How is it the end of September already? I felt like this month just started. Anyways, this month has had a theme- getting out of my comfort zone. It's scary to do but always worth it sometimes. So with all that being said, I'm going to share my favorite things from the month!
Favorite Ground Coffee (Seasonal):
When this coffee is available for the Fall season, I immediately run to the store to grab it; it's one of my true favorites. I find this coffee smooth and perfect- great to make as at home cold-brew coffee, too (I use 2 cups filtered water to 1/2 cup of ground coffee- add in any additional spices if you want- let it set overnight and rinse and strain through a small colander- have a bowl underneath when straining- and transfer to a to-go cup or a favorite mug and add in milk or cream and sugar if you choose to use it). Pick this up before the Fall season ends!
Favorite Fall Coffee Drink:
This drink I've had over the course of the month and loved it ever since it made it's debut. I live in Maryland and the drink is from a local place called The Lobby (outside of Chesapeake Church in Huntingtown, MD). Highly recommend the place if you want to try a new spot for coffee, tea, or whatever else you fancy (had to shout them out because they are awesome!) Anyways, the drink is called Fall Spice cold brew coffee- they mix pure pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice, cardamom, black pepper, and brown sugar and add in ice and cold brew coffee and your choice of milk (I usually do oat milk). The taste is impeccable- reminds me of pumpkin pie! Try it before the Fall season is over- you won't regret it!
Favorite Highlight from this month:
Visiting my Aunt of who lives in Virginia and I was ecstatic to see her and all of my other extended family members and cousins'. I hadn't see a lot of them in a hot minute so seeing them was so worth it. We went up (my mom and I) for my cousin's 4th birthday (her mom of who is my cousin and my aunt & uncle bought a house most recently up in Virginia as well)- rainbow themed (see 2nd picture) and it ended up being a nice party- rainbow cake and all! We had outdoor movie nights at my Aunt's house and just spent quality time there. I was a bit anxious / overwhelmed before going but it eased it tremendously. It was a nice short trip!
Favorite Songs:
"THNKS FR TH MMRS (Fall Out Boy Cover)" by The Maine- I heard this song and it was so beautifully done I was in such shock- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrVk4T9nDzc
"Record Player" ft. AJR by Daisy the Great: random find and I ended up loving it- such a gem!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyuIHyOBFsU
"West Coast (Lana Del Rey Cover)" by MISSIO: another cover that was breathtaking to listen to (I don't use that statement very often)- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mkqdzW2PUw
"wanna be" by jxdn ft. Machine Gun Kelly- fun tune all around- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8M5RTuh_bs
Favorite Quote / Bible Verse:
I kept seeing this verse pop up a bit this month! I think it was truly speaking to me on a deeper level- God knows His word and this was one of His that he gave to me this month.
Favorite Spotify Playlists:
"Pumpkin Spice"- the coziest blend of Fall music that is pure enjoyment to listen to (will link this playlist soon)- look up Pumpkin Spice on Spotify and I'm sure you will find it.
"Get Chores Done"- I was doing a bit of cleaning this month and I popped this on and it was a nice mix of throwbacks and other tunes I loved (will link this playlist soon)- look up Get Chores Done on Spotify and I'm sure you will find it.
Well, that's all I've got for this month- hope you all are enjoying the Fall season and staying cozy! Looking forward to what next month has to offer! Thanks for reading!
Sending lots of love & light,
Lauren
