Wreaths are another statement piece for the fall because it adds a little southern charm to your indoor and outdoor décor. I love going to Michael's for wreaths because they have great selections for premade wreaths and materials to make your very own wreaths. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f734efa2964b064ee23d689/1602788142805-Y7A61H4AKSUBENFYL9HE/outfit+%2810%29.png Blog - Fall Must Haves for Home When I think of go-to fall meals, I immediately think of soups, stews, and braises. The heartiness of stews and braises and the warmth and smoothness of soups is undoubtedly why these meals are the ultimate comfort food of the fall. The best way to whip up these great fall comfort foods is with a Dutch oven. Now I know it may sound weird to have a Dutch oven as a Fall must-have but trust me, the Dutch oven takes the flavor of these Fall meals to another level. Dutch oven should be a kitchen essential. The heaviness and thickness of the pot does well with conducting heat, which makes it perfect for searing meat at a high temperature and cooking food for an extended period of time. If you decided to make yourself a hearty beef stew, don't forget to purchase a Dutch oven and thank me later (wink wink). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f734efa2964b064ee23d689/1602788280915-C7OBLTS4MGXPNF60FE3S/outfit+%2812%29.png Blog - Fall Must Haves for Home Now that you have the throw blankets to set off the Fall vibes in the home, you need to accompany the throw blankets with Fall decorative pillows. I think everyone knows why decorative pillows are a must have for the fall. Decorative pillows are the statement piece that brings the charisma to the décor in your home. It's the missing piece that ties the décor together. I love the cute little pillows with Fall sayings on them. My favorite store to find cute decorative pillows is At Home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f734efa2964b064ee23d689/1602787998157-DSH5CKDSQQ4UAJEYISIV/outfit+%288%29.png Blog - Fall Must Haves for Home If you have fall scented candles for the home, you must have fall scented fresheners. Candles are fantastic for giving you home a pleasant fall aroma, but it's only for a short amount of time since most candles are only supposed to burn for a few hours, where fresheners can continue the Fall scent throughout the day. My favorite fresheners are the Glade plug-ins and air fresheners. You can pretty much purchase air fresheners anywhere from your local grocery store to department stores like Target and Walmart to online stores like Amazon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f734efa2964b064ee23d689/1602788343732-U5LCKRP7I5OLFB0XZ7F0/outfit+%2813%29.png Blog - Fall Must Haves for Home You cannot think of fall without thinking about pumpkins! Pumpkins are the symbolic fruit/vegetable of the fall because it's a sign that the harvest season has arrived. I'm not a fan of pumpkin pie and the majority of pumpkin-flavored food, but I'm a sucker for overdosing my home with pumpkin décor. Some people like to decorate with real pumpkins, but I prefer the artificial ones simply because there are various designs available, and I can reuse them for the next Fall season. I love the pumpkins that are not the traditional orange colors for decorating inside my home because they give me fall with a little modern touch; I used the pumpkins with the classic orange color for the outdoor décor. My go-to places in finding non-traditional pumpkin décor are At Home and HomeGoods. I purchase my traditional pumpkin décor from Amazon, Hobby Lobby, and Michaels. My recent purchase was some mini pumpkins from Amazon, where I used them for my outdoor decorations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f734efa2964b064ee23d689/1602788078194-CS1G3840YGZQFJTHSPFX/outfit+%287%29.png Blog - Fall Must Haves for Home Now that I have the home smelling fantastic with the sweet and spicy aroma of home fragrance, now it's time for me to pull out the fall scented cleaning products! I guess you guys thought that I was playing when I said the fall is my favorite time of the year, huh, LOL! Nothing is more rewarding when my house is extra clean and smelling so warm and cozy! Mrs. Meyer's is the go-to brand for fall scented cleaning products. My favorite scents are Orange Clove surface cleaner, Apple Cider hand soap, and Alcorn Spice dish soap. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f734efa2964b064ee23d689/1602787926850-9379MLBZFXC62OT3RV86/outfit+%285%29.png Blog - Fall Must Haves for Home One of the ultimate must-haves for my home is scented candles. I love scented candles for this time of the year. I'm not a big fan of candles during the spring and summer, I'm more of a plug-in and melting wax fragrance fan for the summer because I enjoy the strong spicy, pungent smell candles, and they fit more for the Fall season. Also, candles give your home a cozy feel when lit up. One of my favorite places to get candles is, of course, Bath and Body Works. Every year they come out with new scents to their fall collection. My favorite candles from Bath and Body Works are Leaves and Cozy Cashmere. These candles have the spicy and sweet smells that bring in the fall in my home. Department stores have a great selection of candles, and you don't have to break the bank. The department stores you can find great fall scented candles are department stores such as TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Ross, At Home, and HomeGoods. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f734efa2964b064ee23d689/1602787829800-C9F0HZXF2TDDT9AA7VR9/outfit+%284%29.png Blog - Fall Must Haves for Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f734efa2964b064ee23d689/1602788192333-VPCSMHLLM5WW99FXLX9W/outfit+%2811%29.png Blog - Fall Must Haves for Home Its now time to enjoy the fall season comforts, and what better home essential to bring in the home coziness than throw blankets. Whether you are working from home or just having a nice chill movie night, throw blankets can add so much comfort in enjoying this time of the year. Throw blankets are stunning in home décor because they bring the warm and welcoming vibes when I walk into my home. You can find great throw blankets in just about any department stores. My favorite stores to purchase throw blankets are Ross, T.J. Maxx, Marshalls, and HomeGoods. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f734efa2964b064ee23d689/1602788600966-97CX37EB1UD62PW8XZ7M/outfit+%2815%29.png Blog - Fall Must Haves for Home https://loveoveanamarie.com/blog/meditation-and-mindfulness-erspr monthly 0.5 2020-10-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f734efa2964b064ee23d689/1602016046742-4JAHAAZVJCD7ZIL8WQDS/calm.jpg Blog - Anxiety…7 Ways I keep the Calm in My Storm https://loveoveanamarie.com/blog/augustfavorites2020 monthly 0.5 2020-10-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f734efa2964b064ee23d689/1602214643068-M3TE7DI1MFRSVIHV5JCW/Pink%2Band%2BBlack%2BPeople%2Band%2BBlogs%2BYoutube%2BIntro.jpg Blog - My August 2020 Favorites https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f734efa2964b064ee23d689/1602213572132-5NAHBZKKVJCEN09RC8AJ/too+faced.jpg Blog - My August 2020 Favorites TOO FACED BETTER THAN SEX MASCARA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f734efa2964b064ee23d689/1602213173988-EKA652AIAMKCZ04T9YO7/juvias+place.jpg Blog - My August 2020 Favorites JUVIA’S PLACE LIP COLLECTION https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f734efa2964b064ee23d689/1602213444845-N02WILD4UBZQ13X2JPF4/Chanel.jpg Blog - My August 2020 Favorites CHANEL CHANCE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f734efa2964b064ee23d689/1602214380083-7O7OW8PWLVUKVMMMLB2X/maybelline-eyebrow-total-temptation-definer-deep-brown-041554545098-o.jpg Blog - My August 2020 Favorites MAYBELLINE TOTAL TEMPTATION BROW DEFINER https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f734efa2964b064ee23d689/1602214446180-X6XW5XPD8F8EKIAKFVXG/heel%2Bto%2Btoe.jpg Blog - My August 2020 Favorites HEEL TO TOE HEEL INTENSIVE CARE FOOT SOFTNER https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f734efa2964b064ee23d689/1602213065699-5GTLQZCNVA53PGAXWQVI/download.png Blog - My August 2020 Favorites FENTY SKIN https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f734efa2964b064ee23d689/1602214303851-IBL6FNRRTN2C27SRMARX/Coco_Cabana_Cream_600x.jpg Blog - My August 2020 Favorites SOL JANERIO COCO CABANA CREAM https://loveoveanamarie.com/blog/category/Fall monthly 0.5 https://loveoveanamarie.com/blog/category/Home+Decor+ monthly 0.5 https://loveoveanamarie.com/blog/tag/Home+decor monthly 0.5 https://loveoveanamarie.com/blog/tag/Candles monthly 0.5 https://loveoveanamarie.com/blog/tag/October monthly 0.5 https://loveoveanamarie.com/blog/tag/Fresheners monthly 0.5 https://loveoveanamarie.com/blog/tag/Holiday monthly 0.5 https://loveoveanamarie.com/blog/tag/Decor monthly 0.5 https://loveoveanamarie.com/blog/tag/Fall+Season monthly 0.5 https://loveoveanamarie.com/blog/tag/Fall monthly 0.5 https://loveoveanamarie.com/blog/tag/Cozy monthly 0.5 https://loveoveanamarie.com/blog/tag/Wreaths monthly 0.5 https://loveoveanamarie.com/motivation-mondays daily 0.75 2021-12-07 https://loveoveanamarie.com/motivation-mondays/perfectly-flawed monthly 0.5 2023-08-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f734efa2964b064ee23d689/1606756480368-NK5S5PEUV2JZN3951R1B/shiny_diamonds_w6.jpg Motivation Mondays - Perfectly Flawed - “ A Diamond depends on its flaws for Sparkle.” ~ Unknown ~ https://loveoveanamarie.com/motivation-mondays/the-pause-button monthly 0.5 2020-11-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f734efa2964b064ee23d689/1605546901793-WPH87N84NLFEANSDNDP2/image-asset.jpeg Motivation Mondays - The Pause Button - “Pause before judging Pause before assuming Pause before accusing Pause whenever you’re about to react harshly and you’ll avoid doing and saying things you’ll regret later.” ~ Lori Deschene ~ https://loveoveanamarie.com/motivation-mondays/motivation-mondays-react-with-positivity monthly 0.5 2020-11-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f734efa2964b064ee23d689/1604345167125-0SU2AKTB41M2SCEU38OK/Wednesday-motivational-quotes.jpg Motivation Mondays - Motivation Mondays - React with Positivity! - Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.

I am a wife to an amazing husband of 7 years! I am a Finance professional who has a great passion for beauty, makeup, fashion, and home décor. I knew from a young girl that I was always going to be into fashion, I mean I made sure my Barbie dolls had the latest fashion that Mattel came out with. (I was very serious about Barbie dolls) Makeup on the other hand was something that had to grow on me. I was in dance and honestly, that was the only time I was okay with wearing makeup. I did not even like nail polish on my fingernails and toes, only clear polish., I know...weirdo! Well, the more mature I became, the more I started to enjoy putting on makeup. Recently becoming a homeowner, I fell in love with decorating my home. I get pure enjoyment in decorating my home, from matching patterns, color schemes, searching for artwork, or DIY projects. Okay, enough with me talking about myself, let us get into what my blog will be about! This blog is all about the great things we ladies enjoy about beauty, makeup, fashion, and home décor. I get so excited about these things that I felt I had to share it with the world sooo...website created! LOL I will showcase hair reviews, makeup and beauty reviews, fashion hauls, home décor hauls, just to name a few! It is really all about enjoying life with a little sprinkle of sass! Look at me just rambling on, LOL! I hope you enjoy my blog and thank so much for your support! Hugs ~n~ Kisses!
