Attention all bloggers.
I have a very important announcement to make:
PUMPKIN SPICE SEASON IS UPON US. I REPEAT. PUMPKIN SPICE SEASON IS UPON US.
With the smell of fresh, crisp air and the crunch of orange and yellow leaves, everyone knows what season it is. Fall is perhaps my most favorite season of them all: It's not too hot and not too cold--it's just right. For all of my fellow fall/autumn lovers out there, this article is for you. Here is a list of the many, many reasons I love fall.
