Random Loves for October

Oh boy, I almost didn’t get this posted for the month of October! It is mind boggling how quickly this month has gone by. In between work, doctors appointments and health issues, then trying to find time to craft, this month has breezed on by. I can’t believe there’s less than two months until Christmas!

If you’re new to my blog, every so often {I try for once a month}, I do a feature where I post some of the things I’m loving at the moment. I figure if I’m loving something, chances are some of you might enjoy them as well.

It is no secret I enjoy reality tv shows. Add cooking to the mix and it’s almost a guarantee that I’ll like it. I enjoy Top Chef and I was so excited when I heard that Life After Top Chef was coming to air. I really like Richard Blais and Fabio is just too funny. I love seeing what goes in their real life and how their restaurants are started and the things that go behind-the-scenes.

It was bound to happen……I have officially purchased my first pair of rain boots. You would think since I live in Seattle, I would have gotten some years ago. I’ll be honest, I have never been a fan of them, but recently with the cute styles and the CRAZY rain, I just couldn’t resist any longer. This turquoise color is so happy, I can’t help but smile everytime I look down.

With the sickness bug floating about, I’m all about anti-bacterial soaps. I simply love the smells at Bath & Body Works- they are goodness in a bottle! While I was looking these up, I noticed that they have a BUNCH of new scents in. I can’t wait to go and smell them! I particularly want to smell Creamy Pumpkin, Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin, Winter Cranberry & Iced Gingerbread. Yay for yummy seasonal scents!

Since the health bills have been coming in steadily, I’ve been doing my best to cut back on Starbucks. Recently I’ve gone to a new alternative- making my own chai drinks at home! It’s great for the colder weather, but you can also have it iced. It’s easily accessible at the stores {in the tea section} and is fairly inexpensive.

I always love seeing what others are enjoying. What are a few of YOUR favorite things at the moment? It can be drinks, shows, movies, etc…. it just might introduce me (and others) to some new things!

Random Loves for September

Hello, blog friends!

It’s been a little while since I did my last Random Loves post, so I thought I would do one. I always have a hard time deciding what to feature, but I finally narrowed it down to my four absolute favorite things at the moment.

Let’s get started!

I’m so excited that the Salted Carmel Mocha is back at Starbucks! Before, I was a fan of the Pumpkin Spice Latte, but that has gone by the wayside now. Hand me a nonfat SCM with no whip and extra carmel, and I’m one happy girl. :)

It’s not a secret, music is a huge part of my life. Whether I’m in the car, on the computer at work, at the gym, I’m almost guaranteed to be listening to something. Recently, my “sister” (who isn’t a biological sister, but our families grew up together, so we are SUPER close), introduced me to Spotify. I had tried it before, but couldn’t figure it out. Now that she showed me how to use it properly, I’m addicted.

With Autumn right around the corner, I couldn’t resist going for a warm color when I got my nails done. Between the boots, scarves, new nail polish color and starting to get hot Starbucks drinks (see above), I’m getting in the mode for the cooler months!

Have you heard of food trucks before? I’m a teensy bit obsessed with them. Last month, I went to an event where there were 10 different trucks and I was so intrigued at all the different systems and kinds of foods. This show brings together my love of food trucks and reality tv.

I’ll be back in a little bit with the 10 Minute Craft Dash #2 Highlights.

Random Loves for July

Good morning!

A couple months ago, I did my first Random Loves post. I had meant to make it a once a month feature and somehow it got overlooked in June. Oops! Anyways, I’m back today with what I’m currently loving. Ready? Let’s go!

With Summer here, this drink is quickly becoming a favorite. It actually keeps me up more than coffee does AND it is low in calories and delish. Be sure to keep your eye out for specials on this drink- you can get them for a pretty low price!

Kira’s blog has quickly become a favorite of mine. I love the variety her blog brings and her blogging tutorials are AMAZING. If you ever need to spruce up your blog, or need tips on blogging in general, you’ll definitely want to check out the link above. (Easy-to-follow instructions from a blogging pro!)

For my birthday, my sister got me one of the best gifts ever. Since she knows I’m a lover of all things sparkly and am always using my iPhone, she got me the best case ever. When I opened it, I literally squealed with delight. To some it may seem over-the-top, but I love it to pieces.

This picture combines two things that I’m currently loving. I absolutely adore the hot pink dress/ aqua earrings combo. I am on the search for both of these items, so if you see them at good prices…. :) I also am a reality tv junkie. The season of The Bachelorette was awesome. Emily has definitely been my favorite bachelorette and her outfits this season were completely fab.

Thanks for stopping by, I’ll see you all soon!
