Peanut butter and jelly. Sonny and Cher. Carrie Bradshaw and Manolo Blahnik. Ashley and GPS.
I will admit that I have never been good with directions. My boyfriend always joked that he was going to get me GPS for my birthday until my parents actually did. Driving from my home to pick up contacts at Costco was suddenly easier. I could get from Royal Oak to West Bloomfield without getting lost. I didn't take the wrong Indiana toll road on my way to Chicago. GPS and I had the perfect relationship until I moved to Chicago. Suddenly I'm car-less and trying to navigate the El and bus routes on my own. Let's just say one of my proudest Chicago moments was giving my aunt and cousin legitimate directions back to their hotel...
It's been a learning process, but I have to say I'm slowly getting better. I took a cab to Halsted and Armitage last weekend and made it to my friend's place without getting lost. It might sound like a small feat, but to me it was the ultimate accomplishment. I felt it necessary to reward myself with a shopping trip, which brings me to my latest post... Lincoln Park shopping destinations!
I promise a longer post in the next day or so, but I have to take a moment to acknowledge Colorlab Custom Cosmetics. I will have more to report on this soon, but in the meantime, look this cosmetic company up! They are fabulous and I can proudly say I can find my way to their Lincoln Park store without a map.
