**A Day at TJ Maxx: Hauling Home Unique Finds**
I decided to spend the day at TJ Maxx, one of my favorite stores for finding unique and affordable home decor items. As I walked through the doors, I was immediately drawn to a beautiful trash can in my bathroom. I had been forgetting about this need for a while, but now that I've purchased it, I couldn't imagine not having it.
"This is really pretty," I said to myself as I picked up the trash can. "I usually always buy my bathroom trash cans from Dollar Tree for $5 each also at HomeGoods." The price of the TJ Maxx trash can was $12.99, which was a steal compared to what I'm used to paying.
As I continued shopping, I found myself drawn to some black pillows that caught my eye. "I thought I might want to put these on the couch," I explained to no one in particular. These pillows were different from my usual pillow covers, which I had purchased from Amazon. Instead, they were full-on pillows with a thick and soft texture that I couldn't resist.
"I wanted to just get like dedicated black pillows that I didn't have to slip cover over basically these are so soft and thick," I said, holding up one of the pillows for inspection. They were indeed a pop of black on my couch, which I thought would be perfect for adding some contrast to my room.
Next, I decided to head into the Christmas section of TJ Maxx. The store was filled with all sorts of holiday decorations, and I couldn't resist picking up two wooden Christmas trees. "The biggest reason being that I thought they looked like iced cookies," I explained. "Can you kind of see it?" They had a red finish that reminded me of iced sugar cookies, although without the trim, it wasn't as clear.
"I thought that would be really cute way to incorporate a gingerbread element without it being a gingerbread man if that makes sense for my kitchen," I said, holding up one of the trees. I was considering placing them on either side of my stove, but ultimately decided against it. "I don't know if I'll do that I don't know if I'll pull these out or not," I admitted.
As I continued shopping, I came across a pair of earrings that caught my eye. "I'm really into like changing my jewelry a lot," I explained. "I'm finding myself that I'm wanting to wear a lot of jewelry but I don't have quite the pieces I would like to have." The price of the earrings was $19.99, which was a bit steeper than what I usually pay for similar items on Amazon.
"I really like these little earrings tooo they're like Huggies and I'm wearing my seconds again so I thought these in the first these in the second and I might even like get my thirds pierced," I said, admiring the earrings. The set was a good basic Hoops that I could have easily bought on Amazon for cheaper.
As I continued browsing, I stumbled upon some jade stone items at Dollar Tree. "I didn't realize I had dollar tree stuff in here that I forgot I have," I said with a laugh. There was a jade stone necklace, as well as some little tabs and a money clip. The price of the jade stone necklace was $7.99.
"I bought cuz I couldn't help myself," I explained, holding up the necklace. "I like the packaging I like the black kind of has that modern look but it also kind of has that like fresh Farmhouse look to it as well." Next to the necklace, there were some little soaps that smelled amazing. "Oh and it smells amazing," I said.
"I was definitely thinking of this for my guest bathroom but for summertime so I got that and then I got this little mug set no one's surprised," I said with a chuckle. The mug set was adorned with the phrase "boo all the way down," which seemed like a sweet touch to me.
Finally, as I was leaving TJ Maxx, I picked up an athletic style puppy vest in white for my furry friend Loki. "I love my vests so I love going for walks and you know all the things," I said with a smile. The price of the vest was $29.99.
That's it for today's haul! I hope you guys enjoyed seeing what I found at TJ Maxx, from trash cans to Christmas decorations to jewelry and more.
