Welcome back, Bri!
I took a little “Staycation” this past May Long Weekend and
went off the grid. Sadly, this meant abandoning my sweet little blog as well. I
didn’t even do anything cool, or go anywhere exciting. My son and I hung out
around home, and we just relaxed. It was awesome but it’s back to the grind
now. I wanted to highlight some random things I have loved over the weekend.

| Snapchat with my new hat that I sent to my friends.... Aspirations for a Beaumont edition?? |
I have been loving Forever 21 lately. They have had some
wicked “coupons” come through to my email over the past few months and I have
been quite impressed with everything I have seen from their “new arrivals”
portion of their website. Usually, I shop online for everything from Forever
21. There is such a sense of peace to be had from opening my laptop at my own
leisure and casually trolling through the website. I have ordered COUNTLESS
times from Forever21.com, so much so that I know my sizing in every different
style of clothing like the back of my hand. I recently visited a new location
of Forever 21 as it opened recently and I had an email discount code for 40%
off a regular priced item. I was quite pleased with my finds: a cream coloured
lacy tank, a brick coloured satin-y sleeveless top, and a floppy hat, perfect
for wine day-drinking on a deck during the summer. Total cost for all three:
$32. Score!
Sephora.com. It has been so good lately, and the free
samples have been on fire. Whenever you order from Sephora, you get the choice
of three samples, usually from around a selection of 10 or so. I always like to
choose fragrance samples, as I find they are the most useful to me. However
over the weekend they had a mascara sample and an eyemakeup remover sample available
which I thought was amazing. It is a genius way to try new things without the
risk of investing (a lot of) money in these products. More often than not, I have
fallen in love with the things I have sampled. Wait. On second thought, this is
actually a dangerous situation, and should probably be stopped immediately. You
know, for the sake of my bank account.
Drinks in a pitcher. We had a Sunday Funday on the 17th
and hung out on the deck all afternoon while we waited for GOT to start that
night. (I can’t even talk about that….) I decided to make summer-y type drinks
to celebrate the beautiful weather outside but didn’t really have any specific
kind of recipe to follow. I started with making mango juice from a Minute Maid
frozen can, adding half a bottle of Sprite and half a 26 of Malibu rum. It was
delicious and quickly disappeared. For the next batch, I made peach punch, also
from frozen, and added the other half bottle of Sprite and half a 26 of
raspberry vodka and blue caracao. It was beyond. It tasted exactly like a blue
freezie.
The Mindy Project. I went on a Mindy Project bender this
weekend and watched the entire third season again over the course of Friday, Saturday,
Sunday and Monday night. I love that show so much, and am still quite upset it
was cancelled. The episodes are so fast paced and jam-packed with dialogue,
hilarious jokes and beautiful clothes. Everything I love. Also, Morgan Tookers
might be my favourite character ever on a sitcom. Hysterical.
My True Religion jeans. I wore them every day this weekend
and realized all over again just how much I love them. They fit like a glove,
are perfectly “worn in” and feel beyond comfortable. “Truly” (get it?) obsessed.

| MAC lipstick in Girl About Town |
The Bachelorette. The new season started on Monday and my
girl Kaitlyn was chosen to be the star! As I write this I am proudly sporting
her signature MAC Girl About Town lipstick in her honour. I am pumped for the
new season and by the looks of things, to quote Chris Harrison, it’s shaping up
to be the “most dramatic season ever”.
Those were just a few of my most enjoyed things this past
weekend. Looking forward to the weekend ahead where I can chill out again with
my kid. And blogging everything, of course!
