Day Off Indulgences

 I believe I deserve nice things and so do you! You work hard, spend 40 hrs a week on your feet and another 7 driving dealing with whatever life throws at you...so indulge once in a while! 

You're worth it! 

DAY OFF #1

I think that my love language is a mix of 3 different styles: words of affirmation, gifts & of course time. Since I'm a Taurus I love to indulge, I think that is why I struggle with some things in my life including my fluctuating weight as well as spending too much money on coffee! With that said, I have lost quite a bit of weight, and I don't get coffee every day. The picture above is a collection of nice things I gave to myself as a gift...I had a crazy week at work so it was well deserved! 

This rose water chocolate from Mothers Market was crispy, tart and great for a sweet tooth! 

I picked up this cute little Gardenia scented mason jar candle from Celias Reloved! Find her on INstagram @Celiasreloved

I headed over to Trader Joes for some Vino...yum! 

Oh and of course fresh flowers! 

And once again, another Gardenia product! This body wash from Mothers Market is great for sensitive skin! 

DAY OFF #2

I have family in town so it was chore day so before I could do anything fun I had to finish my cleaning and then it was off to have fun! 

My forst pit stop was The Aussie Bean in Old Town Orange! How could I not take a pic of this cute latte! 

Stopping in one of the many vintage stores! 

So much vintage, so little time! 

I found so many amazing dresses! 

This bag was soo cool! Beaded perfection! 

Vintage platforms with embroidery, sigh! 

Not every day off is filled up with this much fun stuff, this just happened to be an extra amazing week! Whats your favorite thing to do on a day off? Any great places in Orange County? Thrift stores? Coffee shops? DO TELL!
