Happy Wednesday! Last night, right after I finished writing yesterday's blog post, I blew out the candles on my delicious ice cream cake, then my parents surprised me with two presents! They really were a surprise, since we agreed that the choir trip to Chicago this weekend would be my only present. The first one contained something I'd never heard of: a Birch Box. It's this monthly subscription to getting samples of the newest beauty products in this adorable little box! It's so cool! In the box from last night I got a Madewell emory board, a benefit lip/cheek stain, a Juicy Couture perfume sample (it smells
so good), Skin & Co. Sicilian shower gel, and Whish blueberry shaving cream! I can't wait to try everything!
But the second present was beyond anything I could have hoped for. As you may know from my St. Patrick's Day post, my family is partly Irish. Well, when I opened the second present last night, this is what I got:
I AM IN LOVE. I've wanted a Claddagh ring for so long! The Claddagh ring is typically given to Irish women, and the hands represent friendship, the crown represents loyalty, and the heart represents love. Also, there are tiny diamonds on the heart and the diamond is my birthstone! It's perfect. This ring will be my "graduation ring," because my mom said that it's weird for people to wear their high school rings after high school, so you spend a ton of money on a ring that you probably wear for only one year. I'll wear this ring forever!
Today after school my mom took me to Jared's to get it sized (it was a little big) and luckily they were able to get it done in an hour! Usually those kind of things take a few weeks. So I get to wear it to school tomorrow! I'm so excited! Except it's really hard to get the ring over my knuckle...hopefully that doesn't become a problem. Anyway, I just feel like the luckiest girl in the world because I usually don't get very many gifts but I really lucked out this year with several very nice gifts!
Carpe Diem,
Brooke
