Friday Five

Hello, Lovelies

1. First up for this five, lipstick! This past week, I have fallen back in love with wearing lipstick. A classic red, something bright and fun, I love how it looks. I have a nice pinkish red color that is just so great. I can't wait to buy a plum colored lipstick for this fall. I love how it feels, how it looks. It really adds to an outfit. I feel weird without my lips on!

2. Once Cierra has gone to boot camp (no technology), I am going to be recording videos and posting them all on my own. I won't be able to bounce ideas off her, so I made a list of video ideas for myself. The great thing was, I was able to decide all the videos I am going to be recording and which days I am going to upload them. I have the next two months lined up, and I feel great. I love having a schedule planned out. Perfectionist/ anxious personality coming through.

3. Slowly but surely, the leaves are changing color and falling to the ground. The first official day of autumn isn't until the 23rd, but it already feels like fall to me. There are pumpkins and decorations for sale in stores, and everyone seems to be thinking up cool costume ideas. I have even seen a bunch of recipes for creepy Halloween themed food. This is all not to mention the perfect sweater weather Michigan is currently experiencing. Time to get cozy. I love fall, and as I said yesterday while shopping with my dad, "I want to cuddle it and hold it close to my heart." Yes, I really said that. Yes, I know I'm weird. I don't care. Who's with me?

4. The past couple of weeks my family has been eating more junk food. Normally, I don't let anyone buy junk food and therefore my nickname has become the "Food Nazi". Now, after a couple weeks of having sugary, unhealthy snacks and treats, I am really trying to get back to my regular healthy eating self. Yesterday my dad and I went shopping. I loaded the cart up with fresh fruits and vegetables because I am determined to be healthy this fall. I am also trying to get my dad to go on more walks with me. It's a work in progress.

5. Lastly, I couldn't go without mentioning how significant this day is to America. 14 years ago today, events occurred that would change this country forever. Although I personally don't remember much as I was only a four-year-old preschooler, others were impacted much more significantly. Many lives were lost (nearly 3,000) in the attack on the World Trade Center and Pentagon. Let us not forget Flight 93 that crashed into a field when brave passengers attempted to get control of the plane by attacking the hijackers.

So many lives were changed. Being the emotional person I am, I get teary eyed just thinking about those who lost their lives or family members and friends of those in the attack. It's time to say thank you to those who risk their lives for this country. I feel blessed to know that they are keeping the country where I live safe.

America was attacked, but came together. Let that be our silver lining. Here's to never forgetting.
