twirl

Is it bad if it's only Tuesday and I'm already thinking about the weekend? I'm headed to Georgia Thursday for a wedding at Lake Oconee and I'm giddy with excitement.

My dress is being dry cleaned as we speak, my earrings and necklace are set out, and my suitcase will be packed this evening. 

This video is serving as my midweek inspiration. I see an abundance of dancing in my future...

incredible edible meat

My Greek yogurt and Total is all packed up and ready for me to eat this morning. However, after learning about Mo's Bacon Pancake mix, my breakfast is looking a little boring.

The name says it all; the mix combines the perfect amount of crispy bacon and cakey fluff to create a very indulgent breakfast treat.

Although I'm not a bacon fan, I know a few men in my life that would be very interested...

And between the bacon mix and Lady Gaga's infamous VMA outfit, I can't help but wonder if meat is making a comeback...

falling for fall...

I typically spend late September and October perpetually confused.  I love everything the season brings: crisp air, pumpkin everything, candy corn, boots, Halloween, football + tailgating, hot chocolate, haunted houses...

There is so much to enjoy.

And yet, I fear the early sunsets, long dark days, and cold bitter weather that is just around the corner. 

Therefore, I struggle to fully embrace the goodness that autumn brings. 

This year, I'm determined to love the season to its fullest.  

I've established a few goals....

  1. Eat as many meals outside as possible 
  2. Take lots of postprandial walks
  3. Go to at least one haunted house
  4.  Carve pumpkins
  5. Master the art of layering
  6. Order my latte spiced or pumpkin whenever possible
  7. Attend as many football games and tailgates as I can
  8. Embrace fall festivals
And, to get myself in the mood, some autumnal inspiration...
