BAKING/COOKING

I made the Milk Bar pumpkin salted caramel pie and it turned out wonderfully! Incredible rich, but good. Also made this easy bacon pasta that was more than satisfying.

CRAVING

All things cranberry. The best homemade cranberry sauce of all time: a cup of white sugar, a cup of apple juice, a bag of fresh cranberries and the zest of an orange.

DRINKING

This oat maple brown sugar creamer is great in iced coffee.

EATING

We did Thanksgiving a week early, so leftover sandwiches were back and better than ever.

EXPERIENCING

The joys of October. Weather has finally shifted to chilly, the leaves are on their way out and the pumpkins have been bought. Look at this incredible soap my friend bought me!

LISTENING

A week later, this is still me at the moment:

SHOPPING

I have my eyes on so many things: this NYPL ornament, this too-expensive Aritzia sweater in brown, this Roots vest in hazelnut brown and these mouse ornaments. And I know I don’t need another pair of brown boots, but these are gorgeous.

WATCHING

I saw the first couple of Paranormal Activities for the first time and they were pretty fun. Also watched the Summerween episode of Gravity Falls with the kids and it was unexpectedly great!

WEARING

Living in this new Zara sweater.

You can read Fall Fridays Volume 1 over here and I’m doing an autumn highlights reel on Instagram.

BAKING/COOKING

I made these pumpkin pecan chocolate chip cookies, which were good if not a little plain.

CRAVING

All I can think about is making this cornbread stuffing fried rice for Thanksgiving in Canada next week. I think leftovers might be better than the main meal.

DRINKING

Blonde flat whites are the only hot drink at Starbucks that don’t give me a stomach ache.

EATING

As soon as the temperature dropped, I had to make a short rib bolognese.

EXPERIENCING

False lash withdrawal. Should I get them done again? Will there ever be a product that will actually make them grow fast? Am I the problem? Am I too impatient to even give them a chance to grow? Why do I hate my face when I don’t have them? Should this have been a diary entry instead of a weekly update? Yes.

LISTENING

Shower playlists. When I was a teenager, I used to always have music playing while I was in the shower and then I slowly stopped over time and what a dumb move. Especially when showering at night? It takes a few minutes longer to set up, but god is it worth it.

LOVING

This slow cooker turkey breast recipe. I’m missing (real) Thanksgiving this weekend (but celebrating a delayed one next weekend), so I’m doing a mini Thanksgiving for Nathan and I when he gets back from Vegas on Monday.

SHOPPING

The new Trader Joe’s mini autumn candles. Maple sugar was the main draw here, it smells heavenly.

WATCHING

Finished this season of Only Murders in the Building and it wasn’t as good as the first two seasons, BUT Martin Short and Paul Rudd were the highlights for sure.

WEARING

Seasonal pajamas. Worth it.

And I’ve created an autumn highlight reel on my Instagram incase you care!
