DIY Manicure: Candy Corn


While waiting at the hair salon today, I painted my nails these funky fall colors. 

Do you love it or hate it? 

Army Chic


Cargo Jacket: Urban Outfitters, Floral Dress: Vintage (Brooklyn Flea), Flatforms: Urban Outfitters, Yellow Belt: Roommates Closet, Water Cooler: All Me, Baby. 

Outfit Estimate: $80.00

You're most likely wondering why I posted my outfit next to a water cool. Well, I petitioned for that beauty, all by myself. Having a sufficient amount of water available in the work place is extremely important. Now onto my outfit, today's look was trendy and comfortable. My vintage Brooklyn flea mart find is soft and cozy. I pulled the tags off that cargo jacket this morning and will continue to pair it with outfits throughout the fall season. 

It's getting chilly in the sunny state. Can't wait for you to see my Work Look tomorrow.

Turkey Pumpkin Chili

My Homemade Version

The sunny state has been rainy the last couple of days. So, I decided to research an easy, fall festive soup recipe. Whole Foods is a great site for easy and healthy recipes. If you could smell through your computer screen, your nose would be in heaven right now. 

Check out the recipe below:

Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small yellow onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, cored, seeded and chopped
2 jalapeños, seeded and finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 pound ground white or dark meat turkey
1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, with their liquid
1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin purée
1 cup water
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
1 (15-ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained

Method

Heat oil in a large pot over medium high heat. Add onion, bell pepper, jalapeños and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add turkey and cook until browned. Add tomatoes, pumpkin, water, chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low and add beans. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes more. Ladle chili into bowls and serve.
