I’ve noticed since I’ve gotten older that the colder months affect me more than they used to. I love autumn and winter, rainy days, cold walks in the woods, long scarves… I spend my summers wishing for days like these, but when the time comes, the cold weather also affects my moods in ways I’m not used to. … More How I’m coping with SAD (Seasonal affective disorder)
I started October with one of the best autumnal activities, visiting a pumpkin patch. We drove to a farm thirty minutes away from the city, and it was like stepping into another world. While in the town where I live, people seem unaware that it’s autumn and all the shops are instead displaying Christmas stuff, the farm was full of pumpkins in all sizes and colours, and it was decorated for Halloween. … More Visiting a pumpkin patch
It’s officially autumn! After an endless summer full of heat waves and ice tea, autumn graces us with her presence. The air is getting colder, the brown leaves are falling, and my closet has returned to its preferred form, full of cardigans, sweaters and witchy boots.
I feel betrayed by one of the things I love the most, autumn. I always loved that it was dark before 5 pm in the colder months; I found it cosy and exciting. Now, I just feel trapped. I get up when it’s still dark, go to work and come home when it’s getting darker. … More Personal entry: SAD and other thoughts
Every season I look forward to getting my Craftpod box, it’s honestly a big highlight in my monotonous life. I love the surprise of not knowing what projects they’ve planned for the season, growing my collection of DMC threads and trying new things. … More Craftpod’s Autumn 2021 Box
I’m writing this post while it’s raining outside. It’s freezing for late October, the streets in front of my apartment are covered in brown leaves, and I have a Stars Hollow themed candle lighting up next to me. The perfect atmosphere for an autumn lover and the energy boost I need to do this month’s wrap up. … More October 2021 Book Wrap Up
Autumn is my favourite season, and one thing I love besides the cold weather and the turn of leaves, is autumn books. These are books either set in autumn, have spooky and witchy vibes or both. I wanted to include a combination of books I’ve read and loved, with books on my to-read list. I mainly chose newish books, from the last five years or so, with a few exceptions. I’m obviously missing a lot of good books, but these are the ones I want to read this season. … More Spooky books to read in autumn
Isn’t it crazy that it’s already late September? Autumn’s just started, I’m back in England, and I already have my autumn clothes out. But it feels like the weather hasn’t caught up with the season yet. The air in my town is still warm, most trees are still green, and there are no pumpkins in sight. Every time I look out the window and see someone wearing shorts, I get so frustrated. Where is my autumn? … More Autumn bucket list
It’s mid-November while I’m writing this, and no, I haven’t completed my Autumn Bucket List, mostly because there’s a pandemic going on. But I tried! … More Completing my autumn bucket list
One of the reasons I started this blog was to stop being sad and depressed, and to start doing and writing about things that excite me. Enter my Autumn Bucket List. A list of small things that can be done during a pandemic, a strict lockdown and whatever else 2020 has planned for us, but still entertaining enough so that my life feels a bit less boring. … More My Autumn Bucket List
