I’ve bumped into your site more than three times in search of self love blogs, I thought it was a sign I should start following you! I love how colorful it looks and immediately uplifts my spirits! I’m Sethu, a South African blogger who wants to make her mark and put myself out there in a beautiful way somehow. Im also still trying to figure myself out.
Aw that’s so great to hear, thank you so much for taking the time to tell me that! I really appreciate it. It’s nice to meet you, Sethu! What are you passionate about?
This list is hilarious!!! I love that you mixed in legit fall suggestions with ridiculous ones – I think it makes it all that much more entertaining because you’re not expecting it. I also love that you included “learn about the real history of American Thanksgiving” – so important. ๐
how many times is “put googly eyes on everything” on this list? Is it really a fall thing or just a Mary thing?
Also the broken broom?!?!? I died!!! soooo funny! hahahaha
