Brace yourself, Pumpkin is Here

With the beginning of September we find ourselves facing many wonderful things that only come around this time of the year:

- Fall

- Cool Weather

- Sweater Season

- Looking like Han Solo

- Pumpkin Spices

- Cinnamon Spices

- All the bugs returning to the Netherworld


You probably already know by now (it is the 6th for Pete's sake), Pumpkin flavoring is Everywhere.

Pumpkin lattes, Pumpkin hot chocolate, pumpkin bread, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin cake, pumpkin scented candles, pumpkin air fresher, pumpkin body spray, pumpkin pumpkin food...... you get the idea.

There are dozens of recipes that are now flooding Pinterest based around said delicious fall flavor. I am going to give you the gift of Pumpkin Spice Cookies. The full recipe a friend of mine gave me - which she uses each year - which taste absolute delicious!

Time Off from Class

In my final post of August - the final post centering around school - I'm going to discuss something school seems to miss:

Time off.

While you get 'vacation days' every few weeks or so, it's good to take a few extra days off.

Keeping yourself fit and healthy is a great way to ensure that your grades don't slip, your on time, and you are continually looking your best.

There are dozens of things you can do on your Day Off:

1. Guiltless Netflix
     We all have friends that guilt us over how much we binge watch. If you are taking a 'You' day, don't let anyone tell you it's bad. Not only is it relaxing, but you can catch up on all those episodes. :)

2. Cookies
      Who doesn't love cookies from scratch? Or from the package. Fire up the oven and make up some of your favorite flavors, grab milk and hunker down with #1.

3. Music
      Have a Music Hour. Find that album you've been meaning to listen too, set up, and just let the music flood over your. It will be relaxing and fun.
