Wishing you a joyous Friday & weekend. My sister is in town during her summer break from school, so we all visited for a family dinner. My mom made kuku sabzi & kuku sibzamini. We sat around the table & told each other two things they were grateful for. My two things were: my Nana & my blog. What are you thankful for? Here's what I'm loving right now!
Bath Bombs
We did a bunch of window shopping whilst in Palm Springs. I was drawn to these beautiful bath bombs — I mean look at their colors! I didn't end up buying anything from this store, but I did purchase a vintage Givenchy velvet purse from a consignment store!Fish Eye Lens
I'm currently loving this fish eye lens. You just clip it onto your phone & you're all set. There's something about the fish eye lens that gives a funky feel to photos. I love to use it when I'm on trips or exploring. You can find a similar one here.
Mount San Jacinto State Park
We took at a tram up the mountain & witnessed the glory of nature from above. We saw the trees & mountains surrounding us. It was a haven from the otherwise exhausting heat of Palm Springs. I would absolutely recommend a visit to Mount San Jacinto State Park.
Bee Sting Recovery
As I mentioned last week, I was stung by bee & have finally recovered 99%. This photo was taken approximately a week after the initial sting. I haven't been stung in adult life (I was stung in kindergarten), so I'm not sure what's normal or not. Glad it's healed!
How's your week? :]

That's so cute that you do that with your family! I've been trying to convince myself to buy bath bombs, but I can't! I don't take enough baths. Mount San Jacinto looks great!!

I got stung by a bee a few years ago and part of my leg was swollen for like a week... And I really need to try out a bath bomb for myself!

Those bath bombs look great. Pretty much how a bee sting can look. If it gets worse go to a doctor,took me a month to get over mine.(allergic)
ReplyDeleteI recently went into a Lush and bought 10 bath bombs, I have no control. That Homer Simpson donut looks so delicious, my God!

Love your post! something different and unique! I really want to try the Lush bath bomb. I'm pretty sure it'll be a great experience!

Bath bombs are my guilty pleasure! I really love them but sadly, I have no bathtub at my flat or at my parents´ house, so I never get to use them. However, sometimes I do buy myself a cheeky one and use it for a foot bath. These ones look gorgeous & about the right size for a foot bath (Lush bath bombs are way too big for that).

I so feel like that Homer donut right now, you're right that it looks exactly like it. Actually, have you heard of those massive Lard Lad simpsons donuts at Universal?! Now those are huge.

Ah the fisheye lens is cool! I also have one that clips on to my phone but I haven't had a proper play around with it yet - I've got to get on that! Because I totally agree, it gives the photo a funky feel!

You can't go wrong. :]
ReplyDeleteWe don't do it very often. I just thought it'd be a good idea since the 4 of us were together at last. :]
ReplyDeleteThanks! :]
ReplyDeleteI've never bought a Lush bath bomb. Can you believe it? Do you recommend one in particular? :]
ReplyDeleteThanks Briana. :]
ReplyDeleteOk, that's good to know. Google can only provide so much information before I self-diagnose myself with something else. HA! :]
ReplyDeleteGood to know. It's nearly gone. :]
ReplyDeleteWhoa! I've never tried a Lush bath bomb. Do you recommend one in particular? :]
ReplyDeleteThanks for reaching Vanessa. :]
ReplyDeleteThese were pretty big, about the same size as most Lush ones I've seen - about $2 cheaper though. Do you recommend a certain Lush bath bomb? :]
ReplyDeleteOmg the donut was amazing. :]
ReplyDeleteIt really does. The lens definitely showcases photos in a new way. :]
ReplyDeleteThe donut was toooo delicious. :]
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading! :]
ReplyDeleteI've never been to Universal. Must go & try one of the donuts! :]
ReplyDeleteI've never reacted to a bee sting like that! Wow! Seems like it must have been painful. Glad you are better :)
