Hope everyone that is in school or college is having a great first couple weeks (or week, like me)! I know mine has been super busy with classes and sorority stuff, but that's just how it goes sometimes!
So I thought that I'd take a break and share some of my August favorites right now!
I just want to mention that this is by no means a "fall favorites." It just so happens though, that a lot of the items are fall related, mostly because I love fall. And I got a lot of it for back to school.
Candy Corn Pocketbac
So I kinda bought this stuff from Bath
and Body Works on a whim. See, I had a coupon for a free signature body care
item of my choosing if I spent $10. So since I was already spending like $5 on
some handsoap I needed for school, I decided to stock up on some of the cute
fall and Halloween pocketbacs. Candy Corn is the first one I’ve tried and so
far I’m in love! It smells maybe a tad more caramel than you’d expect, but it’s
so yummy smelling! I definitely recommend it!
Skunk Scentportable
He might seem a tad random, but this skunk Scentportable
holder is one of my favorite things I bought from the back to school shopping
trip to Bath and Body Works. See, it’s kind of a running joke with my family
since we have two skunks that have been pretty much calling our backyard their
home all summer. So, when I went to college, I wanted something to remember
them. Plus, I think it’s super adorable! It’s currently living on my sunvisor
in my car, and I absolutely adore it!
Leaves
Even though I showed the candles, I
picked up the scents in Wallflower and Scentportable form. Right now, leaves
resides in my car, and it seriously makes me so happy. It’s this refreshing,
but cozy, cinnamon apple smell (not what I expected, but that’s good!). Every
time I drive someone in my car, they always comment on how good it smells. And
I have to agree. After just having it two days in my car, I went right out and
brought another to stock up!
Pumpkin Cupcake
When I smelled this in Bath and Body
Works earlier in August, I instantly fell in love with this cozy sweet fall
scent. It’s like, spending time in the most amazing bakery ever. I love the
pumpkin, I love the sweetness, and it instantly makes me want to wear sweaters
and drink hot chocolate! Like leaves, I have gotten so many exclamations of how
great my room smells with it! This is something I also stocked up on after
trying it out!
Baby Lips Tinted Moisturizer in Cherry Me
I held out for the longest time with
this. But I finally gave in and bought it…and fell in love. It feels awesome on
my lips, which is sort of rare because I hate the feeling of lipgloss or
anything on my lips. I like the little pop of color too. Perfect for a busy
college girl’s morning!
Philosophy’s I Love Candy Corn Cleanser
This was one of my most anticipated back
to college purchases! And it’s so worth it! As you’ve noticed already, fall
smells are my weakness. Actually, fall ANYTHING is my weakness. And this Candy
Corn scent is perfect. It’s sweet, has lots of caramel in it, and makes me want
Halloween! The smell just engulfs the room when I shower and has a really good
staying power on my skin. Definitely a great purchase! Plus, I love how
Philosophy’s cleansers leave my skin soft, smooth, and most importantly: itch
free!
Lilly
Pulitzer’s Soft Cover Agenda in Multi Floral Punch
Yep, with the start of school, it’s
finally time for me to use this adorable planner! And I honestly, couldn’t ask
for more! I love the lines and spaces to write. The illustrations and pictures
and quotes just brighten my day! It’s so pretty and cute! Definitely my
favorite school supply that I bought. I must say, I think I’m now a true
convert from Vera Bradley Agendas to Lilly Pulitzer.
So
what were some of your August favorites? Let me know!
