Create a Fall Bucket




Hello,

Fall is coming soon, so let's get this bucket list together! If Autumn was all year around I will take it and will not complain. This is my favorite season I love the scenery, the weather, the fashion, anything that is trending around this time. How I came up with the idea of a bucket list for Fall is when I was on Pinterest. I was looking up things to do and do some exploring in different areas where I live. Of course searching for one thing it leads to another, and that's how Fall Bucket List came in mind.

To make this fun and interesting is to make a checklist. Summer is about to leave so let's think ahead and get this Fall Bucket List together.

Getaway

Getaway have several locations. The company provided tiny cabins that are located in the woods where there are a lot of things to explore around, it's just like camping. They supply you with everything you need: kitchen, mini refrigerator, a shower, queen size bed, and many more. Check them out.

This will be a wonderful experience to explore the outdoors. No need for a tent where you have a tiny cabin with a huge window to see the beauty of nature.

Make a Fall wreath...Research D.I.Y Projects

I love D.I.Y Projects so this will be fun to make. I did a winter wreath but I halfway complete it. Michaels, A.C. Moore or any other craft stores is good to get your craft supplies on making a wreath. Go to their websites and check different kinds of craft to do for the season.

Go to the mountains

How beautiful is seeing the mountains up close and looking at the beauty from the top of the mountains. The beauty is when getting up early to see the sunset.

Farmer's Market

It is the harvest season, so all the fresh fruits, and vegetables are display for you to look, feel, and purchase. Go to your local farmer's market and/or sometimes the farmers be will on the side of road by their farm with their products.

Pair Wine With Seasonal Foods

I like to taste different wines and know which wine go with which type of food and dessert, specially when preparing for a gathering and/or dinner. Going on the web it's easy to find the information, but the fun part is to go to a wine festival. The first time I went to a wine festival in 2016 was a Caribbean theme where Linganore Winery & Vineyard hosted the event and others. I like how I was able to enjoy the live music, taste the food and sample different wines and knowing which wine goes with different types of food and dessert. Most wine festival do have where you can tour to their vineyard, learn the history and the making of their wine. Eventbrite and GroupOn are the best websites to check on wine festivals and receive discounts!


Transition Trending Summer To Fall Trending

Getting things together for the fall season should be fun! Everything that was packed away now it's the time to get them out of storage. Things you don't want no more or can't fit, donate them to your local organization/charities, or thrift store.

There are alway of things to do for the fall season. Find something that comforts you and try something new, enjoy this wonderful season and see what it offers!

It's Coffee Time...Afternoon




Good afternoon,


I don't know about you but for me, when I come home from work, I go to my bedroom get settled and light some candles. I love the scent of pumpkin and anything that bring the scent of autumn. 





Now, today I wanted to fix some tea when I got home. I saw some apples, and decided to slices a green apple to put in my tea. I already add a slice of lemon, slice of orange, cinnamon stick in the mix along with sugar honey, and ground pumpkin spice pie or ground nutmeg. I slices an apple, add two slices along with one slice of lemon and orange. I never add apple in my tea. I'm the type of person that like to try new things but depend on what it is. As my coffee maker heating up, I add sugar, honey, ground pumpkin pie spice, slices of apple, lemon, orange, and  one cinnamon stick. Yep, I hook that tea up. I let it set for a minute before drinking it, I wanted all the ingredients bend in. I use Lipton black tea bag. It's not bad with all the flavors. I have my vitamin, this is nice for those cold days. Drink the nice hot tea, with lemon juice or fresh slice lemon, and slice of orange; whatever else you like to add in your tea!!!


The rest of the slice apple, I put in a container and add some trail mix, that right there is my late snack.

That's all folks!!!!





It's Coffee Time…Home Décor Pt. 1


Good morning,


Happy Friday! I decided to go ahead and do a blog on fall home décor. I went to Target just to get ONE item but it end up almost 7 items, I think?! Target always get me, when you enter in you know they have a section that is $5 below (I just call it that) right when you enter in the store. So, what I did, I did my tour around the little section and pick up some things, that was never on the list or in mind.




If the price is right
The prices, you can't go wrong with them. 
  • "Hello Fall" pillow $5
  • Vase Filling Apples and Pumpkins (about 5 or 7 come in the bag) $3 each
  • 2 color pumpkins white and black $1 each
  • 2 pumpkins candle scent "pumpkin caramel" "pumpkin spice pie" $3 each
  • Nice black tote bag $7

Spirit of FALL
I had to STOP, because it was a lot, of course  more of Halloween decoration, but plenty of autumn decoration. I had to think, what and where can I use these décor for? I am guilty for buying things that look good but don't really need them. Once I go home, I realize I already had it, and I am struck on where to place them.
 "Autumn" I love to see people get into the season; pumpkins, apples, pillows, leaves, and many more to show the spirit of FALL! It get me into. I mean it's my favorite season, so I am down for the decoration and what is trending, that I don't mind.

Pumpkin Scent Candles
Pumpkin scent candles. I don't care how many I have, I will keep buying them, light the candles and let the scent fill the air.

Potpourri
I do want to try making my own homemade potpourri. I know it's easy just need the ingredients, which is easy to find. I want to try the dry and liquid potpourri. I do purchase one that is already made, and put in the bathroom for the Fall scent to fill the air. 

See you next time
Alright, that is it for my Autumn Home Décor pt.1. I can't wait to try my potpourri, and buy more autumn décor to try!!!
