Are We Really Making The Most of The Fall Season?

So...I have a confession to make. I've become accustomed to just ignoring the beauty of the cooler seasons and I just pack myself around my TV and ignore the world around me just because it's colder. That's definitely not making the most of any season. So I've decided, in this fall season, to make it a practice to take in the season itself. Yes, it's that time of year again-time to welcome in a brand new season.

Since the first day of autumn was 5 days ago, here's a list of things I'm planning on doing this year.

1. Go for a hike.

Breath in the cool, crisp air. Listen to the sound of leaves crunching under my feet.
There's nothing better than a walk on a forest trail this time of year. As long as you have a way to be out and about, you'll be able to enjoy this new season.

2. Collect colourful fall leaves.

3. Watch geese flying south for the winter.

4. Make a big batch of applesauce or cider as the weather gets colder. There's nothing better than applesauce or cider to fit in the season's settings.

5. Bake an apple or pumpkin pie.

(Btw. I got up early and made an apple pie. Yeah. Apple pies have always been a fall favourite of mine.)

6. Throw a Halloween party.

Ready for Halloween yet? We sure are! We love the festivities of Halloween. Emily (Corpse Bride) Halloween Makeup is full of awesome. Getting this Emily (Corpse Bride) Halloween Look is super simple.

Here's an amazing tutorial,  Emily (Corpse Bride) Halloween Makeup Look.

7. Learn to make my own yarn pom poms.

This is a fun and very easy project that you'll really love doing! Making a pom pom requires some yarn (extremely cheap and also likely laying in the closet if your home is like ours.) Here's a detailed tutorial...I loved it so much.

8. Wear my favourite jeans and sweaters. I can't wait to wear this .

What's on your to-do list this fall? I'd love to hear.

Add Cute Social Media Buttons to Your Blog - Going Social + Photos of the Week

Found on athgo

Hello, friends. How are you? Yeah. It's good to be back. So in the last post I mentioned making some changes in an effort to refresh my blog.

What changed? To begin with, I've decided to change my social media approach regarding my blog and integrate social media into my site.

I'm happy to announce that CUT and DRY is finally getting social! There is no doubt that blogs are indeed social media. What I really want to say is that I finally realized that social media is important and I really need to get more actively involved with my social media platforms. Keep in mind that integrating your blog with social media is a great way to maximize your web traffic to your site. So, find some social media icons you like and add them to your site.
Speaking of, social media buttons are easy to set up, most importantly, eye-catching enough to draw reader to your social networks profiles. They also let the visitor stay on the site and share the content on their social media profiles with just a click.

In this post you'll also find some pretty Free Social Media Buttons for your blog. Just for fun!
I've done the rounds of searching for cute social media icons that are free and I found these super lovely sets of social media buttons for you. 
  
Honestly, I can't count the amount of time I have spent surfing on different social media platforms  over the past couple of weeks.
There are probably so many social media channels out there that you can choose from but the trick here is to ensure that every engagement done has a high chance of success as it can be really hard to figure out which ones to use. Is it worth the time investment? How to use them?

Social media can be tricky. Because it can be so time-consuming, but it is still well worth it!
Social networks have become a part of everyone's life- in fact, social media has become a natural part of our daily browsing. Engaging in social media is key to achieving visibility, and for building new on-line relationships.
So I picked...
three social media channels- the ones that work best for me. Remember, you don't need to be everywhere.
Who can actually have time to be active on every social media platform? Who can keep up with it all, it's simply impossible. In trying to be everywhere, we are nowhere. Pick the ones you find suit your blog best. Better to use one or two social media platforms really effectively than it is to spread yourself too thin.

I use Google Plus a lot. I find that Google+ is usually the one I go "easy" on. I keep myself maximum active on G+ just because I love it. We first crossed paths late in 2012 and haven't looked back since.

I don't use Twitter as much and find that there is a little to no activity on my account there in terms of following.

Pinterest, which I use sporadically- I need to reactivate my Pinterest acoount- is a virtual pin board for images, where you categorize things that you love. Pinterest can be a great way to find inspiration...
