It's Your Birthday!!

Sooo it was my birthday last week and I will have to say 32 is sitting pretty well with me so far :)  I like being even numbers as crazy as that sounds.  I also like that for my birthday I got some great discount coupons from some of my favorite stores and also got gift certificates as gifts.

I know some people think gift certificates are not a special gift but I disagree!  I feel like they are a win, win you spend what you would have normally spent and I don't return your gift :)  see everyone wins.

Here are a few of my favorite things that I got for my birthday.

1.  Tory Burch Wedges

My sweet and thoughtful friend from work gave me a Nordstrom gift card and I was actually holding onto a Nordstrom gift card since Christmas so I put the two together and got the cutest Tory Burch Criss Cross Wedges.  These are beyond comfortable and haven't left my feet since last week.

2.  Anthropologie Tanks

I love Anthro (as I call it)!  I know some people feel like it looks like a big ole flea market but not to me :)  I love everything about the store and shop there a little too often.  I got a 20% off coupon for my bday and headed right in.  I found the most amazing tank tops there and quickly snapped them up in every color.  First and foremost these tanks are reversible and can be worn with a v-neck or a scoop and they are seamless.  This is the perfect layering piece that I have been missing in my wardrobe.



3.  J.Crew Tunic

I love the Crew (yes I shorten the name of everything out of sheer laziness) and was beyond excited that the hubs got me a gift certificate there for my birthday.  There is a tunic that I have been dying for that is only sold online.  I ordered it right away and just got it in the mail this week and I am obsessed it is so beautiful!




4.  Banana Republic Necklace

My sweet mom-in-law got my a gift certificate to BR and I was thrilled!  I love, love all the jewelry at banana and had my eye on a certain necklace for a while.  I know I will wear this necklace throughout the summer and into the fall and actually have it on as I'm typing this :)

The Truth, The Whole Truth and Nothing But The Truth

I don't really want to write this post.  I want to crawl in my bed, with the covers over my head and watch the real housewives of nyc seasons 1 and 2 (before Jill and Bethenny hate each other).  I don't want to talk to anyone, see anyone or answer my phone.  In fact it's been on silent for the past three days.   I am writing this post because I started this blog as a living, breathing diary.  It is a fluid documentation of my life and what is going on right now.  Unfortunately what is going on right now isn't a fun trip, a great product recommendation or a great style entry... it is real life.   This week something sad happened to me and the hubs, we had a miscarriage.  I will tell you that I hate the word miscarriage it seems clinical to me.  What I have said is we lost the baby because that is how it feels to me.   Without boring you or scaring you with too many details I knew something wasn't exactly right.  I started bleeding and was away from home and my

At Home Facial Favs

Image
Happy Monday!  I hope you and yours had a great weekend.   On Sunday I gave myself an at home facial and documented some of it on my instastories and got 100 questions, ha!  So I figured I would share what I used here.   The first question I got was the frequency in which I do at home facials and I don't do them as much as I want to or probably should.  I aim for once a week but it's probably every other week.  I love going to a spa and getting a kick ass facial but there isn't always time and sometimes they can be pricey so I've developed an at home routine for myself. I will say as I get older my skin is changing so I'm having to investigate new and different products.  My skin is sensitive, prone to breakouts and can be super dry and super oily so it's a constant juggle for me to find products that actually work for me.  Recently I've been using a ton of philosophy products and I have loved every, single one of them so far!  I also love that you get

Old School Calendar

Soo I have a case of the Mondays and by the way it's Tuesday....booo!  I had a super fun weekend at Steeplechase and honestly wish Steeplechase happened about once every month because it was such a good time.  :) When the hubs and I returned on Sunday from Cville we started talking about all the upcoming events/weddings/trips/business trips etc. we had coming up in the next 5 months and it felt like an elephant was sitting on my chest!  I know I have all these things coming up but to be honest they are sneaking up on me.  For example I will be in St. Simons for a work conference next week and I completely forgot.  I leave the day after my birthday (is it just me or do birthdays get let special the older you get?)  So I have been scrambling all day to make my travel arrangements and in general get my sh!t together. I realized that I'm probably going to have to buy an old school day planner to keep the hubs and I organized over the next six months.  When I mentioned this
