It's that perfect, in-between the seasons weather when summer is officially over and you just want to curl up with your favorite cozy blanket (I have to leave a foot or two out, I don't want to encourage a hot flash, am I right?!). You know that familiar feeling when the leaves change and you get that hint of crisp autumn in the air? We're with you! October is the perfect month to get cozy and your home is the perfect place to start.
Ready to find your calm...? Here are a few things that you can do to reset your home and mind this fall as we slow down and get ready to enter the holiday season.
01 Natural Decor
Instantly bring warmth and texture into any space. Adding these simple touches throughout your home can bring you back to nature and ground a space, making it feel more intentional, which creates a tranquil atmosphere helping you relax and recharge.
02 Comforting Scents
It's that time of year for Pumpkin Spice everything! Do you love all things Pumpkin Spice, but draw the line at scented candles, room sprays etc...? Us too. Seasonal store brands can often times be too strong and overpowering. We want subtle hints of warm woodsy notes and sweet exotic aromas to set the vibe for our fall home sanctuary. A place where we can sit in our favorite spot as we inhale and exhale the long day away. When choosing, be sure to look for natural grade waxes and wicks that are free from (hormone interrupting) harmful additives.

03 Cozy Throws & Pillows
I love incorporating different patterns and textures with cozy throws and pillows. In my opinion, it's the simplest way to transform a space with the changing of the seasons. This isn't about redecorating. It's about finding one space in your home...whether a favorite chair or corner of the sofa and making it your sanctuary. It's a place you find calm when the world feels a little too loud.
04 Grab A Cup Of Cozy
There's nothing better to warm you up on a cool fall evening, than a steeping hot cup of tea. I love my coffee, but I reserve that for the morning time (that first cup of coffee to get me going will never be given up. I don't care what anyone says!). This is a great way to quiet your mind and unwind in preparation for a restful sleep. Turning a space into one that truly supports you.
Just as nature gets ready for the season, so do we. It's a beautiful thing to prepare our own spaces with simple ways to make them feel more peaceful, from changing scents to creating our perfect comfy corner.
Fall Reset Checklist
-
Natural decor - Look for natural elements, better yet head outside into your own backyard. You'll be surprised what you might find.
-
Comforting scents - Keep in mind that what emits from a candle is also being disbursed into the air in you home. Opt for natural clean burning candles free from irritants. Shop candles here.
-
Cozy throws & pillows - You don't need stash away dollars for a pillow/throw budget each season. Just add one or two to freshen it up, if needed. Don't be afraid to mix colors and textures.
-
Cup of cozy - All teas are not made alike. When shopping around, make sure you look for high quality tea leaves and herbs for maximum flavor profiles. Shop tea here.
Thanks for checking out my blog! I love taking this opportunity to share my knowledge and things that I have learned and picked up along my own wellness journey with you.
I truly believe that Self-Care is so important at this stage of midlife and beyond. Finding time to nurture our minds and bodies should be a priority over everything else. Learning to honor those moments takes time. We work long shifts and take care of everyone and everything else, first. Most of us are moms...that's just what we do.
But... it's time we start thinking about ourselves, because things are shifting within us (and on the outside). The best thing we can do is pay attention and don't ignore our thoughts and feelings. Being kind to ourselves and the environment we live in goes a long way.
