Dana VS: September Favorites!

Hello and welcome back!

Can you believe that September is over?!
I know I can't. I was thinking about things I wanted to make a YouTube video about (GO SUBSCRIBE PLEASE!! Link at the bottom!) and I saw a tweet from another YouTuber saying that she's filming a September favorites... And I freaked out because I don't know what happened to the time!

Anyway, I wanted to share some favorites with you that I've enjoyed all month. Some you may have seen, some are new!

First, something I'm currently wearing, a Turbie Twist. 

Excuse my fresh-out-the-shower face...

This is a rather strange device but there's literally no downside so I just keep using it. The Turbie Twist is a super absorbent towel that is designed to wrap around your hair and cut your hair drying time. It doesn't entirely dry your hair, and I don't mind that it doesn't, but it absorbs so much water, my hair dries in less than half the time it would take any other day. It also makes my hair a lot easier to brush than if I stepped out the shower and tried brushing it. I don't know how it does it, but it like prevents tangles from forming.

Next up is a TV show, Once Upon a Time. 

Just looking at this I can hear the theme song...

I watched the first three seasons in quick succession last year and had been patiently awaiting Netflix to get the fourth season after it ended on television. (I don't have cable so I can't watch it live... And I'm too lazy to watch it online the day after.) But I zipped through the fourth season during September and I fell in love with it again! The characters, the plot, the everything!! I think it's very well done!

Next is something you guys have seen before.

Tanya Burr Cosmetics eye shadow pallet: Fairytale

I said it before and I'll say it again, I LOVE this pallet! The colors work so well together, bend super easy, and blah blah blah. If you want to know more about the pallet, go see my Tanya Burr Cosmetics blog post!

Moving right along is another thing you've seen before.

Rimmel London Show Off Lip Velvet: Meteoric Matte

Super smooth application, gorgeous color, stays forever, hydrating matte formula, sign me up!
Everything I've ever wanted from a lip product, I found in this matte liquid lipstick (I think it's a liquid lipstick??) and I can't wait to buy this in more shades!

Next is a candle!

Yankee Candle: Absolutely Autumn

I only have the small $1.99 version at the moment but I know I'll be buying this candle in a larger size soon. It smells amazing, like a spiced autumn day. It's kind of a manly scent, a deeper spice, but to me it smells like cuddling with my boyfriend on a chilly evening... very descriptive, I know. Anyway, this is a great autumn scent.

And finally, my last September favorite is a book!

The Creative Writer's Notebook by John Gillard

I am a Creative Writing major and so this book drew me in instantly. I bought it from Barns and Nobel ages ago for around $8 but didn't get around to working in it until now. It is separated by 'chapters' started with advice and about famous authors such as J.M. Coetzee and Virginia Woolf and then has a couple pages of exercises to help get the juices flowing. I love the exercises and really enjoy reading the advice.

So that's my favorites! It was really hard to choose what I've been loving during September but it's probably because I've never done one of these before!

Thanks for stopping by! What have you been loving during September?

Much love,
Dana
