I just wanted to jump on here to remind us to slow down, enjoy, and appreciate Fall because it only comes once a year. The quote above is so true though. Sometimes it is so necessary to finally relinquish control and to let go of things. Some things in life hold us back from moving forward and it can be so necessary and healthy for us to let go sometimes. Like an arrow, sometimes you have to go backwards to go forwards. Once you let go of something that needed to be forgiven, the feeling can set you free.
That is something I have worked on with my personal growth over the years. Time heals/fixes everything. For me I have a hard time letting go of how I feel people that are close to me (family) have wronged me. I pray and work at my heart every week to try to move forward and forgive. Because in the end, it only festers in your heart and can make your mind and soul bitter. Now i'm not saying forget because a tiger doesn't change its stripes, just move forward and move on. These thoughts surface especially around the holidays for me when emotions are heightened for everyone for whatever reason. I personally work on these negative emotions around this time of year to prepare myself for any situation that may come my way.
Seeing those beautiful leaves change and fall to the ground can be a gorgeous reminder all around us of the beauty of letting go!

On to some of my Fall favorites. The majority of having a "Fall mindset" for me is all in what I wear (and smell, aka, awesome candles). So here are a few picks from my Fall Forever 21 haul. And yes let me tell you how weird it was turning 22, finally past the age of "forever" 21. 😳
This outfit I love and enjoy the fact that I have this beautiful dress extender so I can still wear the cute dresses that are a bit too short.
I love this quick and easy look for a date night and/or movie night!
This outfit is especially perfect for church and braving the cold walking in and out of the building.
I love this one for a cozy walk around the block or errand day!
And let's not forget the minion socks!
I couldn't help it 😂 I had to add a funny and it reminded me so much of Sasha!
Another Fall favorite when it comes to food are these amazing cotton candy grapes found at Publix! They legitimately taste like cotton candy! The peak season for these grapes is September-October.
I also found some of my dairy free ice creams that I love (minus the blue bell one;) that one has dairy). I am on a cotton candy kick lately! The best one by far was the cotton candy one but the pancakes and waffles flavor is a close second.
Let's not forget the marshmallow pumpkin latte foaming soap! This smells ahhhmazing!
My absolute FAVORITE thing to do during Fall time is to hike. It's not too hot and not too cold. We love going to Harrison Bay and walking the trails.
The scenery is such a plus. I could get lost just sitting there looking out over the water ❤️.
Let me end with these decadent Fall themed donuts. The bottom two are pumpkin spice donuts and the top four are the limited addition plain chocolate glazed donuts from Krispy Kreme. They are original glazed donuts but with chocolate glaze instead of regular glaze on the line! Get em while they're hot the first Friday of every Fall month! Very delicious!
With love,
