It is officially October and I could not be any happier. Besides February, it's my favorite month of the year. There are so many fun things to look forward to and the weather is finally cooling off. I'm hoping to bust out my brown leather boots in the upcoming weeks!


This weekend has been exciting for me because it's fall break! I don't have school today or tomorrow and I'm soaking it all in. Sleeping in late, watching lots of TV, and taking warm lavender baths. I'm also planning on doing a bit of baking so I can take some yummy goodies back to campus with me.

October is also the month of my boyfriend's birthday which happens to fall (no pun intended) on Halloween itself. I think they have a name for those people but it's escaping me at the moment. Anyways, I'm really looking forward to decorating pumpkins with him and making lots of trips to Starbucks. Iced white chocolate mocha anyone? Or are you a pumpkin spice latte kind of girl?

I'm also wanting to try something new this year and attempt to make caramel apples. Neither of us have ever made them but we're thinking it can't be that hard. The only thing we're worried about is them not meeting our expectations. Let me explain...where we're from, we are spoiled with this place at the mall called Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. If you have one near you, you know what I'm talking about! They make the most AMAZING candied apples. My favorite is the one that is covered with white chocolate and mini M&Ms. I'm really hoping to recreate that baby because it's sooo delicious and yet so expensive too.

Wish us luck and enjoy your October! Do you have any special fall plans?
