Hello and happy Monday friends! I had planned to do this post on Friday but somehow time got away from me so here I am catching up from last week. I hope your week is off to a great start and you are looking forward to a fun week ahead. This week will be rather quiet which I'm happy about.
Today I'm doing another round of Currently. The idea is to share a bunch of things that are "currently" happening in our life based on the prompts. Some months I fly through this post and others I struggle. I'm thinking this month will be easier than normal since I have a lot of fun things going on. So without further ado, let's begin!
ANTICIPATING: Our 12th Anniversary is coming up this weekend and I am so excited. We are planning to go to dinner at The Melting Pot which is the restaurant which he proposed to me 13 years ago today! It's not the same exact Melting Pot since that one closed down several years ago, but I have not been to any melting pot in a long time and I'm looking forward to a fun date with my hubby.
CLEANING: We've been super busy the last few weeks and our normal spots that collect junk are full to the brim with junk so this week I will be working on getting those spaces cleaned up this week and then deep cleaning the house since it's been mostly surface cleaning lately.
FEELING: I have a ton of different emotions lately - mostly positive but my anxiety has been rearing it's ugly head lately and I am irritated by it. Which obviously doesn't help, but I think it comes with the chaos of holiday season.
WATCHING: I have been watching Dancing with the Stars every week and have been really enjoying the season. I also have been keeping up with my baking competition shows so I've been watching all those. AND, since it's October I've been watching Halloween Movies like Hocus Pocus, Halloweentown and Nightmare Before Christmas.
PLAYING: I recently discovered low-fi Halloween beats and have been playing that over and over while working and just around the house. It's such a fun playlist and makes everything so chill and spooky. Check out the video below!
READING: I am so excited because I recently got a Kindle Paperwhite and have been downloading a bunch of books to read. I actually started reading a book I got during the last fill your Kindle day on Amazon called Antiques, Artifacts & Alibis by Sally Bayless. It's a fun, spooky book perfect for the month of October. I also got a spooky box from Once Upon a Book Club and will be reading that too! I love Once Upon a Book Club so much but my budget is a little more restrictive so I've been selecting only a few boxes to read.
Speaking of my Kindle, any others out there do the whole clear case with sticker look? Of course I had to follow the trend and get a clear case and stickers to put on mine as well. The best part? I can switch out whatever stickers I want since they aren't stuck on to the Kindle. Just positioned and held in place by the case.
Want to join the trend? Check out the below links and shop for yourself. I am so excited about mine and cannot wait to switch them out for the seasons.
I'm also planning to get the page turning clicker and stand as well, but will do that after our next pay day. That way I can read hands free and not be looking down all the time.
RECOVERING: Budget? It's a bit weird to say but we've been having a lot of money going out and needed to sit down and do a real budget check. And I must say, not loving the results. HA! But it is always a good practice to do regular budget checks with your partner so you both are on the same page.
TRYING: I've been trying to be better about my skin care and it's all over the place. I really just need to get into a good routine because my skin is just blah lately. I, thankfully, don't have acne. But my skin is so dry that liquid foundation is not really a viable option for me. I know I just need to be better about my skin, but here I am dry as a desert.
WEARING: On Sunday I went to brunch with my girlfriends and wore the cutest shirt from Target with leggings, boots and a plain white tee. Of course I had to throw a cute necklace with it too. If you want to get the shirt for yourself, just click on the image below.
Well I think that is everything I have for today! Hope you have a great weekend and talk to you next week!
