Waiting for Numbness in my Mouth to go away!

Damn these infernal cavities (sorry)! My superjovial dentist told me I had to learn how to floss like crazy via the "School of Hard Knocks". End cliche. Onto college student weekend getaways!

MMkay, so travel! One area that I'm really interested in (like really) but have yet to delve into... so I'm excited!! So, I gotta be honest, I have been far too consumed with traveling to the Oregon coast for awhile. Oh, and here is where I add my disclaimer that I've only lived in two states, California and Washington, and really only have familiarity with those two states and the surrounding areas (i.e. Oregon!). So, if you were looking for anything on the East Coast or anywhere really besides the West Coast, I dunno, go ask someone else. Anyways, back to Oregon. The Coast! I will be using lots of exclamation points today! Erm. So I was aiming for the Cannon beach, Seaside, Rockaway area. They are noted for their laid back atmosphere and close by beaches with cool rock formations in the water and tide pools and ish. Which hooked me right there, ya dig? (I think the numbing medicine is still lingering =]). Add to this mixture that I have been trying to find a cheap place to stay there (note: The hotels there? Not so cheap) and I happened upon renting houses or cottages! So there's this website (link to follow) and they show rentals all over, and the best deal I could find is literally this little cottage that sleeps 6 but is so cheap I could virtually pay for it myself (virtually! I could also buy those Louboutins, but who wants to spend 1/5 of their savings on shoes?!). So yeah, this is quite the deal, and you could have a nice little relaxed vacation on the Oregon coast. Road trip! Granted, a) with gas these days, you're better off walking and b) it is only 4 hours and 38 hours from my current house, but approx. 16 hours from my old house in California, so Californians you're outta luck in this regard, unless you fly or set aside like more than a week of time off. $65/a night for weekdays and $85 for weekends fri thru sun

Like I said, CA and WA, that's all I got. I liked and picked this place because of the cheap price and I kinda love the decor. Coke dining set? Sign me up! It's in Venice, CA and I have driven through Venice, and it looks like such a FUN CITY! Like you can walk to the beach or go to clubs or shop antiques and have spin class all in the same general vicinity. A place you could go close by in CA while still getting away and relaxing. Oh, and if Tori and Dean still had their Inn in Fallbrook, I'd post that too =) $75 daily

So I hope that helped all you travel minded readers, especially since it was reader mail. And if anything, I hope you got some general and new ideas like: House Rentals! Little known vacations spots like the Oregon Coast! etc.

Lastly, my mom helped me demonstrate an excellent point, she was the one to post about the cute and cheap purse from Forever 21 in the last blog comment section. If any of you readers see a cute option that fits into the suggestions for any reader questions, go right ahead and post them. We'd all (especially me) like to hear any suggestions!!
