Friday Favorites | Hello September

Happy September everyone! I was so excited yesterday because my favorite month of the year is here, and that also means Fall is on the way. I can't wait for all things  My mind is still in summer mode, which is normal for me until Labor Day is over or until the middle of September, but I can't freaking wait. I want cooler weather, I want boots and sweaters, I want the leaves to change colors and fall, I want to go to apple orchards. And PSLs, I'm coming for you. 

All things Fall talk aside, let's get into my Friday Favorites. I'm linking up with Amanda from Meet @ the Barre  and Lauren from Style Elixir  this week! 

I really have been up to much, other than playing the new World of Warcfrat expansion all week. It came out Monday night (technically it was Tuesday at 3 am) and I stayed up till 10am playing (LOL, I'm crazy?). That's honesty all I've been doing, but I will spare you all the nerd talk, and tell you about my lifestyle favorites that I've managed to find time for. 

Favorite Fitness || Last week I started doing yoga again and ahhh did it feel good. Me and hubby have made a pack to start eating better again (I know I've said this a thousand times, but for real) and I've wanted to start doing yoga every morning to start my day off with. Since its been a while, I decided to do Yoga with Adriene's 30 days of yoga to get back into it. I've done some of these videos already but I've never completed the whole thing. 

Favorite Fashion Inspo || I was on Pinterest and was looking at cute outfits that were a little Fall-ish and I fell in life with a few of them. My style is pretty basic and I loved the way these were super simple but still stylish! 

Favorite Essentail Oil || I've been loving Frankincense. It smells amazing and so good for so many things. It's great to diffuse, and it's also works amazing for skin care. I've mixed it in with my coconut oil at night time a few times and it was super nice. It's also a great oils to use for stress and anxiety since its mood lifting and suppose to balance emotions. I like to rub it on my wrists and forehead while I'm doing yoga. 

Favorite Food || I made this awesome taco chili the other day and it was sooo soo good and so easy to make. All I did was take a pot and add a can of black beans, pinto beans, refried beans, a can of tomato sauce, a little bit of veggie broth, and chopped up green pepper, and two cans of green chilies. After it was done I added some green onions and served it over some white rice. It was so easy to make and can totally be changed to anyone's preference. You can add taco meat or chicken, leave of some of the beans if you don't that many, add cheese, a can of tomatoes, etc. The refried beans do make it super creamy though, and depending on how thick you like your chili then play around with the amount of veggie broth you put it. This could totally be made in a crock pot too!

Favorite Quote || I shared this one on my Instagram a few weeks ago but I really love it!

I hope everyone has a great Labor Day

 Weekend? Do you have any plans? What are your lifestyle favorites this week? Let me know in the comments! 

Friday Favorites | Goodbye May

Today is the last Friday of May, and in less than a week we will be into June already!

Today I'm doing another Friday Favorites post, and I'm sharing some more lifestyle favorites again. I had a ton of fun doing my first one last week, and I'm planning to continue doing these, maybe not every week but pretty often.  I hope you all enjoy them! It's a nice change from my usual beauty posts and it's something I think I'll look forward to each week. 

Rambles aside, lets chit chat about some of my favorites this week! 

Favorite Purchase || I was in Forever21 looking for a dress for my cousins wedding that's in August. I came across this cute elephant dress and knew I had to have it. It was only $10 too! The wedding is pretty casual, so I might wear this one but I haven't decided yet (I bought two dresses, oops!). I really just bought this because I LOVE elephants, so I know I'll wear it this summer regardless. 

I used the photos from Forever21's website since I haven't worn it yet and don't have any photos of myself in the dress. I know this dress looks super short in length, but I am ridiclously short, so it's not quite as short on me as the model. 

Favorite Coffee Drink || If you know me at all, then you know I'm a coffee fiend and most of the time you can find me with sugar filled latte from Starbucks or Panera. It's a bad habit and gulity pleasure, but it's also my treat to myself. I have been getting a Toffee Nut Mocha from Starbucks lately and it's been my go to drink when I go there! So it's not too sweet, I usually as for half the syrups in it. 

Favorite Quote || I love nothing more than finding a quote that I feel relates to my life at the moment. When I do, I sometimes just sit there in 'wow' and ponder, and think the quote was made for me LOL!

Number 1, 2, and 5 really spoke to me when I read this. 

Favorite Moment || On Sunday my husband and I took a trip out to the piece of property we bought that we are going to build a house on next year. He had built a fire pit there last month and Sunday just the two of us went there and hung out. We bought some camping chairs so we could sit and relax and just enjoy nature. It was nice. 

Favorite Memory || Does anyone else on Facebook get excited each day when you get to see memories and things you posted in the past each day? All last week and the beginning of this week I've had notifications from past memories of photos I took on me and my husbands honeymoon three years ago. We went to Florida and visited Disney world, and also went to the Harry Potter park which was amazing. I got excited looking at all the photos I took again, and totally wished I was back on vacation!

Here's one that I took of us in Universal Studios (possibly islands of adventure part of it, I can't remember!) look how blonde my hair was! 

I hope you guys have a great Memorial Day weekend! I will be away for the weekend and I'll be back to blogging and social media on Tueaday!
