I know it's early and all...

But I'm getting very excited for FALL....and for CHRISTMAS!! :)

Silly, I know! I think part of it has to do with the fact that I've done NOTHING FUN AND SUMMERY...all summer. June and July absolutely flew by. I went to one barbeque....that's the only fun summer thing I've done.

And you guys know how advertising is...they start early. So these are the things I'm excited for....

Don't those all sound AMAZING?!?! I adore the Slatkin & co candles. They don't last very long but they smell amazing. Chris and I just bought a fragrance called "Fireside" that we absolutely adore. :) Check that one out too.

I am STOKED for fall parties. I think part of why I'm excited for these seasons is because it will be Chris and my second round for fall and winter. Last year, I was in hibernation - learning how to survive. Now, I'm out of that funk and ready to celebrate!
