Fall is officially here!
Those chilly mornings and cool nights have officially entered the chat, and honestly, I’m here for it. There’s something about October that makes me want to slow down, get cozy, grab a good book, light a candle and think about what’s next.
And speaking of what’s next… we only have three months left in 2026! 😳
How is that even possible?
Before we know it, we’ll be welcoming 2027. So the question is: Are you ready for the last chapter of 2026 and everything a new year could bring?
As for me, I’ve been busy working on a few things, creating, traveling, reading and continuing to build the vision.

Book Lovers, I Have Something Coming! 📚🎄
If you know me, you already know I love books, and I’m excited about what’s coming next with Cece Book Club.
I’m putting together a Christmas Book Box for my book worms, and I’m really excited about all the different things I’ll be adding to it.
This is just the beginning of some of the ideas I have for Cece Book Club. I want it to be more than just reading a book. I want us to have fun, connect, discover new books and create experiences around our love of reading.
And I Have a Reading Challenge to Celebrate! 📚🎉
I also officially completed my A–Z Book Challenge!
I challenged myself to read a book for every letter of the alphabet, and I’m proud to say I made it all the way from A to Z.
It was definitely a journey, and some books surprised me, some made me think, and some became favorites along the way.
If you want to see the books I read and check out my A–Z Book Challenge, you can check it out on the blog!
And of course, this just makes me even more excited about what’s next for Cece Book Club.
So if you’re a book lover, make sure you’re following along and sign up for the Christmas Book Box!
The holidays will be here before we know it. 🎄📖
It’s Almost Shopping Season! 🛍️
And since we’re heading into the holiday season, I’m also continuing to add things to my Amazon Store and Fashion Nova Store.
Whether you’re looking for something for yourself, holiday gifts or just a little something you didn’t know you needed until you saw it… 😂, make sure you check them out.
I’ll be adding new finds every week, so there will always be something new to discover.

A Little Recap From Destin 🌴
My birthday trip to Destin, Florida was so nice!
Beautiful views, fun experiences, good food and just getting away for a few days was exactly what I needed.
One thing I definitely want to share if you’re planning a Destin trip is the hotel we stayed at. It was spacious, comfortable and so close to Henderson Beach State Park.
If you’re planning a trip to Destin, check out my hotel recommendation and see if it might be a good fit for your next getaway.
And yes… I’m already thinking about where the next adventure might take me. 👀

Bring On the Fall Candles 🕯️🍂
Is anybody else ready for cozy fall vibes?
Give me a good candle, a blanket, a journal, a book and a chilly evening, and I’m good!
I found a fall candle that I think is perfect for the season, so of course I had to share it with you.
Sometimes it’s the little things that make a season feel special.

And I can’t forget about one of my biggest personal journeys.
50 States. 50 Stories. By 50.
Right now, I have 3 states down, and I’m officially on my way to State #4!
I’m excited to see where this journey takes me and, more importantly, the stories, people, places and experiences I’ll discover along the way.
I’m not going to tell you where State #4 is just yet…
You’ll have to stay tuned. 😉

The holidays are coming.
2027 is around the corner.
And I have a lot more stories to tell, places to go, books to read, conversations to have and ideas to bring to life.
