Ala Moana Shopping Center (Honolulu, Hawaii)
I dragged Hubby to Ala Moana Shopping Center
today to start our Christmas shopping. In the six hours that we were
there, we managed to get a few gifts for others and a few for
ourselves. Even hiding behind my camera lens, Rod managed to recognize me! It was nice to see him and his wife, as well as meet his daughter. (Rod, see you at the mall again on Black Friday??)
Side note: I meant to do a vlog entry today. I even recorded an
intro, but just was too excited about all the SHOPPING (!) to record
much else. Even the photo above isn’t anything special — but it’s the
only one I took (just before Rod caught me to said “hi”).
We spent nearly two hours in Sephora. (Even though I only wear pressed powder and lipstick regularly, I adore Sephora and can spend hours in there.) I picked up the Double Rich Hot Cocoa
3-in-1 shampoo, bath, and shower gel by Philosophy for myself and I am
now officially spoiled. I don’t think I could go back to body wash from
Longs Drugs anymore. Too bad the Hot Cocoa is a seasonal item. The
scent of chocolate rising in the steam of a hot shower is delectable!
I’m totally going back to Sephora (soon!) to pick up the Cinnamon Buns shimmer body lotion. Yes, I can be girlie sometimes, too. Not often, but sometimes.
Shari will
find this tidbit amusing: I was also stoked to find my favorite Jockey
undies at Macy’s. My old ones (bought from the Jockey store in Waikele
before they closed) were literally ready to fall apart. I bought 2
packages! Yay for cotton bikini undies!
A long, but productive day at the mall. Hubby is a blast to shop
with and he never gets grouchy being at the mall for hours like some
men might — as long as we make sure he gets a matcha bubble tea on the
way out. Knowing this would be a long one, he actually got a coffee
boba on the way in — and a green tea on the way out. I love days like
this. There’s nothing better than spending the day with the Hubs —
especially at the mall.
