My weekend and a Hello Kitty for Sephora review

Our weekend was pretty relaxed. Friday we watched hours on end of wedding shows and talked about how nice and ECONOMICAL my wedding dress was. How low key our wedding was and how insane these people were. Hee I don't know why all of a sudden I love wedding shows. 8 years after my own NOW I am interested in them.

Saturday started out with hot donuts! Dave made them from the Gluten Free Bisquick mix.  When you are Celiac you can't just go to Dunkin and get a donut. You have to make them yourself and honestly while there are many good gf for being gf recipes but they aren't that good. They were amazing!!! You almost couldn't tell they weren't real donuts.



That afternoon we went ice skating in our neighborhood.



After that we went to PF Changs.

Us again!



They kindly sent us a gift card after reading a tweet of mine about a big mess up with an order a few weeks ago (we got delivery and the order showed up and they hadn't put lid on and it was all over the inside of the bag. We called they sent a second order AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. We were not happy campers Four hours and two ruined deliveries. Different drivers too. It was a problem at the restaurant with the packaging) . I will say that was insanely nice of them and they didn't have to do it and it was much appreciated. I am glad we gave them another chance because gluten free Chinese is impossible to come by.

After lunch we stopped by Sephora which is right by the restaurant and they had the hello kitty line! I got a polish in "Minty" (I am going to review the blush in Cherry Blossom later)







The color is as the name implies, mint green. It is an EXACT dupe of Mint Candy Apple by Essie. EXACT. I have both. The first coat goes on very streaky. So streaky that you might even freak out a little that it is going to be terrible. But the second coat changes it all. It makes it completely opaque and quite pretty. I love the color and don't mind its the same as the Essie one because dude THE BOTTLE. I actually bought it based on what would look prettiest on my bureau. Well technically I let Dave pick it out. I like to let him feel it made important decisions. It retails for $10. Unless you are a die hard Hello Kitty fan, if you are just looking for this color I'd buy the Essie. If you are a fan hurry up and grab one. (I actually still remember my first Hello Kitty item. It was 1985 and they were pink cord overalls and I would wear them the SECOND they came out of the wash every time.)

Waffle was her usual weirdo self.



But apparently she is rubbing off on Daisyboo!! Daisy who so quite and well behaved was being like Waffle!! I have no idea what she was doing up there or where she thought she was going.




Sunday Dave made pancakes! I love having him home again! This was when the penguins met the polar bears while Daisyboo looked on.



My friend Masami taught me that polar bears and penguins aren't ever together. They aren't in the same hemisphere. Did you know that? I had no idea! Of course once I found a little wallet depicting them together so I bought it for her instantly! SO weird they always depict them as friends!

I also updated my polish spreadsheet and updated my swatches too.



They are all numbered and have a corresponding number item on a spreadsheet. Sortable by brand and name!

While I did this Dave made me a purse organizer. He had made a handful over the years and I have a bad habit of giving them away. I am that kind of friend. You say you like it I give it to you. My gram and mom know this and exploit it (in a joking way) and tell me they like EVERYTHING. Gram tried to get this purse away! I had to tell her it wasn't going to happen. :P She liked the kitty addition.

This is the purse I needed organized.



I have a great fat quarter collection of fabrics from my mother in law and they were perfect for this kind of project. The outside of it is a Japanese print and the inside it a raw silk. (I never knew was to do with the silks but they are SO PRETTY!)



He made it to fit my current contents I carry.



It works a charm!!



He cut up a free tote bag to give it the stability. (That was my idea!) I am trying to talk him into making some with our fabric stash and put them in our Etsy shop. We have all these small pieces of gorgeous fabric SO PERFECT for just this.

WOOO you deserve a cookie if you got here! Tell me how as your weekend??
