...Some Light Shopping

Today I went down to a local shopping center with Jennifer. She was going to get her hair cut and I was planning to window shop for the hour.

One store I wanted to hit up was Swoozie's, because...
FYI: EVERYTHING except for greeting cards is 10% off. Greeting cards are 30% off, so I didn't buy a thing and plan to wait until we hit the REAL SALE level.

I went to Bath and Body Works because my friend Jenn told me that had some great summer home fragrance scents. Boy was she right. I could have spent $100 there! They have several great scents and y'all know I'm so not a scent person! They have wallflowers that are colored now and cute shapes. They also had adorable scentportables for the car that look like ladybugs...so cute! I managed to keep my purchases to $10, but I bought 6 things! Bargain, right?

Here's what I got. I got a room spray (not candle) in this scent:
It is divine! I mean, it smells like the beach. It even has a hint of coconut smell to it.
I also got 5(!!!) of these....

They are the small travel size lotions that are normally $3.50, but they are previewing them for $1 each. I did a little math and figured out that this is cheaper than they sell the large sizes for, thus I bought 5. I also figured it would be good for travel coming up and my purse, etc.

It is Lemon Vanilla. Now y'all, I'm normally SO OUT on vanilla anything except cupcakes and ice cream, but this SMELLS SO GOOD! They also are previewing Vanilla Berry and Vanilla Coconut, but this is my fav. They are also reformulating their lotions and this is the new formula. I think it is an improvement. They are going to get these in in larger sizes later this month and in the other products like bath gel, etc.

Really that was all I bought on my excursion. I did wonder through Francesca's and saw this book that spoke to me, so I took a photo to share with you...

AMEN!

I can't believe Swoozie's is going out of business! I like the beach scented candle, also. The island margarita is good, too. I love all the citrus summery scents. I bought a new candle last time I was there called summer orchard that I love. I also bought one of the Tahiti (sp.?) bath washes that I really like.

I love the Carribean Salsa scented candle...it is so yummy smelling. I love fruity scents, but my hubby loves anything vanilla. Those new lotions sound like the perfect blend of what each of us like.

Swiss Oatmeal {Copy Cat Recipe}

I'm obsessed with Swiss Oatmeal.  I particularly love   Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal.  If you are not familiar with Swiss Oatmeal, it is a cold oatmeal cereal with fruit and nuts. I've had a similar recipe for years, but it was only similar.  It wasn't close enough for my liking.  So I finally set out into the land of Pinterest to find a recipe that was a good Copy Cat.  I found a few, combined them and came up with what I think is a very close Copy Cat Recipe of Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal. Here's what I do (note, this recipe is really just pictures, because I don't really have measurements for these things.  The photos aren't great, but it's easier if I show you what I do)... Here's the Phase 1 ingredients...   Milk Honey Yogurt (I use a vanilla greek yogurt) Oats (old fashioned, not quick...you probably could do steel cut too)    I've simplified this to where you only need a bowl and a spoon for Phase 1 becau

Europe 2023 {Day 9 ~ Munich & Bavarian Alps}

 On Tuesday, December 20th I grabbed breakfast at the hotel and then walked about 15 minutes to where I met my tour for the day.  On my first visit to Munich, I only had time for one "day trip" outside of the city and I chose to go to Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial, but I always knew I wanted to venture down to the Bavarian Alps and see some castles on my next visit.  I had booked the premium tour and it was so fancy.  There was a snack bar and they even served beer and wine on the way home after the last stop of the day.  First stop was at Linderhof Castle. This was a "small" castle of King Ludwig's that was a partial mini-replica of Versailles.  It was a snowy walk to the castle... Interior photos were not allowed, but you can see some pics of the interior HERE Like Versailles, there are fountains and sculptures surrounding Linderhof, but they cover the statues with wood huts to protect them from the winter elements. After visiting Linderhof, we made a (to

It's all about the dress...

I mean I guess it's really all about getting married, but come on, you always anticipate the dress right?  Well holy moly folks!  Today a big secret was released to the press.  No, we still don't know which dress or tiara Kate will be wearing, but we heard for the first time that Princess Diana had a back-up dress!  Here are some of the pictures and sketches... Real dress on Left~ Back-up on the Right Here are the sketches of the back-up dress And you know what?  I like the back-up dress better than the one she wore!  I know, I know.  I'm going to get blasted for saying that, but I'll just confess it right now... My name is Kara and I've never thought Princess Diana's dress was all that and a bag of chips.  Nope.  Not my favorite Royal Wedding Dress by any stretch of the imagination.  What is my favorite?  Probably the one that Sarah Ferguson wore when she married Andrew... It had beautiful beading and stitching throughout.  Also on the train it had an &quo
