We’re just about halfway through October now and despite it being in the 70s in Colorado, I am fully embracing the season and everything that comes with it. I’ve already talked a little bit about my love of pumpkin-flavored everything and Pumpkin Spice drinks (literally bought PSL coffee creamer yesterday Read more…
September is here! That means it’s time for the fall season (I had my first Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino this morning) and it’s time to get cozy with sweaters and tea. Life has been a bit crazy lately with travel and a brief bout of sickness, but I’m ready for Read more…
