Sending you good vibes on an almost November day and a HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
I have two words for you today: Personal Planner
I want you to have one! They have gifted me a planner (that I was able to completely customize for myself) and have also sent me a gift for YOU! I am doing a giveaway for you to completely customize your own for 2023 (can you believe it’s going to be 2023?).
All you have to do to enter the giveaway is comment on my IG post featuring the planner later today with your favorite holiday! That’s it!
If you want 10% off today, you can visit personalplanner.com and use the code HAPPY FALL through tomorrow night!
In other news, we finally had our first snow of the season the other day and it has been really chilly here for the past few days. It has been such a beautiful Fall here in Colorado that I feel like we got away with something.
We usually have snow on Halloween, too. Is it like that where you live? I always felt so bad for the kiddos when they were little and would have these adorable Halloween costumes and then have to bundle up with big coats, gloves and scarves. But nothing would stop them from trick-or-treating!
One year, when we lived in Indiana, my daughter dressed up like a Starbucks Coffee with her bestie. We were expecting a huge snow storm on Halloween so the city actually made Halloween on October 30 and sent all the kids out trick-or-treating a day early. And the storm was really bad so I am glad they did!
Aren’t these costumes so, so cute? It was so easy – I just bought them matching dresses, printed out the Starbuck logo, attached it to some brown craft paper for a large “belt” and pinned little lids and straws in their hair. These were actually so fun!
I am still working on my master closet makeover. I slowed down because we have a house full of people and there is just a lot of activity right now and things to take care of.
If you missed my last Weekender, go check it out to find out what is happening right now!
My closet is going to be so, so, so good and I can’t wait to get it completed. I am doing a hybrid build with Ikea Pax units and hand-building the rest.
I am heading out to Cali tomorrow with my bestie for her 50th birthday. We are driving to California for a week with our friends to celebrate. It is going to be SO fun and I am waaayyy overpacked.
Vitality had a really exciting week this week! They have been working on a really fun collection with COSMOPOLITAN Magazine and launched on Thursday. You have to check it out! It is a really FUN collection (winking at you, Wildberry) and different from anything you have ever seen. COSMO loves it!
I got the Wavelength and Chrysalis (above) sets.And the Men’s stuff is just as fun! Looking for a gift for the holidays for your guy? The tees are SO soft and the lined shorts are a HUGE winner.
In case you missed it, I want to include you in my recipe round up!

What I am loving on IG this week:
- Her recipes look so yummy
- Have you seen Molly stoning her two-story fireplace?
- This amazing soul just got engaged after losing the love of her life a year ago. Love her story of redemption. Followed along her journey because our husband’s have the same exhausting cancer journey.
I hope you have a beautiful week ahead.
