Hello all!
Happy Friday! We are making our way through November. After a busy weekend of travel last week, I am back home and back into a routine this weekend. We had our first taste of crisp air this week with some frost. But it was still beautiful.
New Blue Shoes- I wear a lot of blue for work. From dresses, to skirts, and pant suits. Blue is a staple in my closet. Years ago, I got a pair of blue pumps and I wore them constantly. I loved them so much; I even got the soles repaired to keep wearing them. Well, they finally bit the dust, and I was in search of a new pair of blue pumps. I went to my go-to, DSW, and they didn't let me down. I got a brand-new pair of blue pumps from Lifestride and love them! I like the double buckle, the patent leather feel and the thick heel. They are comfortable and professional looking and can go with so many things. They were fairly affordable and fit true to size. I know I will be getting a lot of use out of them.
Nature bedtime sounds- Another favorite from this week and the past few months has been nature sound when I head to bed. I have been doing meditation every day from Insight Timer. There are many different meditations you can listen to in the morning, at night, or through the day. I like to start my day with a 10–15-minute meditation and then I like to end my day with one too. I have started to listen to nature sounds when I head to bed and I'm often asleep within minutes. Rain, wind, and fire sounds are my go-to. There are so many different sounds and lengths to choose from. You can go as short at 15 minutes to as long as 9 hours. It serves as a great white noise machine too. If you have trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or calming down, give Insight Timer a try!
The Secret Sauce cookbook- You know I love a good cook book. I recently got my copy of The Secret Sauce. It’s a cookbook from Jessie James Decker, Sydney Bass, and their mom, Karen Parker. I love going through cookbooks and finding new recipes. This is perfect for the fall and winter season as I will be hunkering down for the next few months and looking for new meals to make.

My dishwasher- You know you are getting older when your dishwasher becomes a favorite thing. I have grown up with a dishwasher my whole life, but we rarely used it. We always washed things by hand and dried by hand. The older I have gotten, the more I have used our dishwasher especially with baking and trying new recipes. I know all my dishes and utensils are getting a thorough cleaning. You know you are an adult when a dishwasher brings you joy!
New Phone Background-I decided to switch up my phone background and have been in LOVE with it. The print is from Simplified’s free phone backgrounds to download. I decided to pair it with a favorite quote of mine. I don’t change my background too much, but when I do, it always leaves me feeling refreshed.
