There's a cool breeze in the air, the leaves are starting to change from luscious greens to warm reds and oranges, all of the stores are full of Halloween decorations, and last but not least...Pumpkin Spice is back! That's right ladies and gentlemen, Fall is back. In case you forgot why it is undoubtably the best season ever, let me remind you.
1. Goodbye sweat and hello perfect 70's!
So long are the days of sweaty pit stains, raccoon eyes from humidity, and frizzy hair. Say hello to beautiful breezes and absolutely perfect temperatures!
2. Time to break out all of your favorite fall fashion!
Whether it's oversized cozy sweaters, riding boots, or a thick infinity scarf, fall fashion is more fun than any other season because you get to layer up, accessorize, and dress your comfiest. Summer is too hot to wear anything cute, Winter is too cold to try to look nice, and Spring is always a toss up between rainy day outfits or being too hot. Fall? Just right.
3. It's totally acceptable to start drinking your favorite warm beverages again!
There's nothing worse than wanting a warm Vanilla Chai latte, a hot coffee, or a pumpkin spice latte and not being able to drink it because it's too hot out. Well not with fall! Get all the Pumpkin Spice coffee your little heart desires!
4. Fall food
Apple cider donuts, pumpkin pie, caramel apples, apple fritters, apple cider, pumpkin spice (everything), etc. No matter what it is, it will be delicious, warm, and so satisfying!
5. Costumes, movies, haunted houses, OH MY!
Halloween is here! Which means it's time to start thinking about what costumes you can DIY. Not to mention, all of our favorite Halloween classics will be on TV once again, meaning cozy nights snuggled up with a cup of warm apple cider and your someone special (cats/dogs applicable).
6. FOOTBALL!
Need I say more?
7. The foliage
I am unconvinced that there is anything more beautiful than fall foliage mid October when all of the leaves have changed and the world suddenly becomes a blanket of golds, oranges, and reds. And don't forget! Hiking is now much more enjoyable.
8. Bonfires
There's nothing like a night around a bonfire with your closest friends. Especially in the fall. Summer bonfires are fun, but bugs always prove to be an annoyance and in the winter it's too cold. But in the fall, it's the perfect temperature for bug free bonfire fun.
9. Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving, whether spent with family or friends, is always a reminder of just how lucky we are to have people to celebrate with and good food to eat. Plus, who doesn't love eating so much food that moving off of the couch becomes laughable?
10. Refresh & Restart
Whether you're going back to school, college, work, etc, fall is a time to refresh and restart a new year. While it may sound corny, the trees are doing just that when they change color and shed their old leaves. So take the time to enjoy all that comes with fall and maybe make some life changes.
So now that I have reminded you why fall is in fact the best season, enjoy the last few days of summer. I'll be here waiting for September 22nd!
