Hi everyone!! Happy Fall!! Can you believe we are finishing up September. I wasn’t ready to say goodbye to summer, but after chilly weather these past few weeks, I am officially ready for fall. I want crisp leaves, hot apple cider, pumpkins, and all the sweaters! As we wrap up another month, it’s time for another Currently. Here’s a look into what’s new this past month.
What I’m up to: This month started out with all things summer, from Labor day, to days spent outside and end of the season barbecues. But, mid way through it changed from summer to fall fast. I couldn’t believe when it was 45 degrees when I was heading into work..brrrr….but now that fall is here I am ready to embrace it and everything that comes with it.
What I’m wearing: This part of the year is always so hard when it comes to work clothes, do you look too fall-ish with pants and sweaters or do you freeze with dresses?! It’s such a toss-up, I will be ready for when weather gets consistent, if it ever does? What are some of your go-tos for fall fashion?
What I’m reading: I just finished reading, The Royal We, it was the perfect mix of romance, drama, fairy tale and fun. Although, it took a while to get through it, I was so happy with the ending. The sequel just came out so I know I am going to dig into it soon. I am about to pick up a new book, about the end of summer, perfect timing don’t you think? What are you reading now?
What I’m Watching: I just finished watching Get Organized with The Home Edit on Netflix. As someone who loves to organize, this was my show, I loved that they showed how to organize different spaces in every episode. I love to learn different tips and tricks to make my spaces clutter free and more orderly, plus who doesn’t like a peak into some of your favorite celebrity homes?
What I’m Loving: I am loving the changing of the leaves and seasons, although I was so sad to see summer go, I am already working on a bucket list for fall, it includes, apple picking, pumpkins, scarves, autumn colors, and crisp air. I can’t wait to start celebrating the next few holidays. I am also loving fresh flowers as the seasons change.
What Inspires Me: I have been on a Pinterest kick, everything from seasons, quotes, and home décor. Its been a fun escape from social media and it makes me feel a lot more creative too.
What I accomplished: I have been working on budgeting. I made a lot of headway in saving and organizing my money. One of my goals after college was to live at home and save a lot and I am happy with how I have been doing with it so far. Plus, thanks to the Every Dollar Budget App, I have everything organized in one place and on my phone and I can reference it whenever I need it.
Goals Accomplished from Last Month: I took advantage of the last few weeks of summer and I still want to keep up with that this month. I also got a lot of things done in and out of work, there is nothing better than crossing things off a to-do list.
Goals for the New Month: I want to make sure I am connecting with friends whether it’s in person or facetime. Putting family and friends first is a huge priority for me. I also want to make sure I am still getting fresh air and exercise in my daily routines. As the weather gets colder and I’m tempted to stay inside more I still want to make sure I am getting out of the house when I can.
That’s a little look into life this month, nothing too exciting, a lot of work, downtime on days off, time spent with family, staying in touch with friends. Watching some shows, doing some reading, working out and balancing life. I’m excited for fall and what this next season brings! What are you looking forward to?
