Candles

Lighting candles 🕯️ in autumn is a practice that has become popular, and there are several reasons why many people, especially women, do it during this season.

Many candles lit in autumn have scents associated with the season, such as cinnamon, vanilla, pumpkin spice, apple or cedar. These scents evoke feelings of warmth, comfort and memories of holidays, such as Halloween or Thanksgiving. Scents can have a calming effect, making candles a way to relax after a long day.

Autumn is also a time for introspection and self-care. For many people, for example me, lighting candles is part of a relaxation ritual that can accompany reading, bathing or meditation. The act of lighting a candle and enjoying its soft light can help reduce stress and improve emotional well-being.

Leaves

It's something quite obvious, but I feel like less and less attention is being given to the beautiful shift of colors—yellow, orange, reddish, and brown—that happens in the forests and trees around us.

Crochet

It may seem random, but for me there is nothing better than doing hats and scarfs for autumn. Especially in a rainy cold Sunday afternoon. It is really relaxing and conforting.

Coffee

There's nothing better than a cup of hot coffee on long, dark autumn afternoons!

Autumn Gardening

Fall is a perfect time to organize your garden. I usually help my grandmother every year in it. We pick up the fallen leaves and gather the season's fruits and vegetables. It's also the perfect time to plant bulbs like tulips, daffodils or crocuses, which will bloom in the spring. Cutting off dead or overgrown branches prepares the plants for winter. The best part is making jam from what we have collected!

Chestnuts

What makes autumn special for you? For me, making animals from chestnuts using small wooden sticks. This activity reminds me of my childhood, when i was trying finishing my school homework as soon as i could just to go outside and collect some of them. Add to it a cup of hot tea and you have the perfect evening plan.

Tea

Let's not forget that not all of us are coffee lovers. I can't imagine my autumn afternoons without my cup of tea. My favourite flavours are berries and apple with cinnamon. I also won't deny a good cup of black tea with a little sugar!

Jazz

I'm mentioning jazz because i thing that this is the best music gender for autumn. It fits perfectly. In my opinion, jazz makes you feel relaxed and warm. It's slow, with a nice trumpet solos and bass. I used to listen jazz when i'm studying, it helps me concentrating.

Baking

There are evenings when I don't feel like doing much. When the weather is dark and it's raining I like to relax by baking a few things. Autumn and winter are the perfect time for that. I always feel like some nice biscuits with warm milk!

Reading

I love getting confy in an armchair or sofa with a blanket with a good book, and autumn is the best season to do so since it's easy to welcome after summer.
