Why Autumn Is The Best Season

   School starting is the sign that fall is on the way! It would be a lie if I told you any other season is my favorite. Below, I have compiled my top 10 reasons I am looking forward to fall!

   1) Foliage: Everything is prettier in fall. With the Fall comes beautiful leaves turning from green into a Golden, brown, orange color. My favorite thing to do during the fall is go for a car ride on a road covered with trees and look at the beautiful scenery.

   2) Pumpkin Spic Latte: I look forward to this drink all year. As soon as Starbucks puts the Pumpkin Spice Latte on their menu, it is a sign fall has arrived.

   3) Halloween: Everyone, young or old, loves a good excuse to dress up on this day. And this is the perfect reason to quote Mean Girls.

   4) Pumpkin Butterscotch Muffins: Oh goodness! These muffins are so delicious. I could eat 20 at a tine. Whenever these are made at my house (quite often during the fall season) they are gone within minutes. As gifts, I make these for my friends or teachers fall semester. I blogged the recipe last year so if you are interested in making them click here. 

   5) Football: I am not a big fan of NFL football but once football season starts at my school, I like to show my spirit. I wear my school sports, color beads, team (temporary) tattoos, and the color coordinating bows. I don't always know what is happening during the game but I still cheer anyways!

   6) Scarves: I love to put on a light weight scarf to keep you warm in the mornings. My favorite color during the fall season is a plum knit scarf because it matched the darker colors in my fall wardrobe. 

   7) Boots: Wether it be Riding Boots, Cowboy Boots, Hunter Boots or Combat boots, all look cute to pair with outfits in the fall.

   8) Thanksgiving: This is a favorite holiday among many because it's when families come together to celebrate each other and eat as much as they can. You have the lovely mashed potatoes, casseroles and corn, the big Smoked Turkey and all of your desserts. Pumpkin pie, Apple pie, Pecan pie, Cheery pie, cookies, brownies, muffins, cake etc. Oh and don't forget the sweet tea ;)

   9) Lauren James Company T-shirts: I love comfy t-shirts and I love comfort colors. This Company combines the too! When I think of fall these T-shirts always pop into my mind. My favorite T-shirt of theirs being the one above which says Put Some Prep In Your Step. I'm not sure if it's the boot on the t-shirt or what but this shirt is just adorable. 

   10) Everything is just better in autumn!

I Hope after reading this post you have fallen in love with fall just as I have!

                                      XOXO,

Tricks For Better Beach Waves

   Aloha!!! Recently I have been so busy! I have taken drivers ed, just come back from vacation at the beach and started school! There's something about hair during the summer that gives you a naturally beautiful look. During my vacation, I did little styling to my hair and let the beach take over. I have was left with amazing windswept beach waves! As much as we all want to walk along the beach with the wind flying through your hair with no care in the world, this isn't practical! But don't fret, I have a few tips to help you get the perfect beach waves at home!
   1) Sea Salt & Scrunching: After washing your hair and drying it (towel or air drying) until slightly damp, spritz your hair with the sea salt spray of your choice. Comb through and scrunch your hair. Once dry you are given a easy chic hairstyle.
Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Texturizing Sea Salt Spray (8oz): $4.74- found at Walmart
Loreal TXT It Tousle Wave Spray : $4.99 found at Ulta
OGX Moroccan Sea Salt Spray: $7.99
   2) Sleeping In A Braid: Make sure that your hair is slightly damp (whether you wash it and dry it or spritz it with water). Braid your hair and go to bed with it in. In the morning, check to make sure your hair is dry and let the braid out to be given loose waves. Spray with a light weight hairspray and you are set for the day.
   3) Sleeping In A Bun: As long as you don't leave that awful crease in your hair, left from a ponytail, sleeping in a high bun is an easy way to get those beautiful waves while still looking stylish.
   4) Using a Curling Wand: If you use a wide barrel, and twist your hair before putting the strand on the wand, you are left with effortless curls. You can also do this the night before and sleep on those curls so when you wake up in the morning you have a "windswept".
   All these tricks will leave you with amazing beach waves. You can wear them to school or if you are still experiencing the joys of summer (lucky you) then these would be perfect for any outfit! I will become more present on the blog in the days to come! Sorry again to you all and Caroline for the brief hiatus!
                                                                                                            Yours truly,
                                                                                                                      Sarah C.
