Excited for October

Today I'm linking up for Five on Friday and sharing my excitement for October! So much is happening, and I only have the first half of the month planned out so far. Let's get to it.

Carmel Road Trip - First Weekend
I am SO excited to be driving up the coast to Carmel to do a B&B review! I've lived in CA my whole life but never been that far north (I've been to SF but always flown). Not only do I get to see Big Sur, Monterrey, and tons of gorgeous coastline, but I get to stay for free at an adorable hotel in the little town where Clint Eastwood resides.

Knott's Scary Farm - A Few Days Later
My favorite thing about Halloween is being scared. I know, I'm crazy. A local theme park (home to Charlie Brown and friends) transforms into mazes and terrifying characters and I try to go every year. This year my friend bought my ticket as a birthday gift and I'm ready to scream my head off and be chased by monsters.

New England Fall Trip - Second Weekend
We don't have a real fall in Southern California but it's my favorite season...through pictures. I been to Boston for a quick work trip but didn't get to see much.  I've always wanted to do a legit  NE fall foliage trip so I'm making it happen. I'll do a day in Boston, one in New Hampshire and another up the Maine coast.

Potential New 'Do - Third Weekend
I am currently light blonde but considering going with a sombre balayage look. I have done ombre styles in the past, but this time I'm thinking really subtle. I feel like with light hair it's a fine line between amazing and horrible, though. I like Brielle's look a lot (photo courtesy of her IG). Opinions please!

Gwen Stefani in Concert - Third Weekend
I've seen No Doubt in concert but never Gwen by herself. I am ready for a fun night with a friend and acting silly as I belt our Gwen's jams. And I feel like Blake is going to be there for sure so that'll be adorable to see them on stage together. And hello, Eve. High school flashbacks!

Have a great weekend!
