Ever since I was little, autumn had always been my favourite season. Harvest moons, snuggling in front of the fireplace with a warm cup of tea, the beautiful reds, oranges and yellows everywhere and the musky smell of leaves that fill the air, all bring immense joy to me.
1. Cozy sweater weather
A good sweater is definitely essential for autumn. Being wrapped in that cozy fabric just makes you forget all your worries. Every summer, I longingly stare at the mass amount of incredibly warm sweaters I’ve accumulated, saddened by the fact that it’s still much too hot for them. As soon as autumn comes around, I immediately break out my sweaters and happily wear them nonstop until spring.
2. Halloween
Whether you’re trick-or-treating or not, Halloween is always lots of fun. Having a scary movie marathon with your friends, baking spooky Halloween treats, dressing up in costume, carving pumpkins, or even just handing out candy are all fun festivities that I love. No matter what age, Halloween will always be awesome.
3. Seasonal drinks
Autumn just isn’t complete without pumpkin spice lattes, apple cider and maple tea. There’s something about the combination of sweet and spicy, which just screams autumn and immediately warms you up.
4. Leaves
The distinct colors and smells of all the autumn leaves fill the streets every year, signalling that fall has finally arrived. Looking around at all these magnificent colors, walking down the street and listening to the sound of the leaves crunching beneath my feet really makes me enjoy nature just a little bit more.
5. Bonfires
Getting cozy around a fire pit and roasting marshmallows will always be the perfect fall activity. With the heat of the fire tingling your face and the cool, brisk air all around you, it’s the perfect combination of hot and cool to feel both snug and refreshed at the same time.
