Fall is finally upon us! I have not used a fan in days, the leaves are changing, and I made soup. My autumn-loving heart is full!

There are some weeks where when I hit Friday I think, “Well, I deserve this weekend.” And this week was one of those.

With the colder weather coming in – a blessing, if you ask me – I am sharing all th

Before we get started I want to celebrate something: The first day of Fall. If you’re unfamiliar with my love of the autumnal season, just know that I look forward to it all year round. To celebrate I even wore a cable knit sweater today! There’s something about a season that centers on feeling cozy, eating feel-good food, and creating a world of orange, yellows, and browns. And as of today, it’s all I’m about. In honor of this special day, I’m sharing the small introductions

A few weeks ago I did my fall beauty essentials, and while I stick with those, I also have the products that I cannot leave behind when the leaves begin to fall.
