Happy Halloween!

Hello Everyone!
Happy Halloween! I hope you all have a fun, safe, and candy filled Halloween. If you aren't going trick-or-treating, I have you covered. While studying, you can eat your favorite Halloween candy to stay focused and in the spirit. My personal favorite are the pumpkin shaped candies (made with honey) and Dove's Salted Carmel Chocolate (Yum!). Or, treat yourself to a Frappula from Starbucks. If you want to watch Netflix I suggest these Halloween themed Friends episodes. Double points if you bring along your candy and watch Friends. Other films include Hocus Pocus, and It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown! If you are wondering what I am for Halloween, I am a physician! I could be considered Meredith Grey (Grey's Anatomy) or Lisa Cuddy (House M.D). I want to be a pediatric cardiologist so this costume was quite fitting for Halloween!
Have a Spooktacular Day!

Central Perk October Edition

Hello Everyone!
My favorite TV series of all time is Friends. I have a whole Pinterest board dedicated to Friends, and I follow several Friends Instagram and Twitter accounts. In a nut shell, it's safe to say I'm a "mere fan of the show." If you know anything about Friends, you would know that everyday they get coffee from the Central Perk. 
What better way to share my love for Friends and my love for coffee! Each month or so, I will share with you all my favorite coffee of the month. This month, I have had several amazing cup of coffee. 

First, I had went on a study date with my friend to Starbucks.  I had a free drink, and asked what the largest size I could get was. Life hack time! You can get a venti, with extra shots, pumps etc! I was so shocked by this, and ordered a Venti Iced Carmel Macchiato with six pumps of vanilla and extra caramel drizzle. Shoutout to the Barista that made my drink because it made the blogger in me reach for my camera to snap a picture. It was so very good and I absolutely loved it. A few days ago, my mom and I stopped into Starbucks for a cappuccino. They recently started having almond milk in addition to coconut milk (shoutout to all my vegan readers). My mom and I did get the almond milk, and oh my goodness! It was very strong and it gave me a fall feel. 
Lastly, I love Califia Farms coffee. It is so nice to wake up in the morning and not have to go grab your coffee and just have it in your refrigerator waiting for you. Its cold brew, so you don't have a bitter taste which you can get with iced coffee sometimes. I'm 100% serious that I look forward to having my cup of coffee in the morning, and when I wake up its the first thing I do. 
I hope my coffee recommendations helped you guys out. Leave your favorite coffee brands/types below as I would love to try them! Also, if you haven't watched Friends take this as your sign to go watch a few episodes!
Enjoy!

Bucket List #1 Drink A Pumpkin Spice Latte

Hello Everyone!
Today, I am sharing with you guys the first bucket list task! The Florida heat has now been replaced with a much needed fall breeze. I understand people in the Northern part of the United States probably find this amusing, but us Floridians, its a step in the right direction. As you all know, I love coffee. However, I only drink almond and coconut milk. Well, because I only drink almond and coconut milk is how I found my favorite coffee! I drink the Califia Field milk, and they also make coffee products! 
If you are vegan, or can't consume dairy, this coffee is for you! It is extremely healthy and has several flavors. Personally, I purchase mine at Whole Foods for around five dollars. It has six, eight ounce cups of coffee in it, so it will last you about a week. The first flavor I tried was espresso, and oh my goodness! The flavor isn't bitter, and it tastes just like mocha ice-cream. And what you've all been waiting for, they also have a Pumpkin Spice Latte flavor. Again, it was so creamy and gives just enough caffeine. 
Needless to say, this bucket list number #1 is a success! I am so excited to be sharing my bucket list adventures with you guys, so stay tuned, and keep your eye out for more posts!

Southern Striped Fall Outfit

Hello Guys!
As much as we want to be able to bundle up with layers and layers, the weather is just not ready quite yet. Whether your transitioning into cooler weather, or cooler weather is not your future *cough* the South.  Regardless, I absolutely love this outfit! To me, it is straight from my fall Pinterest board. My striped dress is from Dilliards as well as my boots. My bracelets are Alex and Ani. I dutch braided my hair, which adds to the fall feel. Dutch braiding your hair is hard to learn, but once you do, it will become your go-to hairstyle. I hope the weather drops at least ten degrees in the next few days. Oh, a Florida Girl can dream!
Enjoy!

It's Pumpkin Spice Everything Season

Hello Everyone!
 Fall is my favorite season for so many reasons. The weather is beautiful and fall is home to some of my favorite months and holidays. Cable knit sweaters, bean boots and leggings, come to mind when I think of fall fashion. When I have time in fall, I love to put on fuzzy socks, download a book on my Kindle, and sip a hot cup of tea. 
To celebrate the first day of fall (September 22, 2016), there are several things you can do! I know I'm not the only one who loves the Pillsbury pumpkin cookies. They are the cutest size and taste delicious. Whenever I am at my grocery store, I always stop to see if they have them. I won't lie, the other day, when I saw them for the first time, I may have ran over to them as a child visiting Disney for the first time runs to the princesses. They bake in no time and are the perfect treat while doing your homework. 
The next thing you can do is have something pumpkin flavored! I know everyone loves the PSL from Starbucks, but that's not the only fall flavored item. Several other coffee restaurants serve pumpkin drinks, most of the time for cheaper. If your looking to make/purchase these items yourself, there are pumpkin creme cookies from Publix, pumpkin tea, basically, it's pumpkin spice everything season. 
The last thing you can do, is something I try to do everyday. I know we are all so very busy. But, I encourage you to start a new habit this Thursday for fall. Stop, take a moment and just enjoy the present. Take a walk outside. Play with your dog in the backyard. Look up at the trees and admire there leaves. Do this for a few minutes a day, and I promise you will be more productive. I challenge you all to do it for 21 days, just the time it takes to form a habit! 
I hope you all enjoy the first day of fall! Fall is a time of new beginnings so seize the opportunity. 
Enjoy!
