Norwegian Gem Cruise Shopping Haul

Happy Wednesday!

So yesterday I went running with the girls from work, came home around 7:00 and passed out by 8:00. 

I must have been tired!

I was disappointed though, I took photos that morning of the items I purchased and didn't get to blog about them last night. 

So, today is the day! :)

I didn't really buy much because we spent most of our money on excursions and photos while we were there, which is what I really wanted. 

But I did pick up some things. :)

The bracelet I purchased from the Bahamas in the straw market, starfish earrings were purchased on Norwegian, and the ring is from Great Stirrup Cay.

 

The watch and the scarf were purchased on the boat. 

I bought the watch for running. Although I haven't used it yet :/

   

The cupcake charms are from Universal Studios in Florida. 

They're not any brand name, they were just $7 each. I thought they would look cute with my pink Pandora bracelet though. 

    

Have a great night everyone!

Norwegian Gem Cruise 2013

Happy Monday!

I just want to say I had such an amazing weekend and I can't wait to share pictures soon. 

We did a little get away and it was so much fun. :)

I want to share some photos from our cruise. 

Some is an understatement, I want to share a lot, but I'm trying to keep it to a minimum. {Haha}

This was from our last day when we were watching the sunset.  

On the back of the boat. 

 

 Ya, I attempted rock climbing, only got about half way. :( 

 

 

 Our bed room. We got a mid inside stateroom. 

 

Bathroom. 

  

Shower. 

 

Outside bar-b-queing! 

 

Laying out, trying to nap.

  

White out party. 

 

Dancing with my family. :) 

 

We ate at a specialty restaurant and ordered the chocolate fondue. It was delicious. 

 

 Elephant towel animal.

  

We went to Universal Studios. It was amazing! 

 

I have so many more photos. I may do another day of pictures. We also had professional photos done I will share too.

I'm off to bed, goodnight!

I'm not sure what yet, so I'm all for suggestions! :)

Have a great weekend everyone, and I will see you on Monday!

Sephora, Bath and Body Works Haul

Happy Thursday!

I have a really random haul for you guys today. 

I didn't know what to blog about today because I didn't get a chance to take pictures of anything, plus the weather has been real crappy, so the pictures were have come out real dark.

Anyway, these are items I bought over time, took pictures of, but never posted about them. 

So today is the day!

I picked up this nail polish on sale for half off. Which is such a steal for OPI for Sephora nail polish. 

I don't have a top coat like this, so it'll be a nice addition. 

I used it once, but never took a picture of it. :/

 

I picked up this body wash from Bath and Body Works when it was on sale.

I believe Bath and Body Works is having their semi annual sale right now?

If they are I need to get there, haha. 

 

 

I also picked up these sandals for the cruise, but never got a chance to wear them. {I actually think I forgot about them} But I'm not going to return them, they were super cheap from Ross. I picked these up for $16.99 at Ross (of course, I'm loving it there!). These are also by Tommy Hilfiger. 

 

 

I picked up these oven mitts in Philadelphia. 

They match my apron perfectly, it's the same exact fabric. My best friend purchased the apron for me for my birthday two years ago, and I was SO excited to find oven mitts that are the exact same fabric.

In other news:

I still have my giveaway going on, but I actually COMPLETELY forgot about it until yesterday when I was cleaning up. 

I'm not sure a lot of people entered so I am going to do another blog post about it. 

I will have a strict end date as well. I will repost about it tomorrow or this weekend!

I'm sorry for forgetting about it!!! :(  

No one really responded about wanting to see pictures from the cruise, but I really would like to do one post dedicated to it. So I may do a post this weekend or one next week. People did respond that they would like to see more personal things so that will be one of them. Not sure I will do it all the time. But I'd like to hear your thoughts! :)

Have a great night!

Weekend Shopping & Fitting Room Pics

Happy Tuesday!

I did some shopping this past weekend. It was so nice to just have a weekend off to do anything we wanted. 

We decided to go to a car show and then went shopping. 

I love Ross, I always find such cute things there and for real cheap. 

I picked up all these items for $50. 

Such a steal. 

 

 I decided against this dress because it was see through. Unfortunately, because it's so cute. 

 

And I didn't pick up these white lace shorts either. But now I'm regretting it. They were only $8.99 

 

I went to  Kohls today but I really couldn't find much I liked. I think I only picked up two things. 

I may post about that tomorrow. 

Have a great night everyone! 

DIY Fabric Button Earrings

Happy Monday!

So it was a pretty crafty weekend this past weekend. 

I decided to go to Jo Ann fabrics and attempt to make fabric button earrings. 

I went off a YouTube video that I saw for the tutorial and decided to share what I made. 

They're actually really simple to make and so cute!

 

So these are the kind of earrings I'm talking about. 

They're super easy to make and take very little time.

You will need:

1. Fabric (perfect way to use up those scrap pieces of fabric)

2. Buttons

3. Stud earrings
4. Hot glue

This is the tutorial I used.
But the back of the button box explains it perfectly as well.

Here's what I made:

 

 

So those are some of the earrings I made. 

I went to Joanne's and asked for the smallest amount of fabric allowable and it was 1/8th of a yard. So some of the fabric only cost me .37 and I hardly used any of it so I still have a ton of fabric left over. 

They have so many cute fabrics right now. 

The buttons were $6.99 for a packet of 18. Originally $9.99 but I had a 40% off coupon. 

And the earrings were $1.94 for a 16 pack. 

Anyway, if you have any questions leave me know!
