The next morning, Davina woke us at 8, as we needed to leave by 9. "Mom's making breakfast, but y'all have an hour to get ready." She told us.

I nodded, getting up and rummaged through my suitcase. I settled on a pair of turquoise shorts and a teal and grey PINK tank top. I went into the bathroom and quickly changed before coming back out. I pulled on my coral flower sandals, and brushed out my hair, and left it down. I kept my makeup light and went to breakfast, leaving Scarlett asleep.

After breakfast, I went back to the bedroom to change Scarlett and then changed her outfit, into a white long-sleeved onesie that had 'Nana. Mama. Auntie. Me. #SquadGoals on it with jean pants and a matching pow. I found a pair of socks and out those on her feet and then put the leopard print Sperry shoes on her.

I buckled her in her car seat and then carried her to the truck when it was time to leave. Emily sat in the back on the other side of Scarlett while Elodie sat in the middle in the front next to Davina and Helen. "Where did you want to go first?" Helen asked.

"Northgate Mall." Davina said. "Have to go to AT&T for upgrades and we have appointments at the JcPenny Salon."

Helen nodded. "Okay." We arrived just a few minutes later and parked in front of Barnes and Noble. We got out and I secured Scarlett in her stroller. We walked in the mall and followed Davina into the AT&T store. We spent around an hour in here because Davina got both of our phones upgraded, so we both got new phones and our numbers got changed. I had to switch over phone numbers and data to my new phone and texted my contacts to explain the number change. She had our numbers changed as a precaution. So once we did all that, and get phone cases and screen protectors, I placed my new phone in the diaper bag and we left the store.

Our next store was Payless shoes. I only found a couple pairs of boots on sale for myself. However, I did find Scarlett a couple pair of sandals and some booties here. I then checked out and waited for Davina, who was getting a pair of boots for Elodie.

Davina placed her bag on the mall stroller than Helen had rented just for this purpose. Leaving the shoe store, we made our way down to The Children's Place so Davina could get my sister's uniforms for school. I did find a few things for Scarlett though, like a couple sleepers and a bunting. After I made my purchases, I went to sit outside the door in the middle of the mall with Emily and Helen.

After a couple minutes, Emily excused herself to go to the Lane Bryant store. Davina was finished in The Children's Place around 20 minutes later and she and Helen wanted to go to Macy's, so I would them that I would meet them later, as I wanted to go to Bath and Body Works, and Elodie asked to come with me.

Emily met back up with me just before we entered the store. "Where's Davina and Helen?" She asked.

"Macy's. We're supposed to meet them at the food court when we leave here."

They finally had some of my favorite falls scents, and they had fragrance refills on sale, so I picked up 6 of them as well as a Wallflower plug. Some of the candles were on sale, which I got those and a spiced pumpkin cider butter and then headed to checkout. Emily had gotten much more than I did, and I was waiting on her after I checked out. Once she was finished, we made our way to the food court in front of Baskin Robbins where we were to meet Davina and Helen, whom were there waiting.

"What do you want?" Davina asked. "We still have time before our appointment."

"Um." I looked up at the menu. "Cotton candy in a cup."

"I want the same as sissy, but in a cone." My sister requested.

Davina nodded and looked over at Emily. "Blackberry hibiscus." She said. "Cup."

Davina gave a nod and went to order while Emily and I went to find a table. Our appointment was 30 minutes later. Davina told me and Elodie to go ahead first and get our hair done, since hers would take longer as she was getting a color. It didn't take but 15 minutes for my trim and Davina told me I could go ahead out into the store to look around for my school clothes.

Helen was going to wait on Elodie, so Emily came with me. We first went to the shoes where there was a sale, in which I found two Arizona branded sandals, basically getting two for less than the price of one. I also found a pair of teal and white Puma running shoes. Then moved onto the next section to get some underwear that they usually had on sale.

I followed Emily to the junior's section of the store where I got my jeans and some shorts. I tried them on to make sure that they fit. I didn't find too many shirts here, maybe around 7 including a few graphic tees. I finished the shopping trip with finding some pajamas.

We spent a total of two hours in the store because Davina had to get a bunch of stuff for Elodie here as well. Mostly clothing for her uniform that she couldn't find in the other store, as well as three different shoes that she would be able to wear with her uniform, plus a pair of boots that would stick within the dress code. And a couple pairs of tennis shoes. This kid has more shoes than I do. She took my items and her cart, before going to check out.

Our next stop was to Auntie Anne's pretzels to get something to drink, and the piercing/tattoo place so we could get Scarlett's ears pierced. She's the same age I was when my mom had got mine done. I picked a pair of earrings that had her birthstone and got them done. She didn't even cry. They gave me instructions for the aftercare, which I reviewed and stuck in the diaper bag, and we were on our way.

"What's next?" I asked.

"Victoria's Secret." Davina said. "I can meet you in Barnes and noble."

I gave a nod before heading that way. I browsed around the store and picked up a few books that I had been meaning to pick up to read. I had a gift card, not to mention that my aunt had took care of my membership card. I also picked up a couple books to read to Scarlett and helped Elodie pick out a few books for herself. We checked out and by that time, Davina was finished. "Okay, whose ready for lunch?" She asked.

Elodie raised her hand. "I'm about to starve." She complained dramatically.

Davina chuckled. "Alright. Let's get these bags back to the truck. Stanford's within walking distance." We walked back to the truck and put the bags in and I also put the stroller up, electing on carrying the car seat to the restaurant. Our hostess led us to a table, and I placed the car seat in an empty seat beside me. We took a few minutes to look over the menu and by the time the waitress came to get our drinks, we pretty much knew what we wanted.

"May I take your drink order?"

Helen nodded. "Yes." She said. "But I think we all also know what we want."

"Okay." She said. "Sure."

"For our appetizer, we would like to get the walnut crusted brie. And I would like the blackened ahi salad and a red diamond merlot."

The waitress nodded and looked to Davina after writing that down. "And I would like the southwest chicken chopped salad and a coke to drink, and she would like the kid's cheese French bread with seasonal fruit and mashed potatoes and an apple juice." She then looked to me.

"Um, the pepper bacon mac n' cheese with cinnamon apples and a strawberry lemonade."

"I also want a strawberry lemonade and a smoked chicken linguini with a house salad." Emily ordered after I did.

An hour later, our next mall was the Westfield South Center to go to the stores that the other mall did not have. "Alright, let's go to build-a-bear." Helen suggested, as the store wasn't too far off from the entrance that we went through. We went into the store and my sister chose a bunny promise pet, and my sister 'demanded' that I pick something, so I just chose a rainbow color crazed lion.

After leaving the store, we headed to my sister's favorite store, Justice. "Look sissy!" Elodie got my attention and pointed to something. "They have laced camis that you like."

"And they're cheap too." Davina said, looking at the stand. And you can wear their large size." I nodded as I browsed around there. I nodded and ended up getting a few of those. Davina ended up getting Elodie some pajamas, socks, school stuff and a few tops and jeans.

Once we left there, Davina, Helena and Elodie was leaving to see a movie at the AMC movies, and there was nothing playing that either Emily or I wanted to see, so we were just gonna shop around a bit. "Wanna go to Fruititude?" I asked her. "It's on level three."

"Sure." She nodded. "Sounds good." We headed for the elevator, due to the stroller, and made our way to Fruititude.

Once there I ordered an avocado smoothie and a coconut acai bowl and paid before Emily ordered, she had decided on the chocolate acai bowl and a Thai tea slush. I told her to put her drink in the extra cup holder on the stroller as we walked and ate. We went back down on the elevator to PINK. I threw my empty bowl in the trashcan beside the store and walked in. I found a couple of sports bras, a shirt, three hoodies and some body stuff. I checked out and waited for Emily. The next store that we decided to go to was the Disney store.

I found myself only one book here, but a few things for Scarlett, some onesies, a book and a little Minnie mouse. I also got a couple things for my sister for her birthday. We also went to the Lego store, where I picked up a little something for her birthday and got a card from Hallmark.

Our next and last place, was the Westwood Village. I didn't bother with the stroller this time and simply wore Scarlett in the carrier and walked to Sally's Beauty Supply. Davina got a cart, and I picked up a few things, mostly hair products for my hair type and other brands that I frequently used. Since I purchased a certain amount, I got a few boho tote, and used that to put my purchases in.

We walked to Ulta Beauty from there and got quite a few items, including makeup products. Since I bought an Ulta Beauty item of a certain price, I was able to receive a free 12 pc gift. After checkout, I waited on Davina whom was behind me.

We walked over to Marshalls so Davina could look around and get some things that she may need for work. The only thing that I really liked about this place was some of the linen spray and office supplies. I picked up a couple journals and placed them in Davina's cart and walked along behind her.

Once we were finished, or rather once Davina had found everything she wanted, Helen needed to go to Target, so that was our next stop. She had to get a few groceries, and some things to take on the trip with Elodie and for the days that they had her for this coming week. They had a Starbucks here, and I decided to get my supper from here as I wasn't that hungry. I got a violet drink and an egg and cheese protein box and got my sister a steamed apple juice and a PB&J box. Then we went back to the Holden's place, done for the day.
