What I'm Reminiscing about.....
Halloween is in a few days, so I am reminiscing about Halloween:

Love looking back at some of my kids Halloween costumes.
  Last year we did Star Wars....

I've never even seen them, but Kevin & the kids love them and the kids wanted to do this theme. Who am I to say No to a theme? :)

 What I'm loving.....

Lash Boost! It's been exactly a year since we launched Lash Boost.
Get lush, longer-looking lashes in as little as four weeks with Lash Boost.
This nightly eyelash-conditioning serum features a unique proprietary formula that improves the appearance of lash volume and length for lashes that are 100% real, 100% yours.
I am obsessed with Lash Boost...it is my current favorite R+F product....the results are incredible.
Here are my friend Caroline's lashes:

 Aren't her lashes incredible? 

  One tube of Lash Boost lasts me around 4-5 months!
100% natural, 100% real!
If you want longer, darker & fuller looking lashes, this is the deal for you!
Here are my personal lash boost results:

Christmas is exactly 2 months away...imagine what your lashes will look like by Christmas, New Year's or even Valentine's Day!

In honor of Lash Boost's 1 year anniversary, I will be placing a bulk order of Lash Boost!
This is a great way for you to try Lash Boost at a discounted price. 

Lash Boost is $135 & I am placing the bulk order on October 31st.

Prices include tax and shipping.

What We've been up to.....

Working on our Backyard Structure! Mostly Kevin...I just watched him & our neighbor build it over the past couple months.

It's 90% done...we still have some finishing touches like stone on the posts & putting up a TV.

We love how it turned out so far....it's like having another room!
Once it's completely done, I will do a full tour!

What I'm Dreading.....

This weather! UGH! 90's this week here in California?

Thankful it's going to cool down next week.

This is Us. Still majorly obsessed.

Scandal

Grey's Anatomy

I am also obsessed with Fall Hallmark Movies. Kate & I love them! 

Our favorite one so far is Pumpkin Pie Wars.

What I'm Reading.....

I've only read 2 books so far this month.
Ugly Love

I liked this book, 4 out of 5 stars

Without Merit
I wanted to like this book more than I did. I love Colleen Hoover books & this is her newest one.... but it was just okay.

 3.5 out of 5 stars.

Love Colleen Hoover!

What I'm Listening to.....
Bad at Love by Halsey

Love it!

What I'm Wearing.....

Layers! The weather is cool in the morning, but really warm once it hits the afternoon, so layers are where it's at!

Jeans // Top Stitch Fix // Vest // Booties
What I’m doing this weekend.....
Grammy's Memorial Service.
My Grandma passed away in May at exactly 105 years 7 months old. 
I posted a little about Grammy's life in May after she passed away. You can read it HERE

This Friday would be her 106th birthday. We are having her Memorial this weekend because we wanted to make sure all of our family could attend and we decided after she passed away in May that her birthday weekend would be the perfect time.

What I'm Looking Forward to next month.....

NEW YORK CITY!!!!!!!!
My mom is turning 65 & we are headed to NYC to celebrate!

 Her birthday is Thanksgiving Week, so guess what we are seeing while we are there.....
Bucket List Item...Macy's Thanksgiving Parade!!!!

Please send me your NYC recommendations! I haven't been there in 15 years since I did 9/11 relief work.

What else is new.....

Kevin got a new job! He started last week. He was at his former job over 14 years and
a  great opportunity came up.

The best part is he will be home by 5pm each night! We went out to celebrate. So proud & excited for him!

Question of the month is:
What is your favorite Thanksgiving side dish?
Thanksgiving Dinner is literally my favorite meal of the year. I love it all.

One of my favorite side dishes is Baked Corn. (Pictured on the plate, left hand side at 8 o'clock)
It is amazing. We have it every year. I need to blog it. I will blog it....stay tuned.
Besides Baked Corn, I love my Pumpkin Cheesecake {HERE}

I make this every year on Thanksgiving.
Since we will be in NYC on Thanksgiving,  we won't have our traditional Thanksgiving meal, so I am hoping we make it for Christmas!
