Lime, mint, white rum & top with ginger beer. I like to just mix Crown Royal & ginger beer. Or some spiced rum with hot apple cider.<br /><br />I've been making homemade PSL's, hot coffee, while that's brewing I mix some milk (1/4 cup or so, big spoonful of pumpkin, dash or two of pumpkin pie spice & some brown sugar into my coffee mug, warm that in the microwave til it all mixes together. Then add my coffee. Only downside is the last few sips are gritty and no good. Some of the pumpkin settles to the bottom. But so tasty, and cheap!<br /><br />I'm with you. I'm running the Buffalo Creek Half next weekend, and I'm ready to be done with running for a while. Or at least super scheduled running. It always feels nice to just run when I want to and remind myself how much I enjoy it. I trained for a triathlon during my half training & really enjoyed it. Cross training was BUILT IN to the plan.<br /><br />Longest comment ever, but can't wait to hear how the Towpath half goes for you!Jessie Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11217522564709638588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-298679531196459259.post-18072301612253665082015-10-08T08:54:13.121-07:002015-10-08T08:54:13.121-07:00I've found that as well..it's like they pu...I've found that as well..it's like they put out their worst quality for the sets.

The only thing is -- I have the Tarte one from last year and I honestly wasn't impressed with the quality of the shadows. The colours were gorgeous, but the colour payoff just wasn't there. #makeupgeekAmanda @ .running with spoons.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18299127204504539512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-298679531196459259.post-23592117112316005832015-10-08T07:18:08.048-07:002015-10-08T07:18:08.048-07:00LOVE the scuba hoodie.
