Happy Friday, Penny Darlings!

I swear, Mother Nature is OFF her rocker right meow. It snowed, like, a foot in the last two days, but now it’s in the fifties and I’m wearing a romper. Ugh. It’s hard to dress like that!

But anyway! Hello! Happy Friday! TGIF, hardcore!

It’s been a snowy week this week, but Preston got an unexpected snow day which was lovely! And we’re having a theatre-y weekend and that should be equally delightful!

But I teamed up with Capital City Mall here in Camp Hill, PA (where we live!) for a giveaway for all of our local ladies!

I went on a shopping spree and hit some amazing shops from Bath & Body Works to Francesca’s to DSW to JCPenney to Fine Wine & Good Spirits and everywhere in between to build the perfect grown-up Easter Basket!

What’s In The Bag?!

So let’s talk a little bit! This gorgeous floral purse (a total steal from JCPenney!) is stuffed to the gills with over $200 worth of goodies! This is a perfect gift for yourself for Easter, a great Mother’s Day grab, or even just a treat for yourself!

So then I had to ask myself – “What is the PERFECT combo of self-care, accessories, treats, fashion, & wine for this basket?”

 

Self-Care & Home Spa!

So first, I stopped in to Bath & Body Works! So I snagged this sea salt and mango body wash, this bunny loofah, and this cotton candy marshmallow candle with this adorable magnet chick to stick on the lid!

Then I popped over to DSW and they had the cutest little Burt’s Bee’s gift packets with hand cream and lip balm! Perfect for battling the last of the dry winter skin!

Last, I bopped over to Francesca’s and they had TONS of face masks in the shop and I had a tough time picking – but I figure Charcoal was good for most skin types!

Included: 

Mango & Sea Salt Body Wash – Bath & Body Works
Marshmallow Candle & Chick Magnet – Bath & Body Works
Pink Bunny Loofah – Bath & Body Works
Burt’s Bee’s Moisture Pack – DSW
Charcoal Face Mask – Francesca’s

Treats!

For this one I stopped in to Gertrude Hawk to grab some must needed chocolate! I grabbed the peanut butter smidgens (but they have at least another three flavors!) which are the perfect Easter snack to hide from loved ones and enjoy yourself!

I also HAD to get these white chocolate bunny pops. They are SO FREAKING CUTE!

And of course, the Easter staple: Peeps (and repping our hometown of PA!)

Included: 

1 Pack of Gertrude Hawk PB Smidgens – Gertrude Hawk
1 Pack of Marshmallow Peeps – Gertrude Hawk
2 White Chocolate Bunny Pops – Gertrude Hawk

 

Fashion & Accessories!

I went to a bunch of shops looking for the right pieces! I stopped in at DSW first (and after being tempted by a few cute handbags) and snagged these SUPER fuzzy socks (perfect for the final snow days!), these cute fashion bandanas, and this little travel themed wallet! (I even went back and got a wallet for myself!)

And of course, while I was at Francesca’s, I snagged those PERFECTLY pink and springy floral earrings! These would also match perfectly with the purse!

Included:

Two Pack Fuzzy Socks – DSW
Travel Wallet – DSW
Fashion Bandanas – DSW
Pink Petal Earrings – Francesca’s

 

& Finally….Wine!

And for our 21+ group, I popped over to the brand new Fine Wine & Good Spirits! It’s actually considered a ‘premium’ location! That just means that they have a ton more sizes, flavors, brands, and varieties!

So I grabbed this adorable bottle of wine (rose, of course!). I even think you could use the bottle as a cute vase after you enjoy the drink! So again, this part of the giveaway is for our 21+ friends!

I also stopped into Francesca’s to grab a bunch of wine accessories! I grabbed this girl’s night trivia game in that adorable wine tin! So perfect for a wine night with the girl squad! I also grabbed these IMPOSSIBLY cute wine bottle tutus which should add the perfect touch of glam & whimsy to your wine night! And finally the mermaid tail wine stopper was just too cute to say no to!

Included:

Rose Wine – Fine Wine & Good Spirits
Mermaid Tail Wine Stopper – Francesca’s
Wine Tutus – Francesca’s
Wine Trivia Game – Francesca’s
