I changed up some of the questions because some of them included fashion questions about sweaters, boots/uggs, leggings/skinny jeans. I do not own any boots, uggs, leggings, or skinny jeans, and I don't really have a sweater either. I am so incredibly unfashionable I'd make some of you fashionable people cry. I own one little jacket/hoodie that I take out the 3 times of year it gets below 65 degrees in Florida.
1. Favorite candle scent?
This is actually my second candle of Snow Day.I also have the plug ins! People describe this as Twisted Peppermint light. I loathe Twisted Peppermint, it is way too strong for me. Snow Day is a soft vanilla peppermint scent, with a fresh wintery air scent thrown in. I love it!
I'm very impressed with the Better Homes & Gardens candles! The smaller one I got for $4 and the larger one I got for $5 at Walmart. Red Wood Pomegranate is a fruity woodsy scent, and True Fall Splendor smells exactly like BB&W Leaves to me.
2. Coffee, tea, or hot chocolate?
I like coffee and tea, but I don't drink either regularly. I'm a decaf coffee drinker, and will drink maybe a cup 3 or 4 times a week.
3. What's the best fall memory you have?
I always remember going for long walks on Thanksgiving with my parents. We'd always go on short walks, but on Thanksgiving we went for like a 2 hour walk around our neighbor with our dog. I enjoyed the weather, the scenery, and the family time.
4. Which makeup trend do you prefer: dark lips or winged eyeliner?
I can't do winged eyeliner, I am completely eye makeup challenged. I do really like dark lips though. These are some of my favorite dark lip colors this season.
5. Favorite fall fragrances?
I love warm, rich, and sophisticated scents for fall and winter, and these all fit that bill. If you like those types of scents you'll appreciate these too!
6. Favorite Thanksgiving food?
This isn't traditional, but I love this squash casserole I make every Thanksgiving. The recipe is based off the squash casserole served at a southern food restaurant in Austin called, Threadgills (if you're in Austin you need to go here!). It's a yummy mix of a yellow squash, butter, cheese, green chili, and bread crumbs. You can find the recipe here.
7. What is autumn weather like where you live?
Autumn doesn't really exist in Florida. I would say it stays uncomfortable hot for most of autumn. When you get int he last month of autumn (which now) we can get milder temperatures in the upper 70's and low 80's. That is not autumn by any means, but it is a relief from the heat.
8. Must-have nail polishes for fall?
These are polishes I've been grabbing for lately. Yes, this was hard to narrow down.
9. Is pumpkin spice worth the hype?
I would of said no, if not for yesterday. I've pretty much maxed out my pumpkin spice love last year. I overdid it, but then I found these beautiful morsels of joy yesterday.
10. Favorite fall blushes?

ReplyDelete1. Favorite candle scent?
I honestly don't have one. I don't burn candles. I do have some of those plug-in thingies, but I can't remember what the scents are at the moment.
2. Coffee, tea, or hot chocolate?
Tea, iced only, unsweetened, and hot chocolate occasionally. I mostly just drink water, though.
3. What's the best fall memory you have?
When I was a kid, my grandma would always host Thanksgiving with my mom's extended family (my mom's aunts/uncles/cousins and their kids, etc.) and my cousins and I would always play in my grandparent's basement. They had a bar down there and we would always play restaurant.
4. Which makeup trend do you prefer: dark lips or winged eyeliner?
Hmm, neither really. I suck at any kind of eyeliner and dark lips make me feel really self-conscious. Lately, I've been wearing Maybelline Color Whisper in Pin-Up Peach and Color Elixir in Captivating Carnation. I did pick up the Color Elixir in Raspberry Rhapsody which is probably about as dark as I'll go with a lip color.
5. Favorite fall fragrances?
Not sure if they're fall fragrances or not, but I've been wearing Gucci Guilty and Dior Addict Eau Delice a lot lately.
6. Favorite Thanksgiving food?
Oh my glob, probably everything, haha! Seriously, though, I *have* to have green bean casserole and dinner rolls.
7. What is autumn weather like where you live?
I live in Kansas City, so it could be in the 50s one day and snowing the next. Lately, it's been a roller coaster ride of daytime highs in the mid-30s to mid-50s. Looks like 30s and lower will be sticking around soon, though.
8. Must-have fall nail polishes?
Oh gosh, I don't know how to choose! I'm not usually one to follow the seasonal color "rules," so I've been wearing a lot of pinks and bright-ish blues lately. China Glaze Ahoy is probably my most worn polish (my bottle is half gone already). I wore Deborah Lippmann Between the Sheets the other day and got quite a few compliments on it. As for "fall" polishes, I'd say Illamasqua Charisma, Julep Joan, OPI Roadhouse Blue and OPI Eurso Euro are my "must haves."
9. Is pumpkin spice worth the hype?
In my opinion, nope. I like pumpkin bread and pie, but I'm not a huge fan of spice anything.
10. Favorite fall blushes?
My go-to lately is TheBalm Hot Mama.
