Happy Fall friends! We finally got some cooler autumnal weather here in California so I took advantage and pulled out some of my recent finds. Today I'm sharing with you one of my favorites and some of my 5 fall favorites from food to podcasts. Let me know what your favorites are this time of year!
I'm having a moment with striped sweaters right now and grabbed three in the past week alone, whoops! But I think the color blocking & stripe combo is such a fun trend for fall. I recently picked this beauty up on Amazon and it was such a great deal! I've seen nearly identical versions on boutique websites for almost three times the price for pretty much the exact same quality. It is breezy and lightweight so it is perfect for this mild California weather over here. It is oversized already so don't size up. I'm wearing a small, but could have easily gone with an XS if they had it. There are also a bunch of other color combinations available and I found this in a cardiacs style as well so b sure to check them out.
Favorite Podcast
I took a break from the crime podcasts for a little bit because I found myself getting a little bit too paranoid, but I couldn't stay away for long! I have really been enjoying the Jensen and Holes Murder Squad podcast that debuted earlier this year. If you are a fan of My Favorite Murder then you may already be aware of who these guys are, but their style is completely different from Georgia and Karen and they really make you feel like you can be a part of solving whatever crime they are working on that week. Their delivery is unique and I have really been enjoying it!

Favorite Fall Show
Have you ever heard of Chesapeake Shores? I don't know why more people don't talk about this show. I love to binge it during the fall time and take in their beautiful views and wholesome family dynamic. It is better than your typical Hallmark show in that it isn't about perfect people and their perfect lives, but deals with their struggles and regular life dramas while still in beautiful Hallmark fashion. These three sisters are so much fun to watch and their small town lives are gorgeous and enviable. I highly recommend this show if you're sick of the petty and obnoxious drama that plagues our TVs these days. This is just some good ol' quality tv!

Favorite Fall Food
You're gonna hate me when I say this, but I don't really love pumpkin spice flavored anything. I know, I'm sorry. It's just not my cup of tea. I do enjoy some of the seasonal pumpkin flavored foods available this time of year, though. One of my favorite is the Autumnal Harvest Pasta Sauce from Trader Joes. The flavor is amazing and just feels so fall. Grab it next time you're in Trader Joes!

Favorite Fall Discovery
The Grove Collaborative is a company I had never heard about, but I recently saw an ad for a free 5 piece Mrs. Meyers set and it got my attention. It turns out they are a company that sells only clean and safe products ranging from home cleaning products to skincare. I already buy the Mrs. Meyers spray cleaners and liquid soaps so I clicked and have been hooked every since! I love the fall scents that Mrs. Meyers has so I ordered all three of them, but the Apple Cider has to be my favorite. They also have my Seventh Generation Detergent for cheaper than I get it at Target and a bunch of Method cleaners that I use all around my home. So I was able to get a bunch of products from them that I already use, but for a better deal AND get a bunch of free stuff. Score! Then you can set up how frequently you want them to replenish your favorites. I chose every other month, but may change it if that's too soon. You can take advantage of their deal too and pick up some of your favorites or discover some new ones.

Random Favorite
I've had my Bissel Icon Pet Cordless Stick Vacuum for about a month now and I couldn't be more obsessed with it. If you have a pet or two, especially if they are long haired, then you NEED this in your life. I loved our Shark Apex for years and thought it was doing a really good job until I got this Bissel vac and put it to work. I had used the Shark earlier in the day in the living room, but the Bissel managed to get an INSANE amount of fur out from deep in the carpet. I was amazed at how much fur that wasn't visible was still trapped in the carpet. For a few days I just went around vacuuming everything with it because suddenly my home felt filthy. I got so much fur out you guys! The vacuum is cordless and very light so it's easy to use it with the attachments to get dust and fur off tall shelves and ceiling fans without any issues. If you have pets this is the vacuum you need!
