Hi guys, and welcome back to another episode of the Hawkgirl Energy Podcast.
0:17
I'm your host, Kaylee, and this is your weekly reminder that it's a
0:20
new day, a new week, a new mindset, and another day for
0:23
you to become the Hawkgirl Energy you want to attract. Hello you guys,
0:27
Happy Wednesday or Tuesday. I don't know when I'll have this episode up.
0:33
I had a long weekend this weekend, So if you're from the States,
0:36
or from Canada, or if you're from other parts of the world, I'm
0:38
not sure if you guys had a long weekend or not, but it was
0:43
a long weekend this weekend, and I took the time to just enjoy the
0:47
last weekend of the summer because honestly, let's be rug guys, summer is
0:53
coming to an end and it's so sad, and I just really wanted to
0:58
enjoy the last weekend with my family and with Zach and just yeah, enjoy
1:03
some quality downtime. So I apologize if this episode is not up on the
1:07
Tuesday, but if it is, go me. But if it isn't,
1:11
it will probably be uploaded on a Wednesday. But hello you guys. I
1:15
hope you guys had an amazing weekend. As you guys can tell in this
1:19
episode title, I'm clearly excited for Fall, because that's all that's been on
1:23
my mind is just Fall. Starbucks came out with their Fall drinks, and
1:29
obviously I already got one. I got one the day it came out,
1:30
and having that pumpkin cream cold brew just made me realize, like, yep,
1:36
it's fault. I'm officially here for it. I am a Fall girl,
1:38
like I am obsessed with fall. Fall is definitely a close first to
1:44
summer. They are my favorite seasons by far, and I am just so
1:49
excited to just start shopping for fall outfits. I've already started, but like
1:53
just getting more actually wearing chunky sweaters. I mean, it's still a bit
1:57
too warm to do that, but in my mindset, I'm already set for
2:01
Fall, like I'm just ready for it. But don't get me wrong,
2:05
I am enjoying the last few weeks of the warm weather. But it has
2:08
been getting kind of cold at night, which has been kind of nice,
2:12
so you can wear jeans and a sweatshirt and feel comfortable, which is like
2:15
the perfect weather. So yeah, I really wanted to make this episode about
2:22
getting into the fall spirit, kind of like a fall bucket list, things
2:27
that I've kind of already started to do with, things that you guys can
2:30
prepare for the next few weeks as to what to do for the fall season
2:35
all that. So yeah, I'm just excited to get into this week's episode.
2:39
Before we get into this episode, I wanted to chat about goals for
2:45
September because today is September fourth, fifth, something like that, so we
2:52
are officially in September. It's a new month, which means new goals,
2:55
new opportunities. You guys know, whenever we enter a new month, we
3:00
always want to have goals for ourselves, to be able to achieve them and
3:02
to keep ourselves motivated. So for me, I wrote down three goals that
3:08
I wanted to achieve this month. And before we even get into my goals,
3:14
I just want to say that for myself, and I don't know if
3:15
anybody else out there is feeling a very busy month for September, but I
3:23
have a busy September and so some of the goals that I want for myself,
3:25
I am pushing till October because it's not achievable for me because I know
3:30
I am going into a very busy month. My engagement party is this month,
3:36
which is going to take honestly a lot of my time these next few
3:39
days because we are exactly like thirteen days away from my engagement party, which
3:46
is so crazy to say so, or twelve days around there, which is
3:50
less than two weeks, and there's still so much that I have to do,
3:53
so my mindset has been completely focused on getting those last minute things done
3:58
before the big weekend. And my engagement party is a whole weekend, So
4:01
myself, Zach, our bridesmaids, our groomsmen, our parents, and then
4:05
some of our additional friends are staying at this guest house for the entire weekend.
4:11
So we're doing like a fun little friend's dinner on the Friday, and
4:14
then the Saturday we have the engagement party, but we'll be doing like a
4:16
brunch with our friends all that, so it's just going to be a whole
4:19
weekend thing. And I'm proposing to my bridesmaids that weekend, so I'm going
4:25
to be filming all of that. So there's just gonna be so much content
4:28
coming out, which I'm so excited. So definitely make sure you're following my
4:30
social so if you guys want to see all that happening, but it's just
4:34
a crazy month. And then literally two days after our engagement party, Zach
4:39
and I fly out to our wedding destination. So just shows you, like
4:45
how much like craziness is happening. And honestly, Zach and I will be
4:49
gone for I think it's almost two weeks. I think we're there for eleven
4:53
days, and by the time we get back it's October first, basically,
4:57
so that is my September. We had to make these goals very realistic,
5:02
and there's a lot of things that I wanted you for myself, but I
5:05
know, like right now is just like this month specifically is just not the
5:10
month for it. So we are going to push back some of the personal
5:13
goals that I want to achieve in myself four October. But I wrote three
5:16
goals out for myself and these are the goals that I think are achievable for
5:20
myself four September. First one being reading. I did make this a goal
5:27
for August. Let me tell you, guys, I have already read halfway
5:31
through my book. Can we talk about how big of an achievement that is?
5:35
For myself, just to give you guys a bit of a background,
5:39
Like I don't really read. I haven't read a book since high school,
5:45
Like I'm talking like when you had to read the book for English class,
5:47
Like that was the last time I read a book. And I think the
5:49
reason why I never picked up a book or got into reading or anything like
5:54
that, it's because I never enjoyed it from high school. Because obviously,
5:57
when you're in high school, day picked the books for you and if you
6:00
don't get the choice. So I think I just always had this thing in
6:02
my head where I'm like, no, I don't like reading. And it's
6:04
probably because of the kind of books that I read in high school, where
6:09
if I actually had the choice of picking out a story that actually interests me
6:13
or is like relatable to my kind of life, it might be actually something
6:16
I'm interested in. So I've been reading Meet Me by the Lake or Meet
6:21
Me at the Lake, Sorry, and it is so so good. You
6:26
guys, some of you guys have already recommended other books to me. They
6:28
said, if I liked this one, I would like other recommendations that you
6:31
guys had. And I've already finished, well, I haven't finished it,
6:34
but I've already read halfway through the books, so I'm pretty impressed myself.
6:39
Not gonna lie, like I'm giving myself a big pat on the back because,
6:42
as I said, like, I just have never been a big reader.
6:45
So I really want to take that goal into September as well, because
6:47
I think there's going to be a lot of opportunities for me to read on
6:50
the plane, for an example, while I'm traveling, and just like other
6:55
times where I'll probably have some downtime at night while again I'm at my destination
6:59
to take about twenty to thirty minutes to myself to just like read the books.
7:02
So my goal is to finish that book before the end of the month.
7:06
I think it's totally cheatable. I think I'm gonna do it, But
7:10
yeah, I think just like a book a month would be like something I'd
7:13
really really want to strive to do because I think reading is not only,
7:17
you know, such an amazing thing to you know, get off social media
7:20
and get off your phone. It's it's an opportunity for you to just like
7:24
disconnect, but I also think it's a great opportunity to just like really get
7:28
better at your communication sALS and just like educate yourself and all that, and
7:31
that's something that I would love to do. I'd love to get more into
7:34
educational books. There's a lot of books that I actually have written in my
7:38
notes that I've been wanting to get that are specifically more educational verse like a
7:43
love story or a thriller or anything like that. So anyways, reading is
7:47
definitely something I want to continue. Another one is going on longer walks.
7:53
You guys know how much I love going on walks, but for some reason,
7:57
I felt like August, you know, it was definitely a month,
8:00
but it was a busy month because I made it that way in terms of
8:03
like getting everything I wanted to do before summer ends, just like little things
8:07
like you know, going for coffee with my girlfriend, doing spinning classes,
8:11
going to cottage weekends, all that, you know what I mean, Like
8:13
just keeping myself busy. And so one thing that I want to make a
8:18
goal for September is making my walks longer. And another reason for that is
8:22
because I know we're getting into the colder season and I'm a chicken shit when
8:30
it comes to cold weather. I'm not gonna lie. I'm just gonna be
8:31
straight up honest, I don't find walks enjoyable when I'm freezing my ass off,
8:35
Like it's just like it's just not for me. And don't get me
8:39
wrong, like I love pushing myself to go outside and get the fresh air
8:43
and all that, but just going on a thirty minute walk in like the
8:46
minus thirty weather just doesn't sound appealing to me at all. Like it it's
8:50
just not for me. When I go for a walk, it's therapeutic to
8:52
me, it's something I enjoy. Definitely want to take advantage of taking longer
8:58
walks in September because you know, we're getting to the culture season. So
9:01
I just want to make the most out of my walks and just enjoy the
9:05
weather as you know best I can until we get into the colder months.
9:11
But there is a lot of you guys actually messaging me saying like, you
9:13
know, what do you do in the winter for walking because you talk about
9:16
how much you walk blah blah blah, and guys, I've told myself I
9:20
am doing this. I haven't done it yet, but I'm going to order
9:22
one of those walking mats from Amazon. I don't know if you guys have
9:26
seen it. It's basically a treadmill without like the handlebars or anything. It's
9:31
literally just like a flat treadmill, and it's only meant for walking. And
9:35
I've been really wanting to put it in my office and just like walk,
9:41
like just like whether I can go on my laptop. I might get that
9:43
whole little like office set up where I can put my laptop on it,
9:46
maybe get some work done while walking, because I think for me, it's
9:50
just getting my steps in that makes me feel so good. As I said,
9:54
like in the winter season, I don't enjoy freezing my butt off while
9:58
walking Freddie Like, I'm going to have to do it obviously because i have
10:00
to walk my dog. But if I want to get my steps in and
10:01
actually enjoy what I'm doing, I'd rather just buy one of those walking treadmills
10:07
from Amazon and do that rather than like force myself to be outside for thirty
10:09
minutes in the cold weather. So that is something I will be doing,
10:13
probably not until like November December. But if you're someone that's been wanting to
10:18
find ways to you know, maybe make an investment and get something like that.
10:22
They're not that expensive, I don't think, but for a treadmill,
10:24
it's really not that bad. And for something that you're going to get a
10:28
lot of use out of in the winter season, I think it's totally beneficial.
10:31
And obviously it's related to your health, which is so important as well.
10:35
So anyways, that's something I probably won't get until it actually gets super
10:39
super cold out, but that's how I'm going to be like keeping up my
10:43
walking goal throughout, you know, the colder season. Okay, My final
10:46
goal for September is more work related, and as you guys know, content
10:52
creation is my full time job. I really want to take advantage of this
10:58
busy month and just start creating videos more in the moments of me actually talking
11:05
in the camera verse, like creating a whole vibe out of it, if
11:11
that makes sense. Like, obviously I enjoy filming the type of content that
11:13
I do, Like obviously I love it. It's my full time thing.
11:16
But I just like kind of want to push myself out of my comfort zone
11:18
and take advantage of these busy moments throughout this month because obviously with the engagement
11:24
party happening and with me going to find my wedding venue, those are great
11:28
opportunities for me to pick up the camera and film and all that. So
11:33
I really want to do more talking to the camera, videos, more you
11:37
know, voiceovers all that, because, as I said, there's just so
11:41
much going on that I just want to also just remember these moments and have
11:46
these videos for my memories. I want to be able to look back and
11:50
just like see our whole engagement party and see our whole you know trip to
11:56
having such a hard time not saying the destination, filming the whole experience of
12:01
us on our trip and showing you guys the venues and all that. Like
12:03
I just want to take in every single moment and film every single aspect,
12:07
Like I really want to make the vibe as like you're there with me,
12:11
Like I really want to make it feel like you guys have been invited to
12:15
my engagement party and you know, you guys are on my trip with me
12:18
to go to see wedding betties. Like I just want you guys to feel
12:20
a part of everything. And that's going to be my goal this month is
12:22
just to really be in the moment of just filming whatever comes to my mind,
12:28
you know what I mean. Like obviously I already do that, but
12:31
I just mean, like I feel like I need to be providing more content.
12:33
I already have a list of video ideas that I want to just do
12:37
throughout the whole entire engagement party weekend. So there's definitely a lot of content
12:41
that I want to do and I just need to make sure that I make
12:43
that a priority, but also like focusing on things that have to get done
12:48
for the party and all that. But anyways, that's just like a work
12:50
goal for myself that I really want to achieve. And yeah, if you
12:54
guys want to see me that follow me on my socials. Okay, so
12:56
we can officially get into this episode. I am so excited to talk about
13:01
Fall again. I'm already in the Fall mood, Like, I'm definitely ready
13:05
to get a few more things this week just to make me feel more inspired
13:09
and excited for the new season. I definitely feel like if you're the kind
13:13
of person where you've been having a hard time to get into the fall spirit
13:16
or anything like that, a lot of these things are definitely going to get
13:20
you more excited about the fall season and just like make you look forward to
13:24
things to do. Definitely make sure to write some of these things down if
13:28
you're interested in doing it. But let's get into some of these things.
13:33
Okay, So the first one on our list is going on a hike with
13:37
your friends. There's something about going on a hike in the fall versus summertime.
13:43
It just hits different. Like I find going on a fall hike is
13:46
way more enjoyable than going in the summer. I find when you're in the
13:50
summertime, like going on hikes, it's just so hot that you're sweating your
13:52
ass off, you're uncomfortable, whereas in the fall season the weather is typically
13:56
perfect. You can get away with wearing a sweater, maybe biker shorts.
14:01
The sightseeing is also so much better, Like the leaves have changed, so
14:03
seeing the color of the leaves in the fall season is just so so stunning,
14:07
and it just makes it even more enjoyable. And it's just a good
14:13
opportunity to also go on a long walk with your friends, catch up with
14:16
them, getting a workout in. It's a fun way to get some movement
14:18
in. And yeah, that's definitely something that I really want to take advantage
14:22
of, is going on more hikes and just yeah, enjoying the outdoors and
14:26
just as I said, getting a workout in at the same time, okay.
14:31
Next on the list is Starbucks All Drinks. If you have not tried
14:35
any of the Starbucks Fall drinks, what are you doing? You need to
14:39
get on top of that, They've launched so many new drinks on their menu
14:43
that are so good, you guys. I personally love the pumpkin Cream cold
14:48
threw. That is by far my favorite. I already got that it's my
14:52
favorite drink by far. But they also have added so many new good ones
14:54
that I've been dying to try, so I really want to just like order
14:58
them all and just do like a taste test of everything. That could also
15:01
be like a really fun video idea or something fun to do with your friend.
15:03
But definitely need to try a Starbucks Fall drink that will immediately put you
15:09
in a fall mood. They have a new one that just came out called
15:13
the Chai Pumpkin Cream Cold Row. I believe so. I think it's just
15:18
like their typical Chai latte and then they put the pumpkin cream cold row on
15:22
top, so that one sounds really really good. Another one is I think
15:26
they had it last year instead of the brown Shaken Espresso. I think it's
15:30
an apple like shaken espresso, so I think it's kind of like suppos tastic
15:35
apple pie. So I haven't tried that one yet, but my sister has
15:37
and she said really good things about it. But yeah, just trying all
15:41
the fall drinks at Starbucks immediately puts you in a fall mood, Like I'm
15:43
telling you right now. So if you're not in a fall mood and you
15:46
need to get in a fall mood, go to Starbucks right now, order
15:48
a pumpkin cream cold row and it will change your mindset completely. But that's
15:52
definitely on the bucket list to do for things as fall is just ordering your
15:56
favorite fall drink. Next is go fall home decore shopping and just give your
16:03
home a bit of a cozy makeover. I've already started that, like very
16:07
small. I haven't done too much. I noticed in that last year I
16:11
did no faul de core shopping. I think it's because I was in New
16:15
York City this time last year doing a New York Fashion Week, and we're
16:18
not doing that this year. So I just think I've been more inspired to
16:22
like actually take the time to like decorate my home and add some new fall
16:27
pieces. So I have no faul decre at all. Like in my basement.
16:30
Nothing. So I'm like, okay, like, I need to buy
16:33
some stuff. So I went to Home Sense and I bought a few things.
16:36
Home Sense is like a home goods in the States, and I love
16:40
them so much. I got cute little pumpkin pillows. I got pumpkin candles.
16:44
Guys, can we talk about homepkin candles for a second. They are
16:47
by far the best scented candles you will ever buy in your life? Like,
16:52
oh my goodness, any kind of fall candle doesn't even have to be
16:55
pumpkin related, just like Fall Sense are the best Sense like buy far like
17:00
you guys, cannot you cannot disagree with that, like it is by far
17:03
the best scented candles you will ever buy like in your life. So I
17:08
stalked up. I bought three different candles. I haven't finished yet. That's
17:11
why I haven't decorated my house yet. I still want to get a few
17:15
more things, like tea towels. I want to get stuff from my coffee
17:18
table all that. So I have some things, but I haven't fully decorated
17:22
yet. I don't know when i'll decorate. Maybe I'll decorate this weekend.
17:26
Because as you guys know, my month is crazy this month, so I
17:30
don't think I'll have time to do it after the engagement party, so we're
17:34
gonna have to do it probably this weekend, but I want to pick up
17:37
a few more things before I do that. But that's always so fun,
17:41
just like finding ways to decorate your room or finding ways to decorate your home,
17:45
like it just gets you so much into a fall mood. So yeah,
17:49
I'm actually excited now. I'm really excited to do that this weekend.
17:52
So I definitely need to hit up home Sense. Another good place is Indigo
17:56
if you have one nearby. They have the best home to court stuff,
18:00
guys, like the best. I'm not even getting the cutest things ever.
18:04
Another great place to find like home to core inspo is Pinterest. You guys
18:08
know, I live for Pinterest. It is by far my favorite app.
18:11
I go on it every single morning, and I find it's just like the
18:15
perfect opportunity to like get inspired about anything really, and you know, maybe
18:21
for fall decre items, you can search you know, fall home to core
18:23
and just get some inspo and things that you could buy for your home to
18:26
just make it feel a bit more cozy. So yeah, even like a
18:30
fall blanket would be really cute too. Just anything fall related, just fall
18:36
colors, pumpkins, all that. It's definitely so worth it. I also
18:41
love going to thrift shops to find like really cute, like antique pieces for
18:45
the home or some fall pieces in general. I went to the thrift store
18:49
I think two weeks ago, and I found the best leather jacket for twenty
18:56
dollars. Like it was a real leather jacket. It was probably two hundred
19:00
dollars. It was a men's jacket. And that's the way to do it.
19:03
Ladies, if you're looking for the perfect oversize leather jacket, do not
19:07
waste your money at any of these expensive stores. Like it's just it's not
19:11
worth your money, in my opinion. Go to a thrift store. Go
19:14
in the men's department, find a size large or extra large, too over
19:18
oversize you want it to look and I'm telling you right now you will find
19:21
the perfect leather jacket for twenty dollars, perfect for the fall season. So
19:26
I snagged that. When I saw it, I was so happy. But
19:30
yeah, I love going to thrift stores like once in a while just to
19:33
see if there's anything like that or anything that I can include into my home,
19:37
like antique pieces, and yeah, there could be some really cute fall
19:41
stuff out as well within like the fall colors or anything like that, so
19:45
definitely make sure to hit a thrift store as well. Okay, this is
19:48
something I have scheduled for tomorrow, but making a fall floral bouquet, So
19:55
going to your closest flower shop, just picking out whatever flowers look like it's
20:00
within the fall like inspired decor kind of look, you know, maybe within
20:04
the fall color scheme or anything like that, and just make your own floral
20:07
arrangement. I love making my own arrangement. I find it so satisfying and
20:12
so fun. So yeah, tomorrow I'm gonna go to the flower shop and
20:17
I'm gonna pick out all these fun colors for my home. And yeah,
20:22
I might probably make it a bit more neutral because you guys know me,
20:23
I don't have much color in my home, and that's just my own personal
20:27
preference. I like the neutral tones, but I definitely love for like the
20:32
fall season, like doing a bit of brown, doing a bit of like
20:34
off white, maybe some like light orange would be really pretty too, So
20:40
just like kind of going within the color scheme. I think could be really
20:41
pretty for a floral arrangement, but you could also just go to your closest
20:47
grocery store and pick out a bouquet. And it's like that, like flowers
20:49
will make you happy. There's like nothing that will put a smile on your
20:53
face. Then buying yourself flowers. You don't need a man to buy you
20:56
flowers, ladies, just do it yourself. And yeah, it feels so
21:00
good to have it in your home. I find it's just like a very
21:03
homey thing to get and it just makes everything feel so cozy. Okay.
21:08
Another thing you're going to do, because I did this the other night and
21:12
this got me even more excited for Fall, was creating a list of fall
21:17
recipes you want to make. I've been on baking TikTok. I swear to
21:21
god, I've been seeing so many yummy recipes and it's just making me want
21:26
to bake. I am not the biggest baker in the world. I'm not
21:27
gonna lie, but I do enjoy baking recipes that I see on TikTok that
21:32
look so good and it's just fun to do, you know what I mean,
21:36
Like it's fun to do with your partner or do with your friend or
21:38
just do yourself. But some of the recipes that I've been seeing is pumpkin
21:44
bread, which is always so so yummy, like pumpkin spice bread. It's
21:48
so so good. I definitely want to make apple pancakes. How amazing does
21:53
that sound. I saw someone their name's Lucy. I follow her on Instagram,
21:59
and her instagram is so good for recipes. I love seeing her make
22:03
all these fun things. And she made these sliced apples and she dipped it
22:08
in pancake batter and then made it as normal pancakes, and guys, it
22:12
looked so so good. It was almost like an apple spiced pancake. So
22:17
that's definitely something I want to try for like a Sunday breakfast with Zach.
22:21
I think that'd be so good with like bacon and maybe a bit of fruit
22:25
on top. Obviously. You guys know, Wow, my voice is getting
22:29
way louder because I'm very excited about this soup season. You guys know how
22:33
much I love my soups. I'm definitely bringing back like soup cooking videos because
22:37
that's literally my favorite thing to make and just film and all that. I
22:42
cannot wait for. Creamy tomato soup like butternut squash soup with grilled cheese,
22:49
Like, oh my god, I think I need to make a soup this
22:52
weekend. This is by far my favorite season when it comes to cooking,
22:56
Like, just yeah, just the is he is dinner recipes? Oh my
23:02
god, Like I actually just can't believe that technically we are a month and
23:04
a bit away from Thanksgiving for us here in Canada, which is so crazy
23:08
to me that like Thanksgiving is that close, But thinking of like a Thanksgiving
23:12
dinner, it just brings cozy vibes immediately as well. Yeah, soup season,
23:17
I am very excited about that. And yeah, so I've already started
23:21
to write down a few recipes that I've been finding. I always send them
23:22
to Zach two to see if he approves. Even if he doesn't approve,
23:26
I would still make it. But yeah, no, I'm definitely excited for
23:30
soup season. And also apple pie. I love apple pie, pumpkin pie,
23:34
like all that like pie. This is pie season as well. So
23:38
yeah, just it's definitely excited to chin new recipes and yeah, just like
23:44
make a list of your favorite things. Go on pinchers, go on,
23:45
TikTok go on Instagram, find recipes that look really really appealing to you,
23:49
save them, and then like schedule a time, you know, either an
23:53
evening or sometime on your weekend to bake some of these goods, because yeah,
23:59
we'll definitely put you in a fall mood. Okay. Another thing to
24:02
do is go to a fair. So it's definitely fair season here in Ottawa,
24:07
like for the past, like next six weeks, it's a fair every
24:12
different weekend. And we actually went to a fair, Zach and I with
24:17
our with another couple. We went to go see the band play that is
24:22
performing at our engagement party and they were so so good. But we went
24:26
to the fair. We played some games, we went on some rides.
24:27
It was just a very like wholesome double date. And I definitely want to
24:33
try and go back to another fair before fair season ends here. But it's
24:38
definitely really fun just to like do something with your partner or with your group
24:42
of friends, or go on a double date. As I said, just
24:45
like playing games together, you know, getting fair food, going on rides.
24:48
It just makes it feel very fall when it's fair season, specifically here
24:55
in Ottawa, like you just know it's fall when the fairs are happening,
25:00
So that's something very specific to hear potentially, but if you have a fair
25:03
nearby, I definitely recommend going. It's just like a fun little date night
25:07
and yeah, it's just enjoyable to do with your friends or your partner.
25:11
Okay, this next one is something I do every single year with my sister,
25:14
and that is go apple picking. I love doing apple picking. It's
25:18
actually just such a fun like date idea to again just do something with your
25:22
partner or your friends or your sister. And another great opportunity too, is
25:26
that it's a really fun like photo idea, like if you love to take
25:30
photos with your friends or anything like that, like for Instagram. It's so
25:33
fun to go apple picking and get photos together and just like make it a
25:37
whole experience, like go to Starbucks, go apple picking, like just make
25:42
a fun little day out of it. So I'm definitely going to be doing
25:45
that again with my sister this year. It's just a fun little activity we
25:48
get to do every year, and it's so yeah enjoyable, and then you
25:52
get some apples out of it as well, and the apples are just so
25:56
much better there than they are at the grocery store. Obviously because it's fresh
25:59
and it's just juicier and just so much better. Yeah, definitely go apple
26:03
picking if you haven't. It's just a fun little experience to do during the
26:06
day. And yeah, I do with your friends, all right. This
26:10
next one is movie marathon weekend. Definitely something I strive to do every weekend
26:18
in the fall season. Not even gonna lie. I just like hibernate,
26:22
like whenever gets cold outside, Like I just want to stay in my home.
26:25
I don't want to leave. I just want to sit on my couch
26:26
with Zach and turn on a movie and just like eat popcorn and just do
26:30
nothing like that to me, turn on my fireplace like that just sounds like
26:34
the perfect cozy night. Ever, But if you want to make a whole
26:38
weekend out of it, like pick your favorite like series to watch. Like
26:42
when I think of fall, I think of like Harry Potter, I think
26:45
of Hunger Games, like I think of like a horror movie, of you
26:49
know of a series to watch. Like one movie I can think of right
26:52
now that has three movies is The Conjuring or maybe it has two or three.
26:59
I don't know, but that's a really good horror movie. One thing
27:02
about me that you guys may not actually know about me is that I love
27:04
being scared. I don't know why. Like I love going into like haunted
27:07
houses, I love going haunted rides. I love watching horror movies. But
27:11
I scream like a little baby, but I love it. I don't know,
27:15
it's so weird. Like growing up, Zach and I would always like
27:18
go to the movie theaters to watch horror movies or anything like that. Like
27:22
we were just huge, like horror movie junkies, like I love Halloween so
27:26
much. So anyways, I love watching movies. So it's definitely a fun
27:30
thing to do to do like a marathon weekend of just watching you know,
27:34
all your favorite series of movies, or you can even binge watch your favorite
27:38
Netflix show like The Gilmore Girls or Stranger Things. I think that'd be such
27:42
a fun weekend idea. All right, This next one I've mentioned multiple times
27:47
and I have done it once this summer, and I did do it last
27:52
weekend with my sister, And that is having a paint night. My sister
27:57
and I bought cute little mug from Dollarama, just like plain white ones.
28:02
We got some paints and we made our mugs fall inspired, Like we put
28:06
pumpkins on it, little acorns, little leaves, all that all in like
28:11
fall colors, and it was such a fun activity to do. And we
28:14
put on The Gilmore Girls while we did that. So this is your sign.
28:18
If you haven't done this book, a paint night with your besties,
28:21
do like a fall inspired painting mugs or painting campuses. Another thing you could
28:26
do is you could buy those long candles and paint on those. I've seen
28:30
that on TikTok. That looks really really fun to do. You can even
28:33
paint like glassware if you want to do cute little pumpkin glassware. There's so
28:37
many ways to incorporate painting instead of just like on a canvas. And I
28:41
think that's why I like doing that more than just a canvas because I feel
28:45
like, for me, I'm not going to hang the artwork in my house,
28:48
like it's just not for me. But I would love to have like
28:51
a cute little mug to put my coffee in in the morning. Right,
28:53
So I thought that was such a fun little day idea, and me and
28:56
my sister had such a fun time doing it and we literally just like I
29:00
said, watch Gilmore Girls. Painted mugs, we're offer phones like. It
29:03
was just like such a fun way to disconnect and just chat with my sister.
29:07
So yeah, this is your signed to book a paint night with your
29:10
friends if you haven't, and just do like a fall inspired night. This
29:12
next one is something that I will be doing when I get home, because
29:18
this is just a need. Go through your closet and donate or sell things
29:22
you don't wear. We all know when we enter a new season, we
29:25
have this urge to buy new clothes, revamp or wardrobe, get into the
29:29
fall attire. And I totally hear you. I'm totally on board. I
29:33
myself have already ordered some ball items. But what I should have done before
29:37
I've done that is go through my closet to see what I already have and
29:41
what I need and what I can you know, things that don't fit me
29:45
or things that I don't like that I can sell or donate, right,
29:48
So, I definitely think it's important to go through your closet first before you
29:52
jump to the conclusion of ordering all this stuff because you might realize, oh,
29:56
I already had this water from two years ago or last year. So
30:00
definitely go through your closet figure out things that you can donate or sell or
30:03
anything like that, and then that will help you determine what you need for
30:07
the fall season, and then you can order some new fall pieces. So
30:11
the next one is going into new fall pieces for your wardrobe. I love
30:15
finding new things for a new season, and obviously there's always new things trending
30:21
when you enter a new season. So obviously, knit sweaters are always a
30:25
big thing for the fall season, Like just a chunky knit sweater is just
30:30
so so good. But one thing that I've seen that's been trending this year
30:33
is red. Which I'm not a big red girl, Like I'm not talking
30:37
like a burgundy red, like, I'm talking like a bright cherry red.
30:41
Apparently that's going to be really really infra fall, and I've already seen a
30:44
few people post on Instagram and Pinterest just like some pops of red. Doesn't
30:48
even have to be like a full red outfit. It's just like red sneakers,
30:52
red heels, red tank top, like just the smallest little details of
30:56
red and it looks so good. So I'm definitely trying to add more red
31:02
pieces into my wardrobe just because I don't own I literally don't own any red,
31:06
Like it's just not part of my color palette in my wardrobe. So
31:11
that's definitely something I've been trying to purchase more of. I already did order
31:15
one knit sweater because I've been eyeing it for so long and I just said,
31:18
frigate, I'm gonna get it. It was the Urritzia Peggy sweater in
31:22
like a nice cream color. I don't have a nice cream sweater, so
31:26
I guess I did kind of go through my wardrobe to see what I needed,
31:29
but I didn't actually like clean it out, like I definitely need to
31:32
clean it out. But yeah, definitely like quickly glanced through it and just
31:34
see what you need. As I said, like Pinterest is a great way
31:40
to find some fault inspo outfit ideas and figure out like what you might need.
31:45
But yeah, definitely red is very in this year. I also love
31:48
a good dark denim. Dark denim is really really end right now, like
31:52
a low rise, baggy dark denim. I have my favorite pair from the
31:56
brand Girlfriend Denim at Revolve. They're very price. I'm not gonna lie,
32:00
but I do feel like Denham is worth the investment because you're gonna have it
32:05
for such a long period of time. Another thing is Ugs and Birkenstocks.
32:09
Get them now because they're going to sell out. You guys know what.
32:13
I already ordered mine. I think they came in. Actually I haven't unboxed
32:15
them yet, but I think they came in last week. I got the
32:17
Platform Ugs. I've been eyeing them for so long, like a year,
32:22
because they only came out last year. But I did not get my hands
32:24
on them last year just because I couldn't justify paying the exaggerated price points that
32:30
people were putting match just because everybody wanted them. I have not got my
32:34
hands on a pair of Birkenstocks yet, but this is a pair of shoes
32:36
that I used to own in high school. High school, Like, I
32:39
never thought I would be rebuying these, but here we are rebuying the Burks.
32:45
So I yeah, definitely need to get my hands on a pair right
32:49
now. Again, they're all sold out, so I'm just waiting to see
32:52
when it comes back in stock. But Ugs and burken Stocks are definitely going
32:55
to be super in this fall season. So if you're is available, I
33:00
would get it now. Be ahead that way, you have everything ready as
33:04
we get into the colder months for all my readers out there, because you
33:07
know me, I'm starting my reading era. Once I finish this book,
33:12
I will be getting a fall inspired book or a thriller book or something like
33:15
that. So another idea is start a fall inspired book, like find something
33:21
that will get you into like the spooky season, or maybe like a thriller
33:23
book, or just something in general that could be like a love story like
33:28
in the fall season or something like that. I like how I'm reading this
33:30
Meet Me at the Lake book in the summertime, and we're in the summer
33:34
season, so it's just like very relatable. So definitely get a fall inspired
33:37
book if you're a big reader and you like to read very often. I
33:43
think it's like the perfect time too. Yeah, Like I said, get
33:45
yourself in the fall mood and start shopping for like thriller books or spooky books
33:51
or just yeah, a fall love story. All right, we have two
33:53
more left. This next one. You guys know, last year I did
33:59
this and it was the first time I've done that in a long time,
34:02
and that was change up your nail color. And when I say change up
34:06
your nail color, I'm saying go dark. Go to a dark nail color.
34:09
This was very shocking for me that I did last year. I have
34:14
not put a dark code of black or brown nail polish on my nails since
34:20
high school. A lot of these things are just like coming back obviously,
34:22
like the Birkenstocks and now dark nail colors. I will definitely be going back
34:28
dark for the fall, but not until October, just because of my engagement
34:31
party and all that. Like I have to I cannot have black nails at
34:35
my engagement party. That's just a no. But I did really enjoy doing
34:39
the dark nails. It was a very very fall I don't know, I
34:44
really liked it. It was like edgy, but like very like trending.
34:47
So yeah, I really love a dark brown. That was by far my
34:51
favorite color I did last fall, and with a bit of chrome on top,
34:54
it looks so good. So definitely change up your nail color for the
34:59
fall season. I think it makes it more fun. Like I'm a very
35:02
like neutral you guys know, neutral bubble bath French nail kind of gal.
35:07
But the dark nail color was very fun to do in the fall season last
35:12
year, so I definitely will be going dark again this year. Okay,
35:15
lastly, this is something I definitely want to do. But just booking a
35:19
weekend getaway to a cabin or a cottage. There's no better feeling than waking
35:22
up at a cottage on like a crisp morning, being by the water,
35:28
having a bomb fire, roasting marshmallows, going for a walk in the trails
35:31
that screams fall to me just immediately gives me all the fall vibes and it
35:37
just makes me want to book a cabin weekend right now. But definitely if
35:42
you have a cottage or a friend that has a cottage, or if you
35:45
have you know the time to book an airbnb and go in a little getaway.
35:50
It's such a fun thing to do in the fall season, whether it's
35:52
a relaxing getaway with your partner or your friend, or going with a big
35:55
group of your friends and making a whole like fun trip out of it,
36:00
or even going with your family, like no matter what, you're going to
36:01
have the best time and just feel all the fall vibes and just again seeing
36:07
the leaves change and all that and being by the water and oh, just
36:12
it makes me feel cozy immediately, like just talking about that. So if
36:15
you can, I highly highly highly recommend booking a weekend trip the end of
36:20
the month this year or in October, like find the time to do it,
36:23
because I definitely think it would be something to look forward to for the
36:28
fall season and it would just get you excited. All right, guys,
36:30
that's all the fall bucket list items are going to talk about. I definitely
36:35
have a lot more that I want to touch, but I will definitely make
36:37
a second part of this episode for October and just kind of talk about more
36:43
Halloween things to do and all that. I definitely feel like pumpkin season has
36:47
officially started, but not close enough to go to a pumpkin patch. So
36:52
yeah, definitely just getting little bits of Fall things in my home, Fall
36:58
drinks and all that. But I hope this episode gets you guys in the
37:00
fall mood. Definitely try some of these things. If you feel like you
37:04
haven't been in the fall mood, I'm telling you right now, you will
37:07
definitely feel inspired to become a Fall girly. But I'd love you guys all
37:13
so much. Thank you guys for listening to another episode, and I will
37:15
see you guys in next week's episode.
