BellaOnline Forums Beauty and Self Inspiration What are your favorite autumn activities??

I LOVE this time of year! And there are some very special things we do that we can only do this time of year!

Going to the local apple orchard and having apple spice cake and spiced apple cider.

Go to Starbucks for the Pumpkin Spiced Latte!

Carmel Apples!

Walks in the Aspen Grove while all the leaves are yellow!

Collecting red and gold leaves and pinecones.


How about you? What do you love to do this time of year?

Pumpkin pies!

Sipping hot chocolate on the couch with a great book on a cold rainy day...

I alway look forward to the very first time we use the living room fire place after the summer ends. It makes me feel warm & cozy just thinking about it!

The cooler weather puts me in the mood to bake something. Especially anything with apples or pumpkin!

Girl, it puts me in the mood too. I've put in the Glade air freshners with the apple/cinnamon scent and the smell is so inviting in our home. Every time someone visits, they always think I'm baking....uh, huh. Its just the Glade (smile).

We've just finished our outside autumn decor with pumpkins, indian corn, hay and a few mums and it looks like fall. As much as I can make it, considering its 88 degrees here in Texas. I can hardly wait for the cool weather to get in and stay. Thanks for asking the question. Autumn puts me in the mood to bake too, like a sweet potato pie. Hmmmm!

I like to pack lunch, snacks, hot drinks, water and go on long drives with family or friends looking for autumn colors. Stop along the way in a spot with a lovely view and eat then just sit there in the warm sun and chat or maybe sketch the scenes.

Wow, Phyllis, you sound so dramatic. I LOVE IT!! It makes me wanna try this adventure this autumn. Thanks for a refreshing idea for something I've never tried but will now. There are many lovely views, especially at sunset, here in the big state of Texas.

Hi Everyone!!! I'm currently sipping some hot cinnamon apple spice tea with honey and it's SOOOOO delicious. It's only about 65 degrees out, and I've been wrapped in a cozy shawl for the last 45 minutes. Yumm! And, I have my glad apple cinnamon candle lit!

Cara, I love the first time when we use our fireplace after summertime too! I've got some cinnamon pine cones ready for when we finally fire it up. It's only just gotten chilly - but we have high wind warnings, so will probably wait for those to pass before.

And I was just thinking that some yummy cinnamon hot cocoa sounded REALLY good.

Chloe, I especially love baking anything with pumpkins and apples too! I haven't baked anything yet - but I'm sure in the mood!

Kimberly, we just our pumpkins too! They are stacked by the front door and they look so lovely! And I'm a fan of the glade candles too! Aren't they lovely!!!!

Oooh Phyllis, that sounds so fun! My daughter just came running in here about a half hour ago yelling "Mom!!! Mom!!!! LOOK!!!" I looked and she was madly waving someone around. She finally slowed down enough for me to see it was a red leaf She is still playing with it LOL.

Umm... hot cinnamon apple spice tea, it sounds so yummy.

Autumn has not been my favorite season as I live in the raining Pacific Northwest. Even with lots and lots of hot cocoa , many people are still seasonally affected by the weather.

I am SO glad you started this forum as I now very much look forward to what this season can bring. Hopefully it will be a season of warmth, reflection and lots of fond memories... despite of the rain.

Thank you for starting this thread!

You and me both Cara! I tend to start getting a bit anxious this time of year due to the fact that it seems that's when my allergies act up the most. So, focusing on the fun things I love about this season really help!

I got a candle yesterday that smells like English Pound Cake! Mmmmm!!!

Yes, yes, yes... Going to the Apple Orchards and making apple pies at home... Also I am from the south so you gotta stop and get a bbq pork sandwich on the way home! If there is a creek near by go eat it down by the creek. Wow how depressing I am in London none of this is possible :-(
