Fun Fall Photography

Bonjour readers!
I recently went to an apple orchard (and did not pick any apples, but bought apple cider donuts instead), and thought I'd do a little photography, because the last time I uploaded some pictures were from my Alaksa trip in July. (Click HERE to see the post about my trip.) So...here they are and I hope you enjoy them! ♡ 

Just the trail I was walking on...hehe!

Some apples (maybe rotten) on the ground. Tried to get the perfect
aperture and shutter speed but failed miserably. :P

The only pumpkin I could find that wasn't rotten
and/or wasn't taken over by an army of flies!

Beautiful autumn colors.

Autumn is my favorite season of all. The vibrant and colorful leaves, the food, HALLOWEEN, and a change in the climate☂, are some of several favorite aspects of fall. For those of you who miss summer and are dreading the arrival of winter, I encourage you to read this post to make your two months of fall enjoyable. For fall lovers like moi, please go on reading...

2) Hot chocolate with a few drops of vanilla and cinnamon

2) Fake leaves and place them anywhere (dresser, headboard) or a (fake) pumpkin

✻5 Ways To Have a Better Lifestyle✻

1) Organic food makes a huge difference in your life. Not everything has to be organic, for example, bananas, or fruits/vegetables you peel don't have to be organic. But milk, meat/poultry/seafood, eggs, and fruits like blueberries, strawberries, etc, should be. Click HERE for more information concerning organic food. Click HERE for what not to digest, when shopping for produce.

2) Exercise! A good amount of working out each week is about three and a half hours, so basically half an hour a day. Now, I understand that some of you might not be able to get that much, like me. I probably only exercise only two hours a week, but I try to get some fitness time into my schedule. Some great workouts are jogging, curl ups, yoga/meditating, or push-ups. And have a regular schedule and a separate time period, just for exercising. For more information, click HERE.

3) Candles are amazing. I love them. But, when you inhale the scent of a candle, you take in the chemicals, so the best option are the candles from the co-op. For more information, click HERE.

4) When you go to sleep at night, put your phone on airplane mode, otherwise, the radioactive waves affect your brain, which lead to brain cancer. Also, when talking on your cellphone, use the microphone on your headphones, so your phone is farther away from you, not directly next to your head. For more information regarding cell phone use, click HERE.

5) Doing all of the above is very important for your body. But socializing is also important for your brain, so therefore, this leads me to my fifth and final tip: socialize more! Plan get togethers for your friends and family, and/or get involved in the community. In other words, don't be an introvert! Click HERE for more information.

Have a great day,

Room Organization♨ & Room Decor Ideas



For just tiny random things, place them in a jar.
For markers or something like that, I bought a small bucket from Target for $1.

For more "pizazz" in your room, I bought a bowl from India,
 but you could use any bowl, obviously, and I also bought battery operated christmas
lights, which I believe, can be used all year.
What's fall without candles? Some candles can definitely spice up your room.
 I bought the star candle holder at IKEA for $.70 in the Christmas section, but I plan to use that all year. :)

This wasn't much, but I hope this inspired you for more ideas!
