Things I Love – September

Uncategorized

September 6, 2012

Fall is my favorite season of the year! I love summer, but for some reason, fall, with its crisp air and cozy nights just inspires me in a way that summer doesn’t. Fall is all of the good weather and good hair days that spring is, but without all the disgusting pollen and sinus problems to create drama. It’s also around this time of year that a switch inside me flips and I go into nesting mode!  I get hardcore into cooking dinners, cleaning, and all things domestic when the weather starts to cool down. Just me? No?

So, what does all of this have to do with anything? What does it have to do with the GIVEAWAY?? Well, one of my favorite stores (Target) is selling a special line of one my favorite cleaning products (Method). A couple of years ago I started having headaches all the time, so I switched up all of our cleaning products and started using eco friendly products exclusively. Method is one of my favorite brands (the other is Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day, if you care) and Target recently started carrying a line of Orla Kiely Method products!! I picked up the Pear Ginger scent for myself!  I really love the fruity but still fall-like scent, but what I REALLY like are the cute patterns the bottles come in. I’m a sucker for cute packaging…just ask the EOS lipbalm I bought because it was in a sphere.

This month’s giveaway is three handwashes from the Orla Kiely Method line…the pear ginger, bay leaf, and primrose, which makes me think of the Hunger Games, another one of my favorite things! You can think of this one as a twofer 🙂 Ha!

To enter to win, all you have to do is leave a comment on this page with what your favorite season is and why. I will pick a random winner on Monday!

  3. Lindsay says:

    Yesss!!! Fall is my favorite season too! I love an excuse to drink apple cider and pumpkin lattes and make pumpkin bread till my neighbors are SICK of it! Also- I’ve got a killer pumpkin martini recipe that can only be busted out in the Fall! Target is my favorite store and I’m obsessed with Mrs. Meyer’s clean day hand soap (basil scent- AMAZING) but I haven’t tried Method yet! I’d love to! Thanks for hosting a giveaway in the middle of your your insane life re-arranging time!!

    THE BEST GIVEAWAY! Haha. Fall is my favorite season, hands down. Hoodies and boots and PSL. I want it all.

  5. Sabrina says:

    Oh! I saw these the other day but since I just stocked up on a sale at Bath & Body Works, I couldn’t justify buying MORE handsoap! But I love them. I don’t know that I have a favorite season because by the time the next season rolls around, I’m just ready for it. Although, fall may be in the running for the top one because while I love being warm, I also love wearing jeans and long sleeve t-shirts with flip flops. Spring might be a close second 🙂

  6. Amanda Thomas says:

    YES! Sweaters, moccasins, PSLs (forever) and PUMPKINS. Please believe my front porch will have mums and pumpkins all over in in a matter of weeks. This is a most excellent giveaway.

    Giirrrll, we are kindred spirits. I adore Fall, I get it from my Mama. Growing up, she always made SUCH a big deal about Fall, pulling out Pumpkin scented candles and hand soaps as soon as labor day arrives. Now that I have a home of my own for the first time, I did the same 🙂 It isn’t just you, I’m also into the cooking and cleaning and making home feel all the more “homey” during this season. Matt and I are even starting a new tradition this Fall, “Souper Sunday,” where each Sunday we make a different soup recipe! Yum! 🙂

  8. Zuko says:

    Those are so, so cute! My favorite season is fall too. I’m not a fan of the heat so when fall comes along, it always feels like such a relief. I love the smell and crisp feel of the cooler air, the crunch of leaves underneath my shoes, and the beautiful fall colors. Halloween and Thanksgiving are also two of my favorite holidays (for one, I get to dress like I act and for the other, great food and company. What could be better?!)

  9. Tina Tabibi says:

    I enjoy Fall/Winter months the best. Although, I’m not a fan of the colder temps, I LOVE the Thanksgiving + Christmas holidays, sweater weather, boots and anything pumpkin flavored!

  10. Shawna says:

    The bottles are so cute! I do love Summer, my favorite season is definitely fall. I love the brisk sweatshirt wearing nights. I love when the leaves change, such beautiful colors. 🙂

  11. Kristy says:

    I LOVE everything about summer (it is even my middle name:-). I am a beach bum and love the sand between my toes and the sound of my kids splashing and laughing. Although, I am a sucker for fall as well. As you have stated it does turn me into super domestic mode, it is so easy to just want to clean and cook when it is too cold to go outside. Also, fall and winter clothes are just so much fun to mix and match.

    My favorite season is also Fall. I love the crisp weather. How there is a bite in the air when the weather starts to cool down.Wearing jeans and goodies are I think the most comfortable clothes and the absolute perfect tme to wear them.I love all the autumn good smelling things. Since Halloween is also in Fall I love it even more. Carving pumpkins is one of my favorite traditions. Sitting and waiting for trick or treaters with some hot spiced cider is just about the best thing. Not to mention my near baking obsession I have when it gets to be this time of the year. I love cooking a full Thanksgiving dinner! Am I crazy? Maybe so but there is just something so calming and centering about a house full of good smelling things and knowing that you prepared it all for others. 🙂

    I love fall because of time with family, hot chocolate dates, apple cider, brisk nights.

    I love FALL too…I love the clothes I get to start wearing (like scarves, cardigans and boots!), the changing leaves, taking long walks in the cooler weather, Hokie Football, yummy hot starbucks drinks, and I love the fall holidays like Thanksgiving:).

  15. Tara Shaw says:

    I would have ordinarily agreed with everyone and said fall because of the beautiful weather, the pumpkin spice lattes, and the comfy clothes, but this year I have a whole new reason to love the fall. My husband is supposed to be home some time this fall from his deployment and I can’t wait to see him. Now if he comes home this winter…I will have to change my answer, but for now I am especially dedicated to the fall season!

    I have a fondness for all the seasons but, for me, winter has magical moments. The early morning sun in a bright blue sky causes new snow and the entire world to sparkle. It’s as if all the ugliness of the world has disappeared and the world is fresh and new again. While I admit that I don’t like spending hours in freezing temperatures, taking a little time to go out for a walk, build a snowman or go sledding inspires the kid in me and just keeps the magic going! And snow on Christmas day…It will take me weeks to come down from that joy! Maybe dealing with a some cold temperatures isn’t so bad if we get to see a magical moment…and we can gripe about driving in the snow and ice tomorrow!

  17. Anna says:

    I love the fall seasn…..and the winter season. Those pesty bugs start to hibernate and the leaves start to change. It’s just as colorful as spring time but with out the allergies. You can wear jeans and a tee, boots and a sweater, layers, cover ups and scarves. It’s the official cuddling season, where body heat is totally allowed without being to sweaty from the outside heat!

  18. jenna says:

    Halloween! I LOVE looking at all the Halloween costumes and candy and decorations. It Is such a fun holiday!

  19. Hannah B says:

    I love Spring! I just love all of the newness and warmth outside after being cooped up indoors all winter:) I don’t have allergies so that helps.

  20. Sheaulee Ng says:

    FALL! Hands down. I love being able to wear boots and light layers without being too hot/cold. The brisk weather and leaves changing colors. Our anniversary. Ah so many reasons 🙂

  21. toviah says:

    Fall! Cool evenings outside with no bugs!

  22. Sirena says:

    I love the end of summer when its cooling down but still warm outside. Summer is usually when we plan a lot of fun activities and vacations. 🙂
