Fall is a mere week away and here in Kansas City, temperatures are finally beginning to drop. Everywhere you look, the leaves are turning beautiful orange and golden tones, storefronts are filled with cozy sweaters, and you can find a Pumpkin Spiced Latte in just about every woman under 35s hands. With signs of fall all around, I am ready to turn my attention to my home and find ways to bring the season inside. This autumn, I am drawing inspiration from the beautiful colors found in nature and filling my home with budget friendly and attainable items designed to add a bit of fall flair.

The Best Essential Oil Blends for Fall

September 12, 2018

The transition from summer to fall is generally a dramatic one that deserves recognition. One of my favorite ways to celebrate the changing of seasons is by mixing up the scents that I use around my home. While I tend to gravitate towards fruitier scents in the spring and summer, by the time autumn rolls around I find that I want to fill my home with warm, cozy scents to get me in a seasonal mood. This collection of the best essential oil blends for fall is full of rich, intimate scents certain to leave you feeling excited to celebrate the season ahead.

As with the collection of summer oil blends I previously shared, each of these blends can be made from a $20 set of 14 essential oils that you can purchase on Amazon. The cute little diffuser I personally use and recommend is $15. That means you can test out the advantages of using essential oils yourself for $35! I swear by both products and can attest to both their quality and durability. You can learn more about the fabulous benefits of using essential oils, and find links to my recommended essential oils set and diffuser, after the jump.

My back to school days might be behind me, but that doesn’t stop me from looking for fun ways to celebrate a time of year that was historically very meaningful to me. When I was growing up, the back to school season represented a fresh start. It indicated an opportunity to turn the page on who I was the previous year and embrace who I wanted to be going forward. Since I am all about celebrating new beginnings, today I am sharing my five favorite ways to get into the back to school spirit.

This Spicy Quick and Easy Jambalaya Recipe is No Match for Alka-Seltzer® PM Gummies!

September 7, 2018

I received compensation from Alka-Seltzer® to write this post. All opinions are entirely my own. #MyFoodMoment #CollectiveBias

I am unsure as to what prompted it, but over the last few years I have become positively obsessed with spicy food. Chili? Sign me up. Cayenne? I’ll sprinkle it on just about anything, thank you! While my previously bored taste buds are positively jumping for joy, I have to admit that spicy food comes with a few drawbacks, the main being that it has been known to leave me with occasional heartburn.

When I created this quick and easy jambalaya recipe for dinner a few weeks ago, I have to admit that I was initially reluctant to go heavy on the cayenne because there is nothing worse than being unable to fall asleep following a spicy meal due to occasional heartburn with sleeplessness. Thankfully, new Alka-Seltzer® PM Gummies came to my rescue! These delicious gummies make the perfect companion to any spicy nighttime meal, offering fast relief for occasional heartburn, all while providing melatonin to help whisk you off to sleep.
