Nature's Canvas

It is officially October, which means that Halloween festivities are on their way. As we begin to decorate for this spooky holiday, it's pretty neat to see how nature influences the ornamentation that we associate with the season. For instance, last week I posted about my window sill be adorned with fake leaves. Many of my decorations are an influence of nature.

One thing that must be appreciated is the art that nature makes. From the warm colors on the trees, to a simple spider web, these are all a part of nature's many talents. The environment paints this beautiful scene every single season. Fall is one of the most beautiful times of the year, and it's all thanks to our wonderful, natural world.

While the leaves are changing, and the smells of autumn are still strong, don't forget to take a look around at what a spectacular, mysterious, and fascinating environment we have. Mother Nature is dressed in her finest clothes, and a compliment is much needed.

Fall Fragrances: Lemon & Peach

When it comes to a new season, a new fragrance mist is always a nice way to start it out. Plus, it's fun to try out different scents! Both of these fragrance mists were bought from Bath and Body Works.

Lemon Pomegranate Cream:

To start out, this fragrance is like candy. Each spray reminds me of lemon drops and the simplicity of childhood. Such a sugary scent is perfect for someone who loves a sweet aroma. This is a great fragrance for the fall, but also can be used as a late summer fragrance as well. 

-Notes used- Red Pomegranate, Sparkling Berry Bouquet, Juicy Red Currant, Sheer Iris, Dewy Peony Petals, Addictive Raspberry, Sheer Woods, Feathered Musk, Sweet Lemon Cream

Peach & Honey Almond:

Oh my, I am obsessed with this fragrance! The notes used mix beautifully in order to create a nice, warm, homelike scent. Compared to Lemon Pomegranate Cream, this fragrance is a lot more muted on the sweetness level. Fresh baked peach cobbler and biscuits with honey is what comes to mind when wearing this scent.

-Notes used- Juicy Peach, Flowering Quince, Zesty Clementine, Mimosa Flower, Apple Blossom, Blackberry Leaf, Almond, Whipped Meringue, Caramel Vanilla, Tonka Bean, Creamy Golden Honey.

Both of these fragrances are amazing for fall. Even though we have a couple more weeks with above sixty-degree weather, these scents match accordingly. If you love sweet scents that remind you of baked goods and candy, you definitely need to try these out! 

Coming Soon: Fall Fragrances

It's safe to say that I am a very festive person. So every season, I like to switch out my beauty and household fragrances. This includes body sprays, soaps, candles, ect. I want to do a review of my fragrances in the near future. These might be done in multiple posts, but it's something that might be able to help you find a fragrance that you want to try out.

Stay tuned for updates!

First Day of Autumn

"Autumn... the year's last, loveliest smile."

― William Cullen Bryant

My friends, today marks the first day of autumn. This time of year is always lovely! In fact, I have had my window sill decorated for fall since I moved into my dorm room in August. The time goes by surprisingly fast though, so I figured there was no reason to wait! 

I have been complimented on my window sill a few times. Where did I get these items? 

Here's the details:

• Wooden Cat- made by my Uncle Kevin
• Fall Small Leaf Garland- A.C. Moore Arts & Crafts
• LED Battery Operated Lights- can be found at Walmart or Amazon.com
