When the clock strikes midnight on the Autumnal Equinox, my fall fairy godmother waves her magic wand to activate my seasonal powers. From then on, I'm a cider-sipping, Halloween movie-watching, sweater weather queen. Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo!
Naturally, a few fall buys are in order to celebrate the most wonderful time of the year. New cardigans and moody red nail polish shades are givens, but this year I wanted to take things a step further. I love the cozy and inviting feeling that comes along with the season, so I decided play that up in various aspects of my life: from my home decor selections to my beauty routine picks.
Plus, as astrologers indicate, the cosmos offer up a perfect time for a spiritual refresh during the start of autumn. Any negativity or uncertainty can be left behind as we tackle this next chapter with honesty, grace...and a PSL or two.
"It is a time when we will be reflecting upon, and listening to the matters within our own hearts, and is known as a time of enlightenment," says Patrick Price of Nebula. "This enlightenment is offered to us to allow us to look within and assess how true we are being to ourselves."
I don't know about you, but my heart says, "Spiced Cider Candles."
