Treat Yo Self 2013

All the ugly fancy stuff at Target went on sale.


Another Lush haul happened. It was from the post holiday BOGO sale. The website even crashed!


I dragged Lena to Chinatown and got a new soap dish.


Got a wikked awesome Christmas package in the mail from WAH and DEE! This is from my olde elementary school where I met DEE in the 4th grade. We hated each other.


Other goodies included:
+ Lumps of coal candy (for Lena, which we ate immediately)
+ "Fear The Beard" Brian Wilson t-shirt
+ Mustache flask
+ BFF poo and tp tote
+ DIANA MINI LOMOGRAPHY CAMERA!

What?! Yes! This was such a thoughtful care package! Lena got a lil' sumthin-sumthin, I have always wanted some kind of tee or sweater from my olde schools, I totally don't own a flask and I needed a new tote. But the camera was a shocker! Thanks, guys!


I got a hot shoe adapter for the Mini Dannii and hooked up the Fritz the Blitz. It looks hilarious, but it works. I have yet to finish a roll. I'm pretty excited to see how it turns out.


In addition to getting the flu, I got another new camera! I have been making eyes at the Fujifilm 210 for a while, but I thought the price tag at Urban Outfitters was too high. So after some web browsing, I saw it on B&H for $30 less.


It came with a clip on macro lens with a mirror for selfies.


I kinda don't know how to use it.

Spoiled Like Milk.

This past weekend was dedicated to me being spoiled for my mere existence. We stayed at the El Cortez Cabana Suites (again). Not only was it Saint Patrick's Day weekend, the walls were painted green and the entire floor smelled like marijuana.


We had dinner at the Grand Luxe Cafe inside the Pallazo where I stuffed my fat face with pot roast gravy fries, double stuffed spring rolls, mini sliders and beeeeeeeeer. An obligatory cupcake was had as well as intoxicated cosmetic shopping where I purchased a Tokidoki compact and the Clinique Dark Spot Corrector. I'm not getting any younger, you know.


The next day involved me getting the most awesome tattoo ever: It's Chance Gomez's traditional take on Kylie Minogue's Aphrodite on my sausage arm.


He's really freakin talented (and a true gentleman), and I can't wait to finish my arm! And then start on my legs...


We went to Paymon's Mediterranean Cafe for dinner with friends. Me and B split an order of garlic pesto hummus, Athens fries and the gyro platter as well as stinky farts. We were quickly reminded why we stopped eating there. Then we went to the Artifice for adult beverages and really bad local music. I was torn between wanting to snowboard and motorcross. Bros before hoes!

The next day was check out :( We had brunch at Mon Ami Gabi in the Paris. I had the richest salmon eggs benedict, a mimosa and ginger peach tea. It was delish. I thought I hated quiche until I stole a few bites off of B's plate. Hehe.


We walked off our breakfast buzz while shopping. B got me a couple tanks from the Men's department of Suburban Troutfisters. Gotta do some bicep curls to get right for the summer. I got a new cardigan and another tank from American Apparel because I'm a yupster.


B treated me to a pedi. I immediately apologized to the pedicurist for the 5+ year absence.


We ended my birthday weekend with expensive champagne and ravioli! Cliquot is NO JOKE. That stuff is $40 a bottle for a reason. Smooth and potent. Can't wait to have Cristal next year! Just kidding! Not really! Best birthday weekend ever? Yes. A million gajillion times yes! I got the best PYT. THE BEST!!!

Treat Yo'Self: Birthday Edition

I got really old yesterday, so I started off the celebration with a Patron Silver margarita that was buy-one-get-one free. I only had one because I had to work this morning.


After work I received a surprise package in the mail from my cousins! How incredibly sweet of them! I almost cried! ALMOST.


Then I got birthday cupcakes in a cute ceramic muffin mold! I don't know if it's actually usable or just for decor. Either way, I don't bake :)


I also got a new duvet cover and mustache pillow cases!!! My Ikea ones have seen better, non-menstrual days :(


And look at this huge new bag that's big enough to carry a litter of kittens! Speaking of, my mom forgot it was my birthday yesterday. She's old, so I wasn't bothered by it. But how can you forget that day you birthed a brat that left you a gnarly c-scar across your abdomen?! I'm unforgettable...in every way.
