Happy Monday friends! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I wanted to thank you for all the kind words and well wishes on my first day back to work! I was thankfully a lot less emotional than I expected to be and coming home to her smiles and cuddles was just the best, not to mention starting back at work on a Thursday made for a much easier transition! Similar to my post last month with 5 things I loved in September, I wanted to share a few of the things that I just couldn’t get enough of in October!
Whiskey in a Teacup|| My sister surprised me with this book early on in the month and I couldn’t get enough of every single chapter. What I loved is that you could actually here Reese talking as you’re reading the book. It was great to have her ins and outs to style, entertaining & the recipes!
Summer Friday’s Jet Lag Mask || I have used this every single day since I purchased it at the beginning of the month and it’s one of the best products that has left my skin feeling so hydrated. I use it right after the shower and then in the mornings as a moisturizer. It’s so lightweight and free of pretty much every single toxin so you can feel confident putting it on your skin. I already know I’ll be repurchasing it this Friday during the VIB sale!
Sophia’s first Halloween || We celebrated Sophia’s first official holiday with Halloween! She was a little too tired to go out and enjoy the festivities, but we did manage to have a little pre-party fun at our neighbors house with all the kids. I felt a little bad that we didn’t dress up like the other parents, but next year we’ll be better!
Wedge Booties || My wedge booties that I first mentioned in this post, finally came in at the tail end of October and I have been wearing them non-stop! They are so comfortable and the exact type of shoe I was looking for to give the jeans and sweater look a little more pop! As far as sizing goes, they run true to size.
Maybelline Lipgloss || I’ve become somewhat obsessed with these lipglosses. I currently mix “charmer” and “too cute” & really want to get a few more. I will say a little goes a long way and you do have to be careful since it can transfer to your teeth!
I looked at the calendar and realized that I’m coming up on my 5 year blogging anniversary which is just nuts!! I’ll be doing a really fun giveaway in the next couple of weeks to celebrate! Hope you have a wonderful week ahead!

I tried the audiobook version (where Reese is actually talking) and just couldn't get into it even though I wanted to love it. Also wedge booties? Where have these been
Your October is so full of color especially with sweet Sophia in it now…cutest lil Candy lover!!!
Listing 5 things you love about a month is a wonderful idea! When I read your first love and saw the accompanying picture, I thought you were actually saying you love to drink whiskey our of a teacup! 😀

Yay for a great October! Love those booties. What a great price! And that book is calling my name. I never used to dress up but now I do

I love those wedges!
I know I've mentioned it before, but Sophia in her costume is just absolute perfection! That smile! She's going to be a heartbreaker, Biana (as if she isn't already!!!) Unrelated, I need to try that mask. This baby has done such a number on my skin, and I feel as though my skin is always dehydrated these days! Thanks for sharing! Happy Monday – and happy November!
Ok Sophia in her costume is the cutest thing. I love that she has all that candy surrounding her. She is gorgeous just like her mom. Thanks for posting about that mask, my skin has been so dry lately. Happy Monday!!
Sophia was just the cutest little lion. The whole parents dressing up thing is new since my kids were little…glad I dodged that bullet. LOL Have a great week!! XO
Glad that your transition back to work is going smoothly for you! Sophia was the cutest little Halloween lion. Whiskey In A Teacup is on my Christmas list, so I'm glad to hear it's a good one.
I'm OBSESSEd with that Halloween photo of Sophia. She looks so pleased with her candy haul. LOL
It's always tough going back isn't it? The Halloween pick is just adorable.

Oh my gosh… I'm struggling this Monday & Sophia in her little Halloween costume just made my day so much brighter 🙂
That picture of Sophia in her costume – OMG. She is such a doll. Her little personality is really starting to come out!
She is so so cute in her Halloween costume! I really want to read that book! I'm thinking it might be my audible purchase net month!
I'm glad that your transition back to work has been pretty easy! I can't get over how beautiful Boston is with all the fall colors! I need to take a fall trip to Boston sometime soon!

I need to try that Maybelline lipgloss! I've seen it everywhere and just keep forgetting to grab one! Sophia makes such a cute lion! That red tree is just stunning.
You had a great October. Sophia was sooo cute for Halloween!
Oh my goodness, Sophia is just darling! Love her little costume!
I also like those lip glosses — they are great for everyday wear.

I'm always looking for more moisturizers to try because my skin gets even drier during these seasons. Sophia looked adorable in her costume!! Looks like I'm going to have to get Reese's book since I want her recipes!

Okayyyy, I need that mask in my life!
I can't believe October is outta here and we're in NOVEMBER!

Gorgeous Autumn colours in Boston! Hey you did well to get Sophia dressed up – so cut and cuddly, I wouldn't worry about you not being dressed up too! Glad your work transition went well – sounds like you have a great balance going. Children always benefit from being left with different people at a young age, they get super social skills – and C cant' remember where he was or what he did before about 6, let alone that he was in nursery so much!

So glad going back to work went okay! I need to look into that book. Glad you all enjoyed Halloween, and your wedge booties look so cute!

I just heard about 'Whiskey in a teacup' and I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it. Look at little S in her cute costume with big smiles. She's adorable! I'm loving all the gorgeous Fall foliage in this post too. We don't get to enjoy that beauty here so I'm a little jelly LOL. Emily @ Martinis & Bikinis
October passed so fast, I can't believe in month and a half we'll be celebrating a New Year! These wedge booties look absolutely beautiful, I love your comfy casual outfit 🙂
Lots of love ♥ Janury Girl
