BAKING/COOKING

I made this sweet potato kale salad with hot ginger dressing and it was great. I added feta and I’d definitely make it again. Perfect autumn meal.

CRAVING

If I don’t buy these new STAMPS OF DELIVERING STAMPS soon I might explode.

DRINKING

I had a chai latte for the first time and it was so good. I never, ever drink chai tea so I thought for sure that I’d hate it but here we are. I don’t know when I adopted this ideology that I think I know everything, but I absolutely do not. What a miserable trait, I really hope it leaves me entirely someday.

EATING

Forever love a Hillstone salad. That almost-shaved grilled chicken they add to their caesars? Ungodly.

EXPERIENCING

I made a batch of pumpkin coffee syrup and I think one of the best feelings in the world is sitting on my couch on a Sunday morning, drinking an iced pumpkin coffee in front of my Halloween village. I DON’T ASK FOR MUCH.

This Halloween village + me against the world

LISTENING

Officially a week until the 31st, so my Halloween playlist has started playing.

LOVING

All things baseball. The great tweets. The Tim Hortons Blue Jays cups!!

SHOPPING

I just bought these brass spiderweb coasters because 1) they look like they’ll last years, 2) I deserve to have nice things and 3) the world is burning but I still don’t want cup rings on my coffee table.

WATCHING

Old CSI episodes. It’s been so long since I’ve seen this show that I don’t remember any of the plot lines, so it’s like watching it for the first time again. Love Grissom.

WEARING

My new ivory Blue Jays crew sweater from Peace Collective. Deeply considering these shorts, too (below).

You can read Fall Fridays Volume 3 over here and I’m doing an autumn highlights reel on Instagram.

BAKING/COOKING

If the kids spend the weekend, I will always make a lasagna.

CRAVING

The pumpkin spice latte flavoured Coffee Crisp. Good god.

DRINKING

Hot apple cider tastes good only once a year and the time has come.

EATING

The green thai curry and pad thai from Nimman Thai in Toronto. Phenomenal.

EXPERIENCING

I took a wildly hot bath the other night before bed (like right before bed) and I slept so deeply that night, it felt like being under a trance. Fully recommend.

LISTENING

To a stray cat who’s purring at my parent’s front door right now and it’s killing me. Is this someone’s cat? Why is it being so friendly to us? Should I not have pet it and fed it this morning? Also when did I fall in love with cats? Is this all because I haven’t seen Baby Dog in six days and I’m lacking animal affection?

LOVING

That my brother, sister-in-law and nephew came for a visit from Scotland and it coincided with being so perfectly autumn-y right now.

SHOPPING

I tried the Salicylic Acid Acne Day Dots (from Peace Out) and I think they worked fine? There’s just something I love more about the Mighty Patch ones, though.

WATCHING

I saw the movie Coherence and loved it.

WEARING

Hair spray! Why am I not doing this more? It solves so many hair problems.

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