The Autumn Tag

1. Okay, we're talking coffee. What is your favourite seasonal drink from Starbucks/Costa/Cafe Nero?

I hate Starbucks nor do I drink coffee. 

2. Accessories - What do you opt for - boots, scarf, gloves?

Scarves. I do wear Uggs, but I hate them. They feel like moon boots; but I wear them because I take public transportation and NYC winters can be brutal. 

3. Music - What do you love to listen to during the Autumn?

I pretty much keep the same playlist, but I'm always looking for new music. Lately I've been listening to Swedish artist Tove Lo. 

4. Perfume - what's your favorite scent at this time of the year?

I don't wear perfume much. If I do it's from Bath and Body Works and it's a nice autumn scent,  like apple or something. 

5. Candles - which scents will you be burning this season?

Omg, I love candles! Right now I have a Pumpkin Spice and an Apple  candle out. 

  

6. What do you love most about Autumn?

Everything! The scents, food, leaves, colors, Halloween, etc.

7. Favorite make up look?

I hardly wear makeup. 

8. What are you looking forward to most during this season?

Halloween. I'm planning a Halloween party for October 24th with my therapist. It's for her, me, and her clients.  I can't wait! It helps that I'm being certified in event planning and I'm glad she asked me to help.

This week: 

opening, bookmarking, wearing, trying, listening, and going

I'm currently opening, well re-opening, my Etsy shop and making crafts for my shop, Sundresses and Songbirds. 

I'm currently bookmarking a ton of recipes and crafts on Pinterest. I'm always saving things on there and forgetting about them. 

I'm currently wearing a purple short sleeve t-shirt and gray shorts. 

I'm currently trying to do the 21 Day Project, where for 21 days you commit to a certain task; like exercising, reading, crafting, dieting, etc. 

I'm currently listening to music. Nothing in particular; lately nothing has really caught my attention. I haven't found any new music, I've listening to top 40, and just flipping through the songs. Which is unlike me. I used to find new music everyday and listen to underground music. 

I'm currently going nuts trying to find a job.

What If I Won The Lotto

If I won the lottery, I would travel the world. I'd go to all the states, England, Ireland, Spain, Italy, France, Poland, Germany, Sweden, Dominican Republic, Australia, Canada....I think you get the picture. 

I would also move out of my parents house and buy a house for Jose and I. Maybe if it's enough money, I'd quit my job. I'd give some money to my parents to help them and some to my future mother in law. 

I'd buy a dog, new clothes, a car, and anything else that caught my eye. I would also use it to pay for my wedding. 

I'd go to culinary school and give money to Jose to go back and pay off his debts. Maybe I'd even start my own bakery or restaurant.

Gosh! There so many things I would do, I can't even think of them all! I did the win the lottery once, though. Not a lot, just $10; but it was on my birthday and I was pretty happy.

THIS WEEKS THEMES:

watching, learning, considering, needing, changing

I'm currently watching a food show on Travel channel. They're showing so many delicious and yummy looking sandwiches. I'm a foodie and I watch a lot of cooking/food shows. Plus, I do want to go to culinary school next year. I can't wait; food is my life! 

I'm currently loving the autumn. My favorite holiday, Halloween, is coming up and it's pumpkin-cozy-comfort food season. All those yummy smelling fragrances, beautiful colors, cinnamon, clover, nutmeg, Thanksgiving, scary movies, cardigans, etc. I love autumn! Since, I live in NY I practically live in jeans, boots, sweaters, and jackets. We only get like 3-4 months of warm weather and then it's cool weather the rest of the year. 

I'm currently considering going to culinary school earlier than planned. Also, I'm considering getting a small tattoo.  

I'm currently learning to loosen up more. I'm very serious and rigid.I try to loosen up and fun when I'm out but it's difficult for me. 

I'm currently needing sleep, a job, freedom from my parents house, a vacation, new clothes, and more books. 

I'm currently changing my wardrobe from summer clothes to fall/winter.

THIS WEEKS THEMES:

falling, wearing, making, smiling, learning

I'm currently falling behind on everything; blog posts, crafts, my etsy shop, letter writing, etc. You name it, I've fallen behind on it. I have to admit, I've gotten lazy ever since last May when I graduated college. It's like my normal routine and my brain just shut off and all I want to do is relax and sit around. When will I snap out of it?

I'm currently wearing lounge shorts and a t-shirt. Oh, and a boho bracelet. 

I'm currently making lunch more often for my fiance and I. The other day I made baked sweet and sour chicken. It was so fudging good.And yesterday I made BBQ chicken cornbread pie. It was really good. 

I'm currently smiling at my fiance's jokes. He makes me laugh all the time! 

I'm currently learning that life is short; enjoy it and live freely. I'm also learning how to network and market my Jamberry Nails business.

THIS WEEKS THEMES:

craving, cleaning, daydreaming, growing, reading 

I'm currently craving food of all sorts. This year all I want to do is eat. My love of food has grown immensely, which I guess is because I'm going out more with Jose, so I'm trying new foods. Plus, I want to go to culinary school and I've been cooking more.  

I'm currently cleaning my room....slowly. Ok, I admit I haven't kept up with it and I also admit I'm not the best cleaner. But I do it eventually, so that counts right? 

I'm currently daydreaming of autumn! I can't wait for the crisp weather, the leaves changing, the pumpkins, the decor, Halloween, and everything in between. It's funny, back in May and June, I was raving about how I couldn't wait for the summer. I love both seasons, so I'm happy until December. 

I'm currently growing sunflowers, trying to grow tomatoes, strawberries, and an avocado tree. 

I'm currently reading Alphabet Weekends by Elizabeth Noble. It's such a good book! At first I was iffy on it, but I continued it and it's turning out to be really good. It's about 3 different couples; Natalie and Tom, who play a game where they do these different activities that start with the each letter of the alphabet. Lucy and Patrick; Patrick loses his job and Lucy gets fed up with him and starts cheating on him and Anna and Nicholas, Natalie's parents. Anna has depression and Nicholas gets a stroke. I definitely recommend it! Maybe I should start a book series on here? 

I know I've been quiet, I honestly try to keep up with this blog nowadays, but truthfully I have no motivation and I get distracted really easily. Like, I'll start one project, put it down, start something new, and never finish the first one.
