September Favorites

September always seems like the longest month of the year to me…anyone else? I don’t know what it is but September just seems to carry on and on. But I’m not complaining because I have some pretty dang good favorites from this month and a lot of them – the first one being the cooler weather and fall vibes. I’ve already decorated for fall, pulled out my sweaters and boots, almost burned through my first fall candle, and purchased my first bag of Halloween candy…sue me, I love fall just as much as the next basic white girl. Here are a few more favorites that I think you will love! 

Things to WATCH:

Mulan – This is a beautiful movie. Don’t get me wrong, I love the original, animated movie, with the romance and the music, but I also thoroughly enjoyed this live action version. The scenery is stunning and I liked the new twists. It’s an easy watch. You can pay to watch it now on Disney+ or you can wait till December and then I think it will be free for everyone with a subscription. I definitely recommend it.

Enola Homes – Everyone needs to watch this movie. It’s on Netflix and has the most incredible, star studded cast, including Millie Bobby Brown, Helena Bonham Carter, and Henry Cavill. It’s a hilarious mystery surrounding Sherlock Holmes’ little sister Enola and I loved every minute. 

Get Organized with The Home Edit – You should not even be surprised that this show made it on this month’s favorites list. If you know me, you know I live for organization and neatness. It truly brings me joy to live in a clean space and to see others doing the same. This show is full of those incredibly satisfying before and after transformation clips, color coded everything, and time-lapsed organization montages…what more could you want? Give it a watch – it’s also on Netflix. 

Things to LISTEN TO:

Mulan soundtrack – Just like the movie, the soundtrack is gorgeous. Christina Aguilera sings two songs on the album – a new one called Loyal Brave True and a remake of the song Reflection from the original movie – as you can imagine, they are both absolutely stunning. I could listen to those two on repeat all day long. They also have a Mandarin version of Reflection which is just as beautiful. 

People to FOLLOW:

The Home Edit & The Neat Method – These are two Instagram pages that you have to follow if you love all things organization. They are both the epitome of “aesthetically pleasing” and will make you want to reorganize your entire home. The two gals from The Home Edit are also hilarious and often post laugh out loud stories…enough said.

Things to EAT:

El Pollo Loco Churros – You didn’t think we were going to end these favorites without a few new treats did you? Don’t be silly, I could never. The first item is extremely random and unexpected. I love churros and will try them just about anywhere that sells them. These are some of the best churros that I have ever had, dare I say, rivaling the ones found at Disney world. If you have an El Pollo Loco near you, please go try them. Hopefully they will be as warm and perfectly crispy on the outside, but soft on the inside (as they should be) so that you can understand the hype.

Creepy Cocoa Crisp M&Ms – These are unreal – I already love the regular crispy M&Ms – I either really like certain textures or I hate them and this is one that I love. I could eat an entire bag at one time (that’s why I bought 3 bags…whoops). They are also made with dark chocolate, which is another one of my favorites, so these are truly a win-win for me. Go try them before everyone else finds out how good they are!

Wow! If you made it to the end – congratulations. Who knew I could love so many things in one month? Let’s see if I can top these next month!
