Fall Edition!Wait, is it December already? Seriously!?! Wow, this fall certainly seemed to fly by, and I'm still a bit in shock that my Christmas decorations are already displayed. Oh, well, for now I'll hold the holidays at bay and share what I recently enjoyed while the leaves turned so beautifully. Hopefully you'll find something you might like, too!
(1) I'm ashamed to say it had been years since I'd last had a pistachio, but for some reason I grabbed a bag off the shelf at Wal-Mart. After convincing both kids that it was perfectly okay to eat green nuts, we all became addicted! A perfect snack!
(2) As a high school teacher, I had a front-row seat for that recent feather-extension trend, and although I decided I was a bit too old to enjoy it, I was amused when Ava came home from kindergarten and announced that she wanted one. A turquoise feather in her sweet tresses? Adorable!
(3) Awhile back, I received a free sample of Revlon Crazy Shine nail buffer in one of my magazines. Since I rarely have polish on my fingernails (as a busy mom, it usually comes off immediately after doing dishes and giving baths), I decided to give it a try. The green side buffs, while the white side provides a professional-looking shine. Going into my first attempt, I didn't have much hope, but I was absolutely thrilled with the result. I've used the same buffer several times so far, and it still works like a charm!
(4) Okay, so I totally stole this Urban Outfitters beanie from another blog (can't remember which one!), but I like it because it has a cotton lining that keeps the head from being too warm or too scratchy. Perfect for both fall and winter temperatures.
(5) Since I gave my fingernails some love with the buffer, I didn't want to leave my tootsers out either. I found this Essie Turquoise and Caicos color at CVS, and I loved it. True, it's probably more of a summer color, but it paired perfectly with warm fall colors. Plus, it even goes with some of my Christmas outfits. Also? It's pretty.
(6) Nutcrackers are more of a winter item, but since I start thinking about the holidays during the fall, I decided to include this whimsical Shakespeare nutcracker. For years, I've collected nutcrackers, and he has to be one of my favorites. Plus, I can display him in my classroom after the holidays when we read Romeo and Juliet. (Insert clever Shakespearen quote here; I'm home sick with the kiddos and am running on little sleep, so my brain is a bit slow today.)
