Hey people! Thought I’d drop in here this fall week and share some stuffs. The things I am loving now…right this very second,
The fall is upon us which means I did this…
Seriously Bath and Body Works fall candles are my kryptonite. Annnd they basically all smell like food. What is WRONG with me?
And I’m equally obsessed with this Salted Caramel Hazelnut Spread from Jif. Which now I’m thinking needs it’s own candle. Ugh.
I’m piling it high on my ice cream.. and also de-healthifying rice cakes.
At least it’s pretty much sweats weather 🙂
As far as clothing goes I am IN LOVE with this cardigan…
It’s basically a blanket that you can wear. I am not kidding you guys. If there is one piece of cozy that you want to own this winter, this sweater is it. Mine is in midnight ombré, and it’s a lighter gray that goes to black. LOVE! It is super super soft and flowy. I wear it all the time.
Also, if we’re talking about being in love, I got the iPhone 6. Yep, I am annoying.
Also this. LOVE it. Ladies, read and reread.
And can we talk about this for a minute…I bookmarked that link back in the summer and have read and reread it. Seriously #8 y’all. NUMBER EIGHT!
Want this to be my fall uniform. Love.
Also, I am sorry universe for laughing at this, but I cantstopwontstop. OMG dying. Dude, we’ve all been there.
As for the book stuff…I am smack dab in the middle of nailing down all my recipes for the book…which means I’ve had some great successes…but also epic fails. Which have lead to this…
Yes. That is an entire cake in the trash. (Minus 2 pieces that had to be taste-tested).
I do have to say that I have had some mishaps with recipes…and throwing out a batch of cookies or brownies is one thing, but never have I experienced grief until the day that entire CAKES get tossed.
But for the most part it’s coming along.
Oh before I forget I wanted to ask you.. Pie Crust.. are you guys all butter? or part butter part shortening? I have been playing around with loads of recipes for the book and can’t decide which I like better. I like the IDEA of all butter better, but I think I like the taste of butter/shortening. Ugh. THOUGHTS?
Also loving THIS new line from Bumble for my hair…especially the primer.
It smells great, it doesn’t weigh my hair down AT ALL…and it conditions and protects before styling. I just love it.
And this lip gloss from MAC. The color is Got Style and you guys, it is THE perfect pink. I LOVE the look of a bold pink lip, but have found that on me it looks weird. Ugh. BUT this gloss, is SUCH a flattering pink that has good color but not enough that you look crazy.
I tried to take a selfie to show you, but the lighting was bad…
I promise you it’s gorg. Also, it’s not sticky like the usual MAC Lipglass..but it actually has staying power. Anyhow, I love it.
Also, these sunglasses…I am obsessed. I am THIS close to going back and getting them… will I regret?
So yeah, nothing too major is happening right now, but life is good.
Talk soon friends!

O.K. I am new to your site but love it. As far as the butter vs shortening, here is the scoop. Please at least try 3 parts butter to 1 part lard! Alton Brown’s favorite pie crust (www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/pie-crust-recipe.htm). It was delicious. Normally I am an all butter lady but this was very good.
Love, love, LOVE TheFatJewish on Instagram! Do you follow him too? He makes my day 🙂 Have a good one!
oh yes. it’s hilarious.
I am also in the lard pie crust camp, so I don’t think I can help with the butter/shortening decision. I think the flakiness is the most important thing. On another note, that sweater makes me want to curl up and hibernate in it. I think I need it.
BBW candles in the fall! I can’t stop. I think I have 9 Pumpkin Pecan Waffle candles in my candle closet (OK, so it’s really a section of my linen closet, but it’s growing bigger every year). I need to stock up so I can burn them all year. If it doesn’t smell like food, I don’t want it.
Love the sweater so I just bought it!!!
you are going to LOVE LOVE it. LIke never want to take it off and sleep it in love 🙂
