CocoFeed: Our First Christmas Tree

Coco

My boyfriend, Jake, and I moved in together this past March after dating for about a year. I haven’t had a Christmas tree is years, since my parent’s stopped putting one up, so this is the first one I have had in a long time. We bought the tree at “At Home” aka Garden Ridge, and the ornament’s came from Hobby Lobby. The tree topper was found on Amazon, and this is the first time I can even remember having a tree topper. I think this style is pretty unique, as most people I know usually have a star or angel on theirs.

CocoFeed: Decorating My Best Friend’s Mortar Board for College Graduation

My best friend is graduating in 2 weeks and she has been freaking out about getting her Mortar Board decorated. Side note, we bought and decorated mine THE DAY BEFORE my graduation… irony? We stopped at Hobby Lobby today and picked up the above items. Here is the outcome:

We chose the tiara because she has always loved crowns and the idea of being a princess. The apple, pencil, and books represent her love for teaching and her field in Education. And lastly, the zebra flowers because she LOVES zebra, tiger, black/white stripes.

I think it came out pretty awesome!

CocoFeed: ClubW has AWESOME coupons!

Coco

I found an awesome ClubW coupon on RetailMeNot, and was able to get a steal of THREE wine bottles for only $20, including shipping and tax. This would usually cost about $50. Holy crap, right?

Since I pretty much only drink Moscato type wines, I decided to branch out and try something new. I chose:

Reckless Optimism – a red
Little Sur – a chardonnay
So This Happened… – a white

Great deal if you ask me… Cheers!

CocoFeed: Happy Birthday to Me

Coco

Another year under my belt – 24 in total. I had a great day with my boyfriend, Jake. We went to the Downtown Aquarium in Houston. A day looking at fishies is a fun day to me. We also ate at their restaurant which was delicious (as well as super expensive!). The waiter brought out this cupcake for me — well this was the SECOND cupcake, as the first one accidently was knocked over right before being given to me LOL sweet guy, went back and got a new one. All in all it was a fun experience, but mostly because I got to spend it with my man <3
