Ahhh, Autumn

As a child, autumn was always my least favourite season―the colder air a depressing sign of the long, chilling winters soon to come; the fallen leaves a cruel reminder that nothing lasts forever.

Now, however, I would say it is one of my favourite seasons. What changed? To be honest, I have no idea, but I’m happy that it did. There is so much to love about fall: sweater/boots/leggings weather, pumpkin spice lattes, cozy pajamas, soft blankets, cuddling up on a chilly day, apple picking, pumpkins, and of course, Thanksgiving and Halloween!

To celebrate the coming of autumn, I will be dedicating a bunch of blog posts to this spooky, cozy season with yummy and easy fall recipes, do-it-yourself fall craft ideas, and fun activities to do during the fall season!

Make sure to follow my blog to be notified when these fall posts are published! 

A little FYI . . . This September, I started university for English Literature & Creative Writing (whoop-whoop!) while still working every day. Thus, I have been extremely busy and have not had a lot of time to make new posts. Heck, I haven’t even had time to think. But through this stressful, busy period of my life, I still hope to keep up with blogging as it is one of my greatest passions! Thank you for your continuous support.

Summer Hauls and More

summer-clothing-haul

You know, I’ve never really understood of the point in making videos of hauls and stuff, but then I started watching them and it grew on me. Not only are they fun to watch, but it’s also almost like watching a commercial for all the stuff you’re interested in along with a review by someone who’s not an actress. Therefore, I figured since I do that YouTube thing now, it’d be cool to make some of my own.

Here are some of the brands featured in my summer clothing haul and make up video:

STORES/BRANDS FEATURED:
♡ American Eagle by Payless ♡
♡ Bella Marie by Kozmo ♡
♡ Stitches ♡
♡ Ardène ♡
♡ Reitmans ♡
♡ Bluenotes ♡
♡ Maybelline New York ♡
♡ Hard Candy ♡
♡ Still Spa Essentials ♡
♡ Wal-Mart ♡
♡ The Body Shop ♡

And then here are the brands featured in my home-made cosmetic video:

 COMPANIES FEATURED:
http://www.traceyscreativecandles.com
http://www.smellthesoap.com
http://www.BeachBabybb.com
http://www.gourmetlollipops.ca

All in all, the stuff that I had purchased was relatively cheap and pretty awesome.Things included cool new sparkly liquid eye-shadow, mascara, patterned high waisted shorts, cute summer dresses, and adorable shoes. Here’s the videos to watch:

A Thank You Note To Coffee

Dear Coffee:

Thank you for always being delicious. Thanks for always brightening my mood. Thanks for coming in many different flavours and types. Thank you for making me more perky in the morning, and more lively at night. Thank you for helping me with homework, while writing my book, and even while writing this blog. Thanks for being at a Starbucks so close to my house. Thank you for being a caramel, hazelnut, mocha, and salted caramel mocha frappucino. Oh, and thanks for being an iced cap at Tim Hortons. And that occasional double-double during cold days. Thanks for warming me up in the winter; thanks for cooling me down in the summer. Hey, thank you for being there even in spring and fall! I don’t care if you’re $1, or if you’re over $5. I will buy you Coffee, because we are meant to be together. Thanks for always looking pretty, and thanks for always bringing a smile onto my face. Thanks for giving me a nice place to sit down with friends to laugh while you’re there with us, making the times grow even better. Thank you for making me happy and never disappointing me. Even when you’re not in your best state, you still give me a little boost. Thanks for being all sorts of things . . . Bitter, sweet, salty. Coffee, even your plain self is delightful and I wouldn’t want it any other way. I love you Coffee in all of your forms! I couldn’t go a single day without your presence!

THANK YOU COFFEE!

Love,

September—Fall, Halloween, Food, Seasonal Clothes Shopping, Etc

tumblr_nba2ylxebO1rufs31o1_500

Listed above are only several of the things I love the most about the fall season. And there’s school, of course, although that may not be as cheerful for some. I hope you’re all doing great in whatever it is that you are pursing right now, whether that be high school, college, university, or in the workplace. Good luck everyone! 🙂 

I’m praying that the warmth of the summer lasts a bit longer. We’ve had such a cold winter that I’m definitely not going to rush anything. I’d take the heat over coldness any day, but there’s just so many perks to the colder seasons! I LOVE Halloween, fall/winter clothes (too much, actually), hot chocolate, etc. But let’s hope that summer lasts at least another three weeks or so. I can wait. 

HAPPY SEPTEMBER, MAKE IT COUNT!
