This Fall, Follow These 5 Steps to Make Your Room The Cozy Cave You Deserve

It's finally that time of year again, the time all Pumpkin Spiced Latte drinkers and apple pie lovers rejoice. For me, I make it my mission, the reason for the season if you will, to make my room as cozy as possible, even if it means being overwhelmed by every cinnamon scented candle out there. Here are 5 of the best tips I have to offer.

1. String Lights. 

UO DIY: Decorating with Instax

This is quick (and cheap!) addition instantly adds all the warm and magical feels needed for the Fall. Throw some pictures of your BFF's from the pumpkin patch last weekend and you're good to go.

2. Candles.

I just want to reiterate how important they are in creating a cozy environment. They add an instant warmth, comfort, and yummy scent in just about any space. Whether you're like me and have several lit at once or just one, you'll notice the difference right away.

I mean come on, look how comfy and cozy it looks. Pair it with some cute throw pillows and a faux fur rug to top it all off. An added bonus, if you're crafty or looking to get into a new hobby, they sell kits on Etsy or Amazon to make your own blanket.

4. Chill music playlists.

Basically 99% of my playlists are either of my top three artists: Bon Iver, Vance Joy, and Hozier. They're also my go-to's for whenever I'm trying to make my space calm and serene. Turn up the fireplace, grab your honey, and put on some nice Indie music for a cozy night in.

5. Add a Himalayan salt rock lamp.

Not only does this magical little salt rock give a soft glow to your room, it also is supposed to be packed with health benefits like air filtering. Despite if the health claims are true or not, at least it'll be a nice addition either way.

I hope your newly decorated room gives you all the cozy feels this Fall.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
