Whoo! Its been a long month. More than a few exams and more than a few tears. It’s honestly been interesting. I think that this month started out on a high, but its ending up a lot better than expected. How’s your October been?
Anywhoo, I’ve had the burning desire (sorry, that song’s been stuck in my head a while…) for a few things this month. Generally it’s very fall like things I’m yearning for. I haven’t had a lot of beauty related wants, but that’s because the cooler weather has been good on my skin, so nothing much has changed.
- The one thing I’ve really been wanting this month are Sweaters! The chill is just starting to set in on my usually mild climate and I’ve definitely been needing them. It’s a bit hard for me to transition my summer to fall/winter wardrobe but every year, it’s the sweaters that do the trick. My personal belief is to get a bunch of the neutral basic colors – black, brown, and cream – and then mix and match and accessorize from there.
- My next want is Peeps! I love these candies!!! I know they must be terrible, sugar covered sugary marshmallows, but they’re absolutely amazing. Recently, they’ve started making them for most of the major holidays instead of just Easter, so I’ll be looking out to get some this month especially!
- Who doesn’t love the rich spicy smell of pumpkins and cinnamon? Most people turn to Yankee candles or other brands of delicious candles for this kind of warmth in their rooms. Unfortunately, my mom doesn’t think candles are safe, so I cant enjoy them. I felt like I was missing out until I found out about wax warmers. They’re all the smell without the whole “Oh no did I just burn the house down again? golly gee…” Hopefully I’ll acquire one this month.
- Next is stockings (or pantyhose if you prefer). You might be asking why in the world I’d want them this time of year. I just love them in fall for wearing under sweater dresses with boots. It looks a lot nicer than leggings, but you just have to remember to bring a jacket!
- Last but not least is… (drum roll please) Pumpkin Spice Lattes! It just isn’t October without them, and yet I haven’t had a single one yet!
Well, that’s about it for my October wishlist. Its rather short this month since I’m not sure about my weather yet. What have you been wanting this month?
