Happy Fall!

I'm so sporadic about blogging! Recently I've been doing more blog reading, cooking, and pinning, which inspired me to blog again. I'm really going to try to do a blog every two weeks. That'll be my challenge for myself for fall.

Here's a list of some favorites!
-Everything pumpkin! Pumpkin spice creamer, cream cheese, pumpkin bread, carving pumpkins, decorating pumpkins, everything!

-Mulled cider candle from Walmart. It's cheap and it makes the whole house smell yummy. We get this candle every year about this time. It's not really fall without it!

-Curling wand. I usually don't do anything with my hair but just throw it up in a messy pony tail, but I've rediscovered the awesomeness of a curling wand! It's so quick and easy, and it totally transforms my look.

-Video games. I never thought I would say this, but I've really gotten into playing video games! At first, I just thought it would be something Dan and I could do together, since he loves it so much. But then I really got into it! I started with Assassin's Creed 2. Now I'm playing Pokemon. Really hoping we can get a PS3, or maybe a PS4 for Christmas.

-Organization! For some random reason last Saturday I was on Pinterest and started looking at organizing ideas. There are oh so many. And there are many places that need organization in my home! Last Sunday I got my clothes closet all cleaned and organized. I'll post some before and after pictures of the whole thing. I think next I'll do the coat closet.

-Cardio. I'm studying Anatomy and Physiology II this semester. We just finished a section on the cardiovascular system and I fell in love. I'm thinking I might try to be a Cardio-Thoracic Surgeon someday! We'll see how I feel after nursing school.

-Football! NFL, to be more specific. We spend the majority of our Sundays watching football. Go Niners!

Over the next 2 weeks I have a couple tests, organization projects, and my birthday! I'll post after my birthday with a followup on all of this. Have a good weekend!

  1. I'll have to try that candle! I think that's what's really missing from my fall festivities--scent. I've decorated Jesse's house from top to bottom in fun fall colors (leaves and pumpkins and gourds, oh my!), but I need a good fall smell in there to complete it! And I splurged the other day on a LARGE Dunkin Donuts iced Pumpkin Spice mocha thingy. Only 280 calories right?? (Sarcasm--I hate drinking my calories!). But it was DELISH.
    I definitely want to see pictures of your organization methods! I recently bought a plastic tote that is made to hold hanging file folders, and spent all night last night organizing every important piece of paper in my life. I love that feeling when it's done and everything is so nice and clean!
    Glad you're having a great fall season!!! We're off to a haunted corn maze tonight--it's an hour away, but there is a Groupon for $9 for two people! I think I'm more excited about the deal than the actual event, haha!

  2. To follow up, I bought that candle (and a pumpkin spice candle!). I'm burning the cider one right now, and it's AMAZING!! It was only $3.50 for a jar candle, and after 20 minutes the whole house smells incredible! Thanks for the tip. :)

  3. I'm glad you like it!! Our apartment is pretty small, so by just lighting one of them, it makes the whole place smell good! I found something on Pinterest called a simmer pot. This particular recipe is called Witches Brew. I bought all the stuff last week, and I'm going to give it a try tomorrow! I'll let you know how it goes :)
