Brace Free at Fifteen

As you may already know I am a fifteen year old girl who is a freshman in high school. Most kids my age and in my grade have braces. And so do I ... or well I used to. That's right you heard it right here. I Morgan DeCamp have finally broke free of my chains. I am free from the tracks. This face will brace no more! (a.k.a. I got my braces off). I'm actually so happy and can't believe that after two and a half years I finally got my braces off. The best part is, after my retainer I'm done. There's no more having to go back to get braces a second/third time. If I wear my retainer like I am suppose to, I should be brace free for the rest of my life. Isn't that exciting!

Look at those pearly whites! 

So the thing is, even though I am ecstatic about this whole event I don't know why everyone is so excited for me. It seemed like once I got my braces off all adults thought that I had gone through a huge sudden change. No. I literally just sat in a chair for an hour while someone removed metal and glue from my teeth. I am still the same person. I just have straight teeth. It really shouldn't be that big of a deal, but it was. Once the orthodontists had finished my teeth they had me wait in the middle of the room. I was very confused when all the sudden adults started circling me like vultures. Then came the music or should I say banging tambourines randomly and shouting loudly. I don't even know what they "sang". I stood there not knowing what to do. I mean, what should I do? Should I smile at the adults that I don't know? Should I glare and make them think I hate them? I'm pretty sure I ended up doing both. To top it all off, at the end of the "song" they sprayed silly string on me! WTF. I was severely confused. Even after that my whole way out of the office they were congratulating me. Like what? And when I got home my mom was like "Oh honey look at you. You are so grown up; a young adult. You look so beautiful now." Like seriously, was I not beautiful before? I still a young adult before. The only difference from now and this morning is that there isn't metal in my mouth anymore.

Anyway,  it's not like I am not excited to get my braces off. And I understand two years of my life, that's a big chunk! But still getting your braces off doesn't really "change" you. It doesn't make you older or more mature. I'm just me, except without braces! Overall I am happy about my braces being gone. I am very appreciative of my parents for doing this for me. So shout out to them for paying for all the painful metal in my mouth for the past couple years. Until next time!

My Lush Obsession

I know I have already admitted to having an addiction on this blog (a.k.a Pickup lines) but a new obsession has begun. Lush. If you don't know what Lush is then you must be living under a rock. Lush is an all natural cosmetic store. They sell all sorts of items: bath bombs, soap, shampoo, lotion, and even make up! Everything they make is hand made and comes from fresh ingredients. All of the products are either vegetarian or vegan. Plus to top it all off they are helping fight against animal testing! Not only are their products organic, of good value, and work they also smell AMAZING!

My Lush obsession started about a year ago. I was watching some Zoella videos on Youtube and I came across a Lush Haul video. I was just watching random stuff so I watched it. I was changed forever. There was a good month of me just watching Lush Haul videos. I was hooked. And when my family took a trip to Las Vegas I finally got to go to a Lush store and experience it for myself. I didn't want to leave. I ended up getting three things: the Ocean Sea Salt Scrub, the Cosmic Warrior, and the Mint Julep sugar scrub. All of these items were fantastic. After that, all I wanted was Lush. That Christmas, after talking about Lush non-stop, my parents bought me and my sister more. I was so happy. But then my Lush obsession came to a halt. I didn't really talk or think about Lush for a good six months. Until recently.

I don't know what set it off. Maybe it was me finishing my Lush shampoo or my sudden soap fixation. But my Lush obsession came back. I ended up more for Christmas (The Jugglers gift set and a gift card). I fell in love all over again. This set was incredible. I ended up asking for MORE Lush for my birthday and I got two more boxed sets (the Honey Bee and Celebrate) and the Rub Rub Rub bar. After this my collection of Lush was huge! Even with the huge amount of Lush I currently own I still went to Lush again this past weekend. See how bad my problem is? Luckily I am not rich so I only bought two items. Now my collection is up to twenty plus items and I don't want to stop. It has become a problem. But if you think about it Lush is perfect for me. I love things to be clean and smell nice. Plus Lush in itself is just amazing. Honestly if you haven't tried Lush please go and try it. It will change your life. And you will always smell amazing. Until next time!
