On New Year’s Day 2022, I treated myself to a nice shopping trip. It wasn’t the same as past annual New Year’s Day shopping trips which would take us to Borders in Monroeville or Barnes and Noble in Greensburg. The weather was miserable and nothing like January 1 should be. I prefer sunshine and a little snow on the ground from an earlier winter storm that week after Christmas.
I stopped at South Hills Village and walked into the ULTA Beauty which was behind the mall in the annex where Dicks Sporting Goods was once located. This wasn’t my first trip there as I’d visited the one in the new Block at Northway last summer. I got some great deals on bath and body type things such as a loofah (I swear by those things in the shower, some hand soap, and a Toy Story themed shower set. For the first time all year, I got to make use of my ULTA haul.

I’m also going to use some of my makeup from my ULTA Beauty box that I got for Christmas from Rob and Sara. What a fun gift exchange that was, plus we got together and had lunch in Ligonier at the Wicked Googly during IceFest. I got Sara a Burt’s Bees set and Rob an Office page a day calendar. I’m really into the show and I have them to thank for that.
I spent that day talking about my new job but also my old coworkers from WIS too. One of these days we’ll get Sara and Rob to meet them. We also saved my pink Coach purse from getting destroyed as my leopard print scarf got stuck. Luckily we sacrificed the scarf to save the bag and you can’t even tell.

I had a wonderful time visiting family at my house on Easter. We had a nice turnout and my aunt came to visit as well. My relatives from Berlin came as well.
Because I had to rest up for Giant Eagle last night, I couldn’t do too much with my ULTA Beauty box. I was able to try the sheer lip gloss however and I did paint my nails for the first time since we were at IceFest. We’ll try again when I have dinner with Mr. Clougherty Thursday night.
