10 Fall recipes that I hope to be able to try this season!

Julee, an amazing author of a unique children's Christmas adventure is about to come out with her third book to The South Pole Santa Series. I've been gifted with the ability to have a sneak peek to the book and it's not even hard for me to say it's the best one yet! So excited to have the real deal in my hands. 

Have you seen the trailer for the new season of American Horror Story: Freakshow? Me OH my, I am beyond excited about this season and it's totally normal that I'm counting down the minutes no seconds until Wednesday. 

Loving this hat. Perfect for Fall, but I can't decide whether I should get it in red or the black.Oh the decisions. Which do you like best? 

5 Ways I Will Be A Different School Mom This Year. What a great read! It's funny because even though I'm a mother to only a first grader and I don't really plan on having multiple children like the mom who wrote this article it's still five really great things to think about and I agree with all of them. 

10 Ways To Write Blog Post Titles. Interesting! 

Life Rewards the Curious. So very true and I aim to live my life with this in mind. 

The year is almost over. Wait. WHAT? Although the year is coming to an end for me is an exciting thought, since it marks the completion of my time in beauty school, it also gives me a slight panic attack. What do you still wish to do with the rest of your year? Some good things to think about over here. 

This new-to-me food blog that has me spending hours on! 

Behold, every horror movie on TV this October. NO, I'm not joking! 

And last but not least, I had to share this beautiful video of a Cooper hearing his mother's voice for the first time. I teared up to his reaction. 

Also remember to be you. 

on summer swoonage...

1//2//3//4//5//6

Summer here in Philadelphia is not my thing. I can either be really good at it or really bad at it. Last year I feel like I was really good at it. I enjoyed it actually. This year not so much. I guess I'm just not in the mood for sweating all the damn time. For me though, sometimes having the right summery things will make the time pass better so I came up with some of my current summer swoons. 
Lately I've been living off of iced or hot chai tea lattes. Being a barista I get to have chai all the time but secretively I prefer Oregon Chai over my own chai at the coffee shop. Don't tell anyone. Also I don't know about you but nail polish can brighten my spirits and so I picked a new color up yesterday, a mixture of a coral and tangerine, perfect for Summer!

What are you loving this Summer?

on some swoonage...

happy friday! today i wanted to share a round up on of all the things i've been swooning over lately. it's super fun to browse around the web or coming across something you love. i have a folder on the computer just for the things i come across. neat whatever-it-may-be's. 

1// i am in need of a new camera bag and it think this one is the perfect for me. 2// i've always wanted to get my own espresso machine for home. although latte drinks aren't my go-to drink since i'm more of a simple coffee & tea kind of gal, i still would be nice to have this in my home. eventually that is, because right now counter space is very limited! 3// I don't know about you but winter really kills my lips and i'm currently head over heels for nivea's new chap sticks. olive oil is my favorite. it has such a pleasant scent to it and it does wonders for my lips. these were in my christmas stocking! 4// this perfect mug that i must have very soon. 5// this hello apparel shirt. 6// turquoise ring 7// another something that i've been seeing around the blogs i read, this fun green turntable.

What are you swooning over lately?

xoxo.
