She is staycationing with me this week as we both took off from work. We met at Librarian school (aka we got our MLIS at Simmons at the same time, and Shelby got the more specific archivist degree) and she's been one of my favorite people ever since. She encourages my enthusiasms and mishaps and I do the same for her :)</div><div><br /></div><div>So, the idea behind this video is that we bought a bunch of stuff and we thought to do a video with all of it. Said haul stuff comes from Barnes and Noble, Anthropologie, and Sephora. What ended up happening is that we spend most of the first 14:23 putting hair masks on and then the rest putting hair masks on each other and also talking about books! </div><div><br /></div><div>... I dunno my dude, but I hope it's entertaining!</div></div><div><br /></div><div>Part 2 involves two more book shops we visited!
