It’s hard to believe that we’re all saying goodbye to our last long weekend of the season and the community pool is legit about to close its doors. It feels like just yesterday I decided that I’m a self-proclaimed Tomato Girlie (probably because I did). But, alas, the end of Summer is here and it can feel like, very depressing. But, before you fall into a complete sad girl spiral, at least we have one thing to look forward to: seeing the Fall girlies absolutely thrive. For more reasons than just hanging on to your sanity, you should consider joining in on the festivities.
I won’t sugar coat this, I am basic AF and honestly not afraid to say that I’m an absolute sucker for carving a pumpkin. And while I feel like nothing brings us gals together quite like True Crime documentaries and Pumpkin Spice Lattes, we’re a hell of a lot more than just that. So, for those have been part of the club forever, welcome back. And for anyone just joining us: consider this your initiation into Autumn. Welcome!
