Fall Vibes

IT’S OFFICIALLY FALL and I’m here 👏for 👏it 👏!!! Mostly because it’s my favorite season, but also because pregnancy and the heat of a South Carolina summer do not mix.

I’ve been impatiently waiting for the temperature to drop and the official first day of fall to roll in so that my husband can stop judging my fall mugs, pumpkin donut obsession, and the fact that I've already watched Hocus Pocus twice while burning fall scented candles.

But if you’re not feeling those fall vibes yet, perhaps these things will get you feeling like you’re in sweater weather heaven.

ONE | I started burning Modern Forestry’s Fireside Flannel candle last week and it smells like someone baked something cinnamon-y and delicious but also like there was a little bonfire burning nearby. SO. GOOD.

TWO | I saw a billboard saying the pumpkin donuts from Dunkin Donuts were back and changed my immediate plans to “Get pumpkin donut from Dunkin.” I tried Krispy Kreme’s pumpkin donuts and find that their cake one is better than their yeast one, but neither of them beat Dunkin’s!

THREE | Get you some AppalaChai! Chai Tea Concentrate to wash down those donuts. Pro-tip — use your favorite oat milk to make it creamier and more delicious! I can’t lie, Chai is my favorite and I drink it year-round, but now I’ll be heating up my bev of choice for the cooler temps.

FOUR | Sally Hansen’s Good. Kind. Pure. nail polish in Soothing Slate. It’s plant-based, and 16-free so I feel better about painting my nails while pregnant. I’ll deeefinitely be wearing this fall color in my maternity photos.

FIVE | Bring a little autumn inside with Hobby Lobby’s fall florals! I’ve already decorated a few spots in our house with them and would love to add more!

And if none of these things does the trick, then go watch Hocus Pocus and read this article about the upcoming sequel!

What are you doing to get in that fall spirit?!

Makers Guide | Fall 2019

I love autumn so much, I can’t handle it! The crisp air, the beautiful colors, the crunch falling leaves… top it off with Mr. Heid’s birthday, our wedding (and soon to be anniversary season), Halloween, and Thanksgiving — UGH! There’s so much to celebrate!

Whether you’re looking for some decor this season, or a gift for someone special, or a treat for yourself, check out this roundup of fall-inspired handmade or small-batch goods!

ONE | I recently purchased CFL’s Fall My Favorite Things Travel Mug, but I’m also eyeing this Give Thanks camper mug. Use it year-round as a reminder that there’s always something to be thankful for.

TWO | I NEED THIS SWEATER! I LOVE HOCUS POCUS!

THREE | Speaking of Hocus Pocus — yup, I need this candle set.

FOUR | I’ve recently become more and more drawn to yellows lately, so naturally this yellow velvet cushion is calling my name.

FIVE | We ordered this cake topper for our wedding and I’m thinking I may use it to make a wreath like this one after the wedding. It’ll be a nice way to reuse it instead of tossing it!

SIX | As I said before, I love autumn (especially October), and I’d gladly have this print on my wall all season long!

SEVEN | I’ve been wanting a pair of slippers for years, so I finally ordered these ones! Don’t they look cozy? I’ll let you know if I love them once they come in! *Update — they’re SO cozy! Highly recommend!*

EIGHT | These petite wood bar earrings are simple yet beautiful! I like the wood look and tried some studs years ago, but since I'm tan it just looked like my ear loves we're shaped funnily 🙈

However and whatever you’re celebrating this season (even if it’s just the season), I hope you take a breath to pause and savor every moment!

xoxo,

K
