Can't believe my last post was almost 3 months ago! The first 2 months of 2024 have been a roller coaster ride to say the least. I wanted to come on here to share my annual "What I got for Christmas" and some life updates. One big ticket item I got for Christmas was the Dyson Airwrap. I purchased the Shark FlexStyle last year. I liked it but I wasn't 100% in love with it.

Hope you're enjoying your weekend. Just a quick post today to share an amazing sale with you - My absolute favorite perfume is currently on sale. This is a very rare promotion. To say I'm obsessed is an understatement when it comes to Baccarat Rouge 540. I purchased the regular version at first. I love it so much that I purchased the Extrait version soon after.

Sharing a few pics from our long weekend in the sunshine state. Madelyn didn't have school last Thursday and Friday so we headed to our home away from home for a few days. This time we invited another family to stay with us so the kids can play together. From cold/dreary Ohio to warm/sunny FL is just a 2-hour flight away. Since we are on the Gulf, the water temperature is still nice and warm.

As mentioned in my previous post, I was able to purchase an Hermès Evelyne directly from the boutique. I still couldn't believe it. I always asked for this bag whenever I had a chance to visit a boutique. I stopped by 3 Hermès boutiques in Japan and got turned down every time. This time, the expectation was very low.

Last weekend, family and close friends celebrated Courtney 18th birthday and her graduation. It was an emotional day for me. I started this blog when Courtney was 5 years old.

This is all I wear at the moment. These jeans are the absolute best. I am wearing a size 24/00 short and they fit great. No waist gap and the length is perfect (I am 5'2").
