Friday Favorites | End of October

I can't believe October is over in a few days! Is anyone excited for Halloween? This is the first year we don't have any Halloween plans to dress up and go to parties, but we will pass out candy since we get a ton of trick or treaters in our neighborhood. I'll be sad to see October go, but I'm always excited for November because of Thanksgiving and the Holiday season that follows!

Today I'm sharing some Friday lifestyle favorites again this week, and I'm linking up with Amanda from Meet @ the Barre and Lauren from Style Elixir


Favorite on Netflix || I've been into re watching some of my favorite shows lately. I just finished 90210 for the second time, and now I'm re watching The Vampire Diaries. I haven't watched season 7, or the last half of season 6 yet. I figured I would start over from season 1 since its been a while and I didn't remember enough of what happened. I'm completely obsessed again, and its also a good show to watch this time of the year for fall/halloween!

Favorite Natural Product || My body has finally gotten use to wearing natural deodorant. It took quite a few times of trying and I'm happy that I can wear it now. I was having an issue of getting irritation from it, and I couldn't figure out if I was allergic to the deodorant or if it was part of the detoxing stage when you cut out all of the bad chemicals that are in regular deodorant. I had a lot of bumps, irritation, and rash under my arms and it was super painful. This took me 3-4 times of trying it, getting irritation at the irritation and switching back to my normal deodorant, and then back to the natural to get use to it. The kind I'm using is from the brand called Schmidt's and I have the Lavender Sage scent. It smells freaking amazing. I definitely want to try out more brands when I finish this one up. Anyone have any recommendations?

Favorite Recipe || I've been obsessed with making veggie lasagna. Its been a staple in our dinner routine for the past 3 weeks. Its so simple and easy to make too- boil your noodles, and while those are boiling cut up  your veggies, add them into a skillet with your pasta sauce and let it cook for a few minutes. I use zucchini, spinach, and mushrooms. When everything is done, add a little bit of sauce on the bottom of your baking dish, add the noodles, cottage cheese, the veggie and sauce mix, mozzarella cheese, more noodles and repeat. If you prefer meat in your lasagna, then you can replace the veggies for meat, or mix in the meat with the veggies. I can do a more detailed post on my recipe if you guys want to see it!
Favorite Project || We are currently redoing one of our bathrooms! When we moved into our house almost 5 years ago, we re modeled the whole thing, except for the bathrooms. Since we are building a house soon, its time to get the bathrooms done so they are more appealing for when we sell our house. We picked out paint and tile for the floor, and here is a sneak peak, but I will definitely share some before and after pictures when its all done!

Favorite Moment || We've been wanting to go to the apple orchard all this season, and we ended up going to a smaller one near our house last Saturday. We didn't pick apples or anything fancy, just bought some cider, donuts, goodies from their store. I wanted to do a full post on something like this, but since the one we went to was small and didn't have a crazy amount of stuff, I thought I'd just share on here. We bought some caramel apples, raw honey, and apple butter too.

Friday Favorites | End of August

Hello! Happy Weekend!

I was totally going to edit a 'what I eat in a day' video to go along with this post and combine a Friday Favorites and Foodie Friday but I had a super busy day yesterday and realized too late that I needed to do a voice over for the video. I'm kind of bummed, but I'll try to do it next week instead!

So I'll just be sharing some lifestyle favorites per usual today! 


Favorite Inspiration || Me and hubby have been looking at house plans like crazy for when we start building our house. I'm more interested in the decoration (LOL) and found a ton of things on Pinterest that I liked. I definitely want a bit of a bohemian vibe going on, but also a tad bit modern rustic. 

Favorite on YouTube || I found this super cute DIY planner video by Belinda Selene and I might try to make one. I admire cute planners and LOVE watching people to plan with me videos on YouTube! But since I'm currently not working, I'm not willing to spend he extra money on a planner and tons of sticker kits right now, especially since I have a bad habit of buying that stuff and not sticking with it after a month or so. So I might try to made one of these DIY planners instead! I'll definitely share my thoughts on it if I do. 

Favorite Purchase || You guys...I am wayyyy too obsessed with my Sand Cloud towel and purchases!! You're probably sick of hearing me talk about it and seeing all my posts LOL. I did a full post yesterday on my purchases and shared a ton of info about the company and which charities they work with! Check it out here if you haven't yet!

Favorite thing I'm looking forward to || I get super excited every August and September because the Renaissance Festival comes to Michigan at the end of August. We will probably go Labor Day weekend or the weekend after. We go every single year and dress up too. I did a post two or three years ago on my makeup and outfit, but I'm thinking about doing a get ready with my video sharing my makeup and costume. Let me know if that's somethings you'd like to see!! 


Favorite Quote || Last but not least, I'm sharing my favorite quote. I read this the other day and it's soooo me! I had to share! 

I hope you all have a great weekend! What are your plans?

Friday Favorites | Lifestyle

Happy Friday!

Today I'm sharing my Friday lifestyle favorites. Next week I'm going to test out a new blog schedule. I've been (trying) to post Monday-Friday with Tuesday's and Thursday's being video days. My schedule has been a little wonky since I got back from vacation and I've skipped a few days of blogging. It seems like Thursday's have low activity on my blog and YouTube, so I think I'll be uploading my videos on Mondays and Wednesday's instead, and saving my blog posts for Tuesday's, Thursday's (maybe), and Friday's. I want to keep Friday's for Friday favorites or Foodie Friday posts, but I might skip Thursday's. Let me know what you think!

Speaking of Thursdays- I posted a makeup tutorial yesterday, check it out here if you haven't already!

This week didn't have much going on for me, but it did fly by like always. Let's get into my favorites! 


Favorite Food || I have been obsessed with this new Mediterrian restaurant that opened up by my house a few months ago. We've gone a few times and I can't get enough of it. They bring you this amazing and fresh baked pita bread with hommus and this garlic cream sauce. I always order the falafel plate and a side of rice. They also have fresh juice ans smoothies too! So good! 

Favorite Purchase || I found these super cute Fall and Halloween salt and pepper shakers, and they were only $1 each!! I bought them to set out on my window sill in my kitchen for next month-November, but I doubt I'll actually use them for their purpose LOL! Is anyone else excited for Fall? I'll be sad to see summer go, but Fall is my favorite season and September and October are my favorite months. I love Fall decorations too!

Favorite on Netflix || Did anyone else use to watch Degrassi when they were younger? I loved that show so I was excited when Netflix came out with their own orginal series continuing the show with new characters. I'm watching season 2 right now. I don't think it's as good as the original series (seems a bit cheesy/Disney channel ish?) but I'm still enjoying it! I binged watched season 2 last night LOL. 

Favorite Creation || Everytime we go on vacation I made a sort of picture frame collage with photos, postcards, and little things from our vacation. I thought I'd share the ones I made from our California trip! We did so many things and went to so many places, it took me 5 pictures frames! Here's 4 of them that I made, the 5th one isn't as exciting or creative as these so I didn't take a photo of it. 

Favorite 'Me Time'/Personal || I made it a goal this year to start journaling as a way to get down my thoughts as a stress reliever, and also to just jot down memories so I can go back and read them later. I was doing super good at the beginning of the year and then kind of stopped. I was kind of mad that I stopped, but then I decided I didn't want to feel pressured to write in it either. Anyways- I started using my journal again because I wanted to write stuff down from our vacation so I could read it later and remember how wonderful it was!
