Fall Dreaming

          As a fall girlie, each season that is not fall I find myself wishing for fall. There are many things I like to do when fall comes in September that put me in the Fall feeling. There are many of those things that can be done during other seasons when you just want that feeling of fall. Today I will be talking about those things I do to give myself that fall vibe even in the middle of summer.

          One of my favorite things to do when I want that Fall vibe is to bake a Fall treat. This could be cookies, breads, muffins. It could be pumpkin or apple or even just cinnamon. I love to take that time to just bake and concentrate on just that, slow down a moment. Much like I like to do during the Fall. The sweet smell of cinnamon fills my home and makes the atmosphere cozy. When the treats are done and ready to eat, it’s fun to sit down with a piece and a mug of tea or coffee and enjoy.

          Another way to bring those Fall vibes is to watch something that gives off Fall vibes. Some of my favorite things to watch for this are Practical Magic, Gilmore Girls, a scary movie like Scream or Halloween. You can sit down with your baked treat, a warm, cozy beverage and tuck into a show for a fun Fall inspired afternoon.

           To finish off the Fall vibes, light a fall candle. Scents of cinnamon, apple, pumpkin, and leaves. The simple act of lighting a candle can completely transform the ambiance of a room. You could even light candles and add them to your cozy movie night and watch with candle light.

           I hope this helps you the next time you are missing Fall and just want to have the feel of your favorite feeling, even though it’s summer and ninety degrees outside.
