little joys in February

So I just got home from driving in a blizzard. Considering I own a Mitsubishi Eclipse it wasn't a great situation - I got stuck on the main road a few miles away from my house and got a little panicked. However I called my mom and she told me to try a low gear and that worked, even though I made it to my house skidding and slipping.

So what did I learn? Not to be caught outside when a blizzard hits in my car Ariel. Sometimes we have mild snow storms, and sometimes they are full on blizzard white outs. That is what I experienced today. I'm a confident driver in the snow, but not when I'm in a sports car. I was in Target when the storm hit so I had no idea that it had begun. I was going to try and beat it. By the time I got out of the building, however, the storm had landed! Since my family lives in the mountains I was afraid of getting stuck on the hill close to our house. Turns out I was right {because I did get stuck temporarily,} but thank goodness I made it home alright. :)

Anyway, just wanted to share that story with you!
Be safe out there in the snow Ocean Dreamers!

So this post is going to be a mix of things that have given me joy this past month. Hopefully they give you a little bit of joy too by looking at the pictures!

Let's start with food, shall we?

I had the most amazing sushi roll in CA. 

I love it when the sushi chef makes the sushi nice looking.
That's calamari on top in case you were wondering.

In AZ I had this super yummy virgin daiquiri.

I'm a lightweight so no alcohol for me that night, ha ha.

Froyo and chocolate covered gummy bears. Need I say more?

I couldn't help but try on these amazing Jessica Simpson pumps

at TJ Maxx a few weeks back.

They were surprisingly comfy and even though I didn't buy them,

I thought they were super cute and stylish!

 I was in Free People heaven at an awesome mall in Scottsdale, AZ.

I also did a lot of antique shopping with my mom.

She loves antiques, hence why I grew up in a house

with all sorts of antiques inside. I enjoyed going with her

and finding amazing vintage treasures like you see below.

A while back I bought a Groupon deal to make a Mixibook. 

I make one of BK and I and I really like how it turned out!

I also got a new planner {that I love} and I can't wait to read the

new Glamour mag with Amanda Seyfried. My favorite magazine.

How was your February? 

Can you believe that tomorrow is March 1st?!

Happy March {almost}!
