From sales to decor inspiration, random buzzed quizzes and even fun halloween activities, take a break from your responsibilities and check out the links below. P.S.

Smart Money tip of the Week (Because you’re too good to be a broke bitch).  If you're young and live in an expensive city… listen to this episode of So Money with Farnoosh Torabi ASAP! She touches on some game-changing tips to help you manage money in a big city and still have fun living there.

Shop 'til You Drop (Hot sales this week): Had a rough week? Maybe a little bit of retail therapy can make you feel better.
    • Shopbop End of Summer Sale: Sale ends on October 1st!Plus, you get free three-day shipping
    • Urban Outfiters is offering 20% off all women's and men's shoes until October 3rd! What day is it? It's October 3rd... if you don't know what movie that quote is from, we can't be friends.
Currently Loving - L'Occtitane Almond Shower Oil. This is my new holy grail. It came in a refresh kit I bought at Sephora almost a year ago, but I never used this product. Then, I ran out of body wash at the beginning of September, and was too lazy to buy more. So I started using this oil, and now I'm obsessed with it. I feel like a luxurious princess every time I use this oil. I think the oil is made from the tears of angels or something, guys... it's so freaking nice and the smell is intoxicating. I am officially a cult fan of L'Occitane.


Decor I Adore: This is some serious NYC (or any small-space living) apartment inspiration.

Pop Quiz: Buzzfeed quiz! How well do you know these 90s cartoons? I got 9/10 right! I guess I'm truly a 90s baby. 

Weekend Vibes:Things to do in...

In other news: there’s rumors of a hocus pocus remake!!! I’m #pissed because it won't include the original cast! Disney stop playing games with my emotions.

Halloween town: It's my favorite time of year again, Top 10 Haunted Places in NYC. Are you planning any spooky activities for October? 

Are haunted places not your scene? Here are a few New York Halloween festivals that I've already added to my monthly calendar! I bet you can find something similar in your area.
