This is my September moodboard of tiny but mighty loves - my current coffee order, underrated eats, repeat-buy products, a concert I’m eyeing, and a few random obsessions. Each pick has a short note on why it made the cut and how I actually use it.

I know I'm not the only one who is not a PSL girlie! For those like like me, I can still enjoy “fall season with Starbucks” without having to join the PSL hype simply because I can't get into it!
Iced Espresso (venti) + 4 pumps chai + 1 pump caramel syrup + nondairy salted caramel cold foam. It’s a sweet, balanced twist on fall season (minus the PSL). Drinking this from the app makes pick-up a breeze; I usually order around 3 pm to avoid the ...
Fall with Sbux (when you're not a PSL girlie)
Literally, the drink is as inviting as how the packaging looks. It's a double win because not only is it delicious, it is pretty strong! I don't end up needing my second cup of joe with it.
Café Joyeux Vertuo Coffee Pods
If I had a dollar for everytime someone asked me where I got my Owala from, I'd probably be rich by now. It's such a great purchase (and makes an amazing accessory!). Lots of great colors available.

True Bay Area legend- creamed spinach and creamed corn are chef’s kiss. Their policy of refilling your steak if you finish in-house is wild (in a great way). Tip: Book at least 8 weeks out for weekend dinners.
On OpenTable, try hitting “Notify Me” button for desired reservation date if it's not available. That way, you can call dibs as soon as it opens up!

I am very particular about my sushi and I am very surprised that Dublin has a gem like this! Great options for the price! Can't wait to go back.

My holy grail for 3 months now. I don't have Hailey Bieber's budget, so I decided to try to this as an alternative and my skin is loving it! It keeps me fresh and hydrated. I use it in the morning for makeup prep (looks amazing under makeup!), as wel...

If you're looking for something hydrating, this is it! This moisturizer's got me looking SO hydrated, I ended up laughing at myself during a meeting because I noticed how shiny my forehead looked - all thanks to this baby!

We live in an apartment and don't have a lot of room in the house, including our bedroom. In able for us to watch TV without having to sacrifice space, we opted in to having a projector where our blank wall can serve as a monitor screen for us. Best ...

I actually found this on TikTok. I was hooked by the story line. If you're into rom-coms, this is a good one. I would enjoy the movie version of this too - someone make it please!
Love Linked - Speka, Allison: Books

They taste like Takis’ fun cousin but slightly less intense - perfect late-night snack when you want crunch + spice without feeling wrecked after. Bonus: the lime dust sticks to your fingers (not mad about it).
They’re the Takis you can actually savor - not scorching hot, just bright, citrusy crunch that’s dangerously easy to snack. Pro tip: Try sprinkling them over your afternoon popcorn or mix into a nacho bowl for unexpected zest.
Chili & Lime Flavored Rolled Corn Tortilla Chips
Sounds intense, but popping one of these straight from the jar is oddly satisfying. Like savory candy? Try at your own risk.

A beach vacation in a bottle. I’ve been spritzing it on hoodies and blankets so everything smells like salted caramel + sunshine. (I think it works best for all seasons)
