You Don't Know Jack-O-Lanterns

Hey guys! I posted a couple of days ago about my half-assed attempt at decorating my apartment for Halloween. Well, it's definitely been feeling more festive around here lately! The cool weather outside and my new awesome cinnamon candle motivated me to finally carve my pumpkin.  Enjoy!




I found this Pumpkin Carving Kit I bought a couple years ago on clearance!  Cool!

Free Stuff is FUN!

Hey guys!  I've had really good luck this past week scoring some FREE stuff mainly by using offers I found online.  I know sample sizes aren't a big deal to some people, but I am on a tight budget and can rarely afford to try new products.  I got the Target Beauty Bag by "liking" their Facebook page during the giveway.  I also used Facebook to claim an offer on Bath and Body Works for a free mini candle!



Free haul.

Halloween at Home

Hey guys! I was pretty busy last week at work (yay, overtime!), but I finally found some time to make the house a little festive for Halloween this week. You don't have to go all out and spend a ton of money to make it feel like fall. I just put up an autumn leaf garland and change the throw on the couch and that does the trick. I also have a few sugared and ceramic pumpkins that I display around the house, too. I have a TON of Halloween and Christmas decorations, but I kinda feel less stressed when I hold myself back because then I don't have a lot of stuff to clean up when the holiday is over. 

 

I also really enjoy doing lots of crafts.  Unfortunately, I don't have any to show you here!  I just haven't had time for any of that this year, but I'm pretty satisfied with my last minute Halloween decor.  I'm hoping writing this blog will inspire me to get off my butt and do some crafting, at least for Christmas, maybe. 

 

It's actually a little cold here in Gainesville.  It was in the 40s this morning, and for Floridians that's pretty dang cold.  I'm planning on making some delicious vegetarian chili this week since we're actually having FALL WEATHER.  See you next time! 

 

Biggest bucket of candy ever!!!

Random Life in Photos

Hey guys!  Here are some pictures I took over the past couple of weeks that didn't really fit into my blog posts.  Enjoy!

And Now I'm Gonna be Totally Annoying...

Alright, so I know everyone doesn't really need to hear about Depeche Mode's new album and tour, but this is MY lifestyle blog, and I get to do whatever I want!  Nanny nanny boo boo!

DM's dressed in black again, and I'm falling down again.  Down to the floor again, I'm begging for more again.... Okay I gotta stop myself here.


OOTD: "A Case of the Mondays"

This is what I wore yesterday to work, and it was definitely the best thing about my day.  Everyone's seen that movie Office Space, right?  Well, I totally almost went ape-shit on all the computers at work.  I won't go in to all of the details, but basically we had new wi-fi installed and now nothing works.  Like, even the registers.  They were down indefinitely when I left last night.  Completely down to the point that we had to turn away customers because we couldn't ring them out.  Just crazy.

A Trip to the Flea

It's been a really long time since I've been to the flea market, so I was glad to go this past Sunday. I only had about twenty bucks I could spend, but it was still fun to get out of the house for a couple hours!

Where is everybody?

Galaxy Nails

I love nail polish!  I have about 50 different colors right now and I am always looking for more.  I like it because it's an inexpensive treat for me and a fun way to compliment my clothes.  Though I'm not an expert at application by any means, I still have fun choosing different color combinations and topcoats.  Here is my latest manicure I did earlier this week!

My First OOTD (Outfit of the Day)!

Okay, okay.  So I know this is not a REAL outfit post, but I figured it would be the best way to introduce myself.  This is a version of my uniform I wear around the house.  The first thing I do every day when I get home from work is change into my PJs, which I affectionately call my "softies" or my "jams".

Welcome!

Hi everybody, and welcome to Three Cats and a Lady... and my very first blog post!  This is my lifestyle blog where I will share with you what I'm wearing, what I'm eating, what I'm doing, and what I'm thinking (or not thinking, ha).  Anyways, I don't want to write a long boring introduction just yet... Meet my roommates... um, I mean my cats!
