Pumpkin Patch Photoshoot + 10 Things
It's almost November! October came and went so quickly. Ever since coming back from my trip to Europe, work has been a whirlwind. I'm really trying to focus on finding a healthy balance but it's easier said than done! This weekend I took some photos of my sis and her boyfriend at the pumpkin patch and they are too cute not to share. It was fun playing photographer and directing them into some different poses. And while I'm sharing a few things that make me happy, here's my latest installment of "10 Things". Happy almost November!
1. Hot yoga is my new workout obsession! I got a Groupon deal at CorePower Yoga and look forward to going a few times each week. It is heated and feels so refreshing after. It's a great de-stresser.
2. Speaking of heat... it's been very (too) hot here lately and doesn't really feel like fall at all. I'm really looking forward to it getting cold and rainy outside (I'm going to be eating these words by the time January rolls around :-P)
3. We have been binge watching a new show called "The Man in the High Castle" and I cannot stop thinking about it. It's an alternative fiction about what the US would have been like if the outcome of World War II was different. That's all I'm going to say about it - I highly recommend!
4. I've been going on walks in the evening lately to clear my mind. I leave my phone at home to completely unplug and listen to music while I walk around the neighborhood. I'm proud of myself for finding other ways aside from running and swimming to de-stress!
5. I'm currently reading a novel called The Courtesan. It takes place in ancient China and it's so good! I'm excited to write a review about it when I'm done :-)
6. Our 5 year plane anniversary (i.e., meeting on the airplane) is coming up in a few weeks <3 I always get so nostalgic around this time of year because of it.
7. My sister and I are planning our next sister trip. We've been debating between Germany, Amsterdam, Saint Petersburg, and Morocco.... lol obvi we need to do more research but I'm already so excited for it.
8. I've been making pumpkin spice granola instead of regular flavored granola lately. I made some the other day for coworkers and it made our entire place smell like fall. Now that I think of it, I'm actually not sure if I'm into it because of how it tastes, or because of how amazing it makes my place smell....
9. The Dodgers are in the World Series right now and my stepdad, the world's biggest Dodger fan, has been so beyond happy because of it. Growing up, he'd always take me to LA to watch Dodger games - I have so many special memories from our trips down there together! They better win - fingers crossed.
10. I bought a really cute new journal and I'm excited to start journaling a few times a week!
