H A P P Y - E A S T E R!

Happy Easter my dears! I hope all of you enjoyed it.

I love Easter. Not only because bunnies are one of my favorite animals but also because of the memories I hold of Easter.

The Easter bunny would always come and hide candy trapped inside pastel colored eggs all around my house. I would wake up from bed and open my door to be surprised with a large basket full of goodies. But it didn't end there! Those baskets were to be used for hunting! Me v.s. my dad to try and hunt and gather the most candy eggs. I would most often win but we always shared and traded our favorites. Almost like a spring version of Halloween!

Since my parents are away I didn't get to have my Easter tradition sadly, but I did have a wonderful dinner with my sister and cousins and that was fine by me as much as I miss my little tradition. 

The meal we had was delicious and I got to officially try polenta which is really delicious and now I want to have a whack at making it sometime.

The last magical part of the day was at sunset when I spotted a little family of deer in the backyard. 

I have a couple of blog post ideas rolling around in my head. A couple product reviews and another D.I.Y post. 

When it comes to blogging I have been recently just doing a lot of reading and research especially since everything else in my life is in a fast production stage. 

My friend and I are planning a trip to California soon, the school year is ending,It will be my 21st birthday on May 1st!( eeeek!) subsequently I have been planning to have a party later on in the month. That requires lots of planning and working! 

It's all pretty busy as we wrap up and prepare ourselves to  cannonball into summer! 

But do not worry! you will be hearing from me soon! 

See you later everyone! 

Show and Tell : Collective Haul

  

Whenever I see or watch a haul, my mind harks back to elementary school when we had show and tell. I think that was one of my favorite activities besides story time. I think we all like sharing a part of ourselves with others. The things we buy have reasoning behind them and are catered to our likes and personality. So, I see hauls as a very interesting and positive sharing experience. 

The weather gave us a nice, warm reprieve from snow storms this past weekend.

( aka : opportunity to get outside and also shop around!)

The first batch of things I got are shown in the picture above.

Boater Hat --- Forever 21

"Hipstery Glasses"--- Claires

Tokyo Milk Dark: La Vie La Mort Eau Du Parfaum --- Sephora

It's been a while since I have picked up accessories for myself 

I am pretty sure those glasses have changed my life! 

( I kid! I kid..)

I just really loved how they look on me. No matter how "hipstery" they look I just feel so good and cute in them. They are plastic lenses so they do get dirty quickly but I just never want to take them off my face!

Not soon after, a trip was made to Bath and Body Works where I took advantage of their famous two for $22 deal. 

Raspberry Peach Macaron

&

Renew and Refresh 

( Just two more beautiful smelling beauties to add to my ever growing candle collection.) 

      And lastly, I got two fashion bits!
        These are new stretches for my wardrobe and I love             the two pieces together and separate.
         
    ( Also the burlap bunny garland is also new~ -- Target) 
      
    Navy Polka Dot Cropped Top --- Forever 21
 Grey Striped Button Up ---Target


The end of February is near. 
I can feel some spring like energy underneath the ground and in the air. Birds chirping, warmer winds and a bit more blue sky than normal.
Its all rather exciting!
Hurry up spring! 

I hope you are all doing well.
Have you made any recent and exciting purchases lately?
Let me know in the comments! I would love to hear from you.
