Va-Cay Day 2: continued..

After an AMAZING morning at the Hershey Spa, Momma and I decided to meet back up with my dad. My dad had spent the day with one of his frat brothers from college. Mom and I found the two guys in downtown Hershey at a local bar and grill. We just HAD to have a chocolate martini in this "sweet chocolatey" town :)

We left the guys once again and Mom and I went to Chocolate World to buy some fresh Hershey chocolate and goodies/presents to bring back home :)

Notice the Hershey Kiss streetlights?

We met back up with the guys and went to Hershey Story, a little museum about the hisory of Hershey Company :)


How Hershey Kisses are made! 
I LOVE THIS CHANDELIER!! It was so pretty! And Milton Hershey only paid $5,000 for it!



After looking at the museum we had quite an appetite. Dad's friend Andy picked out the perfect place and joined us for dinner at the Hershey Pantry! This cute little restaurant tucked away downtown had some of the best food! The portions were HUGE too!

After dinner we went back to our hotel and ate some delicious mini cupcakes from a cupcake shop inside Hotel Hershey we had bought earlier that day!
 Smore's, Carrot Cake, and two Chocolate and Peanut Butter! These were super yummy!
Keep checking for more pics!! Up next, Amish store and scenery!

Va-Cay Day 2- Hershey Spa at Hotel Hershey

On Thursday October 20, momma and I had an experience of a lifetime at the Hotel Hershey Spa in Hershey, Pennsylvania.We arrived at the Hotel Hershey 45 minutes before our spa appointments began and we walked around, took some pics, and got signed in :)

We walked into the spa...checked in and ran over our itenerary with our hostess.

Service(s) Reserved: 10:30 AM Spa Rain Shower
                                          10:45 AM Milk & Honey Soak

                           12:30 PM Oasis Lunch
Mom and I put on our AMAZING robes and slippers after being given our lockers for personal belongings. I have never put on a robe so comfy as the wonderful yellow one at Hershey! I plan on ordering one soon :)

Totally don't know what's going on with my head being all weird tilted like that..o well!
*Spa Rain Shower*
This was a neat experience..I had to wear a swimsuit and this laday came in who was super sweet and she hosed me down on my back with a pressure hose...it felt really good on my back! My arms kind of flapped around a little bit though! Hahaha! My personal hostess lady, can't remember her name, was so nice! She told me I was the "princess" for the day and could use up all the towels if i wanted and to just throw them on the ground..no picking up after myself at the spa :) I really want this pretty mosaic shower with 14 shower heads in my bathroom :(
*Milk and Honey Soak*
This was the BEST and most AMAZING 15 minute bath I've had in my entire life! My personal hostess lady had the water temperature set to my likings before I entered the tub. Once I was in and relaxed she came in and turned the jets on. My sweet hostess had some fresh lemon water and hershey kisses waiting for me. I had 6 minutes left in my bath and ran out of kisses...luckily my hostess brought me another handful :)
*Cocoa Massage*
OMG! I have never had a profesisonal massage before in my life and I am pretty POSITIVE that I had one of the best massages' in the country at Hershey Spa. Thanks to Nathan, the guy who gave me my wonderful sweet smellin' cocoa massage! I have never felt more relaxed! I almost fell asleep it felt so good! The bed was even heated :) No pics of the cocoa massage.

*Oasis Lunch*
Lunch was fabulous! We were able to go to a special section down on the Oasis floor that was JUST for the spa! We were able to enjoy lunch all relaxful in our robes :) Lunch was a HUGE spread full of chicken salad wraps, tuna wraps, bruschetta and bread, artichoke and parmesan stuffed pork tenerloin (so yummy!!), pasta salad, regular salad, rolls, various veggies and dips too! Desserts...omg, the cutest little cupcakes with 3/4 icing, mini pecan tarts, mini cheesecakes, mini chocolate pies, and like 2 other fabulous treats along with different juices and coffee :) Water was served in huge glass bottles and placed on the center of our table near the window that looked out over the lawn.
On the particular day we went, the hotel was celebrating Breast Cancer awareness month and had special vendors from the Hershey Medical Center, make-up companies, and skin care companies at The Oasis available to answer any questions we might have. On the way home from our trip I got a phone call saying I won a prize drawing...it's in the mail and I'll get it soon! Wonder what it is ;)
*********************
In-between treatments Mom and I were able to relax in 1 of the 3 relaxation rooms :) Our favorite one was the "library" complete with magazines, chairs on the balconies, coffee, more lemon water, the BEST hot chocolate, as well as chocolate muffins and scones.

The entire staff of the Spa at the Hershey Hotel welcomed momma and I with open arms. Our experience was amazing and we are already planning our next spa day next year :)

Come back to see more of my Pennsylvania va-cay!:)

Happy Halloween!

Trick or Treat from my sweet butterfly Chloe-Elizabeth and I! The picture above is a cell phone pic of the homemade Halloween cards I sent out :) ...and here's some more because I might just have the cutest baby poodle ever!

Va-Cay Part 1-SORRELLI

Hey ya'll! I'm back from my vacay!! I had a blast with family this past week visiting fabulous places and enjoying the fall weather! I took over 600 pics this past weekend and I am not going to bore ya'll with all of them..especially all at once. I will do little sections or parts of my va-cay throughout the next week :)

Day 1- On Wednesday, my parents and I left the Montgomery airport and headed to Kutztown, Pennsylvania to visit SORRELLI!!! I was soooo excited!! Here's some airport pics of my parents and I.


The Sorrelli headquarters and retail store is located in the center of Kutztown, Pennsylvania, a charming college town. Elaine and Ronnie helped momma and I pick out our "goodies". Those ladies were SO sweet and welcomed momma and I with open arms. We loved trying on ALL the beautiful Sorrelli! We were layering and layering to get all different kinds of looks!
Here's the 4 GORGEOUS pieces I walked away with :) A necklace and bracelet to complete my "Sweetheart" collection. They are sending my bracelet off to be shortened so it fits perfectly, can't wait to get it back in 3 weeks! A new bangle that is just too perfect for words to complete my "Tapestry" set, and some earrings that I have wanting for the past year to complete my "Midnight Moon" set :)


Momma bought the following "pretties" in "Waterlily". Clip earrings and a ring that I will definitely be borrowing!



We bought my Me-Maw back a little something too! A bracelet in "Tapestry".
Wanna know something totally AWESOME??? Ok, I'll tell ya!! Guess who walked into the Sorrelli store during the 2 hours I was in there?? KERMIT OSWALD!!!! For those of you who don't know who this handsome fella' is...he is the co-founder of Sorrelli! Kermit and his wife Lisa Oswald started the gorgeous Sorrelli line years ago! Can you tell by the look on my face I was super excited!! I asked if he would take his picture with me, and he agreed :)

I had such a good chat with Kermit and the girls at Sorrelli! I can't wait to go back!! If you ever go near Pennsylvania...PLEASE stop by!! I have never seen so much BEAUTIFUL Sorrelli in all my life! I saw many unique and exquisite pieces in the Avant Garde collection and TONS of White Bridal...I will be going there to pick out my wedding jewelry for sure one day ;)

Have a FABULOUS day and be sure to check out Sorrelli's NEW HOLIDAY 2011 colors and designs HERE!

Fall Wedding Fun

There's nothing better than a wedding. Except maybe a FALL wedding :) Last weekend I attended a fall wedding in north Georgia with my friend Caleb (remember AL football game??). His sister Anna was the beautiful bride! Three years ago, I attended his other sister, Amber's wedding too! I guess I'm a good date since he asked me twice! I don't have lots of pics of the festivities, but here's a few that I took and were taken of Caleb and I!
The Fabulous Family 
of the Bride :)
Caleb and I. Like my "perfect for fall" pumpkin dress? I got it at VITA LUNA BOUTIQUE :)
 Guess who caught the bouquet AND garter?!?!
Yep, you guessed it!..
Here's a pic of his oldest sister Amber and her husband Jordan!
Aren't they the cutest couple! We are going to visit them soon and I'm so excited!
Happy Weekend!
