There’s a slight chill in the morning air. If you sniff hard enough, you can smell a cran-apple three-wick candle burning somewhere in the distance. Gilmore Girls is “la…laa…la..laa”-ing on your screen. Our time has come, my people. Fall is here.
The Summer I Turned Pretty had us all running through sandy dunes to “august” and falling in love for the past three months. Now it’s time to crank the rest of folklore and fall in love with slugging your feet to properly avoid The Fall I Turned Ugly. Personally, I imitate a sickly Victorian child year round (constant bed rot) but autumn is the perfect time to give into the hygge of it all, turn up the heater, and break out the cozy socks.
Another must? Revamping your entire skincare and body care routine. Slough away that dry skin! Moisturize those dead ends! Generally give your entire routine a big, cozy, deeply moisturizing overhaul. These products will definitely make you look like one of those prepackaged Spirit Halloween Cat Lady costumes. But your cheeks (on your face and the other ones) will definitely be thanking you.
