i can hardly believe we are ending april...
2012 has been beating the crap out of me. busy is a understatement. juggling fireballs and balancing on my toes, while walking a tightrope with no net, trying to smile. i realized taking a two week vacation is not going to happen (i haven't had a two week vacation since last august and i am starting to fray around the edges). SO, i decided to cash out some vacation hours and buy stuff. reminding me why i work so hard :)
my shopping "vacation":
new happy yellow bedspread (reversible so it was kinda like buying two for the price of one)
1500 thread count egyptian cotton sheets and duvet set (why the heck i didn't invest in these a long time ago is BEYOND me!)
nikon sb700 speedlight (this has been on my wishlist at amazon.com for some time and it was one of those moments when i pressed the purchase button and instantly got butterflies. when it arrived i was dancing in the living room excited!)
make up (nothing fancy, the same stuff i have been using for years)
face peel stuff (when i put this on i was like, okay this was a dumb purchase. then i was like, WTH and is this normal? THEN you wash it off and your like-damn thats pretty awesome)
moisturizer (trying something new because i have skin like an alligator)
body scrub (cause of the alligator skin thing)
sighed up for an e-course (self love... this could be a whole blog all on its own)
crystals from Australia (i'm pretty sure i could have bought these stateside but the idea that i'm getting a package from across the world is fun and makes me happy!)
and a used macbook (this is the best headache i have gotten in a LONG time. i'm an old dog and have never owned a mac. i'm still figuring things out. thank you youtube.com and all of your helpful videos)
i have to say this was one of my great ideas that turned out FABULOUS! i'm still not sure when i will be able to take off time off other than a day here or there, but shopping is good stuff!
