While trick-or-treaters may be house-hopping and candy-popping this weekend, I’ll continue consuming my healthy supplements on the ☼daily!
Ginkgo Biloba : to promote mental focus
Centrum VitaMints® : to aquire essential nutrients in a tasty way
I’ve come a long way since my childhood Flinstones chewables ~ which I doubt are the best bet for my teeth with the acidity
I’m still not a fan of swallowing tablets without having water and food in handy
Therefore, I’m all about double-duty of fulfilling my ☼daily☼ needs while freshening my breath !
Of course, I don’t skimp on the actual food that I need to fuel my brain and body ~ which I’m actually including in an analogy between my marathon and my main statistical method (multiple regression ) for my doc research !
Study Mode Trail Mix : Since almonds helped my bod during my 26.2-mi. course and my mind through my dissertation process , they were the main feature of this snack combo for the crunch + the Pumpkin Spice flavor along with the pumpkin cookies & candy , as well as more chocolate to cover these Brookside blueberries that also benefit the memory !
Speaking of my race, although I haven’t run as many long distances in awhile, I’ve fit in mini drills to keep my energy levels high while I’ve been drained from my dissertation , a.k.a., my doc docs …
During my dedicated eating time (yes , I must make a meal break away from my computer, according to my Bestie Evie ‘s birthday advice ), I actually HIIT before I sit!
While I wait for my chow to cook ~ simmering in the crock pot, boiling on the stove, or nooking in the oven/microwave/toaster ~ I do the following quick set(s), to induce more calorie-burning even after I’m done exercising:
Standing ♥Cardio♥
Floor/Mat/Carpet Core
More ♥Cardio♥
Dance ’til your ♥heart’s ♪content♫ ~ or your grub is ready
Stretch
Relieve those muscles after sitting at the computer desk and before sitting down to eat
Happy Early Halloween, All †Saints’ Day y el Día de los Muertos! ✌

What’s better than carving and painting jack-o-lanterns ?
Eating pumpkin … At least for yours truly!
I’ve already gone PSL -out and then some:
Pepperidge Farm Pumpkin Cheesecake dessert cookies & Pumpkin Spice Milano + Blue Diamond Pumpkin Spice Almonds from CVS | Quest Bar Pumpkin Pie energy bar (which we used to give away from Pretty Fit ) from Market Street
In fact, I used to buy a full pie for the fam to celebrate Halloween/Thanksgiving /my sis ‘ birthday since college
(the Fazoli’s Ghirardelli tops a close 2nd)
I’m flip ping over this YOLO –yo !
TGIF *Friday Night* Addendum
Now I’m somewhat relieved that this weekend’s Halloween party has been canceled/postponed due to t-storms (Hurricane Patricia’s just further down south) ~ so in addition to preparing for my next round , I also can have some down time …
Bring on the cozy comforts of hot cocoa & mac ‘n’ cheese , please!

To stay in the spirit for this season, I decked out with a little bit of my autumn aesthetics ~ ringing in the old with the new!
My little splurge to bring me cheer this time of year : this rad-in-plaid deer because plaid is on-trend (this one somewhat resembles Burberry) + it’s deer season (not that I’m a hunter) & rein deer season ‘s just around the corner ~ so I’ll adorn it with special ornaments! Just to add to my eccentricity, I named this bad boy DOC to keep me motivated as I keep truck ing along (more in high-speed ) toward my doctoral degree ! Along with Doc are A&A ‘s *Dallas Cowboys* TD toy for football season & my classic Halloween decor ~ including Ba dt z-Maru pillow ~ on this plaid spread that accompanies autumn yet also is appropriate for winter as we approach CHRIS†mas in red & green!
Here’s more info on my fall favorites to take yours truly through this sweater weather & before the snow hits our neck of the woods …
13 Pre-Howl -o-ween Fave Fall Things
What’s the best fall memory you have? ~ football games, both when I was in h.s. & when I’d see my *Dallas Cowboys* live (everything’s BIGGER in TX)
What’s your favorite book you’re reading (or have read) this fall?~ Guts Grace & Glory (football devotionals) that I received during Lent & am reading through football season
Which makeup trend do you prefer: dark lips or winged eyeliner?~ both (winged liner above in Exhibit B)
Best fragrance for fall? ~ Bath & Body Works Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin (above in Exhibit A)
What is autumn weather like where you live? ~ we’re still as ☼sunny☼ as Indian summer but anticipate a cool-down soon
Most worn sweater? ~ my tribal cardigan by ♫Maroon 5 ‘s ♪Adam Levine♪
Must-have nail polish this fall? ~ Sally Hansen ‘s Miracle Gel to top off color because it seriously lasts a long time (I’m just barely removing my color after 45 days)!
Football games or jumping in leaf piles? ~ BOTH! (see No. 1 for football & Exhibit B for leaf piles)
Skinny jeans or leggings? ~ either or, as long as I don’t have a muffin top in the denim or camel toe in the tights
What is something that nobody knows about you? ~ I don’t mind digging into Ramen even if there’s other food in the panty (especially as comfort food now that we’re entering a colder climate ), which I actually ate for lunch this afternoon while watching Wong Fu ‘s major cook-off !
Combat boots or Uggs? ~ bringing on my Docs , baby!
Is pumpkin spice worth the hype?~ ¡Claro que sí!
What song really gets you into the fall spirit? ~ oddly enough, ♫Taylor Swift ‘s ♪ Wildest Dreams♪ because it could describe any desire (i.e., “tall” could be a tall order of Starbucks Salted Caramel Mocha ), fulfilled or fantasized about

As Bruno Mars sings
♪Baby Squirrel, you’s a $3×7 … ♫
I treasure
☼ Our Lady of Guadalupe † ♥
and my fave fall flave :
Pumpkin Spice Latte !
Please make it sweet & spiced + iced …
Spice … Ice … Nice … Is this a vice ?
& to top it off to make it all nice:
Pair with a Pumpkin Scone
Can’t go wrong with FREE samples … Because even if it’s a YOLO , the portion’s so low ! #DISPObustAFlow
To Knock 2 Birds with 1 Stone!
