Another month gone..

Hooray - fall is coming! That means spice smells filling my home and boots for days. I love fall, it is my favorite time of year, for real. And as the calendar continues it is time to revisit my goals for August and set new ones for September.

So, to recap last month:

Goals for August

Blog:

1. Post at least 3 times a week, REGULARLY  By the end of the month I was posting almost 5 times a week regularly.
2. Do at least one outfit post - and get the hubs to photograph it - I failed, Carrying it over to September.
3. Get all of my social media connected to my blog and public worthy - I believe I made some pretty good progress on this one but not completely satisfied yet.

Home:

1. Decorate my living room walls - they are so bare! I didn't get my living room done, but I did decorate my kitchen and completely overhauled my guest bathroom.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
2. Organize the cabinet in my bathroom - it is ridiculous right now. DONE! It isn't perfect but it is so much better!
   

Fitness:

1. Run 20 miles over the course of the month - Not quite and by not quite I mean no where close -5 miles for the month UGH!
2. Lift at the gym at least twice a week - I did this most of the month but when I started to feel sick I fell off the wagon.

Life:

1. Plan at least two date-nights for Nate and I
2. Work on how personally I take things sometimes - I feel like I did well this month!
3. Stay better connected to my sister as she starts her first year of college - so far so good!

Friday's Favorites | August 15

Happy Friday everyone!

I feel like this week has perhaps been my most successful so far in regards to blogging and I have you all to thank for that. I am going to keep working at posting regularly and sharing things that are helpful to everyone, but I need your help to do so. Keep reading, follow me on my different social media sites and comment to let me know what you think about my posts!

In the spirit of the end of the week the beginning of the weekend, here are my favorite things I found/refound this week!

This lipstick was possibly my first lipstick purchase once I really started getting into makeup, and it has been one of my favorites ever since.  

Bavarian Creme | Bare Minerals

These pillows are absolutely perfect - Nate and I say this or some version of these words a lot and I want them (and for only $24 from Nordstrom I can't pass them up)!

Levtex "For Always/For Ever" Pillowcases

This is the best beauty trick I have found lately and I can't get enough. Every night this week I have used my lavender baby oil to take off my eye makeup. It is super gentle and smells amazing. Lavender is supposed to help you sleep at night too so there is another positive!

J&J Baby Oil

I seriously can't get enough of this song. Every time it comes on in my car I blast my radio and sing as loud as possible. Fingers crossed no one ends up in my passenger seat when it happens again.

Lastly, this app has been my favorite thing as I work toward my running goal. Did you miss that? You can see my goals for the month here.

Nike+ Running

That's all! Hope you have a great weekend!
