In today's Countdown to Shakira post, I will be ranking her top studio albums, plus some live compilations and a few honorable mentions. I've been a Shakira fan since 2001, so you can trust that I know her music. It all started when I caught the end of the Whenever, Wherever music video one day while my sister…

I have few memories of autumn from my childhood that I replay often in my head. The first, is my Papaw Ova's ghost hanging from a tree in his front yard.

I took a hiatus from everything pumpkin spice for a few years, but my craving for it seems near insatiable this year. Before, I was more of a salted caramel kind of girl.

Halloween season is here, but Christmas is drawing near! 77 days to be exact. That's a little over two months to get ahead. If you don't want to be running around at the last minute, now is the time to start getting ready for Christmas Day. You don't have to put up your tree just yet (unless that's wha…

October came in more like a lion than March ever did. Usually by this time of year, I've got a good routine going. This year my days have been everything but "normal." I've always struggled with being an optimist; it's much easier for me to think of all the worst case scenarios than to imagine a …
