Hey lovelies.
October is here! Excuse me whilst I get out the fairy lights, light the gingerbread scented candles and carve my pumpkin. If you can't tell this is my favourite time of year!! It's that time of year when the leaves begin to fall from the trees, and the days become shorter with much colder nights, perfect to be snuggled up under a blanket with a mug of tea. I also love those mornings when the suns shining but there's a cool breeze in the air. In spirit of my excitement for these autumn days, I thought I would share a little post of everything I love about this time of year.
Halloween -
Gone are the days of dressing up as a witch or as a pumpkin with my face looking like I've just dunked it in a bowl of bolognese. Also no more trick or treating, so I have to buy myself the goodies now, this kind of sucks. I adore creating fun Halloween make up looks now a days and decorating my room with fairy lights. Yes, at 16 I still love to carve a pumpkin, not always the most successful and I do always tend to go for the bob standard face with razor sharp teeth. But I love it none the less.
Cold Evenings -
Hello fluffy blankets and warm mugs of hot chocolate. Finally there is no more uncomfortable sweating on a night with the irritating sound of the fan in the background. Autumn is my favourite time of year to really get stuck into a good book, all you need is some candles lit and a snuggly blanket, then you're good to go. It's all the perfect time to throw on your big winter coat and boots, and go for long autumnal walks.
Gingerbread Lattes -
I'll hold my hands up now and admit that I do not like pumpkin spice lattes. I know around this time of year everyone starts getting excited and it's all everyone orders from Starbucks, but as much as I try to like them, I can't, However, instead I absolutely love gingerbread lattes this time of year. My mum has now started to buy the sachets too, so I don't have to walk to get myself one. And the sachets actually taste pretty good too.
Blanket Forts -
You know when you have friends round and you just want to watch films all snuggled up? Well sometimes the sofa just doesn't cut it. Grab as many blankets and pillows as you can, and just lay it out all cosy and throw some fairy lights on. I love doing this and grabbing some food to watch a movie.
Bonfire Night & Roasting Marshmallows -
I almost forgot to include this. Bonfire night is one of my favourite nights in Autumn, standing around a fire and drinking mould wine with family and friends. I love doing this because I'm that person that loves the smell of smoke from fires, and blown out candles too. Why hasn't this scent been made into a candle yet?! Also roasted marshmallows. Need I say much more. They just taste great, and they're cute too. I always roast marshmallows and then put it between two chocolate digestive biscuits. If you haven't tried this yet, try it. Thank me later.
That's just a few things that I love about autumn, I didn't want to bore you with loads! What do you love about autumn?
