3.  One of our favorite bloggers, Eva Martino at Happily Eva After shared her powder room makeover, which is gorgeous and so glam!

4.  As with some of the recent severe storms, we're heartbroken over the terrible damage in Puerto Rico.  Here's an informative article with link with where you can donate to help out!

5. One of our favorite shows, This is Us, came back this week!  Without spoilers, there was a big reveal at the end of the episode!  Who's watching with us?

6.  You might say that Ry is obsessed with candles.  What kind of candles you ask?  Bath and Body Works Three Wicks!  They come in so many amazing scents, burn evenly for strong lasting power and are often on sale!  They're currently mix and match 2-for-$24.  If you order before Friday, there's an extra 20% off your order with the code FALL4FALL.  You know we are both going to take advantage of this!

Fall Beauty Faves

The change in seasons brings us to even more beauty picks!  Fall can be a tricky time for beauty routines.  The unpredictable weather can result in a hot and humid weather one day and dry and chilly weather the next.  We are trying to hang on to our summer glow while also dealing with drying skin and puffy eyes (thanks, ragweed!)  We have to have some beauty multi-taskers in our arsenal to survive the fall.  Here are some of our favorite products this fall!

1.  Julep Boost Your Radiance:  We have been learning more about face oils lately (upcoming post idea?) They can repair fine lines and discoloration without being oily.  This rosehip oil from Julep is moisturizing without leaving my face feeling greasy.  Jess's tip--add a couple of drops to my evening moisturizer.

2.  CND Shellac Polish in Oxblood: This dark red is perfect for fall!  We love the lasting-power of a shellac manicure and this shade will look amazing all season.

3.  OGX Coconut Miracle Oil Body Wash:  This stuff has a delicious coconut smell that will remind you of summer and provides serious moisture to keep your dry skin smooth.

4.  Smith's Minted Rose Lip Balm:  We love the original version of this, but this one has a minty twist.  Very moisturizing without being sticky like many other balms.

5.  Philosophy Pumpkin Icing Shampoo, Shower Gel and Bubble Bath:  If you're so basic, you want to even Pumpkin Spice-up your shower (and we are!), this will be right up your alley.  We love this product and always try to stock up on seasonal scents.

6.  Sonia Kashuk Instant Smoke Stick: The busy girl's best friend!  This multi-tasker will help you create the perfect smoky eye with just one product.  Throw this in your purse to make your daytime look date ready!

Color Crush: Spruce

Another color we are feeling from the Fall 2017 Pantone Color Picks is spruce.  We don't wear a lot of green, but when we do, this shade is especially flattering.  You can pair it with naturals of any shade (tan, brown, black, etc) for a distinctively fall/winter look.  Here are some great ways to incorporate spruce into your look.

Top Row (Left to Right):  OPI Amazon Amazoff, Hunter Tall Boots, Gibson Twist Pullover,  Old Navy Heavy-Knit Leggings

Bottom Row (Left to Right): GAP Softspun Dress, Julep Eyeshadow 101, Athleta Chi Tank Top, CND Shellac in Emerald Lights.

Friday Pick-Six: 9/22/17

Here's what we're loving and living for this week!

1.  One of our favorite TV shows, The Mindy Project, came back with a new season on Hulu last week.  We can't wait to see how things turn out for Mindy in the final season!

2.  How great does this 5 Ingredient Lemony Chicken look on Cup of Jo?  This would be perfect with a nice salad and some wine!

3.  After any award show, one of our first reads is Go Fug Yourself for the fashion recap.  This year is no different!  Our personal best dressed faves were Lea Michele and Alexis Bledel.  We did not love Reese Witherspoon (wrong for this event) and Tracy Ellis Reese (why wear the puffy thing if you have a rocking bod?)

4.  It looks like the Winter Essie color preview is out and Essie Envy has it on her blog!  Anything that you're interested in?

5.  You guys, Target has a new workout line coming up and it looks soooooo good!  JoyLab is launching October 1st and we can't wait!

6.  I finally hopped on the face oil trend and ordered Julep's Boost Your Radiance face oil.  I'm hoping it will help with my fine line and some discoloration.  I'm looking forward to reviewing it soon! --J

1.  GAP Marled Stripe Boatneck Pullover
2.  JCrew 1988 Roll Neck Sweater
3.  Old Navy Open Long Line Sweater
4.  Gibson Bell Sleeve Cozy Pullover

Color Crush: Navy

How excited were we to see that one of our favorite colors, navy, was in the Fall 2017 Fashion week color palette.  We wear navy in all seasons, but it's a little unexpected in the fall.  Navy always looks classic and chic, especially when paired with other neutrals.  Here are some awesome ways to incorporate navy in your fall look this year!

(Top Row: Left to Right) Essie After Schoolboy Blazer, GAP ponte sculpt leggings, Sole Society booties, Julep When Pencil Met Gel

(Bottom Row: Left to Right) Banana Republic Navy Boucle Tie-Front Shell, Tieks Flats, Athleta Responsible Down Sweater Jacket, OPI Russian Navy

Friday Pick-Six: 9/15/17

Here's what we're loving and living for this week!

1.  Shout out to our friends Matt and Sarah for recommending Bota Box wines.  You can't beat the taste for the price and they have an amazing selection!  We are looking forward to trying the Nighthawk Blend this fall and winter!

2.  Our favorite new podcast is How Did This Get Made?  The hilarious June Diane Raphael, Paul Scheer and Jason Matzokas watch terrible movies and make fun of them.  We discovered this recently and have been going back to laugh our way through the archives.  Check it out!

3.  If you're looking for a great workout, check out this awesome 45-minute Pilates & Strength Training workout from Popsugar.  When Ry recommended it to me, I thought "Hey, pilates, how hard could that be?"  45 minutes later, I was dripping sweat and sore already.  Try it! --J

4.  I tried these Patchology Flashpatch Eye Gels the other day after work.  We have pretty dark circles already (thanks, genetics!) and my eyes were feeling particularly swollen yesterday (double thanks, seasonal allergies!) I immediately felt the cooling effect.  They definitely seemed to reduce the dryness and fine lines under my eyes! --R

5.  If you're looking for a tasty and easy weeknight dinner, try this Slow Cooker Beef Broccoli.  We had it last night and it had minimal prep and tasted great!

6.  How cute are these booties?  Perfect to transition to fall and what a great price!  Love ya, Target!
