pinkberry

I went to pinkberry on Daddy's Day!

I invited the family in dad's honor.

Being the only pinkberry in town, we drove about 35-40 minutes to get there. We got there easily and we saw

a line going outside of the joint.

Whaaat? And dad hates waiting! But we waited anyways... that gave me time to observe the decor!

First, I have to say: I. LOVE. THE PLACE.
Not just because of the awesome frozen yogurt (which created a humongous party in my mouth... the best, the BEST yogurt I have ever tasted) but because of the modern touch!

Outside feel

Glossy orange walls reflecting swirly light accenting the yogurt

Retro touch booths

Small-stoned floor with a gloss layer on top (makes it look like the whole floor's covered with water)

I love it!! I couldn't stop staring at the walls and the seats and the awesome, super duper fantabulous swirly yogurt light. I wouldn't protest if that was my place ;)

The yogurt? If electronic samples existed, I'd put one up for you so you can taste the party too.

The view?

Celebrate with yogurt. Frozen yogurt.

Cherry Blossom

Today I got four Bath & Body Works items for free!!

I was jumping and screaming because I was so happy.

Here's why: since I got hired at my job I've been looking for a body butter that I fell in love with (that was in the staff bathroom for usage). The cherry blossom body butter. I had never been to Bath & Body Works and I never really asked where to purchase it. I just assumed it'd be super easy to find it. So, naturally, I went to Bed, Bath & Beyond. Why? I have no clue.

Long story short, I couldn't find it ANYWHERE.

I just skipped going to Bath & Body Works because I had no clue there was a Bath & Body Works store at both malls in town. Nice, I know.

But I just didn't have a chance to find it... so I got 4 for free in return. ALL cherry blossom. A coworker was giving them [and many more] away because she had too many. Sweet? I think so.

A hand cream, a triple moisture body cream from their signature collection, a body lotion (infused with real sweet cherry extract) and a body splash (infused with real sweet cherry extract).

A $54 value, for free.

Message? Even in the small things the Lord provides my heart's desires. Waiting has its perks.

P.S. Cherry blossom is my fave scent ;)

________ are my favorite

My room usually needs a deep cleaning between each semester of college.
Put my love of boxes in the equation and we have a perfect match!
Boxes are one of my favorite things. Maybe it's because I can just put random things in them and set them aside. Maybe it's because they usually store my treasures. Or maybe it's because of their four perfect corners welcoming to fit any unused space :) (Freebie! Can you guess what my favorite type of box is?!)

There's the pentagon box

 Then the hexagon box

 There's the heart box!

 And the round box :)

But my fave is the original BOX box.
I bought a colorful dotty, almost-see-through box which is going to be my "Project Box."

And I bought a set of 3 black boxes with a leathery feel to them.

The smallest box is my "Pictures" box where I stash pics that haven't been framed.

The medium box is my "Letters & Cards" box that take me back to events and friends.

The largest box is still empty... haven't decided what I should dedicate it to :)

So yes: I LOVE BOXES.

I think I have more than 100 boxes in my room alone... these also include my shoe boxes, which contain my shoes (Kind of a "Duh!" but still wanted to clarify ;) ) but their perfect Tetris fit puts me at ease that I'm not wasting space.

No it's not OCD, it's space-management skills ;)
