Adventures in Shopping

I bought my first items of maternity clothing yesterday at Mimi Maternity. I bought dress pants and maternity spanx. I am wearing both today and I LOVE THEM! I have been wearing the same jeans, dress or skirt for all of my outfits the past few weeks and it’s nice to have something new. The pants are really cute, despite the ELASTIC WAISTBAND (lol) and the spanx make my backpain go away. I might have to buy more of this stuff.

 I also bought some new make-up at Estee Lauder and it has really made my week. The salesgirl at Nordstrom was very helpful and helped me pick out things that really work for me, instead of trying to sell me a bunch of crap I will never use (which happens a lot). For example, when I told her I don’t wear eye make-up, she actually didn’t put any on me or try to talk me into buying some. She was like, “oh yeah, you probably don’t need to since your eyelashes are so dark anyway.” THANK YOU! While I was there, I got a sample of the next fragrance I want to buy: Bronze Goddess by Estee Lauder. (Read about it here: http://thebeautyalchemist.blogspot.com/2008/02/bronze-goddess-fragrance-by-estee.html.) It’s perfect for summer and makes me excited for nice weather and going to the river in just a few months!
