Sweater Weather Tag- I Tag You!

I saw this "Sweater Weather" tag going around some blogs and Youtube, and I decided to take part. I wasn't tagged, but I'm doing it anyways, because I like living on the edge. I thought this would fun and different.

I changed up some of the questions because some of them included fashion questions about sweaters, boots/uggs, leggings/skinny jeans. I do not own any boots, uggs, leggings, or skinny jeans, and I don't really have a sweater either. I am so incredibly unfashionable I'd make some of you fashionable people cry. I own one little jacket/hoodie that I take out the 3 times of year it gets below 65 degrees in Florida.

1. Favorite candle scent?

Bath & Body Works Snow Day, Better Homes & Gardens Red Wood Pomegranate, and Better Homes & Gardens True Fall Splendor.

This is actually my second candle of Snow Day.I also have the plug ins! People describe this as Twisted Peppermint light. I loathe Twisted Peppermint, it is way too strong for me. Snow Day is a soft vanilla peppermint scent, with a fresh wintery air scent thrown in. I love it!

I'm very impressed with the Better Homes & Gardens candles! The smaller one I got for $4 and the larger one I got for $5 at Walmart. Red Wood Pomegranate is a fruity woodsy scent, and True Fall Splendor smells exactly like BB&W Leaves to me.

2. Coffee, tea, or hot chocolate?

I like coffee and tea, but I don't drink either regularly. I'm a decaf coffee drinker, and will drink maybe a cup 3 or 4 times a week.

3. What's the best fall memory you have?

I always remember going for long walks on Thanksgiving with my parents. We'd always go on short walks, but on Thanksgiving we went for like a 2 hour walk around our neighbor with our dog. I enjoyed the weather, the scenery, and the family time.

4. Which makeup trend do you prefer: dark lips or winged eyeliner?

I can't do winged eyeliner, I am completely eye makeup challenged. I do really like dark lips though. These are some of my favorite dark lip colors this season.

L-R: NYC Sheer Red, WnW Cherry Bomb, NYX Monte Carlo, and WnW Sugar Plum Fairy

5. Favorite fall fragrances?

L-R: Harvey Prince Yogini, Philosophy Inner Grace, Kate Walsh Boyfriend, B&BW Twilight Woods, and B&BW Winter Candy Apple

I love warm, rich, and sophisticated scents for fall and winter, and these all fit that bill. If you like those types of scents you'll appreciate these too!

6. Favorite Thanksgiving food?

This isn't traditional, but I love this squash casserole I make every Thanksgiving. The recipe is based off the squash casserole served at a southern food restaurant in Austin called, Threadgills (if you're in Austin you need to go here!). It's a yummy mix of a yellow squash, butter, cheese, green chili, and bread crumbs. You can find the recipe here.

7. What is autumn weather like where you live?

Autumn doesn't really exist in Florida. I would say it stays uncomfortable hot for most of autumn. When you get int he last month of autumn (which now) we can get milder temperatures in the upper 70's and low 80's. That is not autumn by any means, but it is a relief from the heat.

8. Must-have nail polishes for fall?

These are polishes I've been grabbing for lately. Yes, this was hard to narrow down.

L-R (starting at top): Cult Nails Lamestain, Revlon Chic, Orly Wild Wisteria, OCC Man by Man, KBShimmer Teal Another Tail, Zoya Pepper, and Cult Nails Time Traveler.

9. Is pumpkin spice worth the hype?

I would of said no, if not for yesterday. I've pretty much maxed out my pumpkin spice love last year. I overdid it, but then I found these beautiful morsels of joy yesterday.

Ghiradelli Milk Chocolate with Pumpkin Spice Caramel. OMG. I die. These are heavenly. You can find them in the holiday mix baggies.

10. Favorite fall blushes?

Milani Rose D'oro, WnW Heather Silk, WnW Spotlight Peach, and Milani Red Vino.

Wet n' Wild Shameless & ABC of Me

This next Wet n' Wild polish is a flea market find. I've had hit or miss results with flea markets, mainly misses sadly. This one was definitely a win though! This is an old polish, I think? Is this one still around? I have no idea when it was released or if it was in a collection. If anyone has info on that please share in the comments. :)

Shameless

Shameless is a grayed lilac with a pink shimmer.

Yeah, this is pretty awesome! I love the pink shimmer in this one it makes it unique. Like many other polishes I love, there is not much else I can say.  I can only say I love it, and it's great so many times. :P
