FAVORITES

*belts "favorite things" from The Sound of Music obnoxiously*

So, today I'm gonna share a few things that I have enjoyed this month/s!

Warning though: the pictures aren't the best, and I know that. My camera has been acting kinda weird and 

I think somehow the shutter speed was messed with? I don't really know. I tried changing the shutter speed but the pictures still turned out blurry-ish. So just bear with these pictures haha!  

VINYLS. YAS.

I am so glad I pushed aside my *saves money for all eternity* part of me and bought me a record player. 

I had wanted one for a really long time. I am enjoying it so much. I don't know what it is exactly but it's so much more.. fun (?) than CD's. Maybe it's the vintage feel, don't know but I love it.

Books. 

For some reason for the longest time I just didn't really read a whole lot. Like, all last summer. 

Thankfully, this fall I started "Little Women" (after having it for a good year, I might add), and my love for reading was reignited. I don't know how I ever survived that summer without reading avidly like I always do.

These four books are the ones I've read most recently and really enjoyed. 

"Little Women" by Lousia May Alcott

"The Giver" by Lois Lowry (serious fangirl over The Giver)

"Gathering Blue" by Lois Lowry

"Choosing to SEE" by Mary Beth Chapman (a.k.a. rip your heart out)

Okay so, technically it's no longer fall, but...... In my opinion... 

The fall scents are a jillion times better then the winter scents. There. I said it. 

I may have even burned this at my Christmas party...?

No one complained so *girl with her hand up emoji*

Burt's Bees is always a good idea. 

This is cuticle cream, don't use cuticle cream. 

My mom suggested to try it as a lip balm, and I love it!

It helps chapped and dry lips soooo much. 

Not to mention the lemon smell makes me swoon. 

Last, but certainly not least:

Peace Tea. 

Mhhmmm. Yes. 

This is the Pink Lemonade + Tea flavor, and it is so good. So good. 

This one is probably my second favorite next to Razzleberry. 

The Georgia Peach tea is amazing as well (and the only one my dad drinks!).

I hope you found this enjoyable. I might start a little series of doing this every once in awhile. :)) What doest thou think? 

may you live in joy and peace, 

Aaliyah
