October Favorites

Can I just have the entire month of October be like one big favorite?  I love Octobers.  And now that it's November (what the heck?!) I'm planning our Thanksgiving and Christmas out.  And then it's 2015.  I seriously feel like yesterday it was April.  Anyways, enough of my rambling.  On to last month's favorites!


Food


I made this sausage and butternut squash pasta for dinner last week and it was so good!  I plan on making it again this week.  I left out the fennel seed and the basil and didn't feel like it was missing anything.



Fashion


I had been looking for a buffalo plaid flannel for a few weeks when I saw this one at Old Navy last weekend in Bend.  I love it and may have already worn it twice. #sorrynotsorry



Beauty


I shared this in Friday's post last week but had to share again here.  I love my Younique fiber lashes!  Now when I just use regular mascara my lashes look blah.  I love how the fibers make your lashes look thicker and longer.



Health


My favorite essential oil for October was lemon.  I made my first natural cleaner using just lemon essential oil and distilled water!  I'm still trying to go through our other cleaning products before I convert us over fully natural, homemade cleaners, but I have started cleaning our kitchen counter tops with the lemon cleaner.  It smells so good when I'm done!



Moment


We visited our friends in Bend last month and had a blast.  Even though Little A didn't sleep all that well, and was kind of a mess half the time, we still enjoyed our visit.  This photo was taken at Deschutes Brewery, a local favorite in Bend.

  1. I feel the same way! This year felt like it FLEW by! But when I think about tiny little details, the year was jam packed and so full. I've heard so much about those fiber lashes! Dying to try it!

  9. Yay for fall. I think I like the fact that October cools off, but now that we're in November, the weather is really just how I love it here. :) That butternut squash pasta sounds amazing. I may have to give that a try. Someone gave me some essential oils as samples and I'm so excited. Looking forward to placing a nice order next month since I will be getting ready for the birth of our new baby. They have a nice blend of oils I like that smells like fall called On Guard. It's very cinnaomon-y and orange-y. :)
