to $26.95 with shipping, normally would be about $50). It took about a week for my package to come but I was really happy when it came.. until I opened the box. I recieved all the items I actually paid for but they did not give me my free fall favorites collection. Instead they gave me a whole bunch of other products I did not order or intend on getting. I was very confused and disappointed by this so I checked the website. On the fall favorites collection product page, it did say that if items were out of stock they would be substituted. But, the items weren't out of stock when I ordered them. This made me angry so I sent a LONG email to customer service and I am currently waiting for a reply. I will keep you all updated with this discrepancy! But, on the other hand, I am very pleased with the products I did recieve (correctly):
I've already done my nails (inspiration on Pinterest) and used the makeup and seem to have no problem with it (yet). Speaking of Pinterest, I would love if you all followed me at lovekiara and on Instagram at lovekiara as well! And that basically concludes my week.. Hope you all are having a great day!
Looks like you guys had fun. I never thought about going horseback riding, but I definitely wouldn't rule it out. Tubing? Definitely. I'm just waiting on the right time to go. I'm not sure where this fear of water came from all of a sudden.
ReplyDeleteIt's good that you and your boyfriend were able to settle things. And, not everyone needs to know what's going on in your relationship. That was a hard lesson that I had to learn, but a good one. I wish the two of you well.
Tubing is so much fun. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much fun, but being scared to get out of the tube :O I get it, I was always scared to get out and getting stuck in the corner or to the sides was the absolute worst.
ReplyDeleteI'm going horseback riding next year and I'm super excited! Can't wait, can't wait! And I'm happy that you and your boyfriend were able to work things out and give it another go. It's like that sometimes. Love, you've got to love it. As for your elf order, -side eye, (as my cousin Soraya from femmeswithbenefits.com says), "mad disrespectful". They knew what they were trying to pull when they threw in that other glitter that they were trying to blind and excite you with, lol. Not. Slick. Glad you were able to get a quick response from them (newer post). Hopefully, they'll follow through with their promise. As I feel, they will. Keep us posted! Definitely important to know! Thanks for sharing Kiara!
