Fall 2014

Fall is definitely my favourite season. You feel its crisp breeze knowing that summer is over and fall is in the air. Fall has a particular beauty to its meaning. All the colours of its changing leaves fluttering to the ground and we are reminded that nature's cycle is mirrored in our lives. Autumn is a time for letting go and releasing things that have been a burden. From warm pumpkin spice lattes to jumping into the crunchy fallen leaves, there are so many reasons to enjoy fall. This blog will contain everything you'll love this fall.

Clothing
Feel warm and cosy in this year's fall trends. Dark earth tones are what you want to go with in fall clothing. Stick with gold’s, burgundies, darker reds, darker purples, blacks, browns, navy blues, grays, greens, pale pinks and burnt oranges. Additionally, I cannot wait to get my hands on those cosy knitted sweaters, scarf's, beanies, knee high boots and cute mittens. Although fall clothing may seem dull and boring you would be surprised on how cute and chic the outfits turn out.  

2. Comfy Pumpkin Scents
Thanksgiving would be complete without pumpkin pie. When it comes to Thanksgiving we all have special and fond memories, whether of a special guest, the origin of a family tradition, or a particular reason to be thankful. Our fondest memories of Thanksgiving are the ones of childhood. That is why pumpkin scents are so vital in the fall season. Everyone went crazy at Bath and Body Works this year for fall scents. There fall scents are amazing, addicting and smell so good you could eat them. These are a few of my favourite Bath and Body Works fall scents.

• Pumpkin Sugared Doughnut
• Sweater Weather
• Pumpkin Pecan Waffles
• Pumpkin Apple
• Leaves
• Pumpkin Cupcake
• Pumpkin Carving

• Caramel Pumpkin Latte 

3. Affordable Cosmetics For Fall
Fall make-up usually takes its cue from the elements: earthy brown, metallic gold and dark berries. The colder the weather gets the dryer your skin will get. Using moisturiser before doing your foundation routine is very important.  In the winter you still want that SPF for your face in the daytime. UVA is accountable for most of the ageing process in our skin, as it causes damage to the integral proteins that give skin strength, elasticity and plumpness. Regardless of time of day or season, UVA is present and can penetrate cloud cover. It is as easy to get sunburned in winter as in summer. Snow reflects the sun's rays, so sunburn is possible even if you're cold. When you're outdoors in the winter, wear sunscreen on any exposed areas.

The cream is also non-greasy, dermatologically tested, and non-comedogenic which means it won’t clog pores. You should consider using this cream in the fall/winter.

4. Pumpkin Spice Latte's 

There’s nothing better than your first pumpkin spice latte of the season. Tastes like fall in a cup. Although some have discovered that the Starbucks pumpkin spice latte are not very good for you.

The two flavours balance each other out very well, and it is by far the most unexpected-delicious flavoured combination. They can be found at any Wal-Mart and are inexpensive. Have one of these with your pumpkin spice latte and your life will be complete.

6. Jump into a pile of leaves

In the fall time you should get outside, rake the leave and jump into them. It is Obvious you’re tempted to, and you’re never too old to jump in a nice big pile of crisp fallen leaves. Even though everything starts to die in the fall you can still live a little. That is why you should jump in a pile of leaves this fall. 

7. WARM FIRES
After you rake your leaves and are finished jumping into them. You can get rid of them by burning them. Get some wood and burn those leaves. I cannot wait for cuddling in my thick sweaters by a bonfire and smell the leaves burning. There are many reasons why people love bonfires

8. Halloween Decorating
Nothing excites me more than decorating for Old Hallows Eve. Getting ready to spook up your home both indoors and out. The traditional focus of All Hallows' Eve revolves around the theme of using humour and ridicule to confront the power of death. The cheapest place I found decorations was Wal-Mart and Dollarama.

9. Darken Your Hair Colour
Women find it necessary to dye their hair darker when fall hits. The reason being, light hair just doesn't look good with pale, winter skin. Making a drastic change like this can be a difficult decision. You can still get that ombre hair, just try toning up. This is why you should go darker for fall
