About twelve years ago, Ness and I were flipping through an old wall calendar and saw that August 1st was Sister's Day. Turns out the first Sunday of August is actually Sister's Day, but in that particular year the first Sunday was August 1st and we just assumed August 1st was the day.
Ever since flipping through that wall-calendar, we've celebrated Sister's Day on August 1st, which this year was yesterday, on a Friday. Sister's Day is technically tomorrow, Sunday August 3rd this year, and to continue our celebration of Sister's Day weekend, we plan to grab and early morning Starbuks and travel many miles east to a West Elm outlet store.
Anyway, we celebrated yesterday night on our traditional day, too, and here's what we did...
We ate dinner at Grand Lux Cafe, and ended our meal with double creme brulee for dessert!
Afterwards, we wanted to see the movie Wish I Was Here, but it was not playing at the movie theater next door. Instead, we drove to a nearby outdoor shopping mall and hit up some of favorite places.
At ULTA Beauty we tried out different make-ups, blow dryers, and curling irons.
Next, we perused HomeGoods, and I ended up buying that black and beige area rug to lay on my future Texas balcony. (I'll be going back for those pillows.)
The Container Store was a big hit with my sis, as she's never been there before. (Oh, did I tell you? Ness got an apartment as well, and the both of us will be moved out probably by the end of the month.)
We walked up and down each aisle, and ended up each buying a hang-in-your-closet jewlery organizer. It was genius!
From there, we called it a night, and drove back home. On the way home, we sang along to the radio, and with the windows open in the warm August air, sang Whitney Houston's "I Have Nothing" start to finish. It's moments like these with my sister that mean the most to me. Both of us together, relaxed, and completely ourselves.
I got my pajamas on and got into my bed (sleepyhead), while Ness sat on my bedroom floor and worked on filling her jewlery organizer. Here was the end result:
Pretty cool, if you ask me. ♥
I'm looking forward to our daytrip tomorrow, and for our Sister's Day festivities to continue.
