Missed the movie... but had some fun shopping.

Ugh I keep meaning to write first thing in the morning... and I just haven't been waking up that early. Normally I'm up pretty early... but I've been cleaning up my room late at night... and I was just kind of exhausted today... so that didn't happen.

Another thing that didn't happen: Going to see Coco! My mom and I tried to get there early to see the 2:30 showing of Coco- but it was sold out when we went there! So we went shopping again...

But to go shopping... we had to pass the Food Court... not usually a bad thing- but it smelled TERRIBLE. I don't know what it could have been... it was near a Bananas and a Green Leaf- which sometimes smell terrible... and there were a couple of new places in that food court... I'm not eating there again though because it just smelled HORRIBLE!

We did get some Christmas sale deals at Hallmark, Disney Store and I got some $3 Wallflowers from Bath and Body Works. I also got some things from Forever 21... I usually kind of knock Forever 21... but I was looking for something specific to go with a Velvet Jumpsuit that I plan to wear for New Years Eve. The Jumpsuit is really pretty... but it needed like a jacket or something with it... so first I saw a velvet jacket that I kind of liked... and I thought I would wear that anyway so I still ended up getting it... but what I got to go with the jumpsuit is a Furry Vest! I've been wanting a furry vest since Scream Queens was on... and now I have one! Which I'm excited for! It looks really cool with the jumpsuit and the woman at Forever 21 really liked the way it sounded too. She said it has a Janis Joplin vibe... she didn't see the Jumpsuit but... I'm excited about this outfit and I was happy I asked her about it.

I also got a pair of earrings and a choker that went well with the outfit too... I already had a bag and shoes that go perfectly and the woman from Forever 21 seemed to like the idea of a pair of sunglasses with them... and i have a pair of blingy sunglasses- so I like that idea too. The whole outfit is pretty cool... you can check out an OOTD on my beauty blog on New Years Eve... but it's cute! I'm happy with everything I picked out.

I felt like I was more brave asking for help at Forever 21 because I've been watching Safiya Nygaard on youtube and yesterday I watched a video where she asked strangers to pick out her outfit... and I just thought that was kind of cool... so this Forever 21 lady helped shape my outfit idea... and that was kind of cool. Got me out of my comfort zone and it helped me pick out some items to get a look together!

So that was kind of cool... then I went out to dinner with my parents and then went to get Coffee and I got some drugstore makeup! My mom got me a gift card for $25 at the drugstore... plus I had a $10 off $30 gift card... still the drugstore is pretty darn expensive!  I used the giftcard- then some and I only got 4 things lol. Makeup is expensive! But fun!

Forever 21 was expensive too... I was kind of surprised but I did get 2 jackets and 2 pieces of jewelry... so I guess it's not that bad... but still... slightly surprised... but not disappointed.

Anyway... now I'm watching Modern Family and I think I'm going to get back to cleaning soon... so yeah!

Byeee!

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

Uhhhh... Where Have I been?

 So it hasn't been that long- but I did mention that I wanted to keep this more of a daily-ish blog than I have in years past... and my last post was the  4th and today was the 11th. Did I give up on my resolutions already?  No/Sort of... sooo basically I was kind of considering the real start of the new year January 5th... I was very busy with work things up until the 4th... the 4th was the big work event that I had to do... and then after that I could focus on whatever I wanted to focus on... and my blogs were going to be the number 1 thing that I focused on for sure... I might miss a few days... but surely I'd do something for this blog right on the 5th after the big work thing was done... so just leading up to that as long as I post something- everything is good right?  Nope- I realized my room design... needed some refreshing. And then one project turned into several projects and then that took a few days... I think I started on doing stuff on Wednesday of last ...

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...
