Adulting Milestone #2: Road Trip!

You know how, as a kid, you get super pumped about big trips to fun places, like the zoo or an amusement park? Remember how it was so thrilling to hop into the car and bounce the entire way there, annoying the ever-loving-hell out of your parents as you asked, again and again, if you were there yet?

As you get older, that excitement that comes from family trips gets replaced by road trips, and I got to take one yesterday. My first one, actually, and I went with the glorious group of lovelies you see right up there. We loaded up in to two cars and drove up to King's Island, just outside Cincinnati, Ohio, a good two hour trip from our hometown.

That's the entire group; we're all technically "adults," but there wasn't any grown-ups accompanying us, and that was pretty cool. We were able to just plan a trip in a few hours and go and do it the next day, which is a pretty cool thing. No asking parents or scheduling days or curfews; just a road trip and awesome day in the sun. (The very hot, hot, hot sun.)

Adulting has its benefits.

Interne(a)t Shops

I love internet shopping; it's fun to peruse oceans of items that you can't find anywhere else, and then have them show up in your mail like little presents that you buy for yourself. It's wonderful and addicting. With a job secured, I now have my eyes open for neat little shops that I can poke about, and these are a few of the ones I've stumbled upon.

Adagio Teas has been in my bookmarks for ages, and I'm just dying to try them out! I'm a tea lover at heart, and they have a huge enough selection to nearly have me swooning. My heart is set on this strawberry tea that sounds absolutely to die for; I can't wait!! This site is also a great option for tea enthusiasts who don't live near any local tea shops. (What a sad, sad state of affairs.)

Frostbeard is an Etsy store that specializes in geeky candles, featuring scents like "bookstore." I stumbled across this shop through their KickStarter, which is also a delightful place to spend some money. I need candles for my apartment, and this is the place I'll be getting them, methinks.

The Miss Zandry Shop had my heart at first click. They're a bit pricey, but so worth it. I've got my eye on the sweatshirts, since I love wearing hoodies when winter comes around. I'm particularly infatuated with this one and this one.

Do you have any neat shops that you'd like to show the world or recommend? Leave a comment below!
