In my heart and in my cart + other things


In My Heart -

+A PSA that Boo Buckets are back at McDonald’s. Honestly, I think I’m more transfixed by these than the kids are, but it takes me straight back to 1995 and that is a nostalgic serotonin boost that I refuse to miss!

+Has everyone seen “You Can See Everything”? Interest definitely piqued, but boy, I’m not sure about that 3 hour run time.

+I’ve been rewatching Only Murders in the Building from the start this fall and I’m about halfway through season 4. Gosh, what a treat it’s been! I need to start keeping a rewatch list in my notes app because revisiting stories from years ago has been so enjoyable.

+”Earth has bookstores AND thunderstorms AND potatoes AND whales AND people who remember exactly how you like your eggs. A frankly unreasonable amount of good stuff for one planet” - An extremely reassuring reminder from thetinyjoyproject on instagram.

+Secured this + this for my Halloween attire. It’s not really a costume, is it? I just like the combo and what is Halloween if not an excuse to wear a wig? My husband suggested I could parlay this into a Sadness costume, and I think he’s just totally spot on.

+Life lately in photo format:


In My Cart -

+Ooh a deep dive on American Girl. Say less!

+Corded headphones have never been so chic.

+There is still time for the Halloween puzzles. In fact, I’d say it is thee right time, right now!

+More spooky season finds, right this way!

+The blue (and the price!) on this crewneck is dazzling.

+The annual Sephora sale is coming up and I’ve got this on my watchlist.

+In the meantime, I still have a bottle of this from last fall and it’s exactly what I want to smell like right now.

+Also in the meantime, Amazon’s beauty sale is running and I’d like to grab this trio of minis to test-drive.

+These could be such a good gift, but mostly I just want them for myself.


Other Things -

+Currently reading and gals, I can’t put it down.

+Recently enjoyed scrolling through this carousel of film houses in autumn.

+A very important fun fact!

+A really great read for the moms: My mom isn’t in any of my favorite childhood memories

+A spooky snack mix to carry snack time all week and if there’s leftovers (lol, yeah right) I’ll bring it to share with other moms as we supervise trick-or-treating.


Addendums -
