Sesame Street Archives – Wellness & Wanderlust

Does anyone else feel like February came and went in the blink of an eye? This month has been an especially busy one for me, with a weekend vacation to Tampa and St. Pete, a day of park-hopping at Disney, a Breakfast at Tiffany’s themed dinner, the Orlando Apollos launch game, and a trip to Wonderworks, along with a two-week bout of laryngitis. My happiness project is still going strong, and I’m excited to share my recap of Month 2 on tomorrow’s blog. 🙂

As the temperatures drop slightly and the leaves begin changing colors (except in Florida, where we will experience one or two cold fronts in December and January), we move closer and closer to the beginning of the fall season. This passage of time, of course, brings with it new trends in entertainment, fashion and the ways we go about our daily lives. So what’s new and exciting in September? Find out here! 🙂
