Today we are on our way down to Phoenix! I can’t say that I’m super excited for the heat again, since we just got back from St. Louis where it was a little dreadful with the humidity, but I am looking forward to meeting one of my blog friends for the first time, Jessica from Pig & Dac! I hope she likes me (I feel like a high school girl again, meeting friends for the first time, ha!). And I’m excited to just hang by the pool and spend time with some good friends.
Here are a few of my favorite things from August:
The September issue of Southern Living came out last month! It is my favorite issue of the year because it ushers in fall. I love all the yummy apple recipes they have in this year’s fall issue. They all look amazing!
I needed a new night cream, so I picked this Boots one up a few weeks ago. I already use the day cream and really like it. So far I’m pretty happy with it. It’s pretty light weight and my face doesn’t feel greasy like it did with my last night cream.
I told you guys about these booties on Friday, but I had to highlight them again because they are AWESOME!
They are definitely a true black in person and so comfortable! I cannot wait to wear them about 135 times this fall and winter!
I ordered 2 new oils last week and they came 2 days later!
Both Copaiba and Idaho Blue Spruce are key ingredients in some pain killers I want to make for my dad. I’m really excited to get my veggie capsules now so I can get started on my pill making adventures (that just doesn’t sound right does it?).
I’ve been so happy with all my oils. I used peppermint for a headache yesterday (for both Huebie and I), Frankincense for a mounting zit on Huebie’s nose the other day (and it never showed up!) and Peace and Calming with Lavender to calm Little A down at night before bed. And she’s been sleeping so well! I can’t say enough good things about essential oils!
My hydrangeas have started turning colors again! It’s my favorite thing to see them change and they just started turning to the darker purple last month. Excited to see what they do in September!
Linking up with Kelli and Mia today!
Happy Wednesday friends!
How exciting that you get to meet Jessica! That’s awesome! Have so much fun! Love your booties still! 🙂 And wow you got your oils fast!! I was going to order some Idaho Blue Spruce this month but I’m out of Thieves so I changed it to that. Next month! I’m so happy that you’ve been loving the oils and they’re helping your family. And your hydrangeas are gorgeous! Have a great time in Phoenix, Tiffany! Thanks for linking up!!
Ooooooh! I love those booties!!!
My goodness I am so jealous of your gorgeous hydrangeas. Hydrangeas are my favorite flower!
Those booties look amazing! Enjoy the Phoenix heat (sarcasm). I know I’M enjoying the dreadful Texas heat… Bleh.
I love the booties!!
I have to go to Target later today and I miiight be on the lookout for those booties– SO cute! I also might be on the lookout for that magazine, I love apple everything & could use some recipes 🙂 We have a hydrangea bush, but for some reason it didn’t flower this year! Your flowers are gorgeous!
That magazine cover makes me smile, I think I need to get a subscription. Love those booties!
We started using essential oils a few months back and have had amazing experiences! I am all for going back to the basics of natural medicine!
Colby uses Idaho Blue Spruce – wish it came in 15 ML – didn’t realize it could be used for pain!
What is going on in PHX?? We love it there too 🙂
Those hydrangeas are beautiful!
Thanks Jen! They are my babies. 🙂
Love your list!
So when are you and the family going to come up here for a visit?! Bring your sleds, we have lots of snow… lol. I’m excited for you too… Jessica’s awesome and she’s on my list of bloggers I would love to meet.
Your hydrangeas are beautiful!
Wishing you a lovely trip my friend.
xoxo
You excite me about the essential oils. Looking forward to buying my first kit. I was reading Jessica’s blog when I realized she is in Phoenix and that you are coming for a visit. I live there, too! So perhaps if I don’t get to chit chat with you or her this week perhaps I will get to meet up with her at a later point. 🙂
If you have any questions Brittnei don’t hesitate to email me. I can help answer any questions you have.
That’s right! You’re close by too! If we have some free time this weekend I’ll email you. We’re staying with friends at their vacation home, so we have a lot planned but if it looks like we’ll have some down time I’ll shoot you a note. 🙂
Hahaha I’m sure you aren’t awkward like me so it will be fine for you! What the eff with that magazine cover, oh my gosh I need to go buy that! I love fall too, even though it really doesn’t start here until November. BUT, we are cooling down in a few days to the 90’s and maybe high 80’s if we’re lucky. That’s cooling down for us lol. Exciting nonetheless. And those booties, I liked them the first time you posted them and now I think I HAVE to have them! They’re so cute and look so comfy!
