Manicures, Weenies, Nail Polish, & Spending Money

Where am I? Why is this post so late?  Oh man, I feel like I'm losing my mind... So many things to do, and so many more I want to do.  It's like all of those things I'm putting off are in the back of my head yelling "Do me now!" while new ideas are bursting through at the same time.  Holy. Cow. At least my creative juices are flowing-it would be worse (I think) to be sitting here with no ideas.

This weekend wasn't super eventful, but it was a good one.  Friday night Julie came over and we grabbed takeout from Costa Vida then went home and started watching the 4th season of RuPaul's drag race.  Julie and I gave ourselves manicures and Jon & Meggy came over for a few beers and watched with us.  RuPaul's Drag Race, good friends, and nail polish all make me happy.

Saturday morning we got up and went for brunch at a little local place called The Lazy Day Cafe.  Their lemon pancakes are to die for-I seriously want them again.  They made me happy.

Sunday I went out and spent way too much money.  I've heard it said that we work ourselves to death as Americans and then go out and blow all the money we worked so hard for in an effort to relieve stress.  Yep.  Definitely what I did on Sunday.  We ran to the mall because the roommate wanted to go to H&M, so I went to Sephora to pick up my birthday gift (free Benefit They're Real! mascara and a Benefit Watt's Up Highlighter stick!) and ended up buying a tube of Benefit Boo Boo Zap which is supposed to help with acne.   I'm excited to try it.  Trying new beauty stuff makes me happy.  So does free stuff.

Well, while I was there I remembered that I was about out of Aveda's Damage Remedy (which I use every single day) so I swung by for some of that, and also grabbed a bottle of Aveda's Be Curly Curl Enhancer to try.  Love it so far.  Well then we stopped at Target... Grabbed some Peach Baby Lips, and found that their scarves were all 50% off so I ended up buying three only to come home and find out I owned all three colors I'd chosen... So I will be giving some of them away here on the blog soon! haha!  Aveda makes me happy.

Then I went to TJ Maxx with Julie where I fell in love with a suitcase... Which ended up being way too big for carry on which is what I need.  So I'm thinking I might get this one, what do you think?

So yeah... I spent way too much money and I think I'm going to spend more to buy new luggage for this trip... Oh well. I can't help it if buying pretty things makes me happy...

What is making you happy?
