In vs. Out Link Up

Happy Friday!! I'm super excited to be linking up with the lovely Allison of Because I Said So for today's post. She has a great post every week where she discusses a few things that are "in" in her life, as well as those that are "out". Since I do not do this every week, I thought I'd share a few in's and out's of the whole month of September! I hope you enjoy, and head over to her site to join the link up!

IN:
The official start of Fall. Growing up in Georgia, I didn't get to experience too much of what fall truly is about- mainly the gorgeous scenery! Virginia is absolutely breathtaking during this time of the year and I'm really thankful to have been given the opportunity to experience a true fall!

Visiting Family. I started out the beginning of the month by spending Labor Day in Tennessee with my family and came back refreshed. It shouldn't take a trip to remind me, but I'm extremely blessed!

New Music. This weekend will be spent at the Landmark Music Festival, and I couldn't be more excited! I'm an avid country fan, but I've been spending the last few weeks listening to some of the artists I will hopefully catch- and I haven't hated it!

Twitter Chats. Y'all, I may have created a monster. I totally LOVE attending Twitter chats now! I've really enjoyed getting to know new people through them, and the discussions are invigorating to me. A few favorites are #CreateLounge, #TipsyChat, and #CreativeCoffeeHour.

Project Runway. I have no idea where I've been, but this show is fantastic! I got sucked into a marathon yesterday and can't wait to fill in the gaps of what I've missed. I have never been a sewer, sans high school home ec, but this really gets my creative juices pumping!

OUT:
Insomnia. I have had a terrible time sleeping this month. I don't take prescription sleep medication and will occasionally use OTC, but I refuse to do it for a long period of time. I've tried lavender essential oil, chamomile tea, and exercise.. nothing is consistently helping. Yuck.

Hotel Pillows. I've been in a hotel at least one night a week for the past month and I am O-V-E-R the flatness of the pillows! It's almost like they aren't there.

Eye-area Wrinkles. Need I say more?

Papercuts. How this keeps happening, I'm not sure. But I feel as though I'm consistently rocking a cut at all times. Hello, bandaids!

Negativity. I've harbored and been surrounded by a ton of negativity lately- which is so not my jam. Typically I'm an optimistic person, so I would love to shake this cloud of negative thoughts and get back to finding the silver lining. Here's hoping!
