The Kindle

I've been wanting a Kindle since it came out a couple of years ago. I finally got one for my birthday last month (thanks mom & dad) and I love it! Basically a Kindle is a little computer where you can download books in seconds at reduced prices (usu. under $10 or FREE). You can also download newspapers, magazines, blogs, etc. It doesn't need to be plugged in and there's no need for wi-fi. You can read your books on the Kindle screen. It reads like paper without a glare (even in bright sunlight). You can highlight and look up the meaning of a word instantly, have the Kindle read your book to you and all kinds of other amazing things that I'm still figuring out. It's about as thin as a magazine and it holds up to 1500 books! I am very excited that I won't be clogging up shelf space with all the books I buy and no more carrying around a big heavy hardback. It's so ideal for traveling. I love it!

Spring Break

This spring break we headed south to sunny St. George. And I was so happy to have my good friend, June, and her family join us. We tried to make the most of our vacation so we did lots of hiking and exercising. We spent a day hiking in Zion National Park. This was Arabella's 1st experience hiking with us in a back pack and she loved it. Also a 1st for her was playing in sand... We hiked up to some big sand dunes in Snow Canyon and she got to play in the sand (picture above of her and Hudson, June's youngest). When I wasn't looking she ate some sand, which she immediately threw up. Hopefully, she's learned her lesson. Tony did lots of mountain biking and Jon (June's hubby) joined him for a ride. Tony taught Gavin how to fish. June and I even got to indulge in a little spa action in the form of mani-pedis. It was a wonderful getaway.

Sephora is coming!

I just found out that my all time favorite beauty supply store is finally coming to Utah! Sephora is coming to the Fashion Place Mall in June. Now I won't have to order all of my must have beauty products online anymore. If you have never been to Sephora you must go. My favorite thing about Sephora, besides the fact that it has an enormous selection of all the best beauty products, is that you can try out all the makeup yourself. There are people there to help you if you need it, but I love that I can play around with the products myself instead of having someone try stuff on me, me pretend to like it and then feel obligated to purchase something from them. I think it opens on June 4th. I can't wait!
