Today was such an interesting day..well not so much interesting, as..well...it did not go as planned, but there's a little good in each day I'd like to believe 1. I set my alarm for 8:30
-Woke up at 11:30
2. Was headed to work out, then realized time was not on my side, so...
3. Thought "hey I'll go buy my mom's birthday present quickly before class at 2"
4. 1:30pm...Still no luck
5. SO I decided, class isn't important it'll be the only time I skip...
6. So instead I had a day full of shopping :)
I finally found my mom's gift's for her birthday. I hate picking out things that I know people either won't need or don't want, so I finally found the perfect little gifts! I also did myself the favor of picking up a few new items for my beach trip. |
| A candle! These are so perfect. My mom loves candles and to top it off these have leopard print tops! I bought the "Beach Blonde" scent: "A crisp invigorating scent reminiscent of sand, warm suntan oil and sea mist." I know my mom will love it! |
 |
| I noticed my mom "repinned" this quote and I also really like it...then I came across this in a Hardware store! "The cure for anything is salt water- sweat, tears, or the sea." Isak Dinesen This bath salt is called Restore and is so relaxing after a long day! |
Behind the Glass is a local store in Auburn, AL. It has really cool, trendy clothes, shoes, accessories and other odds-and-ins...This store carries many brands, to name just a few: BCBG, Free People, French Connection, Citizens of Humanity, Ya, Velvet, Steve Madden, Lucky, Sam Edelman, and more! Some pieces are a little pricey, but I think you pay for what you buy. I visited Target after shopping at Behind the Glass and was thoroughly...unsatisfied. Don't get me wrong, I DO love Target, but the material and stitching on these pricier pieces are longer-lasting!

| Lavender soap! Did you know: Lavender works as an Aphrodisiac ? Here's a few items I bought today-->   |
 |
 |
| My mom loves coffee products and I'm interested to hear how these work! Instead of having watered down iced coffee from the melted ice, make a fresh batch of coffee and pour it into these molds to freeze! It's "coffee ice cubes." It will be sure to savor the flavor! Nothing went quite as I had planned, but it was a much-needed, productive day of me time. And I finally got my mom's birthday package shipped off after roaming around in the loading garage of Kroger to find the perfect box to put her gifts in! I wish my mom a happy early birthday and a wonderful Valentine's Day, both of which fall on February 14, year 1960. |
