Hello Cuties~
I finally had my "gal moment" at the beach! I always see gals like Georgie and Natsumi make a whole fabulous day out of it. They look so cool and poised beachside with their makeup and cute setup. When I go to the beach (which isn't often) I end up looking washed up (ᵕ—ᴗ—). This time I was determined to be like all the other gyaru!
I was surprised to wake up somewhat early after the late night partying. Clearly we weren't going anywhere for breakfast so I took my time doing makeup.
I video chatted with Prince while dolling up~
Finished just in time to have breakfast while everyone watched some housewives reality tv show (lol). Nothing like stuffed breakfast biscuits, mimosas and trashy tv in the morning.
ꉂ (´∀`) Soon everyone got changed and headed to the beach!

Makeup and fit check! Feeling confident and very gal in my all animal print attire~
We had a pretty good set up! A huge umbrella, tent, blankets, speaker, hard seltzers and snacks. I was so ready to splash around, but first, bikini photoshoot! Biggest shout out to Ahmahrii and Chase for taking these for me. (ꈍᴗꈍ)♡
I'm surprised at how long I lasted out there. Usually I don't do well in the sun. I finally got to use that new whipped sunscreen I bought. I shared with the gang too. Some of them sun-tanned for a bit. Kelsey brought her own snorkel (˶ᵔᗜ ᵔ˶) she was determined to see some sea life.
Before Kels went in and came back with her mermaid curls~
Brian kept us laughing all day!ꉂ (´∀`)ʱªʱªʱª
I went back and forth between playing in the water and sand, coming back for snacks, and pictures of course.
Aquarius babes (^з^)-☆
The blurry pics were such a vibe, I love them ♥
I was pretty scared to go out far into the water (can't swim) but my friends held my hand and encouraged me. Plus seeing Kris go out far helped (she's so tiny). But that courage only lasted so long before I got smacked in the face by a wave . . . hard. (*꒦ິ꒳꒦ີ)
But hey my lashes and eyeliner survived the smack! That salt water had my eyes streaming tears so the tinted sunscreen was a mess. I ditched the lashes and decided to people watch (lol). Earlier they wanted me to show them the beach baddie pose~ I want everyone to get the fabulous photos they deserve. ^^
Then I remembered we had stuff to make sandwiches back at the house. So half of us ran off to make lunch. I was so sad to say bye to the beach~
I think no one disagrees that a hot turkey sandwich and some chips are an undefeated combo after a beach / swim day! After everyone came back and ate we decided it was a good time to play a game. It was called "For the Girls". It was basically like truth or dare, "concentration", and "most likely to" combined into one game.

Soon we washed up and got ready for a night out!
Somewhere on that itinerary it said we all wear pink but I missed that part apparently. (I'm still so sad about this, I had plenty pink dresses back at home). But! My dress still had pink in it so . . . I fit in enough. Brian was not so lucky. ( •̯́ ₃ •̯̀) He missed it too but all he had was green. (╥ᆺ╥;)
Dress . . . Shein
Shoes . . . Guess

And most gorgeous bride to be ♥
We decided to have dinner at this pretty cool Asian fusion restaurant.
This place was really cute! I'd love to come back one day but maybe in winter. The menu has lots of ramen and soups. I really wanted to try them but it was far too warm for ramen.

sticky ribs
We roamed the area afterwards to scope out some bars.
Then we found an ice cream parlor!
Would you believe this place had a full case of dairy free flavors?!
I was so happy to get my sweet treat (lol)
SO good! ( ´͈ ٣ `͈)
We were honestly still wiped out from the night before so after dessert we called it a night. Sadly it was our last night in Pensacola. In the morning we had brunch before finally hitting the road. We found a spot called Aunt Katie's. The place was packed, but it was so good in the end.
Of course we had to stop at Buc-ee's on the way back home!
Totally in love with Chase's bumper sticker!
Krissy wasn't feeling Buc-ee (lmao)
My Buc-ee swag~
Snagged a pic from online because I forgot to take one myself.
Writing this post makes me want these snacks again (lol). Honestly writing this post makes me miss everything about this trip. It was my second time ever taking a trip with friends and not Prince or family. I hope it's not too long before my next one. I feel our bond grew so much in such a short time~ Here's to the last splash of the Summer!
