1. Pumpkin Spice Everything

If you’re a fan of pumpkin, then fall is the best season for you!  Once September hits, everything in the stores becomes pumpkin spice.  From muffins to cereal to pancakes, you have the choice to choose the pumpkin version of all your favorite foods.

2. Sweater weather

By the time fall comes around, we’re all ready to trade in our shorts for leggings and our tank tops for sweaters.  No more sweltering hot days, it’s time for cool sweater weather!

3. Cuddle weather

Everyone knows sweater weather means cuddle weather.  Grab your hubby & a blanket and cuddle up with some hot chocolate!  And if you don’t have a significant other, there’s no time like the present to ask someone out on a date ;).

4. Football

Football is the icing on the cake for fall.  Grab your jersey and head to the nearest restaurant or bar playing the games and cheer on your favorite team with a brew! 

5. Holidays

Fall means Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas are just around the bend.  These are my favorite parts of the year, filled with good eats, good people, and good vibes. 

6. Family time

Holidays mean family time!  Most of us are so busy during the year with school and work that it’s hard to spend quality time with those we love.  With days off during the holidays, we have the time to spend at home with our family. 

7. Fall colors

Who doesn’t love to post fall colors on their Instagram?  The leaves are changing color and falling to the ground, showering the streets with beautiful reds, oranges, and yellows.  Get your cameras ready! 

8. Rain

As it nears Christmas and the weather gets cooler, it’s bound to rain even here in California (we hope!).  These days are perfect to curl up in a blanket and read a book or watch a movie.  Not to mention, it’s so much easier to study!

9. Shopping deals

The best season to shop is fall!  With Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Christmas sales, there are deals everywhere.  Now is the time to buy those shoes you have been eyeing!

10. Christmas music

As soon as November first hits, it’s time to start singing those Christmas carols!  There’s nothing like Christmas tunes to get you into the holiday spirit.

She loves the ocean, photography/ film, music, and good eats (especially burritos).
