Five on Friday ~ 3.21.14

Happy Friday ladies! We made it to the weekend ;)

 

Sorry I've been a bit blog-absent this week...the only excuse I have is that it was tricky getting back into the school swing after over a week off for "spring break".

 

 

Daydreaming...

 

I am starting to get a bit burnt out...and my vacation days are piling up, so it's about time to plan a mini-break (from both school AND work). We don't have the funds to go anywhere extravagant this year, but I'm thinking a mini trip to somewhere like Put-In-Bay or Marblehead (once the weather warms up) would be perfect. You can rent little cottages on the island...and I'd love to just relax, walk around, and lay out in the sun for a week. Need to get on this though, as May is my "break" from school, which doesn't leave much time to plan.

 

 

New...

 

I'm excited to be trying out a new local restaurant tonight! Aaron and I love finding new, interesting places to eat, especially that are specific to the downtown neighborhood we live in. My boss and his wife are taking us out tonight to Barcelona in German Village (for my birthday - which was in January - haha we are very bad at planning things). The menu looks delicious and I would love if the weather was nice enough to sit on this gorgeous patio!

 

 

React Faster...

 

Curse you Forever 21...I find something I like, and then go back to order the next day, and it's already out of stock (with no hopes of being re-stocked). I wanted this dress for a couple of things I have coming up in the spring (baby shower, parties, etc).

I need to learn from this, and act next time...it's not always best to think out purchases like this - because I end up missing out! Ergggh.

PS...what stylist picked these clunky black shoes to pair with this dress? Fired.

 

 

Give In?

 

Not going to lie - although I get hooked into watching the show sometimes, I'm not a huge fan of the Kardashians. BUT, I have been intrigued by their beauty line.  I pass it all the time in the stores, and wonder if it's any good. Has anyone tried anything from it? I'm interested in the nude lip gloss and the false eyelashes, but don't want to give in if it's really not worth it...so if you've tried it any opinions would be helpful! ;)

 

 

Necessity...

 

Why don't I own one of these already? I try to clean my makeup brushes about once a week, and then lay them flat on a small towel to dry (which I know isn't good for them)...this Benjabelle Brush Tree is so perfect. Waiting for it to come back in stock in white (of course)...then going to order it asap!

Well, that's all folks! Have a gorgeous weekend! I'm SO excited for some sunshine and warm temps!! xx
