Saturday Shopathon

Friday night, my friend Abby came to visit. She drove up from her home in South Texas for a hair appointment and to come visit me and shop. She got here kind of late on Friday, so we had dinner and then stayed up way too late chit chatting.

Saturday was really a shopathon! We shopped until we were ready to drop. Abby got a make-up makeover at Neimans (I'm counting on her 5 1/2 year old to make sure she actually wears her new make-up!). Then we did some shopping at a new shopping center in Allen as well as the outlets in Allen.

I didn't buy much, but I did finally get a new wallet. My old wallet was a very cute Juicy Couture wallet, but it was too small and things were always either falling out or so jammed in that I couldn't get to them (I lost two credit cards because of these troubles!). After the credit card loss in March, I decided to get a new wallet. I went to Coach outlet and only found one that I really liked and it was of course, just crazy expensive. I found out what day the Coach store does mark-downs and have stopped by or called every single week. The cheapest that it has come down to was $149. I almost bought it then, but thought I would wait and hope for cheaper.
Yesterday, when Abby and I went in to Coach, we found it was super marked down and then we used a 20% off coupon that Abby had, so I got it for $55! Abby bought one too.

Isn't it cute?!?!
I'm super excited to finally have it and for such a deal too!

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
