this one is for the girls who want fall plans even if it’s still 87 degrees, the friends who need a reason to leave the group chat, the people who love a niche local find, and anyone who thinks a weekend can include pumpkins, beach air, dance floors, coffee, crafts, and maybe one mildly questionable decision 💁‍♀️

no need to overthink it
pick the cute thing
send the post
make the plan
romanticize the errand if you have to

SWFL has enough going on this weekend to justify putting on the outfit ❤️‍🔥

October plans are officially entering their cozy, crafty, no time to stay home era! 🎃✨

Part one of the October social calendar is here and this one is very much for the girls who want to make something cute, move their body, sip some coffee, meet new people and fully commit to fall plans.

A little reminder though: a lot of these events are ticketed or have limited spots, so if something in this scroll is calling your name, don’t wait too long to claim your spot. 👀

Save this, send it to the group chat, and start building your October calendar before everything good sells out. 💌

This weekend’s guide is for the girls who say I’m keeping it low key and then somehow end up with three plans, a coffee in hand, and a camera roll full of evidence! 📸 💐

No pressure to do it all but also… doing nothing feels a little dramatic when SWFL is giving us this many cute excuses to leave the house. 🤎

Save this before you convince yourself you’ll just figure it out later ☀️

Apparently we DO have fall in Florida… you just have to know where to look. 😂🍂🎃

Introducing PART ONE of your 2026 Fall Guide to SWFL and beyond. AKA my running list of all the places we’re getting our pumpkin patches, spooky sips, fall festivals, seasonal treats and even FALLING LEAVES this year. 👀🍁

Some are right here in SWFL, some are worth a little road trip and all of them are giving us an excuse to pretend it’s not still 85 degrees outside. 🤎

And trust me… I found WAY too many good ones to fit into one post so part two is already coming. 👀

SAVE this for your fall bucket list 🍂
SEND it to the friend you’re forcing to do all the fall things with you 🎃 And tell me what absolutely NEEDS to make part two!

As always be sure to double check dates hours and ticket details with each location before heading out.

🚨 SWFL GIRLIES, CONSIDER THIS YOUR “WHAT ARE WE EATING THIS WEEKEND?” ALERT 🥗✨

Through TOMORROW, September 19th they’re celebrating with a meal deal 👀 so grab your bestie, your lunch date, whoever and go take advantage while you can!!

We tried a little bit of everything (for research purposes obviously 💅🏼) and I was genuinely so impressed by how fresh everything tasted. You can build your own or choose from their salads, wraps, bowls or market plates.

AND the fall menu is officially here. 🍂

My unexpected obsession??? The Honey Adobo Chicken Market Plate. That chicken was SO GOOD and I’m already telling you it’s what I’m ordering next time.

I also LOVE the little details here. Choosing exactly how much dressing you want, meats cooked in small batches, and their reusable MyBowl program where bringing your bowl back gets you a FREE topping with every in store reuse. ♻️

Fresh, customizable, colorful and officially added to my Naples lunch rotation. 🫶🏼

📍 Just Salad | Naples, FL
⏰ Meal deal ends TOMORROW, September 19!

Who are you bringing with you?! 🥗👇🏼

some weekends are quiet and boring.

this is not one of them.

basically, SWFL is giving us soft girl fall, big kid energy, tiny pumpkins, buttercream, bubbles, books, and at least one reason to text the group chat immediately.

save this before the weekend starts making plans without you 🤍

September said one more plan won’t hurt 💌

Part two of the swfl social calendar is here for the girls who somehow always end up saying yes to one more cute little outing, one more workshop, one more girls night and one more “wait this actually looks so fun” text in the group chat.

And yes I am shamelessly sneaking in this amazing trivia night supporting my man because I make the rules around here and this absolutely counts as a social event in my book! Please come out and support.💙

Also your friendly reminder that @sizzledining is happening all month long, so consider this your excuse to work a dinner reservation or two into the calendar while you’re at it. 👀🍸

Save this, send it to your bestie and go make September unnecessarily busy in the best way. 🗓️🪄

Sizzle Dining brought me to Blackbird but that mushroom bao bun might be the reason I go back. 👀🖤

This was one of those dinners where every course just kept getting better. We’re talking gorgeous atmosphere, cocktails that are almost too pretty to drink and HUGE entrées.

We went in for the Sizzle Dining menu, then added a few things we couldn’t resist (looking at you bao bun) and somehow ended the night with a fortune cookie telling me:

✨ Balance is the secret ingredient to success. ✨

And honestly? Ordering both desserts feels pretty balanced to me.

If Blackbird has been sitting on your I need to try that place list, September is your excuse. Sizzle Dining is happening all month long with special prix fixe menus at 100+ restaurants across SWFL. Plus every Sizzle meal helps support Blessings in a Backpack SWFL. 🤍

Come hungry. Seriously.

this weekend’s menu looks a little something like this:

pilates for a purpose
coffee walks + sourdough
empanadas + craft beer
night markets
plant + sip energy
permanent jewelry
books + records
midnight margaritas
country dancing

SWFL is giving us movement, meaning, snacks, sparkle, and several reasons to leave the house

save this one and make some plans before you end up rotting on the couch while everyone else is out living your saved post dreams 🤍

I did the very important research of scrolling through 100+ Sizzle Dining menus so you don’t have to. 🫡🍸🍝

And somehow narrowing it down to TEN was harder than actually deciding what I want for dinner… which is saying something.

These are the 10 Sizzle Dining menus currently at the top of my list and what I would order at each one. A little bit of everything, a few places I already love, a few I’ve been dying to try, and several menus that immediately had me mentally making a reservation. 👀

If you’re new to Sizzle Dining, participating SWFL restaurants are offering special prix fixe menus throughout September. AKA the perfect excuse to finally try that restaurant that’s been sitting in your saved folder for six months.

And the best part? Every Sizzle meal helps support Blessings in a Backpack SWFL, providing meals for local kids in need. 🤍

Consider this your sign to grab your girls, plan the date night, make the reservation, and eat your way through SWFL this month.

These are MY top 10… but there are so many more to explore. 🍴✨

Head to the Sizzle Dining website to find all participating restaurants and menus.

Now I need to know: which one are we booking first?! 🧡💙

SIZZLE BEFORE DINNER?! 🧇🍓🍊

@wafflemonkeybonitabeach said breakfast girls, this one’s for you 🤝

Their Sizzle menu is only $19 per person and you get to choose TWO items from their breakfast or lunch lineup. This is how we ended up with chicken & waffles, a strawberries & cream waffle, a monkey bowl AND a turkey avocado sandwich on our table. 😂

And because breakfast deserves a beverage moment too: fresh squeezed OJ for me and Papi’s Lavender Sangria as their featured Sizzle cocktail. 🧡💙

The chicken & waffles??? Heavenly. Literally said it on camera and I stand by it.

And the best part of eating your way through @sizzledining this September is that every meal is doing a little good too, with $1 from every Sizzle meal sold benefiting Blessings in a Backpack SWFL. 🤍

So consider this your reminder that your Sizzle dining doesn’t have to start at dinner.

🧇 Waffle Monkey
💰 $19 Sizzle menu
🍽️ Choose TWO breakfast or lunch items
🗓️ Available during Sizzle Dining this September
🎒 Supporting Blessings in a Backpack

Breakfast girls… are you going sweet or savory? Because apparently my answer is both. 😂✨
