The Uniform Project

This is so cool

Today was actually clear and sunny. No rain! What a shock. I hope it will be just as sunny tomorrow. I also hope everyone is taking their mommies out to dinner because we all know they deserve some appreciation! Mine sure deserves some for keeping up with my spending habits back in the day, lol :))) I also plan to take my mom to see Iron-Man 2 in the evening since she never goes to the theater anymore and I really want to see the movie!

Me and the honey went on a date today. Just a relaxing hang-out date. Ate some thai food. Walked around Green Lake and played with EVERY DOG WE PASSED BY. What can I say, my honey loves dogs. Then we did a little window shopping which didn't really work out.

A couple H&M purchases. I love that store! A dusty rose pink sweater dress. It's sleeves are sort of cinched up to the elbows creating dolman-like sleeves. It would look perfect with leggings and a hair of heels. Price = $19.95

On a side note, my honey mentioned the other day that whenever we take couple pictures I always blend into the background cause I always wear earthy colors and he always wears bright colors which make him stand out in the pics. Then we went into this discussion about how it reflects so much of our personalities, yadda yadda ya... I've realize now that I am one of those people with almost a monochrome wardrobe. I have so much gray, brown, cream, and when I do wear brighter colors it's always a dusty, soft, faded version of the color. I really need to add a pop of bright, in your face color to my closet. Hopefully my next purchase will make a bolder color statement!

The second purchase is the scarf. This is a more close-up picture of it so you can see it's cute soft pastel floral print, which I love!!! It's the perfect spring scarf to throw onto a simple outfit to add some color. The best part is, Price = $4.95!!!

The date ended with a trip to our favorite tea shop, Shinka Tea of course!.......Then we went to Home Depot for what seemed like hours because my honey wanted to find a few things. I spent the whole time looking at paint and carpet swatches....boo


Seeing all those puppies around Green Lake made me miss my babies when they were wee little things. Here are some old puppy pictures.

Burt's Bees Face Creams!!

Lately, I've really been into organic skin products. I have really sensitive skin that breaks out in allergic reactions very easily. I make sure the ingredients in the products I use for my face do not include wheat germ oil or parabens. I tend to break out from those ingredients.

Recently, I bought some Burt's Bees face creams and so far I absolutely love them. No allergic reactions yet!

Burt's Bees Naturally Ageless Skin Firming Night Creme. The pomegranate scent is awesome, sweet and light. Although it looks thick in the jar, this stuff absorbs into your skin really well.

Burt's Bees Radiance Day Creme. This creme is lighter than the night creme and pretty much odorless. Like the night creme, it absorbs really well and I never get dry patches of skin anymore!

Evening Primrose Overnight Creme. Have not tried this one out yet, but I want to!!! I love the jar it's in :)))

So I was in American Apparel the other week to buy this shirt. $38!!!!!! I think American Apparel can be a waste of money sometimes. Well, apparently they sell nail polish now and I didn't purchase any when I was buying the shirt because I was already having a big debate over whether forking over 40 bucks for a flimsy shirt was a good idea. Fortunately, I love the shirt so it was not a waste, but I have decided to try out the nail polish next time I stop by the store again.

The three colors I want to try out are:

Berry Berry

Mouse

Dynasty

And here's the whole bunch


Also stopped by Victoria's Secret to use my secret reward card. (Oh why can't I be one of the lucky ones who gets something over $10 on these things) I decided to get a body butter since the one I'm using is almost gone. I've been addicted to "Love Spell" since high school, but I saw this pretty blue jar and decided to give it a sniff. It's called "Lost in Fantasy" and I abolutely love love love the smell. This one is kind of fruity like Love Spell but has a floral scent that balances out the fruit smell better than love spell which always seemed straight on fruity to me. It contains the scents of passionfruit, brazilian orchid and musk. So far, I like it better than Love Spell :P

I am in love with this girl!
