make - Grown-Up Cereal Bars with Almond Butter, Espresso, and Cardamom. Anyone else getting the itch to bake? These bars look like the perfect inaugural recipe to kick off the season! Now how hard will it be to find puffed brown rice?
spray - I just ordered this dry shampoo that my bestie has been raving about. I love Klorane and I’m hoping it will be exactly what I need for those get up and go mornings when I’m rushing to get the boys off to school.
scrub - I was gifted this cleanser during quarantine and I have used it to the last drop! I cleanse with it daily and use it as a clarifying mask 1-2 times a week. The company is a small, local-to-me, and female founded business that uses only natural ingredients. She is restocking in mid-October!
drink - You are all going to think I’m nutso for saying this but I found the BEST travel water bottle ever. I’ll be honest, I originally bought it for looks (so pretty). I was sick of rummaging through our cup cabinet in the morning looking for anything with a matching lid and this just looked like a fresh start. Beyond being aesthetically beautiful, the top is designed in a way that liquid only pours out of the sides (not from the center) so there is no feeling of your hot tea or coffee rushing out at you too fast. The same goes for ice which was the best party trick when my cubes were still cubes a day late. If said too much already haha - just get it! You will 1000% love it and thank me later. I’m thinking of buying these for the boys.
laced-up - I’m going to do a bigger post on Fall boots but wanted to share my favorite style this year (and last year). It’s best described as a sleek combat boot, laces up, and looks great paired with denim, dresses, and skirts. I have this pair from ba&sh and wore them all the time last Fall and Winter. Here is a similar style for under $200 and I also love this pair. Stay tuned for a full boot styling video!

Family room inspiration! We are in the process of updating our family room and I’ve been scouring Pinterest for ideas. We have two huge built-in bookcases that flank a window seat and I want them to be both beautiful and functional. Easier said than done!
