don't look at this if you're hungry.

Last night Kortney, Rachel and I went to Gourmandise bakery for some deliciousness...

Their food and treats are so good, anytime of the day.

We weren't fond of the paintings on the wall for 2 grand

but maybe someday they will go to a good home.

*our waitress Kelly was so adorable, she's worked there for a year+ 

and is majoring in art history with a minor in french. like I said. adorable.

*tip her well.

I had me some rice pudding

Kortney got German Choc

and Rach, strawberry cheese cake. mmmmmm.

on to

TODAY

I went on a tour of the new Whole Foods they put in at Trolley Square.

This was pre-opening of the store, my dear friend Neela invited me along...

The tour was awesome.

We got to sample everything you could think of

from chips and salsa....

*chips for fingers

Honnnnnneeeyyy, every flavor you could ever DREAM of.

to breads and cheeses...

even sushi and pizza! It was magical.

(this gentleman was really excited to show us the oven and it's workings.)

*seeeeeeds

*everything is being unloadedddd. 

Next Neela and I went to this awesome crepe shop for our actual meal.

*we split a veggie delight crepe

*with a nutella crepe for dessert!

maybe we even went out on a limb and shopped a bit.

do you think the world can handle this yet?

*we were in an older mom's shop looking for a specific top and I found this specialty. 

Neela didn't think the timing was right.

look at these color POPS from all the different past covers of Harper's Bazaar...

I found this magazine at Barnes and Noble.

delicious

When I'm sick

 I like to snuggle up in blankets, 

browse the internet for people like you who inspire me,

read books,

and call my mom on advice on what to do

she can make me feel so much better! (it's a mental thing.)

but unfortunately my parents are cross-country skiing

in the Flagstaff Arizona mountains and wont be home til... 

well. they don't really tell me these things anymore...

Yesterday I decided to get some FRESH air by going to the post office 

and on the way I stopped for a bit of thrifting at the D.I.

Just a browse and a cough later

temptation struck again 

when my friend Emily Munk called to tell me about the cotton shop having a great deal on sewing machines. 

(I've been talking about purchasing one for months!) 

SO... in the unhealthy state I was in, I meandered into this fine store.

(p.s. valentines day is OVER cotton shop)

... I made the scariest decision of my young life! 

I brought home a new baby...

 I wrapped it up 

and put it in the trunk 

of my gas guzzling car

It came with accessories.

(thank goodness! I would not know how to take care of it)

 I named it Trudie

and now it has a loving home

Later that night I was in Provo and ventured out with my friends.

We ate Cafe Rio,

visited Emily,

and saw the movie Tron in 3D

which was great

a bit clean-cut, disney-ish film, extravaganza, BUT overall awesome

ESPeCiaLLY the music.

 LAST but not least

Living in old houses typically for their character is very cool

but renting a pad that has newer bathroom has it's pluses.

Baths are the BESSSST.

I had an essential oil bath ball that I dropped in 

(notice the blue water (*no I'm not in hawaii like Alex Lovin, I wish))

and my tobacco & bergamot candle! mmm perfection.

Now I just need some animal loving. I really want a bunny.

Preferably a very large one with huge ears and giant black and white spots.

(I had a dream about it once and I named it Pepper. Some dreams should come true.)

A new addition to the family in the future?
