MONDAYS WITH MELANIE October 11, 2021

For my vegetarian friends, Sweet Potato Red Lentil Curry. I’m convinced my carnivore friends would love this too!

Drooling! Quick Cook Cheese Risotto from Bev Cooks - follow her!! She’s hilarious and has a great food blog.

Darrin and I have enjoyed our Monday lunch dates. We try our best to find someplace new to us. Our plan is to eat at Best Regards Bakery & Cafe soon! We have heard great reviews from friends. I popped in last week and bought a few bakery items. So good!

Looking for a fun date night? Check out the Conductor Club at Union Station. Willy Wonka inspired cocktails & shareables until the end of October. Be sure to make a reservation.

How about a wine tasting at Pierpont’s?

BUYING - Obsessed with this website. I love the look of sheer/nude fishnet tights for the colder months. If you’ve never worn hosiery before, you are missing out on the endless possibilities of the patterns, textures and the fun element of being a bit bolder LOL :) GO FOR IT! I ordered black and sheer nude. I will give you my honest review in a few weeks.

If you get an opportunity, make plans to attend an art/craft show with Strawberry Swing. The Weston Fall Swing is November 6th. Family fun! They organize the best shows with so many local artisans! I get so much Christmas shopping done at art fairs.

Oh how cool! J Reiger Electric Park garden bar - They opened October 7th. They have a 8 person swing table! GO!!

On my neighborhood’s website the idea of hosting Halloween on Saturday October 30th instead of Sunday night has been discussed. I love the idea of trick-or-treaters having the weekend to enjoy the festivities (and I know my teacher friends would appreciate this too) :)

Fascinated by this no-heat curls overnight method and for shorter hair

I am totally convinced I can make/sew my own hair tie. Seriously! If I have success making my own, I will let you know! Etsy shop coming soon LOL

Darrin and I are headed to Oklahoma City for a little get away. I have never been! I’d love to hear from you on your suggestions of things to see and do. I have finally upgraded my vanity/toiletry bag. I’m not sure what took me so long! I got so tired of having separate bags for my makeup, jewelry and skin care.

Hoping your week is a good one!
