Happy Friday Eve! I really like Thursdays. There's something wonderful about knowing that tomorrow is Friday. 😊
If I had to list out my favorite seasons, I think they would be winter, fall, summer and then spring. I love each season for a variety of reasons, but winter has to be my favorite. Today I'm sharing the different ways I really try to "lean" in and savor the different seasons. I'm all about romanticizing life, and making each day special.
#1 - my cooking
In the summer I am all about light dishes cooked on the grill. In the fall and winter, I want cozy, comfort foods. This time of year I'm starting to make soups, using richer ingredients and different flavors to make it really feel like fall. Food is a language, and cooking for my family is one of my favorite things to do this time of year.
#2 - drink from a seasonal mug
This brings me a lot of joy. 😊 This time of year, I am reaching for my pumpkin mug to pour in my pumpkin coffee with a splash of pumpkin creamer. Bring it on!
#3 - change my wardrobe
This one is tricky because right now it's 90 degrees out and I'd really prefer a 55 degree day. But - I try to do little changes in how I dress and paint my nails to coordinate the season. I am finding myself reaching for "warmer" colors and my sundresses are being tucked back until next year.
#4 - change my scents
I like to use "cozier" scented lotions and perfumes for this time of year, rather than the lighter floral scents of spring and summer. In my home I am lighting pumpkin and apple scented candles and loving it.
#5 - seasonal playlists
This one may sound silly, but I have a "summer" playlist and a "fall/winter" playlist. Haha. My summer playlist has a whole lot of John Mellencamp, and my fall/winter playlist leans more Michael Buble and Tony Bennett. It's a little way that I can soak up the season a bit more.
That's all for today! I hope my list inspires you to pick up a candle that smells like fall, and make a loaf of pumpkin bread this weekend. Cheers! 🍁
