Here we are again Monday, let's do this!
On Friday I got ready to go to a friend's makeup party, but made sure to get a surprise gift together for my friend who re-designed my blog recently. She did such an amazing job, and I still can't get over how much I love the new look and responsive design. If you're looking for a blog overhaul for either Blogger or WordPress, she's a total pro and you can check out her work here.
*Of course I put in an order for the infamous Younique mascara*
Saturday, I met up with friends at the first ever Florida Cheese Festival in a quaint historical downtown area.
We sampled lots of cheese and dealt with some long lines, but it was a lot fun trying out a new spot for a festival. I even bumped into Pamela which was too funny since we share an obsession for all things cheese!
Afterwards we grabbed some lunch at a cute spot called The Brickhouse Grill where I had an amazing sandwich comprised of turkey, apple slices, bacon, and gouda because more cheese.
Then it was time for some retail therapy to hit up the sales at Express and Bath and Body Works. Express had a sale for 30% off all dresses, so I picked up a new dress and two new tops while also using my coupon that comes in the mail of course. Bath and Body Works 3 wick candles were all 2 for $24, so I scooped up two candles while also using my 20% off coupon and a coupon for a free body wash. Double win!
On Sunday, I met a friend for a yummy brunch before spending the rest of the day relaxing and getting caught up for the impending work week. But not without stopping in on the cutest macaron shop, it took everything in me not to walk out of there with a huge box of goodies!

ReplyDeleteI'm not a younique mascara fan. I think it's a total mess. One of my best friends sells it. I am testing their sunless tanner this week!

Those fries are giving me life right now, even from afar, lol. They look SO good! Sweet of you to thank your friend, I would agree she did a great job!!!!

ReplyDeleteSuch a fun weekend! You cannot beat cheese, and that sandwich looks so good! Glad to know Bath and Body Works is having a sale... I always stock up! And I definitely need that shirt for brunch! Happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteA CHEESE festival? That automatically makes it the best weekend ever in my book! :)
ReplyDeleteThat cheese festival sounds amazing! I think cheese is my weakness...at least it's no longer chocolate, right? lol I also did some shopping for 3-wick candles on Saturday but online instead of in-store. Your Sunday brunch sounds like the perfect way to cap off the weekend. Let's hope this week is short and sweet!
ReplyDeleteI need some Express coupons in my life!! Your house must smell amazing because you are always getting the yummiest candles!
ReplyDeleteoooh a makeup party? fun! yay for express and b&bw sales and bargains, that is awesome. the cheese festival sounds so fun, i would totally go to that. and that brunch, holy moly. i just ate lunch, why am i hungry?! and those macarons... i don't even like macarons but they look so pretty!
