LUSH Sale and Haul!

The day I've been waiting for. The day I specifically set aside money for. AFTER CHRISTMAS SALES! :D Mostly I was waiting for the LUSH sale. I don't treat myself to LUSH often because I have so many body lotions I don't use, I prefer shower gels to soaps, it's more expensive than drugstore or BBW stuff, I can go on and on with reasons not to buy LUSH. All I need is one good reason to buy their stuff and I go crazy. Apparently buy 1 get 1 free (on holiday items, wrapped gifts and soap) is a good enough reason ;) Granted, it's not as good as their sale last year, which was buy 1 get 2 free on their holiday items and soaps and buy 1 get 1 free on wrapped gifts. But still, something is better than nothing, right?

Here's a summary of the sales I was interested in, but just about every store is having a sale so the best thing to do is check their website to see what the deals are.
LUSH--buy 1 get 1 free on holiday items, soaps, and wrapped gifts
Abercrombie--50% off jeans (good until 12/127) and 40% off everything in the store except fragrances.
Hollister--same as Abercrombie
Victoria's Secret--buy 1 get one 50% off on their bras. They also are starting to put the clearance ones out so I don't know if their semi-annual sale as started yet or if this is just a precursor.
Bath and Body Works--semi-annual clearance sale

Now onto the goodies!

Revamping My Blog!

After my halfhearted attempt at blogging a year ago, (only 3 real posts. fail -_-) I was inspired to start again. A big reason is because I started reading DSK Steph's blog (check it out: http://stephanie-nguyen.blogspot.com and for her jewelry: http://www.dskjewelry.blogspot.com) and she had so many pictures, from food to makeup, that she was posting up. It seemed like she was having fun sharing parts of her life with people. Another reason is that I started taking a lot of pictures for my LUUUX posts and I figured I may as well put them to good use! But here goes blogging attempt #2!

I'm still playing around with the design and I definitely am changing the name. Hermione9713 (I know, creative right? haha) is just something I came up with when I needed an anonymous email address back in middle school and it's just what I use for just about everything else simply because I'm too lazy to come up with something else. So I'm trying to think of a good name but it may take a while.

In the meantime, I have a few posts planned that I'm really excited about! I tried making jewelry for the first time and I'm quite pleased with how it turned out. I also have been doing some major hauling (Hautelook! amiclubwear!) and trying out a bunch of new products (philosophy microdelivery peel=LOVE) so I'm excited to talk about those.

Constructive criticism is welcome :) I'm pretty much a blogging noob :P

PS, I really like my fish :) I first saw it on my friend's blog (http://jessthelander.blogspot.com) and thought she had to do all sorts of tricky computery things to get it. lol but it's actually easy to add to your blog and I had fun customizing it!
