I feel like I am early to the game with this post in my real life but behind 10000% in the blogging world lol Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE Christmas and usually decorate pretty early but I can’t seem to keep up with things this year. So without more talking {beacuse there is a lot to look at}, I will just go right into it!

I would love to know which category was your favorite?! I always like to add in a good mix of things because I know Disney is for some people and definitely not for others. But Target and Walmart have some really great things and I ventured out and looked on Anthropology and World Market! Let me know which was your favorite. You can comment below or send me an email at tarynintotravel@gmail.com!
I really don’t usually do blog posts like these because I am by NO means a fashion blogger! I see clothes, I like them and then I share them with the people. I am much more of a lifestyle blogger where I just share the things that I feel like sharing and sometimes those things are clothes lol. Spanx leather leggings are definitely one of those things that I am pretty passionate about! I got my first pair of Spanx leather leggings about fiveish years ago, I got them because I worked for Stitch Fix at the time and I had a wicked discount on them! I took the plunge and bought my first pair. Honestly, I have never looked back! This year during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale I bought a new pair because I had honestly worn the CRAP out of mine and it was just time.
I know that I share them a lot but it is truly because they are my go-to bottoms when we are in the cooler months of the year. They are so easy to style! Basically, there is one rule with Spanx leather leggings… make sure your butt is covered and…then your butt is covered lol that pun might’ve been a stretch lol!
Today I am going to share some different outfits with you guys just so you can see how many ways you can wear them and how easy it is to dress them up or down depending on your occasion! So, without rambling too much more {you guys know how I like to ramble sometimes}, let’s get started!
I always say that these posts are going to be short and sweet so I’m not sure why I start each post by saying that! Lol but I also think that I say that so if you’re new here you don’t to this post and be like “OMG I don’t care how she stumbled upon this recipe standing on a cliff looking out into the water looking at a baby dolphin learning to swim” hahaha! Some recipes just need to get to the point!
I wanted to create a Spooky Halloween Sangria recipe for you guys with things that you probably have in your kitchen! Much like a charcuterie board, I think to some extent…especially with a sangria, you can play around with it and make it what you like. There is a little more wiggle room with sangria because you can literally use any fruit you like, any wine you like.. red or white! You can add rum, brandy, vodka.. pretty much anything you have on hand! So without further ado… I will share the recipe!
This recipe makes one pitcher so if you are wanting more for like a get-together or something, double it! OR triple the recipe depending on how many people are going to be drinking it!
2 bottles of red wine {I used Apothic Red}
Rum {1 1/2 cups}
Splash of apple cider {I added the apple cider to each glass to gauge sweetness depending on each person}
Simple syrup {optional, I thought the apple cider made it sweet enough!}
4 red delicious apples {mostly for the color}
1 large container of blackberries
black sugar sprinkles for the rim of the glass
honey {to get the sugar to stick to the rim
pitcher
skulls {I got mine here}
I would love to see if you decide to make Spooky Halloween Sangria for your Halloween festivities! What are your plans for the weekend? Do you have any? Let me know in the comments below or you can send me an email at tarynintotravel@gmail.com!
So let me start this blog post off by saying that there reallllly weren’t a whole lot of options for us gluten-free people. But this was my first time ever going and it might have been because of the pandemic. I think I tried about 8 food items and then like 4 drinks!
It was nice because everything food-wise was labeled on the menu boards. So I wasn’t having to ask every time I wanted to try something. I appreciate that they added that. They also had things marked for vegetarians I believe! I am going to list the food items in order of my favorite to my least favorite! I will also put which stand they were at next to the food!
Crispy Citrus Chicken with Orange Aïoli and Baby Greens $5.75 {Citrus Blossom}
This was amazing and I kept saying to my mom that it tasted so good it felt like it wasn’t GF.. obviously it was but if you’re gluten-free then you know when you are eating something so good it tastes wrong. Lol 10/10 recommend this!
Lobster Tail with Meyer Lemon Emulsion and Grilled Lemon $8.25 {Citrus Blossom}
Another really great dish! It was a smaller little snack but it was good nonetheless. It was a delicious lemony lobster bite!
Wild Mushroom Beef Filet Mignon with Truffle-Butter Sauce {Canada}
I was really surprised by this one! It was great and was actually a pretty good size for the price! It was served over this really yummy mushroom sauce! The only downside was using a plastic knife. Lol But we were standing at a table anyway so it really wasn’t a big deal.
Chocolate Pudding Terrarium with Avocado Cream, Matcha Crumble, and Baby Herbs {Earth Eats}
I was SHOCKED that I liked this. This was the first thing that I tried this day and omg it was good. There were so many intimidating things that it said it had in it but I tried it anyway and I am so glad that I did. The avocado cream pudding situation was so creamy and delicious. The matcha crumbles..who knew that was going to taste good?! NOT ME. But it was so yummy! And then the herbs were just like decretive little flowers that we didn’t eat.
Crispy Pork Belly with Black Beans, Tomato and Onions $6.00 {Brazil}
This was just sort of meh. The black beans and the pork belly really didn’t make sense together to me but hey, who am I? Maybe it is and I just don’t know! They tasted good separately but I didn’t eat them together in one bite… now I feel like I missed out on something lol
Brazilian Cheese Bread $4.50 {Brazil}
This was okay but nothing special. If you have bought the Brazi bread from the grocery store it pretty much just tasted like that! They were a bit bigger than Brazi bites but still tasted the same.
Now for the drinks…
Bloomin’ Blueberry Lemon and Ginger Tea featuring Twinings of London® with Tito’s Handmade Vodka served in a Mason Jar $15.50 {Earth Eats}
This was absolutely delicious. We convinced the people next to us that they needed it and I would love to figure out how to make it at home. It was very tasty and it came in a cute mason jar. Note to self: don’t put the cup in the dishwasher because it will become deformed and you will have to throw it out.
La Vie en Rose Frozen Slushy $11.75 {France}
I really liked this! It was a great size and was really yummy! It wasn’t anything crazy special but it was tasty and I would order it for myself again for sure.
Orange Sunshine Wine Slushy $6.75 {Citrus Blossom}
It was tasty but it didn’t actually seem like there was any alcohol in it. It kind of tasted like an orange creamsicle! Plus it was VERRRY small.
Byejoe Punch: Chinese Bai Jiu Spirit, Lychee, Coconut and Pineapple Juice $11.00 {China}
It was okay. it had a really strong coconut flavor which was nice but then there was a punch of something not so great right after that coconut flavor and I ended up only drinking like half of it!
3 Daughters Raspberry Lemonade Dry Hard Cider $4.50 {Appleseed Orchard}
Puke. Gross. Worst Cider I have ever tried. I’m usually not this dramatic but I literally threw it away after two sips. The second sip was to make sure it was gross and I wanted to throw it away. Lol
I know that I have mentioned this before but Halloween isn’t REALLY my thing. I am 10/10 more of a Christmas girl. But I will say that I can 100000% get behind Hocus Pocus! Such a classic and I just love it. I think when it comes to Halloween I just really don’t like being scared. And I really don’t like not knowing what’s going to happen. Lol I know I can’t be the only one!
In addition to the Sanderson Witch Museum shirt that I am wearing above I have the Hocus Pocus tee and then also the game! We haven't played it yet but I couldn’t pass it up when I found it! I also have major eyes on the green tie-dye sweatshirt! It’s just so cute! Which is your favorite?! Let me know in the comments below or you can send me an email at tarynintotravel@gmail.com!
