Halloween on the brain

It’s been a month full of challenges, lately. Starting new jobs full of potential while other things are knocked down that I have built for years.

Today is a new day, though and a new week longing for the holiday season as I share one of my favorite throwbacks.

There isn’t a recipe today for my Bubbling Cauldron cupcakes but as you can tell it’s simply made with pretzel rods, sprinkles and a dyed frosting. 🪄🧁

I am ready for the chilled nips in the air, to wear my sweaters, my hair to fall gracefullydown my back to keep me warm. I want to see pumpkins sitting on every corner of town, the stores filled with the scent of caramel popcorn, my home to enchant passers-by. 🍁

Today, is the real challenge of righting some of the wrongs in my past and launching my family forward, towards the holiday season.

Peace and love as those who endure Reverse Seasonal Depression as I do. It’s almost over! 🎃

how I increase my focus & reduce brain fog! 🧠🌟
Lately, there have been a LOT of things going on for me. It’s made it so my mind is so scattered and it’s been more difficult to focus fully. This has definitely hurt my mental health a bit and made me more anxious because I feel like I’m doing things slower, more poorly, and getting less done.
