Zipcar, Roundabout, Whole Foods, three amazing M.A.C. lipsticks and sparkly TOMS.
That was my weekend, mainly my Saturday, but the other two days are too depressing and surrounded by homework to talk about in depth. To save you all from sympathy I’ll explain the first few hours I could pencil in to have my sisterly bonding time.
My sister, being older and therefore smarter than me, got a Zipcar because we’re so awkward with public transportation. Coming from the Motor City, we aren’t exactly privy on how it all works. We’re pretty good with cars though.
Getting in our little Civic with crappy brakes, we made our way to Whole Foods. Now, after living off of what’s around campus, going to Whole Foods was like a religious experience. It was glorious.
For you guys out there that don’t know what Whole Foods is or have at least a vague idea, it’s an organic retailer filled with awesome food. (I’m only a little biased here.) I recommend going at least once to see what it’s about. We went to the Mt. Washington one. It’s in this cute area that used to be a mill.
Now, as much as I do love Whole Foods, I love shopping for permanent purchases just a wee bit more. We made our way to the Towson Mall but before we could properly shop we had to drive through a roundabout. That was the worst.
Now, I wasn’t driving, my sister was, and she’s only driven through one twice (now thrice). It isn’t the best thing to have a driver freaking out at you for a mile before the roundabout and asking you to Google how to drive through it. Yes, Google. Just to make clear for anyone out there who doesn’t know how to drive one, stay right to turn right, stay left to turn left, voilà.
To get to the best part, shopping! If I didn’t make it clear earlier, I love shopping, like a lot. I made some great purchases at the typical hit-ups at any mall (H&M,
Forever 21, etc.) but the two stick-outs for me were Nordstrom and the M.A.C. store.
To go sequentially, I’ll start with the M.A.C. store. I got three lipsticks that I’ve been anticipating for ages now but have either been 1) too lazy to order them online 2) too lazy to go to a proper store and buy them. The opportunity presented itself and I took it. The three awesome colors are Myth (nude), Please Me (light pink), Russian Red (a gorgeous red). I love M.A.C. with their vanilla scented lipsticks and catchy names.
Seriously, Russian Red? I automatically feel like a badass when I put it on.
My next purchase is just as awesome as the first. I love TOMS like I love M.A.C, it’s to the point of crazy obsession, but how can you say no to glittery, silver TOMS? Easy, you can’t.
Armed with my M.A.C. lipsticks, glittery TOMS and organic dried mangos, I feel as if I can take over the world, or at least survive my midterms!
