"Ulta" Excited





Happy Thursday! 


When I moved back to the Gulf Coast from Charlotte (years ago!), I was so sad about the shopping. Or should I say the lack of shopping? One of my favorite places was Ulta; and I used to frequent my local "Ulta" store (which was conveniently about a mile away) every Saturday morning. 


When we lived in Destin, finally an Ulta opened both in Destin and Panama City Beach. They opened less than a month after we moved back to Alabama. *Sheds tears*. A few years ago, yet another Ulta opened in D'Iberville, MS (outside of Biloxi). While this is a 90 mile haul from my home, occasionally I will make the trip with my Mother and sister. Especially since we can also visit the casinos along the Mississippi Gulf Coast while we're there....Hard Rock, anyone? :-) 


NOW I'm so excited as not just one, but two, new Ulta locations are opening in my area! The Mobile store (above) is opening in about a month. And while I don't live in Mobile, I'm there once a week for work and will be able to visit anytime I want! 


Also, there is a location opening in Daphne, which is where my sister lives and is "only" 40 miles away! The store is opening this Sunday, October 9. Mother, Amy and I will be there when the doors are opened for the first time! We're all very excited - they always have fantastic opening week "deals" - freebies, gifts with purchase, and drawings. 



Ask me if my DH is as excited as I am? HAHA, he knows this is going to cost a little bit. 


I can't wait until Sunday - I'll be sure to share my goodies with you in a future post. Do you like to shop at Ulta? And - do you prefer Ulta or Sephora?


Have a great day!

    I'm a totaly Ulta addict! I can't compare Ulta to Sephora, though. I just think they're too different, and they share an equal part of my heart! ;^)

    Thanks so much for this post. I would have NEVER gone into the Ulta if you hadn't of recommended it. I cannot wait to go back. I want to experiment with Stilla and Urban Decay. Maybe you could do another post that includes all of your favorite cosmetic brands. You may have already done this. Next I need a hairbrush and I think you posted about that, too. I will go back and look. xoxo

Birthday Celebration: Lilly Pulitzer Giveaway from The Pink Pelican

Image
Today I will celebrate my birthday. I'm a little bit sad to report, the DH is out of town and won't be able to come home for the festivities. Not that it's a big deal or anything (not a milestone birthday or anything), but I am a LEO and y'all know it's true - Leos love their birthday. I'm no exception! Tonight I will celebrate with my sister and BFF by going out to dinner, and tomorrow with birthday cake and gifts with my parents, nephews and friends. I'm so thankful for it all, but I'm going to miss my sweetie. :-(  My friends at The Pink Pelican in Huntsville have generously offered a giveaway to commemorate the day!  Most of you know, they are one of my favorite Lilly Pulitzer Via shops and I buy lots of my Lilly from Angie and The Pelican Crew! I love knowing that I am supporting a small, female owned business. In today's economy, I think that is very important. If you are considering any purchases from the new Lilly Pulitzer Fall 2011 line

Please join me today in welcoming The Tracy Negoshian!*** You have probably noticed from previous posts that Tracy Negoshian is quickly becoming one of my favorite designers. During recent Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales, I ordered so many new dresses and tunics, it was like an early Christmas present when they all arrived.  Tracy's designs are a favorite of preppy girls everywhere. They are easy to wear - the comfy jersey fabric is flowy, but somehow fitted just enough to be feminine. Many of the items I ordered work for all seasons here at the beach. Just last week, I wore the Sheada Tunic Dress is Navy Life Preserver to a casual holiday gathering. Say "hi" to Phillip and Angie - these two ke
