The Start of My Pumpkin & Fall Obsession..

I think because I live in the sunshine state, I tend to dive into fall like items pretty hard. Living back in NY, I know Fall was by far my favorite time of year, I loved the crisp air, wearing hoodies with a broken in pair of jeans, hot apple cider, leaves changing, wearing hats, windows open and PUMPKIN!!! Everything and anything PUMPKIN. Due to the fact it was just a way of life back home, I just went it with it, took it for granted, but living here in Florida, I have to tell you I really miss Fall and all that it brought. I live through seeing other peoples Instagram and Facebook posts about the fall, apple picking, pumpkin patches and the release of pumpkin coffee, cookies, etc. So when I find stuff that reminds me of home I go nuts and get everything they sell, I do have some limits I'm sure, just haven't found it yet.

Considering it is only September 2, I have to pace myself, I have a good 2 months before the Christmas obsession sets in. We went to Target yesterday and I beelined to the fall section and found my heaven. I seriously was walking up and down the aisles trying to find anything that was fall, apple or pumpkin related.

Here are some of my favorite finds thus far...


It was a whole section of fall flavored coffee!! Ahh, in heaven! Caramel Apple, Candy Corn, Hot Buttered Rum and Pumpkin Spice.
I went with the Candy Corn, because I was so intrigued! Next will be Hot Buttered Rum, it reminds me of my Favorite Yankee Candle, Candle.


Target was running a great sale on the Dunkin Donuts coffee, buy 2 get a free DD mug. Well I am a sucker for anything free and I love coffee mugs, I collect them, so this was a win win for me, especially because DD has the best pumpkin spice coffee, EVER, and Apple Pie seems right up my alley!


As stated I went with the Candy Corn coffee, along with the DD two flavors, then I found SUGAR FREE pumpkin Spice coffee syrup (which I use in more than coffee) and my favorite Yoplait light yogurt, Pumpkin Pie for 2pp!

This is just the start, I spotted a tons of other great items, but I have to pace myself, lol. I'll give myself a couple of weeks and then the apartment will be covered in everything fall, Halloween and coziness, even if it 90 degrees outside!

Low Point Apple Crisp

Image
At my Weight Watchers meeting yesterday, my leader told me about a low point apple crisp and I couldn't resist making it today. I love apple crisp, I don't have it often or really at all, because it can be high in points and frankly I like low maintenance  baking, so when I can find something easy and quick and low in points, well I am all game!! This apple crisp is again so easy and quick, perfect for a craving, a family gathering, party or just to have around the house. Requires only 3 or 4 ingredients to prepare this and you might even have all of it in your house right now. Apple Crisp Serving Size 4 4pp for a serving 4-5 medium apples 2 packets of Cinnamon or Maple Brown Sugar Oatmeal (preferably one that are 100-120 calories or 3pp) 8 oz of Diet Sprite or Diet 7up 5 sprays of Can't Believe It's Not Butter 1tsp of light brown sugar 8x8 baking pan Here is what I used: I actually used 5 apples because I

Perspective: My Trauma, Fear and Rejection

Well we have made it through another week of CoronaVirus, Stay Home, Social Distancing of 2020. I honestly have no clue what to call it, other than that. Today, has been 2 weeks since we closed BBW and shut down the store. Originally we had some high hopes we would have been open by yesterday, the mall sent an email saying they weren't going to open until the 19th, and then Pres. Trump extended the Social Distancing until the 30th. I honestly have no clue when I am going back to work. I am literally just trying to take it day by day and moment by moment, and week by week. I have been surviving and also Thriving during this process. I am a child of hard things. I have been through some tough shit in my day, and maybe I will get to that at some point, but we can save that for another post. Today the idea of Perspective is in my brain. If you don't know, which I am sure you do know if you follow along with me, but Rachel Hollis, whom is one of the many people I look

Chobani Flip: Key Lime Crumble

Image
First off I love yogurt!! I love low fat yogurt, flavored, Greek, plain, all kinds!! And I am always out looking for what is new and exciting in the yogurt world, I know I lead an exciting life!! So when these Chobani Flips came out, I was all about it. Unfortunately, I couldn't find them here in Florida right away, when I went home in March to New York, I was able to find them and I fell in love. There are probably at least 10 different kinds of flips, vanilla with oats, pineapple with coconut and walnuts, blueberries with chia seeds and walnuts, coconut with dark chocolate and toasted almonds, peach with dark chocolate chips and pistachios, and my favorite key lime with white chocolate chips and graham cracker pieces. The flip part of the yogurt is the cup is split up into to two sections. One section holds the Key Lime Low Fat Greek Yogurt and the other section holds the White Chocolate Pieces with Graham Cracker Pieces. You flip the fun side into the Key Lime yogurt and
