Happy Fall Survey!
Yesterday was the official first day of FALL! It's definitely getting chillier in Pittsburgh- particularly in the mornings and evenings. I'm pulling out my hoodies and jackets and loving it!
In honor of fall, I thought it would be fun to do a survey. I'm a big YouTube junky, and saw that Jaclyn Hill posted a video with a bunch of fall questions and thought it would be fun to answer them. Enjoy, and happy fall!
1: Favorite Fall Candle?
I just got my first WoodWick candle, and I'm obsessed now! I love the soft flickering sound, and they smell amazing. Right now I'm burning a triple layer candle that has Vanilla Gourmand, Toffee Brittle and Toasted Marshmallow. AMAZING! It smells like a bakery in my apartment when I burn this!
2: Favorite Fall lip color?
Rimmel Kate Moss in 107. I'm still a little nervous about wearing dark colors, but this one is so gorgeous and goes on really smoothly. It lasts all day and is really cheap! Perfect way to test out the darker lips!
3: Favorite Fall drink?
Spicy Chai Tea Latte from Trader Joes! I mentioned this mix months ago, and I'm still obsessed. I think it's perfect for fall (and I'm going to try it with Pumpkin Spice creamer!). I also lovvee apple cider...whether it's cold or warmed I'm obsessed!
4: Favorite Fall blush?
I only own a few blushes (I feel like they all look the same on my cheeks!) so I would have to pick my favorite one- Mac Warm Soul. It's a gorgeous rosy/coral shade that looks great on just about any skin tone!
5: Favorite Fall clothing item?
Express Minus the Leather jacket. I got this in the spring before my trip to Europe, and I know I'm going to be wearing it constantly this fall.
6: Favorite Fall movie?
I'm not really a movie person, so I have to pass on this one!
7: Favorite Fall TV show?
There are so many shows that I am so excited for this fall. Scandal and How to Get Away with Murder are at the top of my list. I'm also interested in Scream Queens, which is starting this week as well!
8: Favorite Fall Thanksgiving dinner?
I love oyster stuffing and cole slaw. My family makes a special type of cole slaw that isn't mayo-based. It's tangy and sweet and crunchy...the absolute best combination! And oyster stuffing is something that I only have at Thanksgiving. I love all stuffing, but there's just something about the oysters that make it 100x's better.
9: Favorite Halloween costume you have been?
My mom made some really creative costumes when I was younger (including a lily pad and a Christmas present) but my favorite costume was when I was Google Maps with a friend at work. It was a really simple costume to make and I thought it turned out really cute! Enjoy this holiday greeting card:
10: Who else should do this survey?
Jamie, Gina, Meredith, Heather, Suzy, Amanda, Jess and all you other bloggers out there!
Your turn! Answer a question (or 10) in the comments!

Your turn! Answer a question (or 10) in the comments!
Love this survey! I have to work it into my blog schedule! I don't love the movies either, I wouldn't be able to answer that question I don't think without really thinking about it.
ReplyDeleteYay! I would love to hear your answers! And I'm happy to hear I'm not the only one who doesn't like fall movies.
DeleteI just picked up a Woodwick in gingered pumpkin, gingered apple and pear, and pumpkin orange spice. Love the spicy scents for fall.
ReplyDeleteI think we got the gingered pumpkin layered candle as well! Can't wait to burn that one next :)
DeleteI was thinking I need to buy a candle to get some of the fall feeling down here! Good suggestion :)
ReplyDeleteYES Emily!! Do it! Or come up north for the weekend and get some real fall exposure :)
DeleteOh my god, your Google map costume is hilarious! I love it.
ReplyDeleteThanks!! It was so fun, cheap and easy. Best of all worlds!
DeleteThe Google map costume is absolutely brilliant. My best halloween costume was when I turned a big cardboard box into a washing machine and stapled dirty socks to the outside of it and then I cut a hole in the head and arms and legs. I was only like, 10 so I got huge points for creativity. I need to find that blush. I have such a hard time finding the right shade that doesn't look wonky on me!
ReplyDeleteThanks Suzy! I love that idea and I can't believe you came up with that so young! Amazing. You should definitely give that blush a try! It's great!
DeleteI'm obsessed with that costume... so creative!! I can't wait to do the survey :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Jamie! Can't wait to see your responses :)
DeleteTHAT CANDLE! I want it. I love anything and everything toasted marshmallow. Also totally aboard the leather jacket train.
ReplyDeleteHave you tried bath and body works marshmallow fireside? All time favorite candle!!
DeleteOh Fall. It's still quite warm so I'm not in to fall yet, though I really want to be. I was told Sur la Table has a baking mix for apple cider donuts...
ReplyDeleteSame here..it's still been in the 80s all week! What's up with that! BRB..on my way to pick up that mix...sounds amazing!
DeleteOooomg a triple layer candle that smells like a bakery?! DANGEROUS! I'd seriously try to eat the air with a spoon lol. And thanks for tagging me in this! Given how much I love fall, I'm definitely going to have to try to work this in somehow.
ReplyDeleteYay! I can't wait to see your responses..I thought you would like it:)
DeleteLove the Google maps costume! Super creative. I'm enjoying anything to do with pumpkin right now! Coffee, Yogurt, Bagels. I also have a pumpkin pie candle.
ReplyDeleteSame here! I went overboard on pumpkin last night at trader joes...I'll be talking about it tomorrow ;)
DeleteHahaha your Halloween costume is genius! I haven't found a fall candle that I love yet. I'm allergic to a lot of scents, especially if the candle is made of chemicals, so I have to be really careful what I buy. I'm trying to stick to only US-made, soy candles, but can't find one that I like! I love the smell of pine, although that's more of a winter smell :)
ReplyDeleteI also bought a faux leather jacket before I went to Europe and I can't wait to bring it out this fall too!
Pine is a great scent! I'll definitely be picking some up after Halloween! Faux leather jackets are amazing. Where is yours from?
DeleteI love the pumpkin marshmallow candle at Bath and Body works. I am looking at making a fun costume to run in this year. I love nuetral colored lip color. My favorite drink would be hot chocolate..

That candle sounds amazing! Can't wait to hear what costume you come up with :)
DeleteI love your leather jacket!! And I've been getting through How to get away with murder on Netflix so I can catch up in real-time this season!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dani! I hope you love the show as much as I did!
DeleteI started to watch Scream Queens tonight and I just couldn't get into it. I turned it off after the girl fell over after getting a spray tan. Perhaps it got better after that?
ReplyDeleteI love Woodwick candles... the one you got sounds AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteThat Mac blush looks so gorgeous!! Make-up products so much fun....just not for my bank account haha
