Cozy knits and blanket scarfs get to be loved and bundled in once again.  Fall is here, and it’s time to indulge in our favourite fall activities. So grab a chai tea and snuggle down in your softest knits because I’ve already come up with a list for you!

1. Apple picking!

Grab a buddy and waltz over to the nearest apple orchard! With rows and rows of apples to pick and choose from, you won’t be leaving empty handed! (It’s also a perfect spot for an impromptu photo-shoot! #appleofmyeye)

2. Hayrides & a pumpkin patch!

If you’re going to do anything this fall, visiting a pumpkin patch and going on a hayride is a must! It’s the perfect opportunity to get your pumpkins ready just in time for Halloween! (Just make sure not to carve them too soon so they don’t get mushy!)

3. Hike to see the changing leaves!

Need a break from midterms? Why not go for a walk outside! The fall colours are so beautiful in the trees this time of year, you’ll be sorry if you don’t!

4. Hot Chocolate!

As the weather gets cooler, warm beverages like hot chocolate sound just about right! Here’s a yummy recipe:

Hot Chocolate

2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa

2 tablespoons sugar

¼ cup water

1½-cup milk

¼ teaspoon vanilla

Add the cocoa, sugar and water into a bowl and microwave for 45 seconds (mix well)

Add in milk and vanilla

Heat back in the microwave for around 1 minute (until it’s hot)

Let it cool and ENJOY!
