Words are failing me as I try to write a clever and creative intro. Let’s just jump right into things! A big thanks to the lovely Amanda for hosting Thinking Out Loud!
1. Fall is coming! I think… Since it was a frigid 55 degrees yesterday morning, I wore one of my first sweater/boots outfits of the season. The boots are from Hautelook and are absolutely gorgeous, but I have to literally wrestle them to get the zipper up and over my muscular calves. They’re comfy and not overly tight when they’re on, but man, it’s like having an extra workout in the morning. The sweater is from Forever21 (like $15 bucks!) and is one comfy mofo.
Can we get an amen for that price? LESS THAN $40 PEEPS.
2. Also, throwback to a few weeks ago when I got my hair colored. I’ve never done anything like it in a salon with it before, so I was a little immature when they put my head in this spaceship helmet thing. What does it even do 😯 ?!
3. This music video. Taylor Swift is crazy and I love her for it. Also, that guy… hubba hubba 😯 . His glance at 19-21 seconds… *pass out*.
4. You know those recipes that are extra delicious because of the nostalgia you have over them? This lasagna fits right into that category! The recipe is from my Obachan (Japanese for grandma) and one that my mom grew up eating. It’s funny because it is the best “Italian” lasagna I’ve ever had, but it comes from a tiny asian woman and the secret ingredient is taco seasoning. Go figure.
5. Speaking of food, check out my new recipe on Savory Style! This one is for No-Bake Salted Caramel PopCorn, and it is to die for. My friend, Darinne, is making a huge batch of it sometime this week to hand out for some project she’s doing for our student health organization and you better believe I’m snagging 30 a handful 😉 .
Andddddd that’s all for now! I’m off to reply to some emails and study for a neurobiology midterm I have coming up on Monday. See all you beautiful babes later!
