Spa Weekend Haul!


So last Thursday and Friday, I went on a Spa Weekend trip with my friend Kaitlyn.
Of course, we went shopping...
Is that even a question??

Wedding Expo Gifts
There were a few of the same vendors at this Expo as there was at the last one (like Stargazer Designs, who actually recognized me!), but mostly they were all new to me!

 















There was not as big of a collection of vendors, but we still got some cool stuff!
The bag at this event was significantly nicer and cuter than the last one. It says "To Have and To Hold... all of your wedding inspiration."  How cute is that?
From some of the different vendor's I received a homemade chocolate truffle, a koozie, a photo booth picture strip, a tattoo and pin, dove chocolate, a baby flashlight

Walmart
Sally Hanson Bleach - So far, I am super impressed with this stuff!  The first time I used it I made the large batch, my friend and I used it, and still had a TON left! So this will last quite a while.


Engagement Ring - Well... a fake one!  If you would like to see the full explanation as to why we were buying engagement rings you can check it out here!

Kia
Key Copies - I probably spent the most at the Kia place of anywhere... which is very sad... But I've locked myself out of my car twice lately, so these were necessary!

Bed Bath and Beyond
Hangers - Which are very pretty, and blue, and were on sale, and I had a coupon, and I will take off to college with me next year... but I left them in my friend's car...

Bath and Body Works
Candle - This smells like heaven, was on sale, and my mall just got their own White Barn candle store, so they gave me a cute little pack of their matches brand as well!
Perfume - I got this for free with a $10 purchase!  With all I have, that is the only way I ever buy BBW anymore...

Icing
Earrings - Both these and the headband were only $2 each!
Headband - So I thought this would be cute if and when I go to a music festival again this year!

Ulta
Bridal Emergency Kit - So... I was already in a bridal mood, what can I say? Also, this is usually around $25, and I got it for $7!  I put it in my hope chest for one day when I do get married!

Old Navy
There were such amazing sales here...
Cardigan - on sale for $9.98, it's called the Grandpa Cardigan, how cute is that?
Tank top - This would be the best deal of the trip, at $0.47!


Bathing suit tops - The one on the left is a blue aztec print with a razor back, and tie in the front... it is very interesting to say the least!  The one on the right is just a traditional black top.  They were $1.47 each!


Shorts - I love athletic shorts, and had looked at buying these before but decided on another pair... Then I found these on sale again for $3.47!

Vera Bradley
Lunchbox - I have been looking at this for a  while now, but didn't think I really needed it.  I now carry a lunchbox everyday again, which I haven't done since like middle school! So yeah... I needed it. And it is so cute!

Homemade Beauty: EXTREME Moisturizing Lotion

You Will Need: 16 ounces baby lotion 8 ounces coconut oil (solid form, not melted) 8 ounces vitamin E cream Directions: Mix together with handheld mixer until it resembles thick creamy icing... just don't eat it ;) And remember to store in air tight containers!  Side note, If you don't have coconut oil you can substitute in Vaseline it will just be a little greasyer :)

Nadine West: Third Shipment

Another Nadine West bag!  This is such a fun little bag, and I have really looked forward to every one thus far! These are the Simple Sparkles "diamond" stud earrings.  Though these are very cute and I actually kinda wanted to keep them, I have too many pair that are too similar.  These did retail for $6.49 though, which is suuuuper reasonable. This is the Make a Wish necklace.  I wanted to like this based off of the name, but it just really isn't my style!  I don't feel like I can pull off a crown necklace/princess persona...  But anyway, this retails for $17.99, which I feel is a bit much for cheap jewelry. This is the Constance top.  It is like a baby pink chevron cami, and I wasn't into this really.  I have enough camis, and am not really into printed ones, so this just wasn't my style.  This retailed for $9.49, which isn't too bad Fianlly, we have the Zipped floral romper, and as you might have guessed it has a zipp...

Apple Spice Cupcakes

Line muffin pan with baking cups. Set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, sugars, milk, and vanilla until completely smooth.  Set aside.  In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.  Slowly add the wet ingredients and stir until JUST combined.  Do not overmix. Slowly mix in the apples. Fill each baking cup about 2/3 full and bake for 22-25 minutes or until a toot...
