Fall has always been my favorite season. I love how you don\’t need an excuse to bake every weekend, cozy up by the fire with a blanket and watch movies or just hang out by a bonfire. Since today is the first office day of fall, here is a list of things i\’m planning on doing this year.

The Germs Lurking At The Gym

Recently I heard a study about all the yuck that hangs out at the gym – and trust me you don\’t even want to know what you\’re touching. Here are some tips to keep you from catching some nasty stuff…..

Wipe Down the Equipment Before and After Use:
If your gym doesn\’t have wipes keep some in your own bag to use on your skin after your workout.

Use a Towel as a Barrier:
Especially with your yoga mat so your skin never has direct contact.

Don\’t Touch Your Face: Even if you wipe off your equipment there\’s a chance the germs are still lurking. To prevent getting something like a staph infection (yeah that\’s super popular at gyms) definitely avoid contact with your face.

Wash Your Hands Before Leaving The Gym:
To prevent spreading germs on more of your personal surfaces definitely dont skip this!

CND released their Fall 2015 Contradictions Collection and let me tell you it’s the perfect depiction of fall.

Grommet is a navy metallic gunmetal definitely a fall must have for your edgier side.

It’s a neutral pink tone and would look stunning against any skin tone.

Posion Plum brings out your inner evil villain with this moody plum jelly filled with black and red flecks of glitz.

Tartan Punk is a classic red crème. The color is not only going to look stunning in the fall but for the holidays as well. I am not a huge fan of red polish as I feel like it’s too old for me, but this one I’m kind of lusting over. 


Flair

Flair is Focus’ metallic counterpart that offers the fall glow we all desire once the days get duller. Seriously Zoya knows how to make a 90 degree day feel like the middle of fall.
  Ember is a glitzy classic red


Aggie goes for the gold with a touch of blue and green. 

Cinnamon is a stunning metallic brown and would make for a perfect accent nail.

  Estelle takes blue to a whole new level. Cobalt glitz and glam I love it pair with Sia as an accent nail.

  Giada is a deep purple.

Tris is my favorite in this collection it’s a grayish green metallic and very unique in color.

The temperatures are dropping, leaves are falling and the air is turning crisp. Fall is just a brisk minute away and Zoya is ready to steal your heart with their fall collection Focus (crème based) and Flair (metallic based).

Lets talk about Focus, which will have you wanting to throw on a blanket scarf and head to the cider mill immediately.

Charli is an army grayish green and one of my absolute favorites in this collection.

Sia is a bold cobalt blue and is my other absolute favorite in the collection

Lidia is a deep purple with a brighter quality to it.

Desiree is the perfect brown and with football season just underway I see it being used for football nail art in the near future.

Janel is a deeper burnt leaf red.

Hannah is the classic red with a touch of tangerine

Overall I am absolutely obsessed with the Focus collection. Especially Charli and Sia they\’ll be my fall go-tos this year for sure.
