pumpkin {season}

 Picking

Seeding

Carving

Fall is one of our favorite seasons and also means its
time for our favorite reason for the season; Pumpkin everything.
There are various phases in the f+g pumpkin guide
so we decided to share them today.

First, we carefully {and meticulously} chose the best pumpkin in the patch
 for the many purposes we had in mind for them.
 Good pumpkins can be pretty expensive, often being weighed by the pound
{and worth every penny}.
After we purchased the select "few" (carving, white and mini pumpkins), we deviously
 plotted this year's design, going with a one-eyed monster and Jack Skellington respectively. We then decided, we had to make good use the seeds for a special recipe.
We sprinkled brown sugar, cinnamon and powdered sugar for a sweet take on
the ever classic 'after-pumpkin-carving' snack.
It was a night certainly well spent with good friends.

suspended

Today, we're going back to 'braces' with suspenders.

  We can't help but throw a couple pairs of these in our fall wardrobe this year. 

 They are great with a skirts, shorts {with tights}, and pants.  We

are looking forward to playing around with all of the different 

outfits options with this trend.

DIY {Detox Water}

We have been on a bit of a binger lately with so much

going on in St. Louis; Fashion Week, Oktoberfest, and let's not

forget, Cardinals are in the post season.  To help us detoxify and 

make it through this week, we decided to make a batch 

 lemon, cucumber, and mint detox water.

What's so special about this lemon, 

cucumber and mint combo?

Not only does 'magic' water help to rehydrate your body, it also helps 

to cleanse and remove all of the toxins and impurities

from your body and liver and helps in digestion.

How?

+ Lemons: 

Lemon water makes a powerful ingredient in any detox

drink.  The citric acid in lemon juice helps to cleanse and alkalize 

your body, aides in digestion and boosts your immune system.

+Mint:

Mint not only adds a touch of of flavor without adding any

sugar, but it helps to settle your stomach and also aides in digestion

+Cucumber:

Cucumbers are among the most hydrating vegetables and contain most of

the vitamins the body needs in a single day.  They also

contain a compound called citrulline, which has been shown to

help the liver filter impurities and toxins.

For the best results,  make your water and let it sit overnight before drinking.

Cheers!
