As promised in
my Thanksgiving and Black Friday post, I am going to be posting my Black Friday haul!! I am so excited to show my purchases. It's nothing too crazy, but it always feels nice to treat myself. I really want to do an outfit post before the month is over, but I feel like I have too many things to post about and not enough time! I have been to so many places this month (with crazy Christmas decorations) and gotten so much items that I want to review! (including an influenster box!)
Most of the items I purchased here were brought on Thanksgiving day after my dinner. I went to the mall and saw just so much cute things. I really wanted it all, but I had to limit myself. I also took some time to get gifts for some of my friends and family! =)

I don't remember the exact stores I got each of these at. I'm sorry, but these are all under $10 each I am pretty sure! |
I didn't even notice all the rings I brought until the end of my shopping. I guess I just kept on buying and buying.
The first ring I got was at Kohls I think and it came in a set of two. It is a band with diamonds. I don't know why I chose to get it but it was really cute and inexpensive. I have been trying to find an "everyday" type ring forever now and I thought this one might be it.
The 2nd ring I got is a silver colored ring with 6 crystals in the center.
My 3rd ring came in a set with the 4th ring and I think that it was purchased at forever 21. I really like the 4th ring more than the 3rd ring and I personally do not thing that they look that good together. When my little cousin came over my house last weekend, she saw my rings set out on the table and I decided to give her the cute little flower one!
The 5h ring is an infinity ring that has gems that match my birthstone, aquamarine!
My 6th and final ring is this adorable fox shaped ring! I really love this ring and I think it might be my favorite. It's quite big on my finger and is a nice piece to add to a simple outfit!
This item I got at Kohls. I don't think it is a pandora bracelet but it is a very nice dupe of it. Initially I didn't notice this item in the middle of the store, but what I did notice was these adorable charms. The pink sparkles on the beads caught my eye and then I realized that they belonged to the bracelet! I really wanted the beads so I ended up picking them up along with the bracelet. It's so cute.. a big childish, but I am kinda of a child at heart even though I'm only 3 months away from turning 18!
I also picked up this really fancy looking watch in rose gold. Rose gold is really in right now and I love the color a lot. I think the color with a watch is very nice and I found one that I love a lot. The face of the watch itself is metal while the band is more of a rubbery material. I saw a metal type band in the store as well, but I noticed the color on the metal peeling off quite easily which is why i opted for rubber instead.
This purchase was something I have been needing for a while now!... new earphones!! I misplaced my earphones a long time ago (this summer I think) and have been earphoneless since! I got these at Aeropostale and I really love the way they look. I brought 3, but only the pink.. and maybe the blue one is for me. I plan on giving the yellow one away to my secret santa and the blue to my sister if she wants it.
In our group of friends, we always decide to do a secret santa exchange instead of buying a gift for everyone. There is a lot of people and to have to buy gifts for everyone is a bit costly. So instead, we just spend money on one person and we can get each other better gifts!

(from left to right)- The Reign of Studs, The Holographic, Pop the Bubbles |
This was brought by me. This collection by L'oreal called dare to layer (I think) was being featured. The purple color caught my eye at first and I saw the sample pictures and it looked amazing. After looking through their like, I ended up picking up the purple, the holographic clear coat and the blue. I have tried a swipe of the purple and I really love the way it looks and feels on my nails. It's not a smooth feeling finish but rather a bumpy one because of the glitter. The clear coat is very pretty as well. I love how my camera is able to capture the specks of glitter inside. When I put the clear coat on my nails, it catches the light so beautifully.
As for the blue polish, I love it a lot, but I do plan on giving it away as a present for someone. I bet they will really love it!
This is a cute item I picked up. I love nivea a lot and this is a mini tin of their lotion. It's perfect for travel and I am going to be traveling to NY twice this month + I am also going on a vacation while I am in NY. I'm too excited for this vacation, but I have so much work that needs to be completed before then so I cannot let myself go into vacation mode just yet!
So this purchase wasn't my idea, but rather my mom's. She saw this pack of 10 socks at the store and told me to pick some up. I guess this makes sense because I run a lot and I often end up ruining my socks whether that is from holes or dirt. Running in mud really destroys shoes/and socks hehe.

The whole reason my mom wanted to go Black Friday Shopping |
This purchase was all my mom's idea and basically the whole reason we decided to go out on Thanksgiving night to go shopping. It's a good massager from brookstone! This one is perfect for anyone who is in need of a nice food massage. My mom's job entitles her to stand 7+ hours a day and she always is scared of injuries later on in life. She things a foot massager like this will help her and I agree!! She really needs something for her feet and this is perfect! It comes with heat which is so nice! My personal favorite setting is pulse on high with heat. My mom thinks it hurts, but I like it!
Because of out busy shopping, we needed to refuel. We did this with some complementary Godiva chocolate and Panera bread. After our spree on Friday, we stopped by panera for a sandwich and smoothie to split and some delicious chocolate. I could eat Godiva everyday!
I don't know if this part of the haul pertains too much to you guys, but I needed to pick up some more hamster supplies. They actually had a sale at the pet store for black friday!! I got some more bedding for my hamster. I need a lot more now since I recently upgraded her cage. It's no longer one of those mini cages, but rather a huge bin! I plan to show you guys some pictures later! Like I said before, I have so many things I want to share with you guys, but not enough time!
Along with the bedding, I also picked up some more oxbow hamster food! I learned that Oxbow and hazel hamster are the best types of food for you hamster so I wanted to pick them both up. Unfortunately the two pet stores I went to don't carry hazel hamster!!!! It actually makes me a bit angry so not I am deciding if it is worth it to order online. The shipping is ridiculous though because of how heavy the food is!
Along with her food, I got her many treats. (not all are shown) I got her some "pretzels," sticks to chew on, a salt lick, a dish w/ walnuts, yogurt drops, an apple chew (now shown), some trail mix, and a ladybug cookie. (also nut shown) She likes everything except the ladybug cookie and trail mix! She is too cute!
This is pretty much the end of my haul! I was very satisfied with what I got on Black Friday. I got a few items for myself and the majority of my Christmas shopping completed! I love that feeling of being able to say that you are done with Christmas gifts. I'm not all done yet, but a lot closer than I have been in the past years. I typically end up buying all my gifts 2-3 days before I have to give them... It's very stressful! I also am happy with the hamster supplies I picked up and so is my hamster!
