Fall Essentials + Obsessions

December 18, 2017 This post may contain affiliate links, which means that at no extra cost to you if you buy from one of the product links, I’ll earn a small commission which helps this site run. See full disclosure here.

I am fully embracing these last few weeks of fall, and if you follow me on Instagram you already know that. Fall is all about oversized sweaters, plaid, and boots. See my Fall Fashion Essentials and my Favorite Boots for Fall for more fall fashion favorites. Also check out my recent purchases here so you can shop everything before it runs out! But there are so many other fall essentials that I’m obsessing over. So I’m sharing my fall essentials and obsessions.

Fall Essentials + Obsessions

There’s something so cozy about burning fall scented candles. These four from Bath & Body Works are my absolute favorite fall scents: Sweater Weather, Leaves, Flannel, and Mahogany Apple. I also just got this candle from Flowertown Charm in Flannel & Boots on Etsy and it is so cute and smells fantastic!

Fall Essentials + Obsessions

I love creating playlists for each season as the mood changes. I’ve been using Spotify because I can create my own playlists, find similar songs, and have access to them on my phone or computer for free. My Autumn playlist is full of mellow tunes that I actually find very motivating. I’m starting to transition to my winter playlist, Snowflakes + Fireplaces.

Fall Essentials + Obsessions

A beanie is perfect for fall days of lounging around and offer a chic touch to casual outfits while giving you extra warmth. They are adorable and can help hide when you’re having a bad hair day! I love wearing them with straight hair, curled hair, or even french braids. My beanie is from when I went camping at Eagle Lake earlier this year. But I’m obsessing over these beanies, because they are adorable and are for a great cause.

Fall Essentials + Obsessions

The cooler weather dries out my skin, so I make sure to give it a little extra love. I made this lip scrub to exfoliate my lips and keep them soft and smooth. And it makes them look perfect for wearing dark lipsticks. For my hands and body, I’ve been reaching for my moisturizer from Sinfulicious Bodycare. It’s a heavier lotion, but it really hydrates my skin and smells amazing. I created a custom scent (read about my experience here), I think the scents were Philosophy Falling in Love, Vanilla, and Coconut!

Fall Essentials + Obsessions

Warm, fluffy blankets are a must have for fall. I love getting all cozy and cuddling up under a blanket with my fur babies and a good book. This one is my new favorite; it’s so incredibly soft and cozy. Even my kitties are obsessed with it!

I am obsessed with slippers, and as the temperature drops I love slipping my feet into a warm pair of slippers when I’m lounging at home. I currently have an older pair of these slippers that were my moms. To preserve them as long as possible, I decided to get another pair of slippers. I usually wear mine out from wearing them so much. I’m loving these slippers and these monogrammed ones! Another option is to find some warm, fluffy socks. I just got these socks and they are heavenly. They are so soft and keep my toes so warm!

Fall Essentials + Obsessions

I know I talk about books a lot on here, but a good book is a must for fall. You can read all of my reviews here, but I have a few favorites for fall. The Harry Potter series is always a favorite this time of year, it’s just so magical during the holiday season. I recently read Haunting the Deep by Adriana Mather and it’s probably my favorite book I read this fall (read my review here).

Still stuck on how green and beautiful the Wahkeena Falls Trail was 😍 see my last reel for videos and more information on this beautiful hike

I always struggle with posting pictures because I don’t like something about it - how I look, the quality isn’t as good as other people’s, I can’t think of something good to say, etc. so I end up not sharing anything 🤦🏼‍♀️ Anybody else?
