Yesterday really felt like Fall down here in the South. The weather was cool and I loved finally getting out of the house.
After finishing up some work emails, I headed to Taco Mac to have lunch. I split a Southwest Wrap. I’m all about splitting meals when it comes to dining out. I never finish the whole plate anyways, unless it’s a salad.
After dining out, Emilee and I went to the mall. I spent a half hour in Bath & Body sniffing all the candles and getting some new fall scents. I can’t exercise yet until I’m cleared, but a little mall walking felt good.
I got hungry later in the afternoon and bout one of those Fruit & Nut bars at Starbucks. It was the Toasted Coconut Pineapple & Almond flavor. It was ok, but I didn’t like the pineapple flavor, and I love pineapple, so that was strange.
I saw these cute earrings and packaging at Francescas and fell in love! How fun would this be for a stocking stuffer? Yes, I ‘m already thinking about Christmas.
Which one of the Bath & Body candles is your favorite? Mine is the pumpkin cupcake, butternut rum latte, and caramel corn.
I just happened to open a book at Urban Outfitters and this is what it said….
What’s worse than not losing 5 pounds fast?
Not losing the 5 pounds while starving.
Want to look better naked?
Then fuck fad diets. You look better when you’re happy.
And counting the calories in a Triscuit is as fun as nothing.
So go for a run or ride your bike or sweat to the oldies, just don’t sweat the cream sauce or the cookies.
Lose 10 pounds or don’t.
Skinny is only skin deep & your skin looks great.
I want to paint this and stick it in my kitchen. I love this attitude.
And speaking of painting, I was inspired by this canvas at Urban Outfitters.
Later in the evening I made spaghettis squash with pasta sauce, parmesan, and roasted vegetables. Grumples is one of the cutest beggars ever…even though I know it’s wrong.

Taralynn! I did the same exact thing 2 days ago. I went out for some shopping therapy, and started Christmas shopping 🙂 Never too early for Christmas!!!!!

The book is called, “Girl Talk: Unsolicited Advice for Modern Ladies”.
Nicole says
Thanks Ali! I was wondering the same thing (what the name of the book was).
Sounds like a worthwhile buy 🙂
