Image
 As the leaves turn golden and the air grows crisp, I’ve been diving into my Autumn Reading List—and right now I’m absolutely loving The Cider Shop Rules by Julie Anne Lindsey. I just started it a few days ago and I’m already hooked! I’ll admit, I didn’t realize when I picked it up that this is actually the third book in a series (normally that drives me a little crazy, since I love to start at the very beginning). But the story is so cozy and captivating that I couldn’t put it down, and I’ve already decided I’ll circle back and grab the first two after I finish this one. The main character, Winnie, completely won me over. Her personality is funny, sweet, and so full of charm that it feels like you’re right there with her in the middle of her adventures. The book itself has all the vibes of a Hallmark mystery movie —lighthearted, engaging, and perfect for this season. There’s just something magical about curling up with a cozy mystery during autumn. Add in a mug of hot cider, a b...

  There’s something magical about autumn. The crisp air, the sound of leaves crunching under your boots, the cozy layers of sweaters, and the scent of pumpkin spice drifting through the kitchen — it’s a season that makes us want to slow down and soak in every detail. One of my favorite ways to capture all that autumn magic is by making an Autumn Mood Board . Not only is it a fun creative project, but it also helps you visualize the cozy, seasonal aesthetic you want to bring into your life — whether it’s decorating your home, planning your wardrobe, or simply setting the mood for fall. ✨ What is a Mood Board? A mood board is like a collage of inspiration. It’s a collection of images, colors, textures, and even words that come together to tell a story or set a feeling. Designers use them all the time, but anyone can make one. And the best part? You can create them digitally or with scissors, glue, and a stack of autumn magazines. 🍁 Why Make an Autumn Mood Board? Capture the...
