Favorite Thing: Receiving Mail!

I finally received my Lilly Pulitzer agenda in the mail on Monday! I ran out in the pouring rain to accept it from my mail carrier and sprinted back inside so that my precious little baby (read agenda) didn't get soaked. I ordered mine from Country Club Prep and received a fantastic deal on it! I mean, who doesn't love 20% off and free shipping?!

Before ordering I was back and forth between Tusk In Sun and Trippin' and Sippin'. If you know me, then you know how obsessed I am with Trippin' and Sippin', so it shouldn't be a surprise. 

I ended up ordering Trippin' and Sippin', so imagine my surprise when I opened my package to reveal Tusk in Sun. It was the jumbo agenda I had ordered, but not quite the correct pattern. I honestly wasn't upset, as I had a hard time deciding between the two in the first place. I emailed CCP to let them know about the mistake, and they were beyond apologetic and immediately offered to send me a return label and to correct their mistake. Because I loved Tusk in Sun (almost) as much, I chose to keep the one I received, and they sent me another promo code for 20% off to make up for the mistake. I clearly became the biggest winner in this situation!

Meet my new baby!

And, like any good, Southern girl should, my agenda has already been filled with the schedules for my favorite college and professional football teams (read Gamecocks and Panthers)

Sorority Girl Wine

Hey Y'all!

I'm so pleased to announce that I am now a rep for an up-and-coming website called Sorority Girl Wine! Make sure you check them out for all things wine related! As a new grad, I figured it was about time to become a bit more refined in my taste for alcohol. The days of Natty Light and Burnette's are (hopefully) behind me forever and my future holds wine and nicer liquor (like the kind on the middle shelf, because I'm not too fancy). So far this has been a wonderful experience for me and I can't wait to see what this opportunity will bring!

What are some of your favorite wines?

My Ultra Ulta Obsession

I had never visited Ulta until about a month ago, and on that day I began a new phase of my life. I am well on my way to becoming a VIP member and I no longer have enough room in my makeup box for everything. Yes, I said box, because a simple bag has been too small since I turned 13. Recently I bought Ulta's sculpting palette in Astoria and I am in love. As a high-ranking member of the chubby cheek club, I try anything and everything to make myself appear to have cheek bones. However, I don't enjoy spending hours in front of the mirror applying makeup that will most likely sweat off of my face in under an hour. Ulta's sculpting palette was the perfect combination of ease and great results. If you haven't tried it yet, I highly recommend it, and they usually run sales every other week (I got mine for $5)!

The Negative Side of My Online Shopping Addiction

Like the majority of the female population, I have quite a problem with shopping. It developed into an addiction once I graduated college and had nothing better to do than sit at home and buy things online. This quickly became an issue when I started buying things that had no practical use, plus I was running out of money. With that being said, I was in LOVE with every item I purchased (mostly from Etsy, because that site is a drug to sorority girls), except for one. I ordered what I thought would be a gorgeous white comfort colors tank top (perfect for the beach) with a Lilly Pulitzer pocket and my monogram on it (because everything should be monogrammed). I placed this order on May 22nd. It is now July 2nd and guess who JUST NOW received her item? This girl. I'd be ecstatic to finally have it, except for the fact that it's pink, doesn't have a Lilly pocket, and has someone else's monogram on it. Imagine my surprise that somehow my monogram of bHa had somehow turned into kSa. I'm writing this as a warning to all other online shoppers. Make sure you read the reviews page on ANYTHING before buying it! If I had taken a look there before placing my order, it would have saved me a lot of money. The seller has multiple bad reviews with the same issues that I've had. 

I hope my misfortune can help some of you!

The Art of Walking Into Unwanted Interactions

Let's be honest here. How many times have you gone out in public looking fantastic, I mean 10 out of 10, red-carpet ready, F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C and you don't see a single soul that you know? If I had a dollar for every time that had happened to me, I'd have about $5 (I rarely put THAT much effort into my appearance). Now, on the opposite end of the spectrum, the amount of times that I've gone out with no makeup on, wet hair in one of those messy buns that you just throw up on the top of your head (you know the one.) and have seen NUMEROUS people that I know is immeasurable. I could be a millionaire for the amount of time those days have happened, well maybe not a millionaire, but I wouldn't be eating Ramen Noodles every night either. 

Today was one of those messy hair days. My father, bless him, asked me to drive to town (a solid 10-15 minutes from my house - we live in BFE) to buy energy drinks for him (he drinks one everyday) and my grandmother wanted a bag of potatoes, because who doesn't need a bag of potatoes at noon on a Thursday? Upon entering Food Lion, I immediately spot someone I graduated with. After suffering through the typical small talk, I turn to make my getaway, and run directly into someone else I had went to school with (who I am embarrassed to say that I don't remember his name). Once I had escaped my second encounter, I sprinted to the checkout counter, however made the mistake of looking up and making eye contact with yet another high school classmate, one that I couldn't stand in school and still don't care for 4 years later. Once finished with my order, I made a beeline for the door, while staring at the floor the entire time. Luckily, I made it home with no more incidences. 

Welcome, ladies and gents, to my so-called (awkward) life.
