Wow, it's been a whole year since my last blog post... I think it's about time I start this thing up again. I have learned so much in the past year it's pretty crazy and so much has changed! Here are some things I am loving right now.
Current Favorites
1. Essential Oils!
There is this store near my apartment and oddly enough another one by my work, called Penn Herb. They sell all kinds of natural supplements, herbs (whoa), spices, everything natural you can imagine. I picked up some essential oils to try in my little tea light diffuser and I'm hooked. I purchased Lavender, Lemon, & Lemongrass about a month ago and used them all up. So I went back to purchase large sizes of Lavender and Lemon. I love using the lemon oil on things in the kitchen that are stinky, trash, dishes, etc. And I like to burn the lavender in the evening to set a relaxing mood. I will definitely be getting more into these and trying more scents...
2. My American Eagle Sateen Jeggings
I am OBSESSED with these. I was in need of some black jeans and I went into American Eagle, and as usual, they did not disappoint. I found these black jeggings that are so stretchy, but in a good way! They are seriously comfortable and a really crisp dark black, I've gotten so many compliments on them it's crazy haha especially for black jeans! I think that says everything.
3. Mrs. Meyers Cleaning Products
Can you tell I went a little "natural" crazy? I was back at Penn Herb and needed some cleaning products. I've been looking into making my own with the essential oils above, but I figured I'd start by giving these ones a go. I picked up the lavender scent of the shower and tile cleaner, and then the every day cleaning spray. I pretty much use this on everything - I don't have any wood that I'm worried about ruining, so be careful of that. But it does the job and smells amazing, plus it's all natural ingredients! I'm most excited to finish them up, because then you just by the concentrated solution and dilute it with water and fill them up in the original spray bottle, so cool!
4. Estée Lalonde! And her book Bloom.
Can a person be a favorite? I don't know, but I have a favorite person I want to talk about and that is one of my favorite Youtubers, Estée Lalonde! I believe I started watching her channel this year and I feel like we're meant to be best friends. I love her style, her videos, and now her book, Bloom! I guess Bloom is a favorite too then. But if you enjoy the small things in life I think you will enjoy Estée. She is just so chill and cool and I love everything she does haha, she can do no wrong in my eyes. Plus her dog Reggie is so freaking cute! Big fan.
5. New Girl
I am re-watching and also catching up on New Girl on Netflix. I just love the show, it's a good laugh at the end of the day. I had watched it religiously when it first came out and then kind of forgot about it, but I'm so glad I've gotten back into it. I also just love Zooey Deschanel.
6. Jake Bugg
I got to FINALLY see one of my favorite musicians in September, Jake Bugg! I have been a fan for a while now and it seemed every time he was touring I missed it. I also had tickets a couple years ago and then the show was cancelled! What! But I finally got to go to his show here in Philly and I was in love the entire time. I wish he had played more songs from his first album, but I get it, you gotta pump up the new album songs. Love him.
That's all I have for now, hope you are enjoying your fall and I'd love to know your favorites below!
