The days are starting to cool down a bit. People are beginning to save fall recipes and fall fashion on Pinterest. Starbucks already has their Pumpkin Spice Latte on the menu. All these signs point to the fact that Autumn is almost upon us. It's the loveliest season of the year--no one can deny it. The trees begin to go dormant, letting their leaves change to fragrant reds, oranges, and yellows; scarves, boots, and sweaters become warm staples in most outfits; and pumpkin spice surfaces as the most popular flavor of everything from desserts to drinks to candles. Not to mention, the world suddenly becomes so cozy. If you're not in the fall spirit yet, it's time to get excited about it. Take the time to connect with yourself, connect with nature, connect with the pumpkins, and simply enjoy everything the season has to offer.
