Beanie baby! Dark and gloomy and cozy fall moodboard for ya 💜
It’s not always an easy transition, going from warm and long sunny days to cold, short, gloomy days. I feel like my autumns never look very pinterest-y either because they’re just kinda damp and ugly and sad. But I still think it’s a lovely season and there’s ways to find the beauty in it 💜
1. Go on walks and enjoy the bug-less environment. No cicadas screaming in your ear!! take advantage!
2. Fall baking is just superior. Your house gets all warmed up from the oven being on 😌😌 also fall desserts just fuck different. My fiancés brother and his wife made us a bourbon caramel apple pie last Saturday and it was such a lovely treat
3. Cozy warm drinks!! Explore different hot drinks you like. Go to different coffee shops or pick out different kinds of tea at the store. I love apple cider, that’s my favorite warm drink to have in the cold months 🩷
4. Wear your favorite sweaters and sweatshirts!! Build up a good collection too!!! One of my favorite things to do is to thrift different sweaters and cardigans to wear when it’s cold. Plus, thrifting is always fun. I like looking for neat decor or picture frames and other stuff like that 💗
5. FALL. MOVIES. There’s the obvious horror movie selection you can choose from, but if that’s not your thing, When Harry Met Sally is my favorite fall movie and one of my favorites ever anyway. Also, once we’re past Halloween and into thanksgiving season, Planes Trains and Automobiles is a goodie
6. Joel Miller Flannel Season. Enough said. While you’re at the thrift store, pick out some old man flannels and imagine they’re Joel’s and you’re wearing them. Bonus points if you spray them with men’s cologne.
7. Board games, my favorite one is called Azul. But I become a worse person when I play it so be careful
8. Cozy up with a good book 📕 I think this fall I’m gonna try to read Ice Planet Barbarians because @noxturnalpascal says it’s incredible.
9. Self care night! Splurge at the store and buy your favorite lotions and potions and bath bombs and pamper yourself on those chilly nights

I see the comfort and love in all these tips. They're wonderful. And bourbon caramel apple pie sounds incredible. I cooked my first ever hokkaido pumpkin soup yesterday! If you weren't so far away I would share the rest with you with some freshly cut selfplanted parsley and some sausages.
