Falling with YAA: How to make the best out of this FALL season?

So it is this time of the year again, yay! I personally love fall as it is one of my favourite seasons. I decided to write this post as a way to convince you readers that it is in fact as awesome as I make it sound. What’s not to love?! Fashion, Thanksgiving, Halloween, beautiful scenery and so much more! Maybe you are sad about the fact that summer is over and believe me, I totally understand! But with this post, I am going to provide  a few ideas on how to make this fall season a bit more fun and exciting for YOU!

  1. Scentsy warmers! Now you are probably thinking what in the world are those things?! Well let me say, they are a much better alternative to candles and a lot safer. You are less likely to get a headache from them. It is a lamp (come in different style and designs) in which you insert something that’s  called a Scentsy bar (come with various fragrances). Below this paragraph, you will see a photo of the scentsy warmer I ordered online. And trust me when I say this, the money is totally worth it. You can put it wherever your heart tells you to put it! The results include an  amazing smell and a nice, finishing touch to the room you placed it in! If you are intrigued by this as much as I was when I first heard about it, check out the official Scentsy website (you will do yourself a huge favor). Here is the link.

2.  Embrace the Halloween season (who cares if it is too early!) I know that Halloween is a  month and a half away but why should that stop anyone? A couple of days ago, I was shopping in my neighborhood and stumbled upon Value Village. I was extremely pleased to find out  they already put Halloween costumes on sale! The moment I walked into that store, I saw one of the workers wearing a bumble bee costume and before I realized, I was already heading for the costume section. The Halloween spirit definitely took over.  I picked up at least 5 costumes and got myself a change room. I stayed there for at least 30 minutes straight just trying all those costumes on. I had the best time! And the super amazing thing is that this activity (or whatever you’d like to call it) cost me no extra money. I say everyone should do this and it might seem crazy at first, but as soon as you enter that change room you are going to have the time of your life. Especially when that costume looks good, you would feel an instantaneous feeling of happiness taking over your body. By then, you will just want to try on more costumes! Also,  grab your friends with you (the more, the merrier) and don’t be afraid to take some photos!

3. Go outside and enjoy the nature being offered to us during this time of year! You are a strange human being if you never jumped in leaf piles during the fall season . Personally, I did it continuously when I was a kid and still do when life’s pressures ease up a bit. But the truth is, no matter how difficult you think your life might be, you should always find time to make a leaf pile or do whatever it is you want to celebrate your love for fall nature!  You could get a camera and take some photographs instead, it is all up to you. Plus, you should know that taking photos (especially outside) is a  very good way to ease up the school stress.  Even by taking a stroll through the park or your neighborhood, fall season will do its magic. All of our senses will be brought into the present moment. Just by stopping and noticing your surroundings, you will come to realize how blessed we are to be given the opportunity to enjoy this time of year. The last couple of sentences might sound corny and cliché but they couldn’t be more true! Don’t believe me? Try these out yourself and then we can talk!

4. Create your own special FALL playlist! If you are just like me, you love music. You can’t live without it because it just makes your life more bearable. Okay, well that might sound a bit depressing but in some ways, it is actually true! To make the fall arrival more enjoyable, download a brand new playlist on your phone. It is very simple but the after results are amazing.

5. Now for the last tip: please ensure you remain healthy! There are so many sicknesses going around during this time of year so you should always be aware of those! No matter how busy your schedule is, always find time to sleep at least 8 hours a day and eat breakfast, lunch and of course dinner! You probably were already told this,  but let me repeat it to you. Your well being is the major key to getting the best out of this fall season. Do whatever it takes to remain healthy for your own sake and for others’.

This is it! These are the  five ideas YOU can use in order to enjoy this fall season! Now that I am done writing this post, I am going to go enjoy the newly arrived Scentsy warmer in my room and listen to my new fall themed playlist. I genuinely hope you will have fun this season because I know I will!
