Today has been a pretty great day! It started out with standing in line for the grand opening of one of my favorite stores, Ulta. First one in my town! I am SOOO excited about it. For those of you who don't know of the store it is a make-up beauty products store that has designer brands as well as drug store brands so you get the BEST of both worlds. While in line I got to sign up for a free facial. Entering into the store I got to draw a gift card ranging from $5 to $100. While I sadly did not get $100 I did get $25. I was stoked. I shopped for about a half hour after getting a bag of free goodies: lotions, lip gloss, nail polish, and fragrances. I went to get my facial. It was AMAZING! It felt really good starting with a pomegranate mask and ending with a delightful moisturizer. The whole skin care line that was used for my facial was good for my red, breakout prone skin. I ended up buying the packet of products because I liked it and it was the same price as the cleanser I have been using by itself. After my facial I was escorted to the makeup section where I had my makeup done, also for FREE, by Smashbox. I was very happy. After my makeup was complete I finished my shopping and stood in line where I was given a few more fragrance samples. I bought 3 Essie nail polishes, they were buy 2 get 1. I also bought 2 eye shades, concealor and powder foundation from the Ulta line that was all buy 2 get 2. I left Ulta a very happy girl with two bags, one full of products I purchased and one full of products I received for free. Plus, I get to go back in a month and spend my $25.00 gift card! I already know what I am purchasing too.

After my shopping extravaganza I indulged in some Starbucks and proceeded to get a couple of errands done. After my errands were complete I spent the afternoon with Lily and on the phone having a much needed and very healing conversation. What a day!
