Thank GOD It’s Fall !
Facing east for the moon rise from my backyard garden … Just another West Texas Friday night!
As much as ☼summer☼ is my favorite season (after all, that’s when my birthday takes place), I’m making the most out of autumn ~ especially going outside for crisp, fresh air !
I’m also all about Starbucks seasonal flavors * ~ from ☼summer’s fruitiness to these comfy delights :
My venti cold cup always comes in handy … for a discount & a drink to last me all ☼day!
Apparently, I was my local barista’s 1st customer to order a Toasted Graham Frappuccino ! #StarbucksLovers ♥ #trendsetter
Furthermore, football has kicked off into full swing!
Here are a few of my favorite things for fall …
Nine Fine Fall Flaves
1. Favorite Candle: my Bath & Body Works ‘ Salty Caramel that I used to light up my *Dallas Cowboys* jack-o-lantern and Advent †cross† (I’m also all about BBW ‘s Pumpkin Pecan Waffles /White Barn ‘s Thanksgiving Morning )
2. Favorite Lip Color: toss-up between my red Ardency Inn ♥Love♥ Cat lipstick from Sephora or purple Vera Wang *Rockstar* lip gloss from ULTA (c/o my Bestie Evie )
3. Favorite Drink: please view above {Exhibits B-E}
4. Favorite Blush: the ones from my KleanKolor Double Rainbow palette , plus I think that I’ll try Dulce Candy ‘s tip on lip colors in a pill box for cheek colors!
5. Favorite Clothing Item: my birthday gifts ~ specifically the scarf/shawl ~ and my recent online finds plus my Target scores ~ particularly the jeans and booties!
6. Favorite Fall Movie: no new releases, so I’ll go with classic football flicks: Varsity Blues (came out my sr. yr. ), Friday Night Lights (with a cameo of my h.s. ), Remember the Titans , Any Given Sunday , The Longest Yard (including the original )
7. Favorite Fall Show: Grey’s ♥Anatomy !!! I’ve been counting down for the Season 12 premiere since the Season 11 finale ~ as a loyal fan for over a decade since the very beginning with the previous seasons on DVD
8. Favorite Thanksgiving Food: I’m not going to lie –> my Cranberry Pie #DISPObustAFlow
9. Favorite Halloween Costume: now how about I have y’all pick ? My personal faves include when I rocked out my abs live, No. 5 … I won our contest in 2013 as Lone Ranger ‘s Tonto and in 2014 as my Nurse Mom who was fine in 1969 ! Will I make a 3 -peat??
Actually, please allow me to add a 10th item:
My #1 Favorite for Fall: my ✌two✌ ♥cute, cuddly companions♥ with whom to softly snuggle for cozy comfort plus who keep me company while hard at work and welcome me home after hard at play !
CHEERS to this time of year!

My good friend, María , never ceases to amaze me.
Latest Mary Kay from María : Travel Case with Brushes for * Powder * Cheek * Eyeliner/Eyebrow * Eye Color * Eye Crease + Lash ♥Love♥ Mascara & Lash-Lengthening Mascara both in I ♥ Black * SatinLips Lip Mask & Lip Balm * Lip Gloss in Pink Luster (lighter) & Berry Tart (darker) | Nourishine Plus | SatinHands Tote with Satin Smoothie Hand Scrub * Hand Softener * Hand Cream * Trial-Sized Fragrance-Free Hand Cream & Peach Hand Cream + Mint Bliss Energizing Lotion for Feet & Legs * 2-in-1 Body Wash & Shave * Hydrating Lotion
She was generous enough to give me more Mary Kay !
Brush Rush : Ready-to-Go!
The reason why she rewarded me with all of these products was because I tutor her grandson , who we rooted on in his basketball playoffs ~ yet I’m the one who’s reaping the rewards.
The compartments keep my cosmetics organized !
All of these will come in handy when I take off for my professional and †spiritual† trip tomorrow!
My fave must-try is the Mint Bliss Energizing Lotion for my lower bod ~ I may lather on before I run on the beach!
I’m extremely grateful for these gifts ~ especially because I’ve been so busy with attending to my students and my own studies to bother with enhancing my beauty lately!
Of course, I need cotton balls and swabs for makeup and skin care application and removal.
Therefore, my CVS ExtraCare card came in handy!
Due to the BOGO FREE promo, I bought two of each and spent less than 2 dimes!
Plus, I have another amazing massage lined up today before I leave town!
