I know my birthday is still a few weeks away but today was all about my birthday :)
Like I said before, I couldn't come up with a gift idea so my mom decided to do some pampering!
First stop, she took me to get my hair cut (just a trim) and highlighted.
The last time I had my hair done was in October! Insane. I have been wanting to get some color (to hide all of these grays) forever so it was truly a blessing to have all of this done today :)
Our next stop was Target. I had to do some Liberty of London viewing, and ended up doing some shopping too!!
My lovely friend, Amy, gave me some style tips while in Springfield. She told me to just start dressing the way I want, and not how I feel like I have to.
Soooo, after some serious prodding by my mom, I tried on some flirty, fun, spring dresses. And I flipping LOVED them!!! I was so happy with the way I looked, I almost got teary! I have wanted to wear dresses but just didn't for soooooo long! Here are some pics (from the Target website) of the dresses that I scored today :)
and as another little birthday treat...my mom bought Adam and I this amaaaaaazing Liberty of London comforter set!!
It is even more stunning in person. love love love it!!
Our final stop was our nail place where I was treated to a manicure and pedicure (again, haven't been able to do this in FOREVER).
Check it out! I am in loooooove with this color "Refresh Mint" by China Glaze.
my nails and toes are all this lovely color :)
It goes so great with my new comforter:)
So, in conclusion...thank you so much mom for making the beginning of my 30th birthday so incredible amazing and for treating me to day of pampering which I never could have done without you :) Seriously, best.day!! I love you so much.
And on another note...I wanted to thank everyone for the amazing response to my journal pages. I have been getting requests like crazy crazy!! I am so incredibly humbled :) Thank you thank you!
For those of you who wanted to know...I am charging $20 for an 8x10, that is shipping included too. I can do custom anything or a reproduction of any other journal page of mine that you have seen. Again, if you are interested my email is janel(dot)maclean(at)gmail(dot)com.
I love love love you all.

Those dresses are sooo pretty! I'm sure you look stunning in them! I wore that one dress I have to church and I got tons of compliments. Makes me want to wear more dresses. Maybe spring time is a great time to start! And your comforter is gorgeous! I need a new one bad! Love you! <3
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice to have time with mom's love every minute I spend with mine! Those dresses are beautiful, I think that I need to take that advice myself, I dress like I should be heading for bed or the gym all of the time! Your nails looks so pretty, I got some new polish yesterday that is similar to that color, it makes me feel Springy! You should be getting your goodies tomorrow, hopefully! Have a wonderful day!
