Retail Therapy
Yesterday my beautiful cousin, Emily, drove all the way down from Orange County just to go shopping with me.
We spent hours (I’m not exaggerating) in the thrift store scouring the racks.
We tried on clothes and took pictures of each other since there was no dressing room.
I love how Emily takes an equal amount of joy with me in seeing the possibility of second hand things. In making up outfits with new-to-us items and trying to find the pretty in “pretty ugly” things (like a skirt with embroidered sail boats on the bottom).
We walked around like we were the only two people in the store laughing and taking ridiculous pictures. It was so refreshing and such therapy to completely be myself with someone who loves me and enjoys the same things as me.
And here is Emily’s fabulous outfit that she wore yesterday. A+ for layering.
What do you enjoy doing that makes you feel new and refreshed?
A Spa Facial For A Drugstore Price
I am obsessed with skin care. In fact, before we had kids, I used to get a facial once a month. You know, before the responsibility of children and owning a house set in.
Now I give myself facial masks at home once or twice a week.
I have recently discovered the best over the counter facial peel I have ever tried and it was less than $15!
My face felt so tight afterwards and my skin feels so healthy.
I picked mine up at Sprouts, my local grocery store, but you can also find it here on Amazon for much cheaper!
(Sorry to frighten you with a picture of my post-shower, mask face. Just keepin’ it real, folks.)
This is not an advertisement. I am genuinely THIS stoked about this product. Go try it for yourself and you’ll see. 🙂
