Ahhhh.......Apple Pie!

Ahhhh.... The sweet smell of a freshly baked apple pie!

There is just something so warm and comforting that goes along with an apple pie. It was my day off on Tuesday and it was a true fall day with the cool crisp air and partly cloudy which made it the best baking day.

I went back and forth on making apple pie and pumpkin muffins but settled on just making apple pie and I was so glad I did. One less dishes and I got to take my sweet time making it.

I put the recipe below the crust recipe and the filling I just made up as I went basing it off a normal apple pie filling recipe.



The final product might not look very pretty but boy does it taste good!

Lifestyle Favorite: Photography

With the first season of fall behind us (September 22nd) and the weather doing what it should, getting cooler and hopefully staying that way. I am finding a renewed love in one of my more current hobbies of photography. Yes I am by no means a professional and am just taking the photos with my little point and shoot digital camera. (Canon PowerShot A23000 HD), but I am loving it and find something so relaxing about just picking a random place on a map and going to take pictures.

Right now I am sticking to landscapes, nature, and photos or anything outside that is not a person. But who knows it could expand more, never say never right!?

I have only gone out twice so far to take pictures but with fall here I can not wait to go take photos of the leaves changing and everything that goes along with fall.

Here are some of the photos I have taken already:



Let me know what you love the most about fall!

Top Five Fall Nail Polishes



Awww.... September the time when leafs start to change color, the cool crisp air moves in and football is back in full swing. All this could only mean one thing is not to far away... FALL.

Fall is by far my favorite season next to spring I love the cool weather and of course not having to shave as much! (you understand right ladies?)

With the official start of Fall on September 22nd less than two weeks away I thought what a perfect time to start sharing my fall must haves or just my picks for fall. And since I am a nail polish addict, yes I admit I love nail polish even if it chips off my nails after two days. I wanted to share with you out of the polishes I already have my top picks for fall and one that I turn to each year around this time. This does not mean I will not go out and by more I have my eye out for a deep plum like purple but who said you can ever have to many nail polishes right :)

Some fun with lighting! Mainly moving my bedside lamp around :)



My first pick is Essie's Merino Cool  I have had this color for a few years now and fall more in love with it each time I use it. It is such a versatile color for most season but I love how it looks in fall with the reach colors. I thought I had a photo of this color on my nails but sadly I do not and want to get this post up so this photo is from Essie's website.

My second favorite is a polish I think I got around summer time a year or so ago and that is the Nicole By O.P.I Carrie Underwood Collection  polish in Goodbye Shoes. I love how this color is one that can be worn also in many other seasons but just is such a basic neutral color.



These next two are also Essie polishes no this is not sponsored by Essie I got these as a gift in a little sample kit but love each of the colors.

Next is Essie's Dress to Kilt . This is a true red but with a little deepness to it I feel like. I just think around the colder months you can not go wrong with a red polish. I just have a swatch of this color because I did not want to have to wait to put up this post.


Another one that I love for fall is Essie's Partner in Crime. This is a brown polish I have never owned a brown polish before but when I got it with this little sample kit I fell in love with it and even though its really only a color for fall I like how it looks with the rich fall colors.

Last but not least is my tried and true, always turn to for fall polish and that is Rimmel London's Lasting Finish Pro in Burgundy Flirt. I love this color and yes I have had it probably longer than you should (at least three years) but it's not clumpy and still looks great on so I keep it. It to me is just fall in a bottle color wise.

These are my top five nail polish colors for fall what is your go to nail polish for fall. Let me know below.


Happy Fall!
