Autumn Leaves

I am so, so, so, so, so, annoyingly happy as I am writing this.

I think my family are grateful I've gone away to write.

Anyway.

Autumn is my absolute favourite season. I love it so, so much. If you are around me or meet me in autumn, you will get the best possible version of me!

I love wrapping up toasty with coats and hats and scarves etc.

I just love everything about it!!! I just feel so content and happy in autumn!!

I also weirdly eat a lot better in autumn. All I want to eat is orange things!

I'm constantly finding recipes for sweet potatoes, squashes, PUMPKIN! Loads!!

I love it, and I use a lot of sage and cinnamon too! ( I make a LOT of cinnamon rolls in autumn/winter, so I don't eat all that good... gluten free and vegan though! )

(They taste amazing, trust me.)

Heaven!

I am now officially in autumn mode because today when I went to the shops, my favourite candles of all time were back in!!!

They only sell them around Halloween and then they disappear for a year! I'm stocking up this time!

PUMPKIN SPICE HALLOWEEN CANDLES!!!!!

They used to only do little ones for 69p but this year I've found 18oz jars!!..... for £2.99!!!!!!!!

I am obsessed. They smell so, so good! Normally I find pumpkin spiced things are too heavily spiced with cinnamon or cloves (vom) but these smell good enough to eat!!!!

Also another reason I love autumn...HALLOWEEN!!! I love Halloween, it's very rare I do anything because it always turns out to be a hype then a let down but I love sitting in watching horror movies with Halloween treats and seeing all the kids dressed up trick or treating!!


And I love the all the berry colours that come out to play. I wear them all year round anyway, but I wear them practically every day in autumn!!

I also love cosy nights in with my favourite tea's! 

Cosy, Cosy.

So yes, this is basically a 'WHY I LOVE AUTUMN' post!!

I LOVE it.

I'm going to end it there because I am too excited!!!
