When I was small I used to resent the fall season – I grew tired of it after the first week of school. However, as I got older I learned to enjoy it and now I am actually looking forward for autumn to begin. Below are some ways to enjoy the fall season:

• Getting & wearing a new fashionable coat/jacket/cardigan
• Getting & wearing a colourful and/or cozy fluffy scarf
• Getting & wearing new boots (especially in trendy colours like burgundy or purple)
• Starbucks seasonal drinks!
• Preparing seasonal meals – like pumpkin or apple pie
• Decorating home with fall arrangements (like colourful leafs, seasonal flowers or pumpkins – why not?)
• Indigo’s seasonal candles – I love the ones that smell like fireplace, crispy apple and other fall scents
• More reasons to use a fireplace
• More reasons to wrap yourself in a warm fluffy blanket
• Master a seasonal drink recipe – hot spicy chocolate is my favourite
  • Boil milk then add few spoons of dry cocoa powder
  • Add few spoons of chocolate chips (the ones used for cookies)
  • Add few red pepper flakes
  • Stir everything, reduce the heat
  • Remove from heat when the chocolate chips have melted

• More time to read your favorite books or watch new TV (I always have a selection of my favorite movies for every season)
• More reasons (or excuses) to snuggle with your pet (like your cat or dog)
• Seasonal markets bring this nice vibe – filled with seasonal fruits, veggies and fresh jams – how can one miss it?
• Perfect time to walk outside (or in the park, especially if you can pick the right kind of mushroom)
• Beautiful time to take pictures (hello Instagram!)
• A lot of good movies are often released in fall (Like Bridget Jones next week!)
• Fall opens the season of baking – what can be better than a warm cookie or pie just from the oven?
• and many more!
