Fall is Failing Me!

Happy winter... I mean Fall!

Wouldn't believe it with how cold it's suddenly been.  The fall is definitely my favorite time of the year, and I feel like we are skipping right over all my cute fall jackets! :(

Regardless of what the weather is doing, I am still fully celebrating fall. I figured I would dedicate this post to all things fall. Fall decor, fall activities, fall clothing, fall makeup and fall cuteness! 

Side note, how many times do you think I can say the word fall in this post?

Let's start with the most beautiful fall wedding I attended in the middle of the month.  A friend from high school finally tied the knot in the loveliest way.  Everything about the wedding was genuine, full of love, and just beautiful.  The flowers and colors were the star in my opinion though.  They really embraced the fall and it was simply my favorite! 


And while are on the wedding, let's discuss makeup! Specifically the makeup I did for the wedding .  I wanted to do a smokey eye with a bit of sparkle.  My favorite part about a relatively neutral colored eye is that you can pair it with a nice bold red lipstick! I chose the Hank and Henry lipstick in the color Petal Pusher, previously seen in my Makeup Monday post.  The color was a perfect deep red for fall, and tied everything together. 


Let's move on to fall outfits! Surprisingly enough I have no over sized sweaters to share. Don't be fooled though, I have definitely bought my share of them for the season.  For the three outfits below I wanted to share something a little different.  The pink vest...I just could NOT resist, and the denim jacket has been a favorite of mine.  I can never do just a basic denim jacket.  It has to have some leather or sweatshirt involved to spice it up.  And then of course no fall outfit would be complete without a big fluffy scarf! 


Next up, fall activities!  This year we went to a pumpkin festival, and it was absolutely adorable. The list of activities included a corn maze,  rubber duck water races, hay bale obstacle course, pumpkin and sunflower picking, and apple cider donuts! (Obviously donuts.) As soon as we got home, we proceeded to carve pumpkins according to the outlines Jake drew for us. Once the pumpkins were carved and outside we treated ourselves to some apple cider donuts.  It was an adorable little "family" day. 



Last but not least, I will share my favorite fall decor find this year! I have decorated quite simply as I didn't want to go crazy my first year having a home to decorate.  But I did find plenty of small cute touches to make the house feel homey and warm! Below is my favorite area of the house, paired with some cinnamon donut muffins of course! 


And that's it! I still have some pumpkin flavored treats to make, but overall this year I have done all the cute basic fall things I wanted to do! 

I couldn't resist pointing out my use of the word fall through the whole post :P

Chicago- The Initiation

Hi Guys! I recently had my first work trip out to Chicago! Of course I did have some work things to do, but we did have a decent amount of time to explore and do some touristy things. Day 1 This trip I got to go out there with one of my teammates which was fun. We did some of things we felt you HAVE to do when you are in Chi Town.  Obviously the first thing we did after getting checked into our hotel was go find pizza! We went to Lou Malanati's and got these cute personal pizzas.  This was a butter crust filled with cheese, a layer of sausage and a layer of sauce! I'm partial to pizza from my area of the country (NY, NJ).  But for me you can't ever go wrong with extra carbs and cheese! After pizza we went to Cloud Gate, aka The Bean! I loved how the whole park was Chicago's version of Rockefeller Center.  There was an ice skating rink, and a big pine tree decorated with lights! Our last stop for the day was the top of the John Hancock building...
Hey internet, it's been a while.  Seems I blogged for the month October and only the month of October. Let me explain what happened... As you can see my posts were mainly about how I adopted iifym macro practice, and how well it was working for me. Honestly I had seen so much progress and success with this idea of eating for a while.  I thought I have finally gotten myself on a path I was happy and successful with. I thought I had finally beat the binging. Unfortunately that was not the case. In fact right when I stopped blogging is when my binging worked its way back to my life. Correlation? Yes.  How could one write positive messages and healthy eating support, when you are unhappy and can't even control your own eating?! For the months following October, I would eat and eat and eat until I felt sick.  I felt so sick sometimes I could have sworn I was going to die. Every morning I would wake up saying "yesterday was the last day."  So I would restrict al...

Date Weekend- New York City Edition

It's no secret in our household that NYC is our favorite place to be. Scott was raised there, and ever since I was young I have always loved it there.  Honestly it's where we talk about retiring to!  Strange right? So a few Friday's ago we got to drop the little man of the house off at grandma's, and we had a night out.  He saw Disney on ice, and we had a delicious dinner in Brooklyn! We decided to try out a restaurant called The Buttermilk Channel, and man it did NOT disappoint! Let's first start with the drink I had called the Lucha Vavoom, which was mezcal, tequila, honey, and lemon. Have you ever had an expensive drink that makes big promises and is basically a watered down alcoholic drink? Yeah... this was NOT that.  Off to a great start with that! We started our meal with a bacon appetizer.  House cured bacon with whiskey poached figs, and black garlic to be exact! It was between this and the cornbread...but we are bacon people.  ...
