Birthday Trip Haul!

TJ-Maxx
Black T-shirt - Just needed some basics!
Baby Lips - Like I don't have enough of these already... But this is a new color! And it's Limited Edition!
The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil Skin Care Set - This set comes with toner, face wash, lotion, and pure tea tree oil.  It has great reviews, and I'd been wanting to try something like this for a while, so why not!
Paper Straws - Because sales...
Book with Ornament - This cute little picture book comes with an ornament that the child writes their name on, and then they press a button and it glows, so Santa can find them!  I thought I might give this a present, but then I decided it was cute and I wanted to keep it for when I have my own house and family one day (which I did a lot of during this trip...)
Dry Shampoo - This is my favorite, and I've been out for a while, and it's much cheaper here.

Hobby Lobby
Tiaras - I know this seems odd, but I needed them for the Christmas play I am in
Icing Tips - These were so cheap here, and they had so many options!  I limited myself to just two...

Kirklands
 "A" Ornament - I bought this kind of assuming I will end up marrying the guy I've been dating for two years now, considering his last name starts with an "A"... But I thought this was super pretty, and was only $5!

Vera Bradley
Vera Bradley was having a HUGE sale at the outlets! It was 50% off everything, with an extra 20% off your final purchase!
Card Holder - This is a double ID holder to hold your license and student ID.  I'd been wanting one for when I transfer to a four year school, and it was on sale!
Lanyard - I currently have a Chapel Hill lanyard, because I love the Tar Heels, but lately people have been asking me if I go there, and I hate saying no... So I now have a cutesy one instead!
Phone Case - My other case was looking kind of yucky, and though this one won't be as protective, its so cute!

Dollywood
Simply Southern Shirt - I am such a typical white (southern) girl... But these shirts are so cute!

Books-A-Million
The Great Gatsby Phone Case - I loved this book, and I was so excited to find this case on sale!
Peter Pan Socks - These were only $2, an are so freaking cute... I want leggings in this same full print!

Christmas Place
Cookie Ornament - This was on sale, and is also for my future house! I love the ornaments that look like food!

Paula Deen's Restaurant
Peach Cobbler Chapstick - Because I basically just wanted something from her restaurant... I bought Mom butter flavor!

Dollywood Resort (Pokeberry Lane)
Cup - Because I am totally obsessed with these cups!! And I had to have something from the Resort
3 post cards - I thought these were so pretty! This is what I had in mind when I bought them, and I am really happy with how it turned out!

Thistle Dew Me
This was a super cute store in Gatlinburg which had tons of these kitchen themed ornaments! I bought mom two, and two for me, but I wanted them all!
2 Ornaments - I chose this star cookie cutter (which I actually thought was a gingerbread man...), and a heart tiny pie pan!

Gatlinburg
Simply Southern Shirt - Well this one is a little different than my many others... it has long sleeves!  This was also the cheapest I had ever seen Simply Southern shirts, which was around $25-27
Sticky Notes - Because I have an unhealthy obsession...

Blueberry Crush Sangria

I'm considering a new series on this blog... How would you all feel about wine Wednesdays?  Not every Wednesday of course, but just to mix things up sometimes!  Most all of the drinks I make end up being something I concoct from various ideas and recipes I see online, and then add wine to it, and voilĂ , wine punch!  And I see a distinct lack of wine punch or creative sangria recipes on Pinterest, so look no further; I'm coming to the rescue! I made this drink recently for a party in which the color theme was purple, so of course we had to have a purple drink!  It was met with much praise, and I highly suggest giving it a try!  It is a very sweet drink, but can be toned down based on your preferences.  It would be the perfect way to bring in Spring!  (If it is actually Spring where you live, we just pretend here, it is still snowing) Ingredients Blueberry syrup: Bag of frozen blueberries (minus 1/3 cup.) 1 cup sugar 3 cups water ...
