Friday Favorites: Happy Fall Edition!

Friends!! It's Friday! And in just a few days- it will FALL will officially be here! In full disclosure- I actually thought today was the first day of fall. Then- I did a quick google search...and nope- it's Monday. HA! So yeah- Happy Almost First Day of Fall!

How was your week? Our's was a good one. The kids are involved in more after school activities than we have ever done- so by the time we get to Friday we are all kind of limping to the finish line. HA! Actually- it's been really great. VERY FULL for sure- but the kids are all doing things they love and I think they are actually worth our time (and money)- so it's been a neat season to begin with them!

For this edition of Friday Favorites- I wanted to share some budget friendly fall items that I am loving and have around our house!

ONE:

This mercury glass candle from Aldi!

It's in the shape of a pumpkin, but because it's made out of mercury glass- it has a higher end look to it!! I have it sitting on top of our piano and just love it!

This beautiful and YUMMY smelling candle was $4.99. 

YES!! How good is that?!? Wouldn't it be nice to pick up a few of these to have on hand as little gifts to bring to people who have you over for a cookout or a bonfire?

I only got one- but I am thinking I need to go pick up a few more!

TWO:

How awesome is this throw pillow?!?

I know you're curious where I got it....

No...not Walmart. HA!

My other FAVORITE place: Aldi!!

Friends! They have the cutest throw pillows right now!!

I am not sure if you can see the detail on this pillow- but there is some really nice embroidery on them and very well made!

I bought two of these pillows to add to our couch for fall. I had some other pillows I got last year- but I ended up not putting them out- because I love my pumpkin pillows from Aldi so much more!

These pillows were $7.99 each!! SUCH A STEAL!!

THREE:

Fall scented essential oils!!

Okay- so these two oils are not what I would consider budget friendly- BUT- they will last me throughout the entire fall season. Most days, I put 4 drops of Stress Away and 4 drops of Cinnamon Bark in my diffuser (I got mine off of Amazon- here's the LINK to it!) and our house smells AMAZING. So light, fresh and fall-ish. 

I like to burn candles and use my wax warmer...but not all day long. My diffuser runs for 6 hours...so this is currently my FAVORITE way to have our house smelling delightful! 

I don't "sell" oils- I get mine from the sweetest girl- Rachel Walker. She is on Instagram and if you would like her contact info- just email me!!

FOUR: 

So- speaking of yummy fall scents...I am LOVING lighting this candle at night, after I have cleaned up the kitchen after dinner. It is NOT a pumpkiny scent. I am not sure how to describe it..but I can tell you it is LOVELY! HA!

I picked up 4 of Bath and Body Works candles when they were on sale and had a promo that you get one free if you spent $30 (and there was free shipping!). Done and Done. 

Also- how beautiful is this candle? I feel like Bath and Body works has really stepped up the aesthetics of their products and I am loving it!

FIVE: 

This FUN pumpkin shirt!!

Okay- here's the deal. I am not great with branching outside of my typical closet staples. 

I just kind of wear the same basics over and over again. But with the start of this new school year, one of my goals was/is to get dressed every day- which for me- can be kind of annoying- because I work out every day- so I feel like I am getting dressed twice. HA!

Anyway- some days are still no makeup, wearing the clothes I worked out in at 8 am kind of days- but at least 3 days a week- I am getting dressed. YAY!

All that to say- I added a few fun things to my closet to make getting dressed more fun and this cute pumpkin shirt was one of them! I really like it because its not Halloween ORANGE and is more low key "fall." Does that make any sense?! HA!

I got it from this boutique called Peach Marketplace! They have SO MANY CUTE holiday t-shirts..among many fun clothing items. I used a coupon code I found online to save a little bit on the shirt and they offer free shipping on all items (SO GREAT) and I think my t-shirt ended up being just under $20. Not dirt cheap by any means...but it's cute, comfy and I know I will get lots of wear out of it! :)

And there you have it...a few of my FALL FAVORITES!

What do ya'll have planned for this weekend? It's Aaron's weekend to be on call..so the kids and I will be flying solo for a good portion of the weekend. Sunday we have church in the morning and then we'll be busy finishing up some small projects around the house as well as getting ready for the week! Aside from getting a good amount of cleaning done, the one thing I would like to do is go for a nature walk with the kids. I LOVE being outside and with the weather we've been having the past couple of days...it just makes it SO nice!

I hope you have a FABULOUS Friday and a WONDERFUL weekend!
