The best of fall

In a way this topic has been talked to death, but you know, fall, sweater weather, autumn, whatever you may chose to call it, causes excitement to bubble within. It means the holidays are drawing near, everyone's spirits are lifted, and the flavors. Oh, the fall flavors and smells. Pumpkin, cinnamon, pecan, mmhmm, all of the above plus more appear on store shelves and coffee shop menu's.

This time of the year just gives me a excuse to try everything pumpkin and cinnamon. Let's light those candles, get those pumpkin's carved and get into the best of fall.


Smells and flavors (again) 

I cannot not rave about the wonders autumn scents and flavors to my senses. My nose and tastebuds go into a frenzy and are so happy to be in this season. I recently decided to ring in the season by baking some pumpkin chocolate chip cake cookies.  Plus, there's healthy versions of all holiday desserts (and they're so tasty).

These are cake like, different texture from a normal cookie, but so yummy.

Clothes
Unfortunately, living in a tropical location doesn't allow for much variety in seasons. Therefore, sweater weather is usually out of the question, say farewell to the daily scarf and pair of boots you'd wear with the sweater. BUT! There are still opportunities to wear these clothes, with the occasional spout of windy, cool air. To take full advantage of this bundle-up weather, take a trip to another state.

Decorations
Oh, the decorations! They are so sparkly, festive, and family oriented. Decorating your house is not just house warming, but it's so much fun! It helps to get in the mood, to spice up the environment you live in a bit. Get those creative juices flowing and throw up some cobwebs for Halloween, or hang some snowflakes from the ceiling during Christmas!
