Here are some of my favorite things lately:

Festival and Fair things

September brings many events. And many foods.

Utah State Fair! I recommend the sprinkle dipped ice cream cone or the fried Oreos.

Gilmore Girl things

For the 16th anniversary of Gilmore Girls and in anticipation of the upcoming revival, 200 coffee shops around the country turned into Luke’s Diner for the day. There were two such “diners” in Salt Lake. I missed out on the merch, but I did get to see the sign. The shop was also playing Gilmore Girl episodes on a projector.

Stranger Things

If you haven’t watched Stranger Things yet it deserves some screen time. Some friends of mine had a Stranger Things party and it was a-mah-zing. I loved seeing everyone’s costumes. We even had a friend make a great demogorgon mask.

Barb stole the show [typical]. My “Barb” was more of an homage to what Barb would wear in present time.

SERIOUS BARB FACES. DON’T UNDERSTIMATE A BARB.

Dine O’ Round things

If you haven’t heard of Dine O’ Round it’s basically one time a year where the restaurants of downtown Salt Lake City do special deals/meals. It lasts about two weeks, which trust me, is enough time to do some serious damage.

Dine O’ Round led me to some new places this year, including Taco Taco.

Obsessed with this Taco Taco decor.

I also visited an old favorite, Gourmandise.

Musical things

This was a great show! Now I’m extra-excited for the live action movie to come out.

These were also great [albeit very different] musical shows.

Tegan and Sara! I love them. I’m glad I got to see them [again]. Caity has been with me to witness the magic both times!

Couldn’t leave Tegan and Sara without this jacket. I mean, c’mon.

Cute animal things

Cute animals are kind of a given when it comes to things people love. However, even if you think you’ve seen it all, I recommend you look at this prissy_pig on instagram. These tiny little pigs in pajamas KILL ME. YOU’RE WELCOME.

Ice cream things

I’m obsessed with this flat, Roll With It Creamery ice cream. The only problem is I have to go to Provo to get it.

Fall color things

Finally, what kind of list would this be if I didn’t talk about the colors changing? One of the best parts of living in Utah is experiencing fall here.

Currently: Getting in the October mood with some Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Hope you’re having a good fall, full of your own favorite things.

This weekend I started putting together some new playlists. I spent a lot of time walking around my neighborhood and liberty park this week so I had some time to just listen to music which is always nice; I tend to take my time with music, so it can be a long process haha. I added this song to my  Grrrrl Power playlist (inspired by a viewing of First Wives Club with my friend Karen) and  I really think you should listen to it tomorrow to start your week right (How am I just listening to this? It’s so catchy…).

Currently: had a great conference weekend (with lots of time spent on my latest diy crafty type project) and am now counting down the days until my sister is stateside again.

Playlist Prep

Whether it’s a band I’ve been really excited to see or just a random show I got invited to, I’ve made an unofficial tradition of sorts to create a “get psyched” playlist before I go to the concert or show. This is especially good if you have friends going that don’t know the band as well as you do… or if you’re that friend. Cause let’s be honest, it’s better if you know some words so you can obnoxiously sing along, right? ;)

So, without further ado, here is my get psyched playlist for the Passion Pit show coming up in March (Does this make me a hipster ;) ? ). Icona Pop and Matt & Kim will also be making an appearance. It should be a good time. I’m not sure how I feel about Gossamer yet, but I also haven’t had a chance to give it a good listen ( I figured they’ll play a lot from it, so I tried to incorporate most of the songs). This will probably be my car music for a little while.

Currently: Enjoying one of my favorite quick dinner fixes: A wrap filled with spinach, craisins, a sprinkling of mozzarella cheese, and bacon bits — with Brianna’s poppy seed dressing mixed in. Yum.
