My Fall Reading List

fall reading list

Back in the summer, I read nonstop. It was like I forgot how much I loved it and couldn’t get enough. I was always at the pool working on some summer read I found at the library. Now that school has started back, I rarely have time to read. I hate that, but I definitely want to try and make time for it more throughout my week. I was thinking the other day: I spend countless minutes wasted on my phone looking at random things when I could be spending 30 minutes a day reading! I went to a local bookstore this past weekend and found so many new books I want to read soon, I can’t wait to start!

The Friday Five

10 / 20 / 1710 / 19 / 17

Happy Friday! This was a pretty good week, I can’t believe we’re over halfway through with October already. My ideal fall weather is probably 50-60 degrees, and although it did warm back up closer to lunch, it felt amazing in the mornings! The sad thing is that it’s going to be super hot tomorrow, just in time for my cross country meet 🙃. I’m seriously so happy it’s fall and I can’t wait to get into the fall-ish activities. This Sunday my youth group is going to a corn maze and I’m super pumped. Here’s my roundup of the week.

How to Actually Enjoy Your Mornings

10 / 18 / 1710 / 16 / 17

Mornings are so hard for me because I’m always super tired and it’s so difficult to get out of bed. Now that school has started back and is in full swing, I’ve found it even harder to drag myself out from under the comforter and start my routine. But recently I’ve been thinking about ways to really enjoy your mornings and make them something to look forward to instead of dread. I realized, I can wake up five days of the week almost every week for the next 9 months and be cranky and in a bad mood or I can start to actually make the most of my time before school.

September Playlist

10 / 16 / 17

september playlist

This playlist is probably like my favorite one ever (or in a close tie with my Christmas Playlist haha). I got my license back in August but September was when I really started to drive more often, which means lots of fun music almost every day! I listened to these songs all the time and was constantly adding new music to the playlist. There are actually a lot more songs than these, but I rounded up my absolute favorites to share today! I know this is kinda late, seeing as we’re already halfway through October (where has the time gone?) but I hope you enjoy!

The Perfect Fall Transition Outfit

10 / 1 / 17

How crazy is it that it’s a week into fall and it’s still 80 degrees outside? I have a feeling it’s going to be a hot winter! I do love summer and warmer weather, but after getting a taste of 65 degree weather, I want it to stay for good! Since I haven’t broken out my thick sweaters and jeans haven’t become a staple in my closet just yet, I’ve been experimenting with different pieces that look fall-ish yet work for the warmer weather. I also love adding extra details to this outfit with my favorite new beaded necklace from Jewelry Junkie. It’s so cute and adds the perfect pop of color!
