Five for Friday – October 3

October…it’s October already?!?  Wow…next thing you know it will be the winter holiday season.  This week has been a bit different for me.  I started a 31 Day Challenge #write31 days, which I will detail below.  I also was laid off from my current position as Director of Marketing.  Unfortunately I am a product of the ebbs and flows, as I was told, of the industry and this company in particular.  I have loved my time there – my boss was nothing but spectacular and motivating and empowering; I adored my team; and I have a lot of great experiences and memories to hold dear.  On to the Five for Friday…

So as I mentioned above, I have accepted a blog writing challenge.  I am so excited about this…and nervous.  This is the first time I have committed to writing for 31 days straight AND about one topic in particular.  I thought for a bit as to what I would write about, and with the help of my dear friend and fellow blogger, Tara, I decided on Fashion for the Budget-Conscious Busy Woman.  I LOVE to shop – ask anyone that remotely knows me.  I pride myself in “smart” shopping – loving the trends and designers – but living in the now of budgets and reality.  I would love if you followed by journey and provided input…I look to you, my reader!

Weird Things Couples Do on Movie Night: This video really made me laugh – a few times – it resonated on so many levels.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, as you may know.  What are you planning on doing to help the cause?

I have a black thumb, minus some lone survivors, when it comes to plants.  I wish I didn’t – don’t get me wrong!  I found this great infographic below that I hope will guide me, and you, in growing herbs that will live!
