What's in your Weekender?

Monday again. Ughh.
Monday's are always hard after a nice weekend. The good news is that we are heading to Tahoe this coming weekend and I cannot wait!!!

Alright let's recap this weekend with B and Meghan.

Friday night Scott and I headed to the Raiders game. I should preface this by saying that I am a 49er fan and Scott is a Charger fan. This year Scott decided to buy season tickets to sell and make a little money and seeing as how this was a preseason game we thought'd we'd check it out. This evening started off bad. Let me back up a little bit, when the Raiders tickets arrived they game with this clear bag. Scott handed it to me and said "here you go dear." Uhh, I'm never using that. Well we get to the game and I have my kick around cross body bag on that I take to sporting events and we get to the gate and they tell me I can't take it in, cause it's too big and not clear. WHAT?!?!


Mind you all I had in there was my wallet and my phone. And we had taken Bart (local metro) so there was no taking it and putting it in the car. Pissed! That's why all these people are carrying those dumb clear bags! Then they tell us there is a bag check. We walk over to the bag check and it's $5 to check my $10 bag (got it old navy years ago). Umm no, I'm not paying $5 for this. Thankfully I brought a jacket so I took my phone and wallet out, rolled up my little fabric bag and put it in the sleeve of my jacket and breezed through security. I kinda felt like this...


I mean seriously, do your local NFL teams have this rule too or is it just this team?!? I mean after seeing the crowd I'm glad they do this. I'm not a hater I swear, but it was a little scary.

I have to say that I've never seen so many cops and security in one place and I've also never smelled so much "fresh" weed and "freshly smoked" weed in my life. Ridiculous. The Raiders did win and the seats that Scott got are really good but I'd probably be ok to miss the rest of the season. Well except when then play the 49ers but that is where Scott is going to get all his money, so I'll sacrifice.

I didn't expect that portion of the weekend to be so long.

Saturday, my bestie/sister came out for a shopping visit. She is dangerous to shop with. She's very stylish and knows all the best beauty secrets so I was in trouble, granted it actually ended up being just fine. 

We stopped off at Sephora where we both picked up some lipstick and liner and this Sephora Perfection Mist Airbrush Foundation

I'm not a beauty blogger but I think I may do a review of this foundation, would you be interested?

Next stop was Banana Republic. Nicole had a friends and family card which meant 50% off 5 items, I'm regretting the fact that I only got 2 items. Shoes for me and a shirt for Scott. Look at these beauties. 
And they are so comfortable! We completed the evening with dinner and drinks with my other (real) sis and then going to her house for some patio of thought time. This is where you sit on the patio, drink champagne, eat good food and talk about life. Sounds pretty perfect right?! 

Sunday we did another bike ride down to the Marina followed by drinks and dinner downtown.

How was your weekend?

  1. LOL don't worry, it's not just your local team it's a nationwide NFL rule. They started it last year and women every where freaked out but the NFL commissioner was pretty much like "don't like the rule? don't come then". So dumb! Ummm you definitely have to do a review of that airbrush foundation! And LOVE your new shoes!

  7. Yes review the foundation! I've never really used Sephora brand but about a year ago I bought a concealer and have been pretty impressed with both the quality and the price tag. Apparently they're upping their game!

  8. I FEEL YOUR PAIN. I had to take that dumb, ugly plastic "NFL-approved" clear bag with me to the game just to play it safe. You're so lucky that you were able to roll your bag up and sneak by!! I think it's really going overboard. I don't want people to know what I have in my bag! If concert venues start adopting this, I'm doomed. I refuse.

  12. I would love to see a review on that foundation. This is the first city I have ever lived in with a Sephora, and I'm terrified to go in, well my wallet is scared. I want to run in there, try out everything, and spend lots of money. I may have to tell my wallet to shut up, and go for it!
