I also can't remember the last time I went shopping for myself! I have grown (in more ways then one if you know what I mean) to actually not enjoy that, too much. a) it is so expensive! b) nothing fits the way I would like it too anymore and it is so easy to get discouraged before really given it a go. c) It is so much easier to shop for the kids so I'm easily distracted, don't have to try them on! d) I'd much rather buy scrapbooking supplies! LOL ;)
But this weekend I went shopping with my best friend and we did NOT shop for the kids, we did NOT shop for our husbands, we did NOT shop for the house WE SHOPPED FOR US. So long over due. We were both of the frame of mind that if we found things weren't working out for us that we would call it a day and catch a movie. So we had a back up plan or an out if you will. But that didn't happen. We had a wonderful day! Not only was it great catching up but we made successful clothing purchases! BOTH OF US!! WOOHOO! Not with out a few bumps in the road, but overall it was a refreshing day. I almost think that it works that way on purpose. You know the theory if you go shopping and you have money to spend that you can't find anything and when you don't have any you find EVERYTHING! Well I think this weekend was the same. Since neither of us expected good things from the day our expectations weren't too high and we were SUCCESSFUL. Again feels good.
So to top of the taking care of me, I have also decided to go for my second, Yes I said second pedicure for the season. I went back in April and I'm going again. Just because. I usually only go a couple times a year. And I will also be going to get my hair done in couple of weeks. Its all good! Life is good.
Now on a scrappy note. Not much to share in the way of new creations, been to busy taking care of me! LOL So I will brag about my latest purchases. First off, I'm awaiting my newest cricut cartridge "Life's a Beach" it is very fun! Don't you think?
Next is this fabulous travel kit by Little Yellow Bicycle. I just absolutley love the colour combination and can't wait to get my hands on it. I'm going to make a mini album for our summer vacation either for this year or last year, haven't decided which yet.
Well that's it for todays post! I hope all my American friends had a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend and that everyone is inspired by my this post to do something for themselves, ladies don't forget to take care of yourself!

Wow, I don't have a Cricut, but those look awesome!
I went shopping today, again, for me :) I had Alex with me and I did buy him some stuff, but it was mostly for me. I didn't have enough time to go to a shoe store, but I will. I can't even remember when I bought new shoes.
Glad you had fun with your friend.
