Mini Getaway

Hey ladies!

Last weekend my two best friends and I had a mini getaway. We had plans for Six Flags, but decided to postpone that. Instead we had a sleepover (Yes, we still have those... lol!), did a little shopping, and went to Dave and Buster's.

 Our sleepover was Friday night.  I always enjoy spending good quality time with these two. It's never a dull moment! We have plenty of laughs and make crazy memories every time we're together!

We planned to head to Atlanta that Saturday morning. Who were we fooling? We didn't leave until noon. Put us together and you have all kinds of slow! Trying to get a few quick pictures is usually the issue!

Our first stop was Atlantic station. While looking for parking I spotted Target and y'all know I couldn't just drive by! A little browsing, a quick mirror picture, and a cute scarf on clearance for $5 then we headed to Atlantic Station.

It was so hot and my purse was so heavy that I might have been too irritated for any pictures in Atlantic Station. We made a stop at the MAC counter in Dillard's and guess what I finally got!!! No... guess!! Ruby Woo! I've been wanting it for a while, so I finally gave in to temptation. 

We also stopped by Lenox Square before we headed to Dave and Buster's. I went in Forever 21 and bought nothing. It's definitely a store that I would prefer to shop online. It was a little too overwhelming for me.

This was my first time at Dave and Buster's and I really enjoyed myself! I LOVE to have fun so I definitely have to go back soon. I was being a follower and tried a peach long island iced tea... no thanks. It was a little too sweet for me. But who was going to waste a drink?

This was the first game that we played and after that we were too busy enjoying ourselves to take any more pictures. 

Overall, it was a good couple of days and nice little break from normalcy. 

What have you ladies been up to lately?

Who Loves Target?

It's official. Over the last few months Target has become one of my FAVORITE store. But when I got excited about the information that I'm about to share, I knew I had a problem! Lol! So I'm literally in the middle of catching up on the dozens of blogs that I follow (I stopped to do this post) and I just came across this information on Fashion Without Guilt. 

I HAVE TARGET'S MARKDOWN SCHEDULE!!! 

Yes!!! And after that is an even better tip. I'll save the best for last.

Monday // Kids’ Clothing, Stationery (office supplies, gift wrap), Electronics

Tuesday // Women’s Clothing and Domestics

Wednesday // Men’s Clothing, Toys, Health and Beauty

Thursday // Lingerie, Shoes, Housewares.

Friday // Cosmetics

Now, here is the best part (in my opinion). If the price ends in 8, it will be marked down again. If the price ends in 4, it's the lowest price. Good info, right? I know!

Since shoes were marked down today, I foresee a trip to Target in the very near future! Hope this excites someone else as much as it did me!

 

*I found this information on Fashion Without Guilt

Later y'all!

Last Friday, two of my best friends and I went to Applebees's for drinks and a very late birthday celebration! I always have a good time with these girls. I wish we could do this more often! Here are a few outfit pics. 

*I was rushing and didn't feel in my brows. o_0 I was hesitant to post these pics. Lol!

 Top & Jean Vest - Old // Pants & Shoes - Target // Fedora - Forever 21

We wouldn't be us without a little craziness!

Later ladies!

Canon... I Need YOUR Help!

How badly I want a Canon T2i or T3i. 

I'm drooling as I type this post. *sigh* I'm trying to decide if I want to save up for one of these two or purchase from QVC with their flex pay. Or........... just find something less expensive. It really pained me to say that. I want to get into photography... which is my main reason for wanting one of these cameras. Otherwise, I would definitely just find a less expensive good quality camera for blog pictures. Which brings me to my question: What camera do you use for your blog pictures? I think I'll end up settling right now just so that I can give you all decent pictures here asap. So let me know... because frankly, I haven't done any research at all. It seems like too much boring work reading review after review... lol. So I appreciate your help in advance.

WTF Did He Just Say?!

source

So I'm at my desk working today when a supervisor walks up. As he's approaching me, he says "Kunta Kinte. Mrs. Kunta Kinte." WTF?! My reaction was "What?!" A neck rolling what-the-f kinda what. Was he serious? Now to keep myself from getting upset, I just started laughing. He proceeds to say something about me going "back to my roots" and that he actually likes the "natural hair thing." Y'all... is he really serious right now? I still don't know if I should have been offended or not. He didn't say it in a rude way, but who calls someone Kunta Kinte?! I think he just doesn't have enough sense to know better! But really? Who does that?! What would have been your reaction?

Get to Know Me

I always like to read random facts about the bloggers that I follow. In the words of another blogger (which I can't remember), I love to know the person behind the blog. So I thought it would be fun to share a few random facts about myself.

1. I love Clorox wipes! I always try to have at least one container that hasn't been opened. I've ran out once and don't want that to happen again!

2. I'm a people watcher. I think that's why I like reality tv and personal blogs so much.

3. I love photography. At one point of time I was ALWAYS taking pictures. My current camera (Nikon CoolPix S70) takes horrible pictures, so for a while now I've been stuck with my camera phone. I've just started saving for a new camera. I want it for the blog and because I'm interested in "real" photography. I would love to have a business one day.

4. My dream camera right now is the Canon T3i. I REALLY want that camera. But the price tag... whew!

5. My favorite college football team is Auburn University's Auburn Tigers! WAR EAGLE!!!

6. I love Chick-Fil-A. Can I get a number 8 - 12 count with water, 2 chick-fil-a sauce, 2 bbq sauce please?!

7. I love HARD!

8. I have no kids yet, but a goddaughter who I love to pieces! We share the same birthday. I think there's something special about that.

9. I love music... mostly southern rap and R&B. I've loved T.I. since I'm Serious... "do it baby, stick it baby!" Lol! Don't judge me!

10. I'm a Beyonce stan!

As I think of random crazy facts about myself, I'll jot them down and when I have enough I'll do another post like this. Later y'all!

So with that being said... I love Rihanna's new hair color! I also love this striped sweater. What do you guys think?

And can I also let it be known that she KILLED at the Grammy's with this dress!

 

Honey, GET YOUR LIFE!!!
