1// Am I the only person who goes into Sephora to pick up their free birthday item and doesn’t buy anything? I still haven’t ever made a purchase in that store (it’s just too pricey for my blood!) but you bet I marched right in there for my free Nars lip crayons! I felt very wealthy and spendy strolling through the mall with that shiny black bag in my hand! It’s the little things in life, right? 🙂
2// Monday is Peggy Macmillan’s 3rd birthday (In case you aren’t aware, my cats are named after the women of the Andy Griffith show). Peggy is such a sweet kitty and loves to snuggle. Other than eating any and all live plants I attempt to bring in the house , she’s basically a perfect pet. Alli picked her out at the shelter when I got Thelma Lou, but had to leave Peggy with me when she got married. I didn’t mind. 🙂
3// Wednesday night I was happily scrolling twitter when all the sudden my feed was flooded with the panicked tweets of The Office fans. What?? Netflix removed The Office?! Panic! Horror! After a few frantic Google searches, I learned that this was only happening to Netflix UK subscribers – and it was in my feed because it was already the next day across the pond. All is well here in the US of A. Whew. I breathed a sigh of relief. But to those of you who have lost The Office, I offer my deepest sympathies.
4// Tomorrow (10/3) marks five years since Paul got down on BOTH knees and asked me to marry him! I will be sharing a little more about our engagement during Vlogtober. 🙂 Here’s a picture of us about a month before we got engaged, at his brother’s wedding. (What is up with my overkill jewelry!?)
5// Speaking of VLOGTOBER…here’s the first video!
Have a lovely weekend!

Hahaha nope! I did the exact same thing in August for my Sephora freebie. I have bought a couple of things there (the philosophy Purity face wash is a dream) but I agree…so pricey, especially for items you’ve never tried before. Can’t wait to see your vlogs this month! Happy Friday 🙂

As it turns out, the Nars lipstick I got as my freebie made my lips swollen! So I think I’ll stick to my Revlon stand-by lipstick. 🙂 Hope you had a great weekend!

Oh no! If you liked the colors, Revlon Kissable Balm Stain in Honey is a great dupe for the Rikugien and Rimmel Kate Moss lipstick in 107 (red packaging) is a near perfect dupe for Cruella!

You have amazing will power resisting the urge of Sephora. 🙂 But what was your free gift? Happy birthday to Peggy! And I just love all your hashtags on IG for that Office scare. I even panicked reading the story that they were taking down the Office UK version, which I love too. But phew! I’m safe to laugh. Have a fantastic weekend celebrating your engagement anniversary!!

I got the same Nars lip crayons you did, I believe. I haven’t watched the original UK Office – British humor usually escapes me. Maybe I’ll try it sometime. 🙂

Ah! Yay. Those lip crayons are good! I like the more neutral color with just a little of the red over top. Not as intense. And the UK one took me a few episodes to warm up. It’s also a lot more awkward than the US. And the boss is more dis likable 😉

You totally described my experience picking up my Sephora bday gift this year! I can very easily get into trouble at Sephora, but this year I just marched right it and got my NARS lip crayons (and only that!)! Glad to hear someone else did the same thing! 🙂 And your cat is so cute, omg. Happy birthday to her!

Happy Birthday Peggy! I have two plant eating cats at my house. It always confuses me because it can’t taste good. Hope you have a great weekend and glad you got your freebie from Sephora. I buy my makeup on-line there and love the freebie options they offer with a purchase. You get free shipping and then I can usually find a few free sample codes for all kinds of fun things to try.

Free shipping and samples definitely make the deal sweeter! I don’t know why she eats the plants either – silly kitty! 🙂
