It's the Ribbon That Did It...


Oh, how I love finding something fabulous.

And, ohhhhhh...how I love being treated like a girly girl!

Yesterday...I went shopping...and ended up at "aerie".

I found the most fabulous jammies pants ever known to womankind. They are cotton lined flannel!

Cotton lined flannel!!! Can you imagine? It's like...like...like bacon wrapped meat. It just doesn't get any better!

But then...I had a total, "Shopaholic" moment. You know, when Becky just loves to shop because of the "carrier" bags she gets?

Yup...that was me, when I got this:

aerie, princess, pamper, ribbon
Oh...bestill my girly girl heart. I could've fainted.

Dead away.

It was like they just handed me a present! The tissue...the ribbon (the ribbon!!)...(pshhht...just neveryoumind that I bought it! It still looked like a present!!)


It was the ribbon that did it. Well, that...and the sales girl smiled at me and said, "I'll meet you at the end of the counter"...just so she could give me my gift personally.

Seriously? For me? Awwww...you shouldn't have!

And, with that I skipped out of the store, swinging my adorable little carrier bag (with a ribbon!!)...planning my next visit already.

I *heart* aerie. Sigh...

P.S--I almost forgot about the waterbottle giveaway!! But, I didn't (phew!!)!

Random.org chose #8...which is Ali!! Congrats, to Ali!! Send me your info, and I'll get this awesome bottle out to you ASAP!

P.P.S--(PSS? This one always trips me up!) Remember the "big" giveaway we talked about at the start of Hot and Healthy? Well, it's still comin'...but, it'll be review style, in a few weeks...to give it justice. ;)

    It's amazing what a little packaging can do for a gal! I once bought my friend a little Coach wallet for her birthday (because she LOVES Coach--me? I could take it or leave it) and they threw in a ton of extra "Coach" brand tissue paper. I gave my friend the wallet and the extra tissue and she was so excited about the extra Coach tissue that you'd think it was another (costly) gift! Crazy :) but I totally get it . . . if they'd have had Coach ribbon to go with it I'd have been set for Christmas!

Coming soon...

Come here looking for the tutorial? It can be found here:  Halo Braid Tutorial!  Let me know how it goes! I had something in mind to try on Baby Girl's hair the other day...my best bud, Dr. J, did something similar to it on Belle once, and I was trying to replicate it. Instead, I got this: Isn't it pretty?! It didn't take nearly as long as it looks and isn't nearly as intricate as it looks! Vlog tutorial coming soon...(for those of you waiting, I'm sorry it's taking me so long!)

Halo Braid Tutorial!

How appropriate, "halo braid", no?! ;) Finally, I have this ready for you...I apologize for the delay! This braid looks intricate, but is really quite easy and quick to pull off...the original video (prior to the warp speed braiding...watch the video to see what I mean) was just a bit over 8 minutes long...not too shabby! So, here you go...right in time for you to try it out on your little girl for Easter!
