FALL DAYS IN MY LIFE! 🍂shopping & decorating, cozy days at home, romanticizing fall, & reading!

This drink feels like a cozy fall hug. It's perfect. This is such an exciting vlog because this is the first of many fall days in my life that I'm going to be filming this year. I kind of thought to myself that it might be just a little bit too early. I was like maybe I should wait for late September, early October, but I genuinely just don't want to do that. I don't want to wait that long. So I hope you guys are excited to watch them. Like I'm excited to film them and edit them and the whole thing. Also, you guys have to look at this. Look at my screensaver. So I have a couple places that I'm going to be stopping at right now. I want to go to Bath and Body Works to pick up like one or two fall candles. Then I'm going to go to TJ Maxx and Target to look at the decor. And I also really want to get those Halloween cookies from Target. And then lastly, I'm going to make a quick stop at Walgreens because I'm so excited for this. So basically for the Taylor Swift concert, I took a disposable camera with me and the pictures are ready. So I'm going to go pick them up today. I'm so excited to look at them because I literally don't even remember like what I took pictures of. I'm trying to be like in the fall spirit with my little crew neck, but I'm honestly about to pass out. It's so hot. I feel like I didn't get that many things at TJ Maxx. I got five different things, but they're really good things. This is a huge little stacked pumpkin situation. This is going to go outside by my front door. This super cute pumpkin outdoor mat. I got this pumpkin. It's this glass pumpkin. It's gorgeous. Like look at the colors. It was also only $10, which for a glass pumpkin, I thought it'd be a lot more. Then I also got this mug. It says good morning pumpkin. Super cute. Lastly, I got this little arrangement. I really, really liked it. But yeah, that is all I got at TJ Maxx. Now I'm going to run to Target and pick up the little cookies and then I'm going to go to Bath and Body Works and pick up a soap and a candle. That's it. And then we're going home. I've literally never tried these cookies before, but I've always wanted to. So I'm really excited to try them. Okay guys, this portion of the video is kindly sponsored by XNARA.

I also made some of the pumpkin sugar cookies and they are so freaking good. I'm not even kidding. However, I don't know what happened, but they're looking rough. Like what is that? But they are so good and that's what matters. If you guys saw my last vlog where I asked you guys if I should read Scarred or Practice Makes Perfect, so many of you guys commented in that video and told me to read Scarred first. Starting right now, I will literally trust you guys with any book recommendation ever because this was amazing. I'm not even kidding. I read this entire book in one sitting. Last night, it was like 9pm. I was fully ready for bed. I was showered. Skincare was done. But I was like, you know what, let me just start a chapter or two of this book. A chapter turned into the entire book. It was so good and you guys are right, it was better than Hooked. Also, I feel like the reason that I just had to read this book in one sitting is because it was a slow burn, but the slow burn was done so incredibly right that the entire time I was just like at the edge of my seat. It was so, so, so good. Now that I read Scarred, I'm going to start this one, Practice Makes Perfect. I don't think I'm going to start it tonight because I will literally fall asleep at 2 in the morning again. I'm just going to watch my movie and then we're going to go to bed. Okay guys, it's a little bit later. As you guys saw, I went to the coffee shop and I also went to the park. Today's actually cloudy and the weather's actually kind of feeling like fall. I was like, let me go sit down at this park, read a little bit of my book and just like take in the fall vibes. I even put on my little knit cardigan. Right now, I'm actually outside of a Krispy Kreme. I saw that they have like their fall and pumpkin donuts and I've never tried them before. I've tried their regular donuts, but not like their seasonal donuts. They probably taste the same, but there's like a little pumpkin on it, so I'm going to get it. I'm going to get one of those, one of those, one of those, one of those. Perfect. Okay, let's go get our donuts. I ended up getting six donuts. I guess only one of them is pumpkin and then all the other ones are just regular, but that's fine. And then because I'm insane and I saw that they had this, I got doggie donuts, pumpkin spice flavor. Let's see what these look like. Wow, this is so cute. These are all doggie treats. These look more fall inspired than mine. Anyways, back to my donuts. I got two regular glazed, one regular chocolate, one pink sprinkles, one chocolate sprinkles, and then the pumpkin spice glazed donut. Okay, I'm going to try, my mouth is watering. I'm going to try the pumpkin spice glazed donut. That's so good. This is what I thought. It's bomb. It's been 20 seconds. I have that much left. But anyways, I'm going to go home, take my dog, his little treats. I've been sitting in front of my computer for like 10 hours. I'm not even kidding. I sat down at like 11 to edit this video. It's currently 10 20 PM. So the vlog that you guys are watching right now, I'm editing it currently, but I realized that it's a little too short. So I figured I'm just going to continue to vlog tonight and tomorrow. I'm exporting the video I just finished. And every time I do that, my computer like freaks out and the fan starts going really, really loud. Like I literally think it's going to explode one of these days. But anyways, because I feel like I haven't done that much with my day, other than sit here literally all day, I want to make the most of my night. So I'm going to finish this book tonight. I have that much left. I was reading it all morning today. I'm on chapter 23, page 189. So I'll definitely be able to finish this tonight. Also earlier this week, I made I think like my favorite purchase ever. Actually my coffee machine is my favorite purchase ever. But what I think is my second favorite purchase ever is a walking pad that I got this Monday. It was really inexpensive compared to like treadmills and other walking pads that I saw. The one I got, I'm going to try to link it, right? I'm going to link it in my Amazon storefront. I've only had it for three days, but so far it's worked really, really well. I know a lot of people use it like under their desk and they're like working and then walking at the same time. I'm not there yet because I literally think I'm going to fall. Like I almost fell just walking normally. Imagine me with a laptop in front of me, but I'm kind of obsessed with it. So I'm going to walk a couple miles, like I said, then get ready for bed and then read my book. We'll see what time I end up going to bed today. So I finished Practice Makes Perfect. I honestly feel like I could rant about this book for like 10 minutes, but I'm not going to do that to you guys. But I think I give this book four stars and I'm actually not sure if I like this one more than When in Rome. I expected to like this one more than When in Rome. I thought the main character, which is Annie, I thought she was like super relatable. She loves romance books. She's like a hopeless romantic. She owns like a cute little flower shop. I just thought she was going to be like my favorite character of all time. But just like the things that she was doing in this book seemed so cringy to me sometimes and like so immature. Like if she was like a 18, 19, 20 year old character, totally fine. Like I get it. But she's like almost 30 years old. Will, which is the male character, I loved. I thought he was super interesting and just like he had like trauma in his past, but the way that he dealt with that and like the communication, just everything about him, I really, really liked. I liked the beginning and I really, really liked the ending. If you guys have read this book, comment down below what you thought about it because I'm so confused. I'm like, did I love it? Did I hate it? I don't know. Anyways, it is two in the morning. I need to just go to bed and stop like ranting about this book. Okay, so I was about to make lunch for myself right now. But I remember that last night I saw this TikTok for a recipe for shrimp scampi linguine and it looks so good and kind of like easy to make. So I'm going to try and recreate it right now. This is probably the best thing I've ever made.
