Currently: October 2015

October has been a FULL month. Full of so many exciting and memorable moments… Much better than September, and I found so many new things to share with y’all this month. So, let’s chat about what’s going on Currently!

CURRENT READS:

This month, I decided to take on an audiobook. A huge fan of Elizabeth Gilbert, she joined me for my commute for about a week or so this month.

I needed Big Magic this month, both literally and figuratively. And, hearing Liz’s familiar voice telling me to battle through fear was JUST what the doctor ordered.

I also read Barefoot by Elin Hilderbrand, and once again fell completely in love with her characters.

CURRENT JAM:

Unless you’ve been hanging out under a rock somewhere, this is likely your jam as well.

It’s been YEARS since Adele released new music, and I love her haunting voice… and the way she makes you feel all the feels. Yep, I pre-ordered 25 as well. Welcome back, Adele!

CURRENT FASHION PICKS:

The weather has officially gotten cooler here in Colorado. Days are mostly warm… but the nights and mornings are chilly. So this means, no more sundresses. Much to my sadness…

I’m loving the warm pieces that come with fall – – the dusters, the plaid, the wooly sweaters… here’s a few looks I’m loving.

What I’m not loving: Wearing socks.

CURRENT RANDOM FOOD FIND:

I love these green beans. In a completely head over heels kind of way…

CURRENT NAIL COLOR:

I got a pedicure on Sunday, and officially painted my toes a dark color. This to me seals the deal… summer is over. I’m back to my favorite fall color “Power Clutch” by Essie. It’s a bit of a greenish-grey color and is gorgeous!

CURRENT HAIR COLOR:

I officially changed my hair color this month… losing the super blonde (for me!) ombre. I toned it down to this gorgeous caramel color. I love my stylist.

CURRENT HAIR PRODUCT OBSESSION:

Speaking of hair, I found two amazing products this month that I have to share.

It’s a 10 – This leave-in conditioner came in my last PopSugar Must Have box (if you haven’t subscribed yet, you should!) I have fuzzy, fine hair that goes through a lot from all the heat-styling I do. This product makes my hair smooth, silky, and soft… I love it!

Pureology Levitation Mist – My fine hair, it tends to lay flat. I use a lot of teasing and dry shampoo to pump it up… until I found this stuff! You spray it at the roots when wet, and magic happens! It adds so much volume, that lasts all day. So happy to have found it!

CURRENT GO-TO SNACK:

My new friends at Alouette sent me a full suite of their Le Petit Fromage cheeses to sample… and, YOU GUYS, these are so good! I like them with carrots or 34 degrees crisps.

They come in Parmesan Basil (my fave!), Garden Salsa, Cucumber Dill, and Garlic and Herb. Try them!!

CURRENT MOVIE:

I hesitated in renting this movie. The past few Nicholas Sparks movies have been a little cheesy for me… and I was worried it would be more of the same. Um, I couldn’t have been more wrong. This movie was AWESOME.

I loved this movie completely, and may need to buy it to add it to my movie collection… that good.

CURRENT ADVENTURE:

I’m heading into Chicago this weekend early before a work trip. While I’m excited to learn more about some of our new products next week, I’m thrilled to get to spend time with a dear friend from college and one awesome mama I know who could use some girl time before the conference gets started!
