That's Just Lovely

One thing I love about blogging is all the different friends that you make. You can really feel like you know someone even if they live clear across the country. I "met" Brani a few months back and just fell in love with her. She is simply gorgeous, funny, and down to earth. I really feel like we are friends. I love this girl and I know you will too! So glad to have her guest posting here today:



Hi all! My name is Brani Laine and I blog over at “That’s JustLovely”. I have been a faithful visitor to “Something Brought You Here” for some time now, and I am so thrilled and thankful that these beautiful ladies are allowing me to take up some space here. I mostly blog about beauty & fashion, but occasionally, I like to share my funny life stories with my readers. First, here are a couple of pictures of me, so you can put a face behind these words:
 
 

 

 

Now, back to the important stuff. My faithful visitors enjoy these sorts of posts: “What I Wore”, reviews on beauty products (I have so many products, I could do one review on a product I own for a year and be okay), tutorials on beauty-related things, ramblings about life, love, and the pursuit of happiness, and links to other amazing blogs I “discover”. Also, I’d like to think I’m a little bit funny and extremely blunt. I believe that’s why my followers like me, and I love them for that. So, I’d really love it if you decided to hop on over to my space on the blogosphere and see for yourself. Perhaps you’ll like what I write about, too? Here’s an example:

Brani’s DIY Exfoliating Body Scrub

(There are so many similar to this one out there, but I swear I’ve been using this scrub since I was in middle school.)

 

What you will need:

Olive oil

Honey

Sugar (regular ol' sugar)

Small tupperware container (enough to hold a can of soup)

 

Why is that it? Because this is the easiest and most affordable DIY scrub you will ever use, most likely.

 

What you will do:

Take the tupperware container, make sure it is ALL cleaned out and dried. Pour in 7-8 tablespoons of sugar. Pour in (judge this on your own, please; it will vary per person & you might need more or less) 6-7 tablespoons of olive oil. Then add a teaspoon of honey. Mix together well. It should look similar to this (which is the batch I just made):




 

Now for the best part--get in the bath tub (or shower...but I prefer a relaxing bath) and take the scrub (with your hands) and rub it ALL over your legs, arms, and whole body. Keep out of private areas! Yes, it will be oily and you will think "Is it supposed to feel this yucky?" The answer is yes. Once you let it sit for 10 minutes, rinse it all off, and when you're out of the bath or shower, dry off! Use the towel to rub off as much as you possibly can. You will still feel a bit oily, so don't sit on any furniture or anything you wouldn't want to possibly get a spot on. Sitting on your towel would be the best choice. After the oily feeling starts to go away, your legs and body will still feel soft (maybe you will have a man touching those legs of yours later? He will love the softness!), but the best part of all is that you exfoliated like a pro! WARNING: PLEASE, PLEASE BE CAREFUL getting out of the shower/tub after using this exfoliating scrub because it is oily and can be very slippery! Also, warn anyone that will be showering/bathing after you. Clean out the tub as best you can! One time my boyfriend almost slipped after I did this DIY scrub. Lesson learned. Enjoy, and please do not hesitate to let me know how it worked for you!

 

Once again, thank you to Whitney & Nicole for letting me guest post! You are wonderful, ladies. J
 
Isn't she JUST LOVELY? I seriously love her and her blog. Go check her out and leave her some comment love!

A Girls Kind of Therapy {Guest Post}

Hey Friends! Don't forget to enter our giveaway going on now! I am still out of town camping/hunting with the hubby. {Can't wait to come home and take a shower} Since I am still gone and I just know how much you miss me I thought I would give you another little treat- A Guest Post. My "real life" friend Mallory has started up an awesome new Fashion blog called A Girls Kind of Therapy. Besides blogland, I actually know Mal in real life. We danced together in Jr. High and were on Drill Team in High school...we go wayyy back! This girl has always had a great sense of style and is here to share that with you today. Show her some love!!

***********************************************************************************

Hey guys! My name is Mallory from A Girls Kind Of therapy. I am so excited that I get to be a guest on this wonderful blog. I am sure you guys already know how amazing this blog is, it is definitely one of my daily reads because it seriously has a piece of everything from fashion, cooking, crafts, and just their fun lives! I have known Whit since Jr. High and she is seriously the sweetest girl ever! I am so blessed to know her!
Anyways, one of my favorite pieces in my closet this summer has been my maxi shirts. I am convinced that there is no comfier piece of clothing then a maxi skirt. However, I feel like they have became really trendy this summer with pairing a bright top, sandals, and of course those flashy accessories. But, I am here to tell you to not pack them away with those summer clothes! Keep them around for the fall by pairing them with a warmer, darker top. You can even finish it off with a blazer, boots or flats
This is a piece that I don't think I can part with for any season.
