Happy Friday!  Today I am linking-up with Veronika of Veronika's Kandy Koated Dreams for Friday Favorites!  Friday Favorites is the place where you can share all of your favorites for the week.  Hop over to Veronika's Kandy Koated Dreams and, link-up to share your faves!  I can't wait to see what you are loving!  Have a wonderful weekend! 

1.  Beauty - Philosophy Trick or Treat Crispy Marshmallow Bars Lip Gloss.  "There's nothing spooky about these lip treats. Trick or Treat features crispy marshmallow bars and caramel apple high-gloss, high-flavor lip shines."  The Crispy Marshmallow Bar lip gloss is absolutely my favorite this week.  It smells just like buttery, marshmallow goo!  If I am not putting it on, I am sniffing it.  Trust me on this one.

4.  Laugh - This makes me giggle.  It is oh so true!

Fall In Love: With Autumn Glow

(via)

Good morning friends!  Welcome to "Fall In Love" Tuesday!  "Fall In Love", my first link-up series, will be hosted on Big City Belle every Tuesday through December the 20th.  If you love the fall season, "Fall In Love" is for you!  Share your football/tailgating posts, fall fashion posts, fall recipes, and Halloween ideas.  Anything related to the fall season is perfect!  Soon we will include Thanksgiving and Christmas posts!  Make sure you visit everyone on the link list.  You will love the posts!  Join the party this week!  To link-up, just grab the "Fall In Love" button code from my sidebar, and insert it into your fall related post.  Please mention Big City Belle in your post.  It's that simple.

Today I am sharing the warm glow of autumn with you.  I gravitate toward the natural colors of autumn or fall.  You should see my house!  (My decor is Old World/Tuscan.)  I love rich colors and warm tones.  Fall/Autumn colors look gorgeous when accented with the flicker of candlelight or a nice fire.  Snuggle up and grab your Bourbon Pumpkin Pie Milkshake...tonight we are glowing!
