Things I Love September

IT'S OCTOBER Y'ALL! Finally!

It still doesn't feel like October here, though. Today's high is 94. My walk to work is ten minutes and every single day I find myself wishing I could make the walk without sweating.

BUT fall is coming, and the weather people say it's coming next week. Fingers crossed.

Okay, so here's my things I love September!

Fall decor! | Despite the fact that it doesn't look or feel like fall outside, I still have to put up some fall decor! I don't have a ton, but there are now pumpkins in every room (the small ones have finally been placed strategically so the cat won't knock them off various shelves and such), my favorite "give thanks" sign that my bestie Rachel made years ago, and a leaf garland I made out of book pages last year. Now I need to get a cozy blanket and pillows for the living room.

This photo is four years old--I didn't feel like taking a new photo, ha! But I still love to put this fox by my Give Thanks sign!

Fall diffuser blends | I promise this whole list isn't just stuff with the word "fall" in front. But I did get some new essential oils to make fall blends with! (Cinnamon bark, nutmeg, clove bud, more "Thieves" and bergamot...) My new fave is Young Living's Stress Away (I make my own blend that is similar), cinnamon bark, and nutmeg. I've got it diffusing right now and it smells divine!

Wireless earbuds | I've been listening to audiobooks a lot lately but the cord for my earbuds often gets in the way when I'm doing housework or shelving books at work. So I decided to look at wireless earbuds, but the Airpods are like $200!! I found these on Amazon for $45 that have the same look as Airpods--they're sleek and white. They charge in the case when you aren't wearing them. I've absolutely loved using them! Five stars for sure.

Streetside Market | Casey and I are loving this new restaurant downtown! It's multiple restaurants in one, so there's Chinese, seafood, pasta and pizza, sandwiches, and BEIGNETS. There's something for everyone! We've been several times and our fave thing is the pizza. This place is always packed!

Bohin Wrist Pincushion | Another Amazon purchase! When I started sewing, I picked up a little wrist pin cushion at Hobby Lobby for like $2. While I loved storing my pins on my wrist, the pin cushion was poorly designed and the pins would go all the way through and poke my skin. I saw this pin cushion on the wrists of several sewists I follow and decided to get it. I love the look of it! It's a little big for me (I have really tiny wrists), but I push it up my arm a bit and it works like a gem.
