Month after month these are always my favorite kinds of posts to read and to write. They are always my most popular too! I love sharing the things I am currently into with you guys and I love the responses I get about what you are into as well. These are the things I am currently loving for October 2024. Some might be repeats from previous months!
Currently Loving: October 2024
Chilly mornings: While it is still pretty warm here at least the mornings have been a bit more chilly. I can’t wait till it’s in the 40s and 50s but I’ll take the 60s where I can.
Grace and Stella under eye masks: I have been using these EVERY day for about 4 months now and they are truly the best under eye masks. I have several different kinds but the gold are my favorite.
TNA socks: I got these for fall to wear with leggings and sneakers and they are so cozy.
New Balance sneakers: Just purchased these after eyeing them for two years and they will be perfect for my upcoming fall trip to NYC.
Glossier brow flick: The best brow pencil! I have tried pretty much every one there is and this one is so good and precise.
Salt and Stone body spray: This smells EXACTLY like Le Labo Santal but a fraction of the price.
Purging: I have what I call trash bag energy lately. Just throwing out all the things. Yesterday the kids, Andrew, and I worked on the playroom and together got rid of probably 1/3 of it. The kids really got into the idea of giving their things they no longer use to kids who may love it.
Lazy weekends: After a crazy weekend in Miami for Taylor Swift this past weekend was what I needed. We don’t have many opportunities coming up for lazy weekends and other than a tennis lesson and a soccer game we did nothing else. It was lovely.
Our couch bed: A few months ago I convinced Andrew we needed to buy the cushions that would turn our sectional into a giant bed like couch and we now call it our couch bed. It’s the best to watch movies on!
Saying No: Call this getting older or just hitting a wall but I am saying no more. If it doesn’t excite me and I am not required to do it I am not doing it.
Beyond yoga everything: Over the last few months I have purchased quite a few things from Beyond Yoga and the leggings, bras, and this jacket have been on major rotation for barre.
Pure Barre: Speaking of barre I am such an addict. I go at least 5 days a week and sometimes every day. It is truly my favorite workout to do and I love the comraderie of a group class. I love my 6 AM group so much!
What is something you are currently loving?
Oh me too! I am loving the cooler mornings and temperatures we’d been having lately. It is just so refreshing! Does the eye mask help with dark circles? And saying no is so powerful. I’ve definitely leaned on that word as my days have gotten busier as of late. LOL

I wish we had those chilly mornings. My younger son and I were just camping with our Cub Scout pack, and it was still so warm sleeping in the tent at night. We haven’t had a lazy weekend in soooo long, I can’t wait for our first weekend with no plans, which will still be a few weeks from now. Schedules get even crazier when you have one in middle school and one in elementary school!
I love the fall season! I really do miss getting out in my garden though.
great products!
Purging and saying no are both soooo freeing. I used to hang on to every little item, and I said yes far more than I should have. I was on my way to becoming a physical AND emotional hoarder. Not now, though, and I feel so much lighter.
Yes! October is all about chilly mornings a cup of coffee, and snuggling in the couch. Thanks for the great ideas.
I love having time for myself while the kids are at school. Nothing can beat it! But I bought new tea, and I love having strong black tea with spices every afternoon.
I always enjoy seeing what’s trending each month! You’ve got some fantastic October picks.
I love this list! Chilly mornings really set the fall vibe, and those Grace and Stella under-eye masks sound amazing—especially the gold ones! Cozy TNA socks are a must, and your New Balance sneakers will be perfect for exploring NYC. I totally agree about saying no more often to prioritize what excites us. Plus, Pure Barre is a fun way to stay active with friends! Can’t wait to see what else you find this October!
Hhhmm…I am enjoying the immense rains we are getting here. December like always, will be filled with food and fruits.
This month of October flies so fast but memorable.
The coming of the fall season makes me happy because of the changing colors of the leaves, the cold weather, and the family reunion that we had a few days ago,
