Mental Health Day

I took a mental health day recently with a good pal of mine and we had a super duper blast. We sipped coffee, thrifted, ate a turkish lunch, got stuck in Sephoria for 1.5 hours (rain), and then had a beer all by 5pm! It was a fantastic day and I got to fulfill a want: Swatch watch!




Recently, Sal at Already Pretty http://www.alreadypretty.com/2009/07/already-prettypoll-back-to-future.html posed the question of what trends we'd like to relive. My vote was for swatch watches, they came in fun colors, were waterproof, and even had accessories (those little face protectors).



I've looked into buying a new one, but sheesh, they are $55. I guess that isn't too much if you're wearing it often, but I just wanted a silly weekend watch with color. $55 was too much.




On my mental health day I found a swatch. For $12! In its original case! I was pretty pumped. I got a battery today and am proudly wearing it.





BUT I can't take a photo for you today. I don't have my camera cord with me right now to show off my cool watch. Below is what it looks like, you'll have to pretend to see it on my wrist (worst.post.ever.)

Jackpot

I checked out a rather skeevy looking thrift store yesterday during lunch and JACKPOT. I found a gemagic for $2. New. Never used. I never heard of a gemagic, but it looks like instant fun... http://www.gemagicstuds.com/

This is everything that came in the box...

Pretty cool, huh?

I have a couple of blank boring tanks that I'll probably tag. I've been dying to add studs..ala Punky Style. http://punkystyle.com/diy-studs/

I just couldn't bear to purchase a kit for something that I may only do to a couple times. Two bucks was the perfect price for me.
