the arrival of autumn

it is late summer. deep down, your heart & soul yearns for the autumn breeze. one morning, you wake up to the pitter patter of rain on your window. you risk opening it, and you are met with a cool breeze and the smell of rain-washed earth. you grab your favorite cozy hoodie, a pair of fuzzy socks, and unpack your favorite fall candle. your hands warm on a drink as you sit by the window, listening to the rhythm of the rain, taking in every aspect of this perfect morning.

your heart is at peace.

sometimes all you need is an oversized sweatshirt, a burning fall scented candle, drawn curtains, a cup of tea, a pet to snuggle up with, and your favorite fall/halloween movie. 🍂☕

the wind howls through the branches, rustling the leaves. you can hear a distant crow cawing, signaling the sunrise. you watch your cool breath stream from your mouth as your hands warm on your drink. as the clouds are painted colors almost as brilliant as the leaves, you close your eyes. you take in the moment.

autumn has come

PSA: Do not let people make you feel bad about things you love!!!

If you’re anything like me and daydreaming about autumn makes you happy, then do it. If it gives you something to look forward to during the long and boring days of summer, and it fills you with excitement, then do it. If savoring the rainy days of summer allows you to live out your autumn fantasies, then do it. If you love doing something that isn’t hurting anyone else, and it makes you happy, then do it, and do NOT let anyone else make you feel about enjoying it.

fall photography in july? i think yes

10 things to do if you're in the fall mood (even if it isn’t fall)

1. plug in some earbuds and pull up Rainymood, or even some autumn ambiance sounds, you can find lots on youtube.

2. put on a flannel!

3. make yourself a cup of tea. warm drinks do the soul good.

4. watch a halloween movie with the lights off!

5. do a fall craft; it sounds boring but truly puts you in the fall mindset.

6. change your phone/desktop wallpaper to match the fall mood.

7. turn down the lights and light some candles, literally nothing sets a better mood than candles.

8. put on some fuzzy socks and cuddle up with pets/netflix/loved ones.

9. paint your nails an autumn color.

10. make a fall moodboard!

Guess who decided to pop on !!! its been cold and cloudy and rainy here (I love it), despite the flowering trees. i’m just super in the fall mood right now.

see you all soon!!!
