Spring-time Blues (make + gets)

Hello cuties~

ah yes ~ Spring has come and I've been stuck at home with a horrible flu

I don't think i've ever been this sick before.  These fevers ain't no joke, cold sweats? ha! I'm so over this I can't wait to be 100% better!
But I finally feel up to blogging~
although I'm going to have to disinfect this laptop afterwards

In my last post i think I mentioned my "girls day out" with Sarah.
That's what I want to share with you today~
Can you believe that Monday was the day before I fell ill?
I felt perfectly fine! Then Tuesday bam! everything went downhill.

look how happy and healthy!!! lol
Sarah and I took our day off to roam the very busy street that is Magazine St.!
There's a plethora of shops, restaurants, art galleries and likewise up and down Magazine.
As soon as we parked the first thing on our minds was FOOD!

I was so excited to come back to this place: The Rum House !
It's a Caribbean food restaurant.  It was such a beautifully warm day we chose to eat outside.
I had a crab melt sandwich with fried plantains.

Our next move was straight to Lush cosmetics which was literally across the street from where we were sitting!

I'm always giddy when I'm in Lush so I was extremely giddy when I realized it was Sarah's first visit to Lush.

 *silly me I forgot to take pics of the items outside of their wrapping / bags*
I'll take proper pictures later~

I purchased 2 bathbombs (intergalactic and rose bombshell)
and got two free samples of soaps! I LOVE the staff ♥

After we headed over to a place neither of us has been to. Funky Monkey!
It's more like a thrift store, but there are some cool vintage dresses in there! Unfortunately I didn't take pics of the dresses, rather I took pics of silly things.

 true to the store name, these are some funky cool shorts lol

 i wanted this clutch SO bad!

And this shoulder bag!!!

The next place I've been waiting all my life to go to lol
I found out we had an American Apparel last year but didn't know where it was;
once I realized how many times I've passed this building up I wanted to SCREAM.

 odd enough, they were having a 50% off the entire store sale.
Do you think they're closing it down? Or is that a normal sale for them lol

 I allllmost got one of these but I went into the store with the mindset that I wouldn't buy anything so I had to resist. The skirts were $65 before the discount so, the discount didn't seem worth it to me.

I wish I could've done more for my makeup buuut I already felt like I was running late lol

 
Whew~ Well it took me long enough to actually get out of bed and type this
｡ﾟ(TヮT)ﾟ｡

By next week I want to be happy and healthy again!!

Stay safe out there~~

~ Love you!! x Amiman ~

Hi guys, I'm here to talk your ear off again lol

╰( ⁰ ਊ ⁰ )

Did you get my play on words with the title? lol

I just wanted to share my recent gets and first experience at Lush with you~

The building is so cute~~ My friends Ave and Amina brought me to finally get to see the inside of lush! I was entirely too giddy when we walked in.  I could already smell these heavenly scents!  There were woven baskets to use for shopping baskets as you browse the shop.  As soon as I picked up the basket I was met with smiling faces from employees; the people are so nice there!  And I know it's like their job to do this but I still felt welcomed and super happy so of course I was happy to splurge in there.

 The bubble bars and bath bombs up in front of the shop!  So much to look at, right?
This is where most of the seasonal Christmas items were!  I wanted to buy Snow Angel and Father Christmas (it's Santa's head lmao)

 Twilight bath bomb: water will look like a pastel dream lol, smells like lavender! (it's so pretty such a shame I don't like the smell of lavender T_T)

Magical Wand: a bubble wand, makes the water pink and bubbly.  Smells like cotton candy!

* so blurry I know, it was before I wiped off my camera lol But the blurriness adds to the magical, dreamy feel of this bubble-wand, no?
(｡•́‿•̀｡)

It's not a big location but since there's a lot to look at, it took me a while to get to look at everything and find what I wanted.  I went in with a list formulated from online reviews and haul videos on youtube.  I suggest that you do that, it helps to have an idea of what you want so you won't be overwhelmed by the store.

But luckily two of the employees stopped me and asked if I needed any help or any questions.  Once I told them it was my first visit to Lush, they were just as excited as me and helped me with all of my questions!  They're very knowledgeable of their products and all that goes into them.  I was in search of something for my mother, a lotion, something that she can use despite her sensitive skin.  As we talked, they gave me suggestions and gave me a free sample of a lotion for her!
I thoroughly enjoyed my first visit~ In fact so much that I went back again!
☆ﾟ.*･｡ﾟ. * ･ ｡ﾟ☆

Weeee~ I'm still so happy~

 • Butterbear bath bomb - smells like vanilla and has cocoa butter!
• Cup o' Coffee - face and body mask/scrub, smells like the most delicious coffee!
• Sympathy for the Skin sample - smells like vanilla and banana (the sample for my mom)
• Tisty Tosty bath bomb - smells like rose and jasmine!

I haven't used the bathbombs yet but I can't wait!

 • Bohemian soap - smells fresh like lemons~
• Buffy body butter - omg i can't get enough of this one! It has cocoa butter, shea butter, almonds, rice and beans to scrub away at your skin.  It smells so good but it's the softness afterwards that's my favorite part! No need for lotion after your shower it makes your skin insanely soft and moisturized.

• The Magic of Christmas - a bubble wand, makes water orange, the concentrated smell on the wand is much softer in the water. Smells like cinnamon! Since it's a bubble wand you can use it multiple times, so I can't wait to use it again~

 I bought a new brush set! But haven't taken a picture so I got this one from the ebay listing I purchased them from. Brand is Jessup

Today Sarah and I were off from work and decided to hang out!

It was so much fun catching up!  I hate that work keeps us from spending time together ;;

☆ﾟ.*･｡ﾟ. * ･ ｡ﾟ☆
Christmas is just around the corner! I'm so excited now ah I can't wait!

Although I'll be working Christmas night, I hope it's not too hectic and I can enjoy it.
I also want everyone else to enjoy their holidays, no matter what you celebrate! Have fun this week lovelies.
~ Love you!! x Amiman ~
