Hey Delights!
As much as I enjoy Summer & spending as much time as I can at the beach, I am super excited for Fall & dare I say it, Winter. And to celebrate my excitement I started a daily Instagram photo challenge for October.
I chose the hastag #OctLiveWithJoy because that is exactly what I wanted to do, I wanted to spend October doing simple, fun things that bring me joy. You can find all of my recipes, etc on my Instagram highlights.
{Day 1 – prompt “Fall Decor”}
Entertainment Center w/doors | Quatrefoil Mirror | Similar Grateful Sign | Afro Poster | Guitar | Candle holders – Decor Steals
Leaves – Michaels | Large Vase – Global Attic {previously seen here}| #Blessed Pumpkins/Wooden Candle Holder/Owls – TJMaxx
I have previously participated in Instagram photo challenges but never actually started one. And one of the things that I am loving the most about this challenge is the things that I am being motivated to do. I have been in the kitchen, cooking! Something I love but that I rarely ever do any more. One of the prompts was Tacos for National Taco Day and I made these delicious seitan tacos. p.s Tofutti Better Than Sour Cream is 🙌🏾. This was my first time using it and now I am OBSESSED!
{Day 4 – prompt “Tacos”}
And I made an amazing super chocolate vegan s’mores hot chocolate. I went this route for the “s’mores” prompt because I have to be in the mood for graham crackers. So instead of having it be a big part of what I was making, I crumbled one over the mushrooms and baked it a bit.
{Day 5 – prompt “S’mores”}
And for the first time ever I made apple butter. Something that I would normally buy from the store I realized I could make myself. And it was the easiest thing ever & so delicious.
{Day 6 – prompt “Apples”}
You can of course check out the rest of my daily Instagram photo challenge pics on my Instagram page but I will be sharing more here on le blog. You can also join in at any time if you want to. I am debating if I am doing one for November and currently my thought is yes but we shall see.
