…that fall is coming.
The leaves on the oak trees in my front yard are already starting to change. Le sigh…
I’m not ready to say goodbye to summer.

I took Tabs out for a walk this morning and saw this bug hiding out in the front yard.
I think the color would make a pretty nail polish. Maybe something with a cream finish and lots of glossy shine? It could be called “Hidden Bug.” 🙂

I picked up these Roasted Plantain Chips on a whim at TJ’s, and all I have to say is holy frickin’ crap! So damn good. They’re salty, not sweet, and taste kinda like potato chips. NOM!



There’s something very Planet of the Apes about the monkeys on the bag; I wouldn’t be surprised if they were plotting revolution.

How are you with plants? Do you have a green thumb?

The LORAC Ooh La Lace Baked Shimmer & Matte Eye Shadow Palette ($36), available now exclusively at Sephora.
I’m kinda swooning over all the lace in LORAC’s fall collection! Even though the fabric packaging on this palette won’t be the easiest thing to clean, I sure do love how it looks.

Tabs’ personal fave is Curvaceous, because he’s all about curves.
