Memphis Shopping Trip!

     Craft (a sorority sister of mine) and I ventured up to the suburbs Memphis to go shopping!! TJ max was an unexpected stop but it ended up in my favor. I walked away with a pair of Lucky Brand Jeans for nearly half price! Craft ended up leaving with a Lilly Pulitzer dress for more than half off. 

LOVE the dark wash!


N
ext we landed at the Saddle Creek Mall! Madwell- part of the J Crew company, had a store which we just could not resist! Everything was just so cute! I walked out with a light sweater which will be perfect for when the A/C really gets cranked up this summer. Craft ended up with some shorts and an ULTRA soft basic white top. I promise more damage would be done if I had a paying job!! 
The weight is just so perfect! 


As always our last stop was Target! As always we spent the most time there. When you don't have a local Target it really becomes a sacred place. You tend to pick up things you really don't need but like because it's from Target! I walked out with plenty of things from Isla and me. My favorite was a high to low black cotton dress! I am super excited to jazz it up many different ways! Also I found this great tropic green and navy dress! It would be great for chapter or a night with the wonderful boyfriend! 


All In all I really did some damage!

 Iced Coffee is my new obsession. 
I always knew it was good but am now completely hooked
Yesterday I made a pitcher, and it's almost gone. 
It is just too hot for a regular cup in the morning. 
The recipe I found off pintrest and it was perfect! 
Super simple and besides chilling took no time at all. 


1) Coffee grounds to water ratio. I made about 10 cups which used 1/4 a cup of grounds. Everybody has a different liking so adjust as needed. I poured the grounds in a different pitcher than the one I was planning on keeping it in. 
2) Once the water and grounds are added let it sit in the fridge for at least 6 hours. The longer it sits the more flavor. 
3) After the time as passed, and you sink is empty but the empty pitcher in the sink. I used a two paper towels and a rubber band to act as my coffee filter. I put the two paper towels over the pitcher and secured it with the rubber band.(Other directions had two people, one holding the filter and one pouring.) 

4) Slowly I begin to pour the coffee ground water mixture on to the paper towel covered pitcher. Giving the water time to filter and making sure the paper towel does not tear. I did have to change the paper towels out once but I think I was being overly cautious. 

5) Once that was complete I added my cream and sugar to my liking. This did take some sampling. 
6) I poured myself a glass and the rest in the fridge!

The Little Pleasures!


CVS has been out of chocolate milk for all of May. Clearly the chocolate milk Gods were on my side yesterday when I grabbed the last one! I have yet to crack it open but I am sure it will taste so much better then when I make it!!! 

Amazon Trade In

     Earlier, I mentioned how my wonderful boyfriend moved. Well he downsized his house from roughly 1,000 square feet to a little less than 600. He had two bookcases full of DVDs and books which there was simply not room for in the new place. 
      After an hour of sorting them, 200 of them were traded to Amazon! It was so simple and postage was free!! They didn't pay a while lot but just enough to make it worth wild. Frequently, he buys textbooks and rents movies off Amazon so the fact they deposited in his account as a gift card was a plus! 
      Books they did not accept we sold those to Chegg- mostly textbooks or books for class. 
Bottom line they are shipped and gone!!!!
