The season has officially changed again, and it’s time for us to transition to all things Fall. It can seem more difficult to transition to colder seasons from warmer seasons than it does for the reverse. While many of us love fall (you know my thoughts on the subject ;)), it can be challenging to fully feel like we’re ready for the Fall season after a long, hot summer. Since we’re hunkering down for the chill rather than opening up for the warm, the process doesn’t come as easily to some of us. Unlike the organized and energized feelings we get when we participate in Spring Cleaning, many of us experience negative emotions when moving into the Fall and Winter seasons. Perhaps it in some correlates to how many of us struggle with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) in the colder months, but I know many of us struggle with what I call “Seasonal Transition Fatigue.” I characterize Seasonal Transition Fatigue as something that makes people feel like they can’t fully enjo...

Raise your hand if you love Autumn! (Hehehe…I see you over there actually raising your hand. In real life, we’d be friends.) SAME! Fall is my favorite season of the year for so many reasons: the clothes, the food, the drinks, the activities, the weather, the aromas… I think I would do very well in a magical town somewhere in the north east corner of the country with eternally fall weather and the most magically colorful leaves, where I get to live in a cabin in the mountains that is somehow still a short walk from town, where there’s a perfect little coffee shop that always serves pumpkin spice lattes and apple crumb muffins…I could go on. I’d decorate my cabin with fall wreaths and garlands with red, orange, and yellow colored leaves. I’d have a pot of apple cider on the stove every afternoon. I’d have a fire in the fireplace and go apple picking once a week. Sadly, my magic, eternally-fall town doesn’t exist outside of a TV show set, but I’d settle for an Autum...

View more Autumn has almost arrived, and I for one am more excited for it than I was for any other season this year. While I like the warm summer weather and even the snowy weather of winter for a while, I could probably live in some magical place where it is eternally Fall and never complain. When the weather starts to cool off, it’s my signal to dig out all my fall clothes: Jeans, sweaters, jackets, sweatshirts, tights, scarves, hats, wool socks, boots…It’s all so cozy! And when I’m getting out all my cozy fall attire, I love to have my wax warmer going, circulating fall aromas throughout my home and getting me in the mood for the season! My favorite wax fragrance tarts are the kind that don’t make a giant mess: No-Mess Fragrance Tarts . They give you all your favorite aromas without the messy cleanup, and since they are easy to clean, you can mix-and-match tarts in your wax warmer to make unique fall fragrance combinations!
