A Monday in May

Oh Monday.  I'm sorry to inform you that I do not have a meal plan ready for this week yet.  Slacker. I know.  I do however have a few new favorite finds I've been wanting to share so I suppose now would be a great time to do that!  I'm not one to buy myself new things that aren't necessities very often (read practically ever) so new stuff is kind of a big deal. 

First up, this new workout tank from Target.  Lululemon had basically the same tank last season for about 4x the price.  I reeallllyyyy wanted it but wasn't willing to pay nearly $80 for the thing.  Then sweet Aaron tried to get it for my birthday but it was sold out.  He did however, get me a pair of yoga pants and running shorts instead.  The yoga pants fell apart after the first wash, literally.  I returned them to Lululemon and the kind folks there gave Aaron his money back instead of exchanging them for me.  Come to find out there was a recall on them anyway because they were see through.  Ok, sorry back to the tank I have.  It has a built in sports bra, the material isn't tight fitting and the sides are open so you get lots of airflow.  It's perfect and I love it.
 Then there is this new little teal chevron wallet that has a slot on the inside to hold my phone, also from Target.  Their electronics accessories were 20% off a few weeks ago and when it was only $12 to begin with I treated myself.
The wishbone bracelet.  I don't know why I fell in love with this as soon as I saw it but coming in under $5 at Forever21, and just enough to get my dress shipped free, I figured it was meant for my wrist.
These face care products.  I've only been using the mark. products since Friday, but so far I really like them.  I have ridiculously sensitive skin (shocking I know) and the fact that it hasn't broken out in any weird rash after the first use is a pretty good sign.  I'll let you know if that changes.  Added bonus: the face wash, moisturizer and exfoliator together were about the same price as my old exfoliator alone, score! 
Last but not least, our backyard garden.  Aaron has been working so hard to get this space ready and I'm so happy with how it turned out.  I helped put the fence in and even shoveled dirt into the garden beds from a giant pile (the gash in my back from hitting the pear tree while doing so is proof).  We then planted the vegetables together and cleaned up the space.  I'm so excited to get our baby chickens now; I think they will be very happy in the area we've created for them.


I hope you had a wonderful weekend, hopefully I'll be able to write before Friday if my Capstone project doesn't suck every last word out of my brain.  It could happen.
