Wave goodbye to the scorch and say hello to the warm! I know…I know, it’s tough to say goodbye to our beloved summer, but lets all be real…we’re all super excited for fall. As the end of September slips past us, lets begin wipe away those “bye to the beach” tears and get ready for cozy sweaters, and tasty drinks.
1. Everyday is picture perfect
Looking out your window is like looking directly into a Nicholas Sparks movie background. Bright reds, yellows, and greens fill our surroundings. Perfectly shaped trees, brush and flowers flourish everywhere. Let’s just say fall couldn't take a bad selfie.
2. Until next time bikini body
Winter and Spring made sure you were body ready for summer, but guess what?! Hitting the gym thrice a week, and passing up that whip cream topping on your Starbucks days are o-v-e-r. Fall gives you that three month break to indulge in those snacks you probably shouldn't have, and gives you that relaxation you need. Sorry Winter…making sure I stay in shape is your responsibility.
3. Sweater season
It’s time to bust out those cable-knits, cashmeres, and quarter zips, cause its sweater weather baby! Nothing feels better than a comfy oversized sweater for a semi chilly day!
4. All pumpkin, everything pumpkin
Oh come on, don’t act like you haven't been waiting all year for pumpkin spice lattes!! Now’s the time to admit we’re all a little basic. Chances are if you’re a human being, you love pumpkin flavor. Pies, spice cakes, casseroles, ice cream, the dishes are endless.
5. Halloween AND Thanksgiving
Two amazing holidays not even a whole month away?! What did we do to get so lucky? #blessed.
6. So many activities
Nothing beats picking that perfect orange pumpkin on a warm sunny autumn day. Nothing beats hopping into the back of a hay filled wagon for a festive hayride. Nothing beats fall fairs, apple bobbing, and DIY wreath making. Basically nothing beats fall activities.
7. Sunny and 68
Fall is the perfect temperature. Not too hot, not too cold. That little bit of breeze, and perfect spot of sun makes everyday an enjoyable day.
8. SO MUCH COZY OMG!!
Those warm fuzzy socks in your top drawer have been waiting to make an appearance all year! That sweater in your closet is ready to be shown off. Those furry boots in the bottom of your bin are dying to be worn. That huge blanket in your chest needs you. Fall brings everything soft and snuggly… and I’m so ready to get cozy!
9. Bonfires, bonfires, bonfires
That first shelf in the supermarket isn't filled with graham crackers and mallows for no reason!! Fall bonfires are just too perfect. That crisp wooden fire smell, the melting of the chocolate running down your hand, the amazing illustration of the flames at your feet… indescribable.
10. Fresh air
Hallelujah we can breathe! Fall is one of two times in the year where the fresh air makes it easy to breathe. Plus, that outdoorsy fall smell is so pleasant.
