More hobbies than one girl needs
I've decided I'm becoming a hobby girl this fall & winter. I've started a basket of crafty things that I've found that I can't wait to start on.
I love painting, but I'm not always creative enough to come up with designs, so this is a great way to paint & not have to think about it

I've been seeing diamond art everywhere lately, so I picked up one to try.

I think legos are a fun activity that requires enough focus to calm your mind. And who doesn't love cute flowers
LEGO Flowers Celebration Gift, Yellow and White Daffodil
Found this when I was out shopping one day & the box was beat up so it was marked down. Instantly bought it! I love Wednesday & legos, so this felt like a perfect activity for this fall.

Coloring is such a classic hobby & this Gilmore Girls book is perfect for fall!

Foods I've been eating
In case you can't tell, I have a major sweet tooth. Haha! I've also been very into homemade bread & baked goods from local farmstands, but I can't link that.
I've been seeing the Reese's x Oreo collab everywhere & I had to try. I don't know if these are any different than the peanut butter Oreos, but I was a fan!
Oreo Reese's Peanut Buttery Creme Chocolate Sandwich Cookies - 10.81oz
I've been seeing the Reese's x Oreo collab everywhere & I had to try. The normal size were sold out, so I don't know if the ratios would have been any different. But I liked these as well.

This is such a fun song & a country take on Jack & Jill
Jack & Jill Daniel's- Emily Ann Roberts
I blame tiktok for this one being constantly stuck in my head, but I'm not mad that it introduced me to Olivia Dean's music. I love blaring this in the car & sing screaming it.
