♥ On the WWW:

• For someone who literally craves a physical beach all the time, even in her dreams, this article written by Zadie Smith gave me an entirely new and rather refreshing perspective, which is something I greatly appreciate when I'm reading other people's thoughts. Her explanation of "...A reality shaped around your own desires..." was award-winning, along with the writing itself. In honesty, it made me want to move to Manhattan, but then I realized I may have missed the entire point, so I read it again...and again...one more time, then bookmarked to read later.  I believe I finally understood what she meant by Find Your Beach.
• Reading the beautiful articles from GG's Layers to Self-Discovery Tour had me in a positive mindset all month long and I was so honored to participate and be apart of such an amazing group of writers.
• Thanks to Urban Bush Babes for introducing The Line Up, a collection of super dope street style photos captured by Photographer: Anka Itskovich // IG: @the_line_up
• YouTube Channel: Life with the Logans {via Vicky Logan}

♥ Miscellaneous:

• Food: Why am I just learning that the Rice Crispy treats at Starbucks are amaze-balls? I'll take that with a Salted Caramel Mocha frappuccino, please | Desserts at Café Intermezzo in Mid-town Atlanta
• Shows: Gotham | American Horror Story binge will commence today, for the sake of Halloween *says a prayer*
• Candle: Pumpkin pie candle from Walmart
• The new journal that I recently purchased from Home Goods. My current journal is coming to a close and I can't wait to begin writing in a new one
