My new journey

As many of you know, I am planning on moving to Terre Haute in August. I am wanting to attend Indiana State University to get a bachelors in Chemistry. I know, I know, chemistry is hard. I'm excited and nervous at the same time.

A few weeks ago, I had a yard sale to raise money in order to attend college. This past weekend, I drove to Indiana to register for classes, making a stop in Ohio to see my brother. I made enough money for gas. That's ok though, because I do have some money saved up in the bank.

Well, I am posting today to tell you about the weekend I just had. I will be posting more about my adventures with school and the move. Hopefully it will be entertaining enough to bring you back, lol.

My brother came into town from Ohio a couple of weeks ago and before he came, he asked me if I could take his brother in law back to Ohio when I visited. Of course I said yes, because that is how I roll. FYI: generally when my brother visits, he brings his wife and her brother along with him. She has a sister here, so her brother likes to visit with them in order to see his sister and some friends that live in the area. :-)

Well, Friday comes and I leave the house to pick Josh (the brother in law) up. With it being tourist season, it took me about two hours to drive through the tunnel, round trip. It put me back a little farther than I had wanted, but I didn't mind too much. He had offered to help with driving as the day went on, so it was fine because I knew that I had help. I try to avoid driving after dark. I'm weird, I know.

Well, to move along, We get to Ohio safely around 11:30. It's about an 8 hour trip. All is well.

Monday morning, I wake up around 1AM so that I could get my things together. It was a 5.5hr to 6hr drive from my brothers house to Terre Haute and I wanted to be able to get there to look at apartments before registering for classes. My brother said he'd go with me, and we left around 2:30.

The beginning of the drive was a little scary. For one, I was awake, but still felt a little groggy because it was so early. The fog on the road was ridiculous, especially since it was pitch black out. I could barely see very far in front of me, and being unfamiliar with the roads, I didn't really know where the curves were or where to expect them. I remember thinking the whole time, "please, sun, you need to come up now". I figured with the sun up, it would help the visibility drastically. Soon though, the sun did rise and the fog went away.

About an hour before we got to Indianapolis, I began to see lightening in the distance. It was almost back to back. As we drew closer, the rain hit us hard. I could hear the sound of hail slamming onto the car. Again, I was faced with low visibility, but I drove on. I knew that we would get past the un-welcomed weather and it would be sunny again.

Upon merging onto the 70 to drive towards Terre Haute, we left Indianapolis and the rain behind us. I was thankful to see the hail and rain fade away as I drove towards what will be my future.

I will be posting more on my day in Terre Haute at another time. Keep your eyes posted for the joys of the day and the frustration of decisions. It will be filled with advice, locals, the 41 and much more. Stay tuned! :-)

CB Select - New Line by Castle Baths

Castle Baths is introducing a new product line, CB Select, this year. It will include 12 of the most popular scents around the world. “I was in a beauty store in Vermont and asked the sales associate what their most popular scent was at that time.” Laura recalls, “She looked at me and said it was Eucalyptus.” Eucalyptus is a scent that both men and women enjoy. Laura continues to say “I purchased a bottle of Eucalyptus bubble bath to try. My husband seems to spend more time in the bath with it than I do!” Ever since, her mind was being flooded with ideas as to how she would introduce Eucalyptus in Castle Baths.

In the first week of January, Eucalyptus was introduced on the Castle Baths website. Currently, the scent comes as a bath salt that will enchant anyone using it, even those walking past the bathroom. It has the tendency to be deemed a sensual and sexy scent. It allows couples to be drawn together and gives them a chance to add some romance in their lives.

Eucalyptus has also been known to revitalize a fatigue body. Its scent entraps your whole being and gives you the uplift that you may need. Sara, one of our customers, emailed us after receiving the Eucalyptus salts. “Last week, I was feeling a little down as I sometimes do before that time of the month,” She explained, “I felt at my wits end. I drew a warm bath and added a handful of the Eucalyptus salts. Within minutes, I could feel myself becoming more aware and happier. It was just what I needed!”

Eucalyptus is an amazing scent that has so many purposes. It can also help one that has a cold or sinus infection. We all know this is a little weird, but it’s true! How can one scent be both sexy and help relieve cold symptoms? Eucalyptus can even help with muscle aches and cramps. It is wonderful in every sense of the word.

Castle Baths has a sale running this month to introduce the Eucalyptus salts. If a customer spends $100.00 before taxes and shipping, then they will automatically add in a 16oz Eucalyptus salt to the order, free of charge. This only applies to items purchased from the CB Classic and CB Spa lines. That basically means everything on the site except for the pet line. “I generally run sales separate with the pet line.” Laura explains, “I have a sale within the pet line for pet owners.”
