TGIF everyone! 

Going off the list from yesterday's post on future fashion pics here is #1! Bellevue Square Mall of the Bellevue Collection, had a spring fling style contest for Instagram which I decided to enter in. 

The contest basically wanted you to share your favorite clothes and items from your favorite stores in the mall, using your creative skills to photograph and showcase the items. Then you would share your pictures on Instagram and hashtag "ISpyBellSq" to submit and enter your photos. The contest was from March to April with them announcing the winners the first week of May. 

I submitted a total of three photos to the contest {completely not in order: the 2nd, 3rd, & 5th photos, they're labeled} and then just took two extra ones just for fun {1st photo & 4th}, because I couldn't resist not sharing everything I got just for the halibut, I mean why not!? It was a joyful shopping spree!  

The last pic is of what I bought with my gift card and the same picture I shared on Instagram giving a shout out of what I had purchased. 

I'm so grateful for the opportunity and for have being chosen as one of the winners. Who knows? I might dabble more in future Instagram contests. I'm excited to work more on the fashion side of things but my blog will always be my personal lifestyle blog with no advertising or marketing gimmicks, I can promise you that!

Look forward to the remaining fashion posts listed from yesterday's post: #2 and #3. Also, next week I will have a post about exciting news on the business growth here in the Puget Sound- in Seattle and Bellevue. It'll highlight what big stores will be opening up here and many other new retail. Many exciting things to look forward to! 

As always, if you wanna see what I'm doing now or this weekend's adventures and shenanigans, just check out my Instagram page! It's the fastest and most current way to see what I'm up to when I'm out and about & on the go! 

Have a great weekend guys! Have fun and be safe. :)

Neon Highlights in the Mini Bowl Desert Garden 

Made this just yesterday. I am going to make more in smaller containers and then probably make a medium sized one after all the miniature or smaller containers. It was so much fun picking out the materials and then assembling the sand, rocks, and other decorative elements on top. My two new treasure troves are the two marvelous stores where I got my supplies from. One is mostly where I get the basic needs such as my plant and soil. The other store is more suited for the components you add to the bowl to make it look good, basically the decorations. My future ones I will be experimenting with more color, such as colorful sand, and different decorative components such as shells, stones, and minerals. Stoked!
