It is October already. I can't believe how fast this year has flown. We are in the last three months of 2021. That is crazy to me. So because it's the beginning of October, I am bringing you my September favorites. I have a ton and I mean a ton of WW food find, lots of good home favorites and of course my beauty favorites that I have been obsessed with over the month of September. So if you love a good favorites video, give it a big thumbs up.

Help make them just a little bit easier. Also you'll find my Facebook group. We'd love to have you over there. And now let's jump into my September favorites. And we have a lot of them. So as always, I'm going to start with my WW food favorites. And I have quite a lot this month, which is always a good thing. I've tried a lot of new foods that I have fallen in love with. I have some fun fall inspired pumpkin inspired goodies. And then some just overall favorite. We're going to start with this lesser evil pumpkin spice popcorn. This popcorn is incredible. It is all the pumpkin spice vibes. You can have two full cups of this popcorn for 110 calories or the points here on the screen. It's the perfect spicy versus sweet. It's the perfect pumpkin flavor. Absolutely love this. I did buy this from Imperfect Foods. You guys know I order Imperfect Foods every couple of weeks. It helps prevent food waste. You get some really good deals on food and you can try some new favorites. I will link Imperfect Foods down below for you guys with $10 worth of free groceries with your order and no minimum purchase. So definitely take advantage of them. Add this lesser evil popcorn to your order because it's incredible. Next up is Delicata Squash. One of my fall favorite things. This is so good. What I love most about this squash is there's no prep work required. You literally cut it up and roast it up in your oven or your air fryer. You actually eat the skin of this. So it's perfect. It's so easy and it's so good. Troy and I love, love, love this. We always get excited when we see it at Trader Joe's. I know that you can find it at most grocery stores but I always just buy it at Trader Joe's. It's 99 cents a piece. Obsessed. So, so good. So definitely try this out while it's in season. Next up also from Trader Joe's is their seasonal hold the cone ice cream cones. These are little mini guys in pumpkin ginger. You can have three cones for 260 calories or I just usually have one cone and I believe it's four points. It will be here on the screen for you. So good. It's these little mini cones and then it has a pumpkin ginger ice cream and then it's coated in this white chocolate. It's so good. And in the bottom of the cone is a big chunk of white chocolate. Just like the, what are those other ice cream cones from Nestle? I'll pop a picture in here for you. They always have that good bit of chocolate at the bottom. So good. I always stock up on these while they're at Trader Joe's because they generally sell out fast. So good. Such the perfect little sweet treat. Speaking of sweet treats, the new flavor of smart sweets, the cola gummies, a million out of 10. If you love the cola flavored gummies of our childhood you are going to love these. There's a ton of these in the bag. They are 100 calories for the entire bag and they taste just like our childhood favorite but way less sugar, way less points and calories. So, so good. I love these. I mean, one of my favorite candies that smart sweets has come out of, I will make sure they're linked down below and I do have a discount for 10% off if you want to try them out or maybe add a few bags to your online order. They are not available in stores as of now and I haven't heard any plans of putting them in stores but you can certainly order them off of the smart sweets website and use the 10% off discount code. Delicious. Next are these vital farm pasteurized egg bites. So I actually bought these at Natural Grocers which is kind of our version of Whole Foods or Sprouts. These are delicious. These are the uncured ham, bell pepper, onion and cheddar cheese. They had several different flavors. Can eat both of the egg bites in here for 210 calories and it actually has 17 grams of protein. They're very, very good. They're quick, easy, on the go breakfast, snack, lunch, however you want to eat them. I usually just pair them with some fruit. They're really, really good. Pop them in your microwave to warm them up. And again, they're just really delicious. Pretty affordable for egg bites, cheaper than Starbucks and you can't beat it for 210 calories and I believe four points for both egg bites. I also wanted to share some protein bars from Organe that I recently picked up. These are the Organe Kids O-Bar. These are organic whole grain energy snack bars. They have 10 grams of whole grain. They're gluten-free and they also have, this one has four grams of protein. This is the peanut butter and it is plant-based. Here's the size of the bar. So it's actually a pretty good size. It's only 130 calories, so, so good. I also bought the chocolate chip ones and these ones also have the 10 grams of whole grains but these ones actually have less protein. These have two grams of protein versus four grams. So they're not really a protein bar. They're more a snack bar. I like to have these before my workout. It's like the perfect pre-workout snack. They're low in calories, low in points. They have pretty good ingredients and they're really delicious. So I would remind off of the Organe website when I ordered their pumpkin spice protein powder, which I'm pretty sure is sold out but if it's not, I'll link it down below. I do have a discount for Organe so I'll put that in the description box as well but these are really good and they're pretty affordable on the Organe website and yeah, I really, really like these for a quick, easy snack. Another one of my favorite seasonal products from Trader Joe's is their pumpkin cream cheese. I buy several of these every year to stock up so good. This is the best cream cheese pretty much ever. You can have two tablespoons for only 70 calories. I like to pop these on the Trader Joe's pumpkin bagels or another bagel that I'll share with you guys next but it's so good. It's such a delicious cream cheese and like I said, it's seasonal and I stock up because I don't want to miss out on it all season and I even like to have a couple backups in my fridge after the fall season. Like I mentioned, I'll pair the pumpkin cream cheese with the Trader Joe's bagels. I believe they're seven points apiece but Western Bagel just released their alternative mini pumpkin bagelette. You can see these are a little bit smaller bagels. These are delicious. They're one point apiece. If you have two bagels, it ends up being three points which is WWMAP. They are 60 calories apiece. These are incredible. They're the perfect little bagel. They're perfect if you're craving a bagel but you don't want to spend seven points and again, pop on some of the Trader Joe's pumpkin cream cheese and you're literally in pumpkin heaven. So these are very, very, very limited time, limited release. I do have a discount as well for Western Bagel so I'll put that down below. If you love pumpkin bagels and you don't want to spend seven points, get these because they are so good. I have lots more pumpkin stuff so we're going to go right into the next one which is this pumpkin walked into a bar. These are Trader Joe's spin on the NutriGrain bars. These are so good. They're so good. It has that NutriGrain outside with this really delicious pumpkin filling. It's very sweet. It's very spicy. Out of the, this walks into a bar bar. Here's Trader Joe's. This one is hands down my favorite. So I'm definitely going to stock up during the fall season. So, so good. And I think this would be great for kids too. It's a quick, easy thing you could throw in a lunch bag or keep in a desk drawer and this one, really good. Also Verb Energy released their pumpkin spice latte bar. You guys know my obsession with Verb Energy. I love Verb so much. I'll go ahead and show you the size of these bars. They are 90 calories a piece, three points per bar. They have 65 milligrams of caffeine. So the same amount is a shot of espresso. This pumpkin spice latte is absolutely delicious. Here's the size of the bar. They're a little small but they're only three points and what I like these for is pre or post workout or anytime during the day that I need a little bit of pick me up. I find myself gravitating towards these as part of my afternoon snack for that little bit of pick me up. It is all natural caffeine from green tea so there's no additives or toxins in these bars. They're really, really good. You can get a sample bag which is this bag here that contains 12 bars, the flavor of your choice for 52% off. I'll make sure they're linked down below for you. They also throw in four or five other bars so you can try some different flavors. But if you love pumpkin and you love pumpkin lattes, this verb energy bar is chef's kiss. My last pumpkin favorite comes from Choco Love. These are the pumpkin spice individually wrapped chocolates. I share these on my Instagram and my Facebook group. I think this is the third or fourth bag I've bought and I'm going to buy some more because I'm completely out. These are incredible. They're 33% milk chocolate. They are filled with this pumpkin pie goodness. They are only two points per chocolate. Three of them is only 130 calories and the ingredients are perfection. They have nice clean ingredients, so, so good. I had to go back and pick up that same brand in the peanut butter ones. These are 55% dark chocolate. Three of these is 170 calories, so good. Now they are a little bit expensive. It's about $9 a bag but the ingredients are good. They're a perfect sweet treat. This one though, oh my goodness, gracious. It's amazing. These are good but I definitely love these. I found these at Natural Grocers. I've heard they're at Whole Foods. I scoured the internet. You pretty much can't buy these anywhere. I found one website that carries them, so I'll link that website down below for you. But highly, highly, highly recommend if you want a clean, sweet treat. These are incredible. These are also really good. I would rate these 10 out of 10 and these 8 out of 10. And my last WW food favorite is another popcorn. You can see I've been kind of on a popcorn cake. This is the Trader Joe's Maple Flavored and Sea Salt Kettle Corn. This is so good. You can have one and a half cups for 150 calories. It smells like maple syrup. So it's that sweet, salty, like the perfect sweet and salty, so, so, so good. Now the ingredients in here aren't bad. They do use sunflower oil but it is hyalia sunflower oil. There is natural flavors in here but it's made with maple sugar. So not a bad sweetener. It's really good. And it's seasonal if you have a Trader Joe's. At least pick up a bag to try it. One of my favorite seasonal items. Now let's jump into my home favorites. I actually have quite a few to share with you. Some seasonal and some items that I picked up that I am loving. First up is the Mrs. Meyer's Apple Cider Scented Dish Soap. This also comes in a countertop cleaner as well as a hand soap. Oh my gosh. This is fall in a bottle. It's so good. It's appley, it's spicy. Now I bought mine off of Grove Collaborative. Been a member of Grove for a couple of years. I order from them every month. I find that their prices are better than in store. I will link Grove down below. I think they have a free gift set valued at $35 from Mrs. Meyer's when you sign up for Grove. I know you can also find this at local stores like Target but this Apple Cider one is incredible. I buy mine from Grove. It comes to my doorstep. It ships for free. So good. So really, really recommend this if you like fall scented cleaning supplies. Next up is this little contraption from the brand Joey. Now I saw this on TikTok and I had to go buy this. This is a produce storage container. So you set your produce item in here. I mainly use this for lemons, avocados. You could use this for onions and then you put the lid on. But you can see that the lid is flexible. You can push out on it. Let me show you with my mouse. So say this is your piece of produce. You set that in the tray and then you put the lid on but see how it pushes it out so that you can secure the lid and store your produce. So this thing is really cool. It was really affordable. I just bought it off of Amazon and I've been using it like I said for lemons, onions, avocados. It keeps everything nice and fresh. And the fact that this expands you can put quite a large produce item in here for storage. Next up is this pumpkin spice room spray from Walmart from the mainstays brand. This smells so good. Oh, so pumpkin-y, so delicious. This is 50 cents at Walmart. And this is a big container. It's four ounces for 50 cents. So if you're looking for an affordable room spray and you want something fall scented this one smells really good. It's very pumpkin-y. It's very spicy. I feel like it lingers in the air for a while and it's 50 cents. Next up is my Gretcho portable blender. I shared this in a weigh-in video with you guys. This is a portable blender. So all you do is hit the button and it blends your smoothie, your protein shake, whatever you need on the go. I have been loving this. I've taken this to my real estate office a few times and I was able to make a protein shake on the go. It's super affordable. It comes in lots of colors. They did offer a discount code. If that code is still active I'll link everything down below for you. But if you want a portable blender I highly recommend this one. It is super powerful. I have been loving it. It's small, it's compact. Oh, and it fits in your cup holder. So it's great on the go, great for the office. Love, love, love. And my last home item is this amber colored glass soap dispenser. Now as you know, we remodeled our bathroom a few months ago maybe six or seven months ago actually and we've been looking for the perfect soap dispenser that matches our colors, matches our decor. I bought one of the foaming ones from Target and I hated it. The little nozzle thing here kept falling off. And I saw these on Grove Collaborative for $13.95 a piece. It is glass. I bought them along with my apple cider soap from my last Grove order. These are gorgeous. They're huge. They hold a lot of product. The soap comes out perfectly in their $13.95 on Grove. So if you're in the market for a really nice pretty soap dispenser really good quality. I mean, it is heavy, high quality. Definitely check these out on Grove. I think it even came in other colors but I went ahead and went with the amber glass. And my last home favorite are these ginormous candles. These are from Target. They're from the brand Opel House. This is their seasonal flavor in simple crisp candied apple. I mean, this is a huge candle. It's 15 ounces. It smells incredible. It's a three wick candle. And these big Opel House candles are $10 at Target. So we've been going through these like crazy. It's bigger than a Bath & Body Works candle and it's only $10. It has really good throw. The scent lasts really well in your house. I've been loving these. I ordered a couple when they were summer and now they've got their fall scents. I'm assuming they'll come out with Christmas scents. These are fantastic candles, $10 apiece. I'll link them down below on Target. If you just want to order online, it may be easier and there may be a bigger variety. I bought mine online but I love these and you can't beat it for $10. And last but not least for September favorites of course are Beauty Skincare and then I have an actual like personal care product I wanna share with you as well. So first I'm going to start with this foundation brush. So this is a dupe for the Moda brush, the large Moda brush. It has a flexible top. This brush is my favorite for foundation. So I'll apply my foundation. I use a liquid illuminator and a foundation. I'll dab that on my face and then I will brush it into my skin with this brush and then bounce my Beauty Blender over the top just to make sure it gets really synced into my skin. This little foundation brush thing has been a complete game changer for me. This brush really gets the foundation applied nice and evenly. And then I just go in with a damp Beauty Blender and just make sure I press it all into my skin. This one I bought off of Amazon because I bought the Moda brush set and found that I was really only using the big one, hopped onto Amazon and found a two-pack for less than $10. So I'll link these down below if you're looking for a really good foundation brush. Highly recommend and can't beat it for $5 a piece. When I wash these, I just throw them into my laundry in a laundry bag and it cleans them up perfectly. Next is a concealer that I have been loving. Now listen, I'm almost 46 years old. I have fine lines and wrinkles under my eyes and I hate concealers that settle into my fine lines that make them look creepy or dry. And I love the Catrice Foundation. I'll be sharing that with you a little bit later. So when I ordered a refill of my foundation, I bought the True Skin Concealer. This is their 18-hour hydrating concealer. I have the color Warm Macadamia. Now this is what I'm wearing under my eyes today. I'm obsessed with this concealer. It is so inexpensive. It does not settle into my fine lines. I've been wearing it for several hours now and you can't see fine lines and wrinkles. It covers really well. It's hydrating. I've been using the Marc Jacobs one that is four times the price of this. This concealer is amazing. I bought it on the Catrice website. I know that Ulta also sells this brand. So I'll link whatever I can find down below but highly recommend if you're over the age of 40 or if you just need a really hydrating concealer. Here's the foundation from Catrice. This is the True Skin Foundation. I have the color Neutral Hazel. This went viral because Tati here on YouTube talked about this foundation. It's about $11 and this is her Holy Grail foundation. It is better than the expensive foundations. I haven't had one better than this one. It's the one I'm wearing on my skin today. It looks flawless. It gives coverage. It gives hydration. It doesn't look like you're wearing Kiki foundation and it's $11. So I just went on to the Catrice website and bought another foundation and a concealer. Highly, highly recommend both of these products. Next is the lip color that I'm wearing today. This is the brand new Too Faced Melted Matte Color from their Holiday Palette, their Cinnamon Roll Palette. This lip color smells like cinnamon rolls. So when you apply it on, you taste cinnamon frosting goodness. It is a matte lipstick so it does dry down. I just always pop on a gloss over the top. But this color screams fall to me. It's very neutral. I love it. It's a really nice formula. So I'm really glad that I bought this. I did not buy the eyeshadow palette. It's a little too neutral for me but I did go ahead and pick this up and I have been loving it. Next is my highlighter from Jaclyn Hill. This highlighter, I love this. This is in the color Iced. This is the highlighter I have on today. I really like this highlighter. It is the perfect champagne color. Great for a lot of different skin tones. It goes on nice and smooth. But what I love most about this highlighter is it doesn't just sit on my skin. I feel like it just melts into my skin and gives me that really pretty highlighter glow. Love, love, love this. It is worth the money. I actually got this for 50% off during the all to 21 days of beauty but I would buy this at full price. It's that good. Next up is a skincare product and this is actually from Tarte. This is their Baba Boom moisturizer. It has the little lid that you push on and the moisturizer comes out here which I really like for sanitary reasons. You don't have to dig into the container. This is a very, very good daytime moisturizer. Now I don't find it moisturizing enough or thick enough for nighttime but it's a great daytime moisturizer. I got this in a Tarte mystery box and I would absolutely buy this again. I've really been liking it and it's about gone. That's how much I use it for daytime. I apply this right under my makeup every day for some hydration. I really, really have been impressed with this. Next up is one of my holy grail under eye products. This is the Milani Supercharged Under Eye Tint. I love this. So I do have a little bit of dark circles under my eyes. I do have a little bit of normal discoloration. I am over the age of 40 so I have a lot of fine lines. I use this before I apply concealer. This color corrects but it also adds some hydration under my eye. It's super affordable because it's Milani. I have tried so many under eye correctors, drugstore, high end. This one is the best out of all of them. A little bit of this goes a very long way. This tube will last forever. If you suffer from any under eye discoloration or dark circles, definitely give this a try. It is well, well worth it. Next up is this little pack of makeup erasers. So these are a six pack of miniature makeup erasers. I bought these on the Sephora website. I got the mushroom design but they have so many different designs including SpongeBob and it does have a little ribbon on the back and I love these for removing my makeup. They are the perfect size for the face. They come in this little makeup bag here. I just store them in here and then I just wash them in my washer. They work so good. They're so soft. I've washed all of these. They feel equally as soft as when I first bought them. The shape of them stays intact and they just work really good for taking off your makeup. So again, they do have several different patterns. I think the mushrooms are really cute but I have been loving these. Next up is this cream blush in the color Honey Thief from Melt. Now you know how much I love cream blush. This is such a pretty color. This is actually the color that I'm wearing today. It's kind of a coral color. It gives me summer vibes but I paired it with this kind of smoky eye look today and I think it looks really, really nice. This is the first melt product I've ever purchased. I've heard really good things about their cream blush. It did not disappoint. It is so good. It blends perfectly on the skin. It sits really nicely. It doesn't sit on top. It actually kind of melts into the skin. Hence the name Melt but I really, really like this cream blush. I love this. I will be buying some other colors. Really recommend the Honey Thief if you have a skin tone similar to mine. Really, really love. And lastly as always, we have to end the beauty favorites with an eyeshadow palette. This one is newer to my collection. This is the original Norvina palette from ABH or Anastasia Beverly Hills. I did actually buy this palette during the Ulta 21 Days of Beauty. So I got it for half off but I think it is the perfect color story for fall. It's neutral but it has some fun color pops of purple in here. The formula of this eyeshadow palette is really, really, really good. It also comes with a brush. Now a lot of the brushes that come in eyeshadow palettes are subpar but this one is actually really, really good. This eyeshadow palette in my opinion is worth the full price. If you want a really good fall colored palette the colors blend really well. The staying power is fantastic. Love, love, love this. I'm really glad that I added this to my collection. I did buy this on Ulta again. I will make sure it's linked down below. Great fall palette, great neutral palette. So those are my September favorites.
