I was supposed to leave today for a 3-day cruise to the Bahamas but Hurricane Matthew has threatened the east coast of Florida so the cruise was officially cancelled yesterday. I'm not hugely disappointed because I've been on this cruise ship twice before and really didn't want to chance getting on a boat knowing a huge storm is lurking nearby. Safety first and I'll gladly take a quiet weekend at home. I'm just praying Matthew doesn't cause too much devastation which I know it's already caused in Haiti, Cuba and the Bahamas.
We are supposed to be hit the hardest at 8 am today so I'm not sure if
I'll have electricity or internet. The uncertainties of a natural
disaster are the worst feeling to experience because you just don't know what exactly to prepare for. The gas stations have been out of gas since Wednesday and the shelves were empty when I went to Target this week but I managed to get some essentials.
Since I already had a few things lined up to share today, I'll stick with the program...
I finally jumped on the Audiobooks train after procrastinating for way
too long and decided to get started with Amy Schumer's new book The Girl
With The Lower Back Tattoo. I've been listening to it every day this week on my commute to
and from work and I've been really enjoying it. It's raw and uncensored and I like her take on life.
On Wednesday, I shared some cute swimwear options that offer a little more coverage. The cruise this weekend was supposed to be a company event so I wanted some less skimpy swimsuits to take on the trip and I found some really fun suits at Target and Express.
I just received my semi-annual Ulta haul (I just made that up but it seems to be every 6 months). Lots of products were repurchases of my favorite products but I did add in some new products such as the Benefit Eye Brightening set and Lip Crayon.
POREfessional Pore Minimizing & Eye Brightening Set // Gimme Brow Fiber Gel
Tarte Amazonian Full Coverage Foundation // ULTA Matte Lip Crayon - Carnival
This cute Benefit makeup bag also came as a free gift with my Benefit Cosmetics purchase.
We finally purchased a dining room table for the new house. Something so simple to be excited about but it means we're getting closer to fully furnishing our house.
Since we've been working on getting settled into our new house, I just hope this hurricane doesn't set us back and have to fork out money for repairs instead of interior decorating and furnishings.
Enjoy the weekend break and I'll catch you next week with an update on Hurricane Matthew.
