When you have wonderful best friends, like Brittany, you find yourself being forever grateful for the kindest and simplest of pleasures, like buy 3 get 2 free lotion deals from Bath & Body Works.

I’m a personal fan of peaches, mangos, tangerines, and related fruits, so having these scented lotions are a major plus.

Britt also gifted me a birthstone necklace from a local store at home.  It comes in a mini bottle with a cork, as well as a description of what the month of June will mean to me when I wear the necklace.  These types of necklaces, as well as bracelets & rings, have been incorporating birthstone gems more so than before.  Similar styles can be found at many boutiques.  Just keep those eyes open.
