Plaid on Plaid

Plaid on Plaid

One of my favorite things about the fall is plaid. When I think of plaid, I immediately think of bonfires, leaves, crisp weather, and flannels. However, flannels aren't the only way I like to style plaid. I love wearing it as an accessory, such as in a headband, watch, or shoes. It is the perfect way to add a pop of color to a neutral outfit, and also makes you think of bonfires and crisp weather all day long. 

Bake With Me: Creamy Hot Apple Cider

Here is a delicious recipe for creamy hot apple cider, aka, the only thing I drink in the fall.

In a microwaveable container mix together the Mott's Apple Juice, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice and vanilla. Microwave for 2 minutes or until HOT.

Fall Morning Routine

My Morning Routine for School

6:00-Ding Ding Ding goes the lovely sound of my alarm clock. At this time I usually think, "Okay I'll get up," but it usually doesn't happen for about 5 more minutes.

6:05-Now, I officially get up. I like to start my day first thing with stretches and some crunches; this will usually take me around 6-7 minutes

6:11-I head into the bathroom to wash my face, brush my teeth, straighten my hair and do my makeup. My everyday makeup usually includes:

6:25-After I'm finished in the bathroom, I head back into my room to put on an outfit for the day (this one takes me about 5 minutes because I pick out my outfits the night before.)

6:30-Time for breakfast! I head downstairs to make myself my favorite meal of the day. For breakfast, I'll usually either have some oatmeal or my homemade pumpkin bread. Keep an eye out for a pumpkin bread recipe coming soon!

6:45-6:50-I usually use this time to get my backpack together, check some social media such as Instagram, Snapchat, and Twitter, or spend some time with my doggie, Lulu, before I leave for school.

6:50-I leave my house and head off to school for the day!

{Bean} there, done that

"I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers," as I say during the first week of the month. October is finally here and I couldn't be more excited. I can finally where my bean boots and vests without sweating. 

So lets get ready to jump into this fall post, enjoy :)
