An Update on What I’ve Been Up To!
Fall is here and I’m thrilled to share a bit about what I’ve been up to lately and all I’m excited about for my very fave time of year!
By Laura Carson Miller
September has finally graced us with her glorious presence and I for one could not be happier! I love fall as it’s not really cold yet but it’s cool and you can layer (I live for layering!!) tees, button ups, sweaters, jackets and even a thinner fabric coat if the mood strikes you!
Those of you following my social media accounts (I’m @lcmlifestyle on Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest) have likely noticed my new love for creating wardrobe related collages. I love making them ~ can you tell?? Hopefully you’re enjoying the outfits I put together and are finding them inspirational for your own current wardrobe and or to add pieces to fill in any gaps in your wardrobe list. Do you have a wardrobe list? If not and you want to create one and aren’t sure how, email me! I’m happy to help. Just go to the Contact tab at the top of the page and drop me a line.
As you also might know I am working with ShopMy and now I’m also working with LTK. Both these sites allow me to curate and link wardrobe and home interiors related pieces I own and love or am interested in owning. When you click a link and make a purchase through my personal ShopMy or LTK shops, you are taken directly to the website of the company selling the item and you pay them directly, with absolutely no mark up in price whatsoever. I earn a small commission and am paid once the companies return window has expired. It’s my pleasure and honor to be viewed as ‘highly trusted for product advice’ as ShopMy describes it and I so value your appreciation of and interest in the casual chic and season-less style I wear and share with you regularly!
While ShopMy doesn’t have an app for shoppers, you can access my ShopMy through my website, or via links in all my social media bios. LTK does have an app for shoppers ~ it’s free to download and you can follow my shop so all my latest posts appear in the top of your feed and/or you can subscribe to my shop where you will receive an email each time I publish a new post. Subscribing is great if you are someone who is not checking the app on a regular basis.
I have another new business venture on the horizon I’ll be telling you about very soon! I’m super excited about it and it’s yet another manifestation of the law of attraction and how here focus goes, energy flows! Friends, we truly are what we think about! This is no joke. Get your thoughts right and speak out loud what you desire. I am living proof of speaking things in to being! Thoughts become things.
Another reason I’m so excited about fall is it means football is BACK! I love college and NFL football so I’m pleased as punch! I’ve also already binged watched all of the new season of Emily in Paris and of course I’m digging Only Murders in the Building!! (Side note: do you think Selena and Benny will get married? Were you surprised Ben and J-Lo was over so quickly? Are you glad Brittany finally filed for divorce from Jax? Do you think Taylor and Travis are gonna go the distance??)
As the weather cools down I tend to get more into cooking. I like unearth my slow cooker from hibernation and make veggie dishes and I always love baking but even more so in fall and winter. The fresh cranberries will be in the grocery stores soon and that means I’ll be baking up my famous Cranberry Nut Bread! The recipe is here on the blog ~ you’ll have to keep going back a bit but it is definitely posted.
I’m continuing my pilates classes and adding free weights, walking and a few of my physical therapy exercises into my weekly exercise routine. Being able to move pretty freely is life changing and the truth is, the moving makes moving easier. Jerry Seinfeld has a bit on one of his Seinfeld episodes where he says people are only exercising so they can get through a workout. Which is hilarious when he says it, because everything is hilarious the he says it, but he is exactly correct. So moving so you can move more easily is a real thing and I’m happy to have taken this to heart.
I hope everything is going really well for you and that you’re excited about fall and all that goes with it.
