Happy Pink Witches Night Out

Happy Monday guys! I have to share with you the exciting Halloween party details but first I have to let you know about an awesome party I happened to run into when out of town!!

Remember that Bubble Tea place?!!??! Well, the tea was so good that I decided to drive back and get another one the next night. I am SOOO happy I did. 

I got to the town and there were tons of people out and about! Tables and booths n the streets and sidewalks everywhere! Turns out, it was Pink Witches Night out in the town on Denville, NJ!!! It is a fundraiser and awareness raising for Breast Cancer. All the stores donate a portion of their profits to Breast Cancer and there are tons of raffle baskets, giveaways, etc.

Here is the pamphlet...

The inside... 

And the map where you could get free stuff and samples!!! 

The pink flags were all over the town...see it across the street...

There were tons of giveaway booths with great stuff!! 

Some people (that knew about it in advance-HAHA) dressed up as witches!!

They had this fun game...reach in the bra and get a ping pong ball - you win the prize that is on the ball...so funny!!! This lady tried to get her son to do it and he would not (he was like 14 and SOOO EMBARRASSED-HA) so she posed for my picture! Thanks mystery woman!

All of the store fronts were decorated so cute too!

Here is a shot down the street...

Afterwards, I headed home and forgot dinner. So I stopped at Chick-filA. That place is ALWAYS crazy busy!!!! No matter where I go, in what town, there is always a line at this place. I decided to wait to try it out.

After eating there - I do not understand what is so great about it to wait in a line this long for chicken it took me 1/2 hour to get my food - I will never do it again. Tastes just like everyone else's chicken to me. HA!

Once I got back to the hotel I dumped out the loot bag and here is all my stuff! Lots of lip balm, hand sanitizers (I go through a lot of these), stress balls, clips, band-aids, floss, travel mug, etc. 

Oh, and, the most important thing....I got a pink extension in my hair. They put these in peoples hair for free too! I still have it in there - I love it! 

Happy Pink Witches night out!!

I hope you all are set to have a great week!

Happy Monday!

How was your weekend? Do you like free stuff? Do you  know a survivor? Are you a survivor? If so, congrats on winning the fight for your life!! You are in my prayers!

Quick beach trip to Stone Harbor, NJ

Happy hump day!

I hope everyone is have a fantastic week!!! The weather here in Pittsburgh is so nice...it finally feels like summer! Yippee!!!

Today at work we are having an employee appreciation picnic...so excited to sit outside and enjoy the weather at lunch time!!! Ahhhhhh.....

So, last weekend was awesome!!!!! I got home from my trip and then called the cat sitter to come back again and went on ANOTHER trip! HA!!!

My little sister had their family vacation last week and invited me down to hang with them for the final couple days. We normally all go together but this year the only time her family could go (due to sports and summer camps) was June and no one else wanted to spend June at the Jersey shore (the water is freezing then) so their went alone and my older sister and I popped in for a few days when we could.

This is Saturday when I arrived...I LOVE the beach, Stone Harbor, NJ...the sound alone is sooo relaxing to me (gulls, ocean waves, laughter)....serenity!

It was a little cold...as you can tell by my older sister. It was not as cold as she is making it seem but according to her she was "freezing"! HA HA! We still got tan though - HA!


This is my adorable nephew making friends with the planter frog in a store in Stone Harbor.


I went for a walk early Sunday before anyone else was up and got this beautiful sunrise picture!!


Another sunrise with the dunes...


Sunday morning we all walked down to Coffee Talk. We love this quaint little coffee shop (their oatmeal is delicious!!!). My niece loves it because Taylor Swift goes there with her family...see the pic in the background. Kyleigh is a HUGE TayTay fan!!! 

Next door they also have a fresh juice shop called The Juice Girl.  It was great for fresh cold pressed juices and smoothies!! I got an apple cider shot and green veggie drink and the kids all got smoothies - both were awesome!!!!  YUM!!!


Here is the little sister and her family toasting with their coffees and smoothies in Coffee Talk!


My niece Alyssa was shopping and saw this magnet. She bought it for me and then they stuck it on my car when I was not looking! HA HA! I love it so much!!!


As quickly as I got there; it was time to begin the 7 hour drive home. It was totally worth the drive to be able to spend time with my adorable nieces and nephew on their vacation! 

I was stuck in stopped traffic leaving the beach when I spotted this cool nest on top of the power lines. I think it is an osprey but I am not sure of that...so cool though!


My favorite purchase I made over the two day vacation was an adorable striped, short sleeve cardigan that goes perfectly with all my simmer dresses for work! Yippee - it was a great deal for something I can wear almost every day! Here is a picture from my desk at work...


I hope every is having a fantastic week. Please heed my warning...life is SOOO short...if given the opportunity to go somewhere or do something (no matter how short the duration or long the drive) DO IT! I drove 7 hours each way to spend 48 hours at the beach and I am so happy I did! We had so much fun and made so many memories!!! I want to be a part of as many happy and awesome memories as I can for my nieces and nephews!!! Spend as time as you can with those you love...life is short!

Every drive really far for a short amount of time? Taking a vacation this year? Where are you going? Do you go to the same place or change it up every year?
 
HUGS TO EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU! Thanks for reading!
