Hi there! I’m back with the second installment of my monthly faves series and I can’t wait to share what I picked up this month.
I’m currently in Vermont and soaking up as much of the fall beauty as possible. It’s definitely starting to get chilly, but it’s gorgeous just the same. I always tell people, if you’ve never visited this little state, it’s an absolute must! Such an amazing place.
October is always a pretty busy month for me – there’s a holiday weekend which we usually try to escape the city for (this year it was a friend’s wedding in Virginia), my entire family has their birthdays in a span of two weeks (my brother, dad and mom) and then there’s Halloween.
I’ve never really been into Halloween and now that I’m so focused on healthy eating, this holiday is even less appealing to me. All the sugar-loaded candies are filled with chemical and overall junk, that I can’t imagine handing that out to little kids, let alone allowing my kids to eat the stuff.
Thankfully, there actually is a solution! To my surprise there are healthy candies out there that don’t taste disgusting and that kids will actually enjoy.

You know how much I love Thrive Market and so I was thrilled to get an email from them last week with a bunch of ideas for healthier Halloween treats.
