Happy FRIDAY, friends!
Okay, I know it’s only August 28th, but we’re back in school (so to speak), I’m burning an apple scented candle and am ready to be all fall. Let’s be real, I’ve been celebrating summer since mid-April, so it’s time 😉 .
I hope you guys have a lovely weekend ahead, I plan on lots of family time myself!
Okay, here we go, just like every week, I’m linking up with my friends Andrea and Erika today and sharing some of my faves! I hope you all have the BEST weekend!!
Well, of course…
…my first Pumpkin Spice Latte of the season is my first fave this week 🙂 .
I don’t always get the full #psl (sometimes, I get Pike with a pump of pumpkin), but either way, they’re lovely…and make me crazy happy. Do you get a special “fall” drink at Starbucks??? Let me know…maybe I need to change things up!
This is random, but my second favorite this week is…
…I finally finished the final season of Homeland and LOVED it! If you haven’t watched this series before, it’s really good. It’s been on for years and years, but just wrapped up in 2020. I binged it probably two years ago but just finished the final season. I thought the entire series wrapped up perfectly! Honestly, now looking back, I think this could be one of my all-time favorite series.
A very popular fave recently…
…I’ve been wearing my S necklace on repeat…
…isn’t it so cute?! You can, obviously, get all the other letters too 😉 . They’d make excellent gifts this holiday season! Love, love, love!
Did you see my new lip glosses on Instagram? I saw this pic on my friend Karla’s Story…
…and immediately texted her and said I wanted to buy some myself! Aren’t they gorgeous?!
These are the three I bought…
…and after I received them, loved them and gushed about them to her, I knew they’d be a fave today, so guess what Karla said?! She said she’d give my readers a deal! Whoop! Whoop!!
Awwwwwww! How fun is this?! Right now, Karla will give you half off a fourth item! These glosses are really great friends 🙂 ! Thank you, Karla!!!!
Of course…
…my AUGUST BOOK REVIEW is a fave this week!! Make sure you head HERE to read my reviews and the comment section! Book Day makes me SO HAPPY!!
And for our last weekend in August…
…my End of Summer Supper 🙂 . You can see all of the yummy recipes (including a drink!) right HERE.
That wraps up my Friday Faves! I hope you all have the BEST weekend!!! xx

Your hair is so so cute! I think I need that new stylin’ tool. Heading to Amazon right now!
Sarah Shaneyfelt says
I am so ready for fall too! Labor Day weekend is always my official end of summer and also the time when I bring out all the fall decorations, but like you, I’ve already been burning a fall candle. I’m hoping it’ll bring in that cooler fall weather haha!

Erika Slaughter says
Happy Friday!! Your S necklace is darling! I can see why it deserves to be a FAVORITE! And your cheesy ranch tacos from yesterday were SO good last night!
Mix and Match Mama says
Yay!! I’m so happy you guys made them!
Amanda @ Cupcake N Dreams says
I’m ready for this year to be over so I guess I’m ok with fall coming lol I don’t want to let go of summer yet though! I forgot about Homeland, that would be a good series to start in the coming months. Happy Friday!

Sarina says

Joanne says
You know I’ve never bought a single drink from Starbucks?! We do have one or two near us inside other stores but I think we’ve only bought a few of their tempting baked goods. I am not a coffee drinker and never know what to order otherwise.
Judy says
I am not a coffee drinker either, love the smell, strongly dislike the taste. My daughter suggested Chai Tea ( winter months) and Iced Chai tea ( in the summer). It’s on the sweet side but delicious! It’s nice to be able to order at Starbucks when with others drinking coffee.
Elspeth says
Happy Friday Shay!!!
Not only do I love your S necklace but your hair has been so cute this week! I am loving the waves! Have a great weekend!

Karla says
Ah! Love you and your support!! And yes, bring on the fall!!!
Julie says
English Breakfast Hot Tea Latte with Pumpkin Spice syrup added. I usually get whole milk and depending on the size drink that I order, I will ask for half the pumps of pumpkin spice syrup that they would usually put in because I don’t like it too sweet. It’s just so good!
Mix and Match Mama says
Ohhhhh! This sounds delish!!!
Maggie says
Are those pink slippers your wearing in the pic of the lipglosses Ugg? I just ordered those from the sale and am waiting to get them in. Wondered if you like the sandal version of the slippers?
Mix and Match Mama says
YES!! I bought them in the sale and LOVE them! Literally wearing them right now!
Stephanie says
I am burning lots of fall candles right now…. I am so ready! Starbucks has a hot caramel apple cider that is SO good.
Sheaffer Sims says
I’m going to have to check out those glosses and Homeland!
Nicole says
Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew!!! It’s the BEST!!
Julie says
Speaking of apple candles, can you remind us what your favorite Fall Circle E candles are? I’m about ready to place my order and am looking for some new Fall scents. School doesn’t start until 9/15 here on the East Coast, so we’re squeezing out the last few weeks of “summer” but I can’t wait to start ‘back to school’ everything :).
Mix and Match Mama says
Yes!!! Country Morning (that’s their pumpkin spice scent) and Apple Strudel!
Sara says
I’m not an iced coffee kinda girl, BUT! The pumpkin cream cold brew has me hooked!
Grande pumpkin cream cold brew
No vanilla
Add pumpkin
Venti cup
Extra ice
Oh my, fall in a cup! (perfect for the transitional still hot fall weather)
Krista says
My favorite fall Starbucks drink is the Caramel Apple Cider!!
Melissa Washington says
My husband and I binged Homeland during quarantine as well and loved it! Have you watched Outlander? That is my recent obsession and I think it’d be right up your alley 🙂
Allena Gurley says
The books are SO amazing – I enjoy the show but the books are out of this world! Jamie Fraser is my all-time favorite male character.
Tracy says
Pumpkin cream cold brew! So yummy (and I might be drinking one right now!).
Jelena says
You have to watch The Americans! If you loved Homeland and Breaking Bad, this series is right up there with them!
Mix and Match Mama says
Netflix????
Sarah says
I second The Americas. Soooooo good!
Kristi says
Amazon Prime – you’ll be hooked!
Hollie M says
I pushed on through the last few seasons of Homeland, but the final season totally redeemed itself (dumb and dumber reference anyone?). The finale was everything I hoped for and then some. It wrapped up perfectly, especially since I love Saul. One of the greatest series and series finales of all time. #IMO
Mix and Match Mama says
YES! Seasons 6 and 7 were very much “in her head” and harder for me to enjoy, but season 8 was FABULOUS!! Very old school Homeland.
Amanda says
You need to try the pumpkin spice cold brew. Life changing!
Mary says
Pumpkin cream cold brew is delicious…and a great way to get a taste of fall while it’s still summertime!
Rachel Miles says
Made your cheesy ranch tacos….holy OMG!!! My entire family scraped their plates clean! It is now on the rotation 🙂
Mix and Match Mama says
YAY!!!!!!!! This makes me so happy!!!!
Carol says
Reading your blog, drinking a pumpkin spice latte, burning a sweet cinnamon pumpkin candle, a honey crisp apple (Trader Joe’s last year), and country morning (Circle E). As for a favorite Starbucks fall drink, I usually get the standard pumpkin spice latte, but sometimes I have a pumpkin/chai tea latte. Ready for Fall! and All Things PUMPKIN SPICE !!!!!
Amy Buterbaugh says
Try half pumpkin spice and half white chocolate Mocha. It’s delish!! ?
Mix and Match Mama says
Why have I not thought of that before?!?!
Deena says
I’m ready for fall! I saw lobster rolls on your menu and wondered if you’ve ever gotten them from Cousins Maine Lobster? Their food truck has been in the area so we got the Connecticut lobster rolls yesterday when they were in McKinney and they were delicious! Friends also got lobster bisque and loved it too.
Mix and Match Mama says
Oh my goodness, no?! Sounds delish!!
Keryn says
You can follow them on Facebook to find out where their truck will be. As a New Englander I can tell you they’re the real deal.
Kristine says
Yay for Homeland! My husband and I watched ALL the seasons during quarantine! Now we need a new show!
Laura Schlabach says
100% agree with all the things about Homeland! Gah! I just finished it as well! So good!
Also, this month’s book review looks great. The Girl With the Louding Voice is already in my Audible library! Thank you
Kristine says
Also you MUST order an iced caramel machiatto with pumpkin sauce instead of vanilla!
Mix and Match Mama says
Mind. Blown. Whoa!!!!
Nichole says
The Pumpkin Cold Brew. It used to be the PSL for me, but once they brought out the cold brew, that was it for me.
Mary Jane McNeill says
I had to stop watching Homeland. It was so stressful and suspenseful I couldn’t take it! I found myself yelling at the TV! But it was so good and so well done. It amazing me how they produce shows so realistically these days.
Mix and Match Mama says
Go back just to watch season 8!! It’s so good!!!!
Allena Gurley says
One of my favorite movies is Stardust and it stars Claire Danes, I watched it recently with my big 2 (11 and 7) and they liked it as well – it’s a fantasy story with a love story built-in. No cussing, a smidge of violence/action (but not much blood). If you like Claire Danes, watch this! Beauty Counter has some new lipglosses I want to try!
Amy says
I always love the Caramel Brûlée but I don’t think they consider it a fall drink which blows my mind!! So i’ll patiently wait…unfortunately I just can’t embrace anything pumpkin and I know I’m the minority. Anyhow I love your initial necklace so much and I definitely think will be having the tacos tonight.
Sarah says
I really enjoyed the last season of Homeland too. Well thought out ending and so right for the characters.
Kim says
Where is your necklace with the blue stone from?
Mix and Match Mama says
That’s an oldie from Gorjana!
Em says
Ahhhh Homeland is just too good! One of my top 3-5 series of all time, for sure!!
Sarah Matthews says
I like an iced or hot latte with 2 pumps of pumpkin, 2 pumps vanilla. Delicious!
Mia says
The Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew is literally SO good!! If you like cold brew/iced coffee it’s a must ??
Emily says
Have you heard of the “Cinderella Latte?” A pumpkin spice latte and substitute half the pumps of pumpkin spice for white mocha. Or order the pumpkin cold brew and substitute all the vanilla for white chocolate mocha syrup (that’s what I’ll be treating myself with tomorrow). @happiestteesonearth came up with it!
Mix and Match Mama says
That sounds delicious!!!!!!!
Darian says
You have to try the dirty chai latte at Starbucks. It’s chai latte with a shot of espresso. Perfect fall drink,
Susan cardy says
You must watch POLDARK!!!!!!! Soooo good!!!!
Mix and Match Mama says
On Netflix????
Maureen says
I am a big PSL fan and was actually thinking of getting one today but decided I will do it when we take our trip next month. I feel like it would make it more special? I love lip glosses! They are my favorite things to wear when going out. I adore all of the different colors you have! Do they have a bit of shine or are they matte like?

Jenny Kim Jo says
Shay, the pumpkin cream cold brew takes the cake!!
Suzie Payne says
Try a pumpkin chai latte or white pumpkin mocha, sooo good!!!
Rachel says
The green sleeveless shirt? Gorgeous! Wear is it from?
Mix and Match Mama says
That was from J Crew!!
Marian Emch says
Love reading all your posts and have been loving your wavy hair. Hope all is going well with your house!
Mix and Match Mama says
Thank you!!!! Andrew says we’re at the worst part now and things should start looking up soon. I’m ready to see some big progress!!
Mindy Galloway says
I agree with you on Homeland–one of my fav series of all time!
My husband and friends have been egging me on to watch Game of Thones, which I know you watched kind of begrudgingly at first. We’re half-way through season five and I keep waiting for it to hook me. Hopefully soon!
Mix and Match Mama says
I hated every minute of it…until the very end and then I was all “That’s my second favorite show of all time!”. Bahaha!
