Autumn (or Fall) is finally here! | September Highlights & Faves

Hi there! October is here so we are officially in Q4, the home stretch of the year if you will. We're also in one of my favorite seasons. Fall! In fact, I've actually been able to experience some Fall weather (yay!).

I spent two weeks during September visiting family. I visited my sister in Tennessee and my parents in North Carolina. I drove (I will not fly during this pandemic unless absolutely necessary). We didn’t do a lot due to the current situation but I got to spend quality a lot of time with family, enjoy some pretty scenery and cooler weather.

It was a fun two weeks and I'll probably do it again soon. Because I was away from home for most of the month I didn't create as much content as I had planned to in September so I have a bit of catching up to do in October.

Some of the content I did create and share in September was about my relaxer touch-up. I felt that my hair took a turn after that and I shared about it in this video. I also realized that I needed a specific routine for my first hair wash post relaxer and came up with one.

Saving money is pretty much top of mind for everyone these days and I've found a few ways to keep a few extra dollars in my budget. One way is to refinance my house, I shared my reasons for refinancing and some tips for doing it in this post. I also shared a post with several things homeowners can do to save some additional money,
