Last week I shared a photo taken during a recent walk. I love walking during the fall and enjoying the cooler weather and beautiful colors. Fall is my favorite time of the year, and today I wanted to share 5 things I am loving this season.
- Fitness with a Friend. Walking is my favorite form of exercise, but this fall season a friend and I decided to branch out a bit by signing up for a fitness class. We are taking a barre class once a week with a group of about 10 other women. I am loving the challenge this class provides and the added bonus of time with a dear friend.
- Food. Pumpkin is the flavor of the season, am I right? I like to think that I was a fan of pumpkin before pumpkin became trendy. Pumpkin, you and I go waaaayyy back! Two of my favorite things to make with pumpkin are: pumpkin soup and pumpkin chocolate chip muffins. I will share my pumpkin soup recipe soon. My favorite brand of pumpkin to use when making these recipes is Libby’s 100% Pure Pumpkin.
4. Fashion. One of my favorite fall fashion items is my GAP jean jacket. I’ve wanted a GAP jean jacket for a very long time, but the frugal side of me held back knowing it was more of a want than a need. A couple years ago I stumbled upon a GAP jean jacket on ThredUp. I was thrilled by the price and the quality. I love this jacket because of its versatility and comfort. I wear it with colored jeans, leggings and dresses; it always adds to my outfit when I can’t quite figure out what to add. I think I love this jacket even more because I didn’t just jump to an impulse buy. I knew I wanted it, but I waited and considered and waited until I finally found it on ThredUp. ThredUp is an online store that sells gently used clothing for women and kids. I have purchased over a dozen items from ThredUp in the past few years. If you purchase through my link you receive $10 off your first order (and I receive $10, too). http://www.thredup.com/r/SPNFUN Check it out!
5. Foliage. As I mentioned at the start of this post, I love walking in the fall and enjoying the sites. I also enjoy sitting at my table with a warm cup of tea and staring out the window at all the vibrant colors. Fall provides such a beautiful backdrop for my not so busy life!
What about you? What are you loving this fall season?
Until next time,
Charissa
