Speaker 1: Hello you guys, Welcome back to another episode of the
0:16
Speaker 1: Hawkrel Energy Podcast. I'm your host, Kayleie, and this is
0:19
Speaker 1: your weekly reminder that it's a new day, a new week,
0:22
Speaker 1: a new mindset, and another day for you to become
0:24
Speaker 1: the Hawkgral energy you want to attract. Hello you guys,
0:28
Speaker 1: Welcome back to another episode. I apologize if this is
0:32
Speaker 1: uploaded again late. It has been insane since I've been home.
0:36
Speaker 1: I've been having to catch up with so much work. Obviously,
0:40
Speaker 1: with the wedding and the honeymoon. I decided not to
0:43
Speaker 1: take any brand deals or anything. I wanted to fully
0:46
Speaker 1: just be present, which I think was obviously the right
0:49
Speaker 1: thing to do. I took a really good social media
0:50
Speaker 1: break as well, and you know, just didn't film too
0:54
Speaker 1: much obviously, like I hired a content creator for the
0:57
Speaker 1: wedding day and all that, but I truly was just
0:59
Speaker 1: trying to be in the moment of the entire trip
1:02
Speaker 1: and I felt like it was a good break for me.
1:05
Speaker 1: But coming home, I feel like my manager was just
1:09
Speaker 1: texting me all these brand deals that I have to
1:12
Speaker 1: get done. So anyways, that's obviously my priority is submitting
1:17
Speaker 1: things that I have to get done. The podcast is
1:20
Speaker 1: obviously my priority as well, but I have to obviously
1:23
Speaker 1: make my brand deals a priority. So if this episode
1:25
Speaker 1: is uploaded late, I apologize. I'm trying my best here.
1:28
Speaker 1: It's a lot to manage, truly. I probably do need
1:32
Speaker 1: to hire someone part time, but yeah, I'm gonna figure
1:37
Speaker 1: that out hopefully in the new year. Right now, it's
1:38
Speaker 1: just going to be me, because you know, that's just
1:42
Speaker 1: how I've been rolling, just me, myself and I and
1:45
Speaker 1: my manager and my co managers. So anyways, I apologize
1:49
Speaker 1: if it's been super addy on social media as well.
1:52
Speaker 1: I just have to get this stuff done since I've
1:54
Speaker 1: been off and with my job, that's how I make money.
1:57
Speaker 1: So yeah, but anyways, welcome to another Fall episode. I
2:02
Speaker 1: am so excited because I love how much you guys
2:05
Speaker 1: are loving the Fall episodes. I saw some many of
2:07
Speaker 1: you guys share listening to the previous episode, which was
2:11
Speaker 1: the Fall Reset. If you haven't listened to that, highly
2:14
Speaker 1: recommend listening to it if you want to get in
2:16
Speaker 1: the Fall mood. It will definitely get you in the mood,
2:19
Speaker 1: let me tell you. So. Yeah, today is more of
2:22
Speaker 1: things that I think every Hawk Girl should make. A
2:25
Speaker 1: non negotiable for the fall season. These are things that
2:28
Speaker 1: I'm doing. These are things that I'm making a priority.
2:31
Speaker 1: And I like to think every new season that we're
2:34
Speaker 1: entering is a new way to again reset but also
2:39
Speaker 1: set new goals for ourselves. And this could be health goals,
2:42
Speaker 1: but it could also be just things that you want
2:45
Speaker 1: to do to really just make your life more enjoyable.
2:49
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm all about putting in the effort
2:51
Speaker 1: to you know, just enjoy the little things or actually
2:54
Speaker 1: make the effort to do things that you see other
2:56
Speaker 1: people do but you don't actually put the effort in
2:58
Speaker 1: doing it yourself. It's all about setting your mindset to
3:04
Speaker 1: things that you actually want to achieve yourself. So it's
3:06
Speaker 1: same thing as vision boards that we do in the
3:07
Speaker 1: new year. We always want to create these goals for ourselves.
3:11
Speaker 1: You know, there's usually big goals, there usually small goals,
3:13
Speaker 1: and they're all different types of goals when it comes
3:15
Speaker 1: to traveling, health and wellness, you know, social aspect, just
3:20
Speaker 1: fun things that you want to achieve yourself all that.
3:22
Speaker 1: So in this episode, I really wanted to talk about
3:25
Speaker 1: essentially a fall bucket list, but also things that you
3:28
Speaker 1: want to achieve for the fall season. So I truly
3:32
Speaker 1: love Pinterest, and you guys know how much I talk
3:34
Speaker 1: about Pinterests and how I think it's literally the best
3:36
Speaker 1: app in the world. If I were to describe to
3:37
Speaker 1: someone how I would want to live my best life,
3:40
Speaker 1: it would fully be based off of Pinterest. I'm not
3:43
Speaker 1: even overexaggerating, Like, I feel like Pinterest is truly my
3:46
Speaker 1: dream life, and I think a lot of people actually
3:48
Speaker 1: use Pinterest for that case. Right You find you know,
3:51
Speaker 1: dream homes that you're like, oh, I would love to
3:53
Speaker 1: have a home like that, or oh, you know, you
3:55
Speaker 1: see a family and you're like, oh my god, I
3:57
Speaker 1: would love to have that some time in my life. Right,
3:59
Speaker 1: Like is truly an area where you go to manifest
4:03
Speaker 1: and find your dreams and find your goals. And I'm
4:07
Speaker 1: all about that. You guys know that. That's like my
4:09
Speaker 1: biggest thing is always making sure we're here to achieve
4:12
Speaker 1: our goals and to never think that any goal is
4:15
Speaker 1: too big. I think we can all achieve things if
4:18
Speaker 1: we set our mind to it. And guys, I don't
4:21
Speaker 1: want to be that influencer. And this was actually not
4:24
Speaker 1: in my twenty twenty four vision board, not my twenty
4:27
Speaker 1: twenty four vision at all, I can't tell you, and
4:30
Speaker 1: I hate being that influencer that, oh, I can't tell
4:33
Speaker 1: you I have a surprise coming. It's not even like
4:35
Speaker 1: a surprise, it's just more so it's a big career
4:39
Speaker 1: shock to me in terms of like I can't believe
4:42
Speaker 1: that this brand wants to send me or bring me
4:46
Speaker 1: to this huge event. Like I'm not gonna say anymore
4:50
Speaker 1: because I don't want to give it away, but I
4:51
Speaker 1: am truly in shock that I was selected out of
4:57
Speaker 1: a group of influencers to go to this massive event.
5:01
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm speechless right now. I literally don't want
5:03
Speaker 1: to give it away because I want it to be
5:04
Speaker 1: surprised for you guys, because it is truly the most
5:08
Speaker 1: coolest thing I've ever been offered, and I'm so excited
5:11
Speaker 1: to take you guys along for the experience. But I
5:13
Speaker 1: basically leave in a month. Again not obviously by choice,
5:19
Speaker 1: like it was fully something that was just brought to
5:21
Speaker 1: my attention last week, And yeah, I was just shocked
5:24
Speaker 1: that I was even offered this. But again, this was
5:27
Speaker 1: something that never in my life I would ever be
5:31
Speaker 1: given the opportunity of doing. And this is why I
5:34
Speaker 1: talk about do not think that you cannot achieve these
5:38
Speaker 1: big goals for yourself because you never know what could happen.
5:41
Speaker 1: So that's all I want to say right there. But
5:44
Speaker 1: let's talk about some things that are going to be
5:46
Speaker 1: my non negotiables for fall and how you're going to
5:49
Speaker 1: have the best fall season and how you're going to
5:52
Speaker 1: achieve these things for yourself with the fall season. So firstly,
5:55
Speaker 1: let's just quickly talk about Pinterest for a second. I
5:58
Speaker 1: kind of already described what to do, but I think personally,
6:01
Speaker 1: the first thing you should do going into a new
6:03
Speaker 1: season or a new year is open up or create
6:07
Speaker 1: a Pinterest account. If you don't have one, I highly
6:09
Speaker 1: recommend creating one. Go on the app and just search
6:12
Speaker 1: keywords of goals or things that you want to do.
6:15
Speaker 1: So for me right now, going into the fall season,
6:18
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, Okay, what are some things that I want
6:20
Speaker 1: to do this fall? So I'm searching you know, fall
6:23
Speaker 1: date ideas or fall aesthetic or things to do in
6:26
Speaker 1: the fall season, fall fashion, Like, just think of keywords
6:31
Speaker 1: of things that you want to do this season. So
6:34
Speaker 1: are you looking at upgrading your fashion sense? Like do
6:37
Speaker 1: you want to invest in good quality pieces for the
6:40
Speaker 1: fall season. Do you want to think of really fun
6:42
Speaker 1: date ideas or activities that you want to do this
6:44
Speaker 1: fall with your partner or with your friends, Like you
6:47
Speaker 1: just search anything in Pinterest and it will literally give
6:50
Speaker 1: you images of ideas. So for me, I created a
6:53
Speaker 1: whole fall mood board and it's all these things that
6:57
Speaker 1: I want to do. So for an example, I want
6:59
Speaker 1: on Pinterest and it helped me create this episode of
7:02
Speaker 1: things that I want to do for myself for the
7:04
Speaker 1: fall season, but also just things that I want to
7:08
Speaker 1: share with you guys in terms of how you can
7:10
Speaker 1: spend your fall season and make it the most memorable
7:13
Speaker 1: one yet. So I think that's the first step is
7:16
Speaker 1: go on Pinterest, search some fall aesthetics, fall vibes, things
7:20
Speaker 1: that you want to do this season, and create a
7:22
Speaker 1: little mood board of how you want your fall season
7:24
Speaker 1: to look like. And for these next few things that
7:26
Speaker 1: I'm going to be sharing is a lot of things
7:28
Speaker 1: that I've saved on my Pinterest mood board of things
7:30
Speaker 1: that I want to do for this season. So first
7:34
Speaker 1: one is I really want to try and visit more
7:36
Speaker 1: coffee shops and more bakeries, trying out different ones. I
7:40
Speaker 1: personally think going to a coffee shop in the fall
7:43
Speaker 1: season just hits different. There's better coffees. I don't know
7:45
Speaker 1: if that makes sense, but there's just new coffees that
7:49
Speaker 1: they release. I feel like every season and the fall
7:52
Speaker 1: ones always just hit different. In my opinion, I think
7:54
Speaker 1: it's truly just the best fall menu is the coffees
7:58
Speaker 1: as well as the pastries. When I think of pastries,
8:01
Speaker 1: I think of like pumpkin scones. I think of anything rhubarb,
8:06
Speaker 1: you know, anything with cranberry in it. Just to me,
8:08
Speaker 1: those are my favorite. So I think this is your
8:12
Speaker 1: sign to definitely make going to different coffee shops and
8:15
Speaker 1: bakeries a priority, because I feel like it just hits
8:18
Speaker 1: different in the fall, like going on a nice walk
8:21
Speaker 1: with either your husband, your fiance, your partner, or with
8:25
Speaker 1: your best friend. Going to visit a different coffee shop,
8:28
Speaker 1: trying new things with your friend. Whether it's you get
8:30
Speaker 1: two different coffees and two different pastries and you share.
8:33
Speaker 1: It's such a small little detail, but I do feel
8:36
Speaker 1: like during the fall season, I love visiting different spots
8:39
Speaker 1: and trying different spots out. And you know, every pumpkin
8:42
Speaker 1: spice Lotte. I feel like is different at different coffee shops.
8:45
Speaker 1: They all taste different. In my opinion, they don't taste
8:48
Speaker 1: the same. So yeah, that's just something that I think
8:51
Speaker 1: is a fun idea to do with a friend. And
8:53
Speaker 1: then when I think of bakeries, I think of going
8:55
Speaker 1: to pick up like fresh sour dough bread or fresh bagels. Again,
8:59
Speaker 1: what is seasonal right now? Do they have anything, you know,
9:02
Speaker 1: fresh for the fall season, anything pumpkin related? You guys
9:06
Speaker 1: know I'm obsessed with pumpkin, But anyways, there's other things
9:10
Speaker 1: like fresh doughnuts or anything that for the fall season.
9:13
Speaker 1: So yeah, definitely recommend doing that as a little hobby
9:16
Speaker 1: is trying out different bakeries and coffee shops. Another thing
9:20
Speaker 1: I love to do during the fall season is visit
9:22
Speaker 1: farmers' markets. I also love to do that during the
9:24
Speaker 1: summer season, but obviously in the winter, we don't have
9:28
Speaker 1: any farmer's markets going around here. And I will say
9:32
Speaker 1: that you find the best little goodies when you go
9:35
Speaker 1: to a farmer's market. When it comes to finding local
9:37
Speaker 1: brands who maybe sell different candles or different types of
9:40
Speaker 1: like homemade goods like again, treats, pastries and anything like that.
9:44
Speaker 1: I love, love, love buying fresh produce a lot of
9:47
Speaker 1: the time. They also sell eggs there as well, so
9:50
Speaker 1: everything's just from the farm, Like literal farmers come to
9:53
Speaker 1: the farmer's market and they sell all of their produce
9:56
Speaker 1: and meats and eggs and you name it. And I
10:01
Speaker 1: just love buying from them, obviously over the grocery store
10:04
Speaker 1: because you know, everything is fresh, So love doing that.
10:08
Speaker 1: And usually there's a lot of music going on. There's
10:10
Speaker 1: a lot of like fall inspired things going on as well,
10:14
Speaker 1: floral bouquets that you can get for the house. I
10:17
Speaker 1: don't know. It's just like a fun outdoor activity to
10:19
Speaker 1: do on the weekend. Our farmer's Market usually happens other
10:23
Speaker 1: Saturday or Sunday morning, and I just find it's a
10:25
Speaker 1: fun little thing to do. Zach and I have done
10:27
Speaker 1: it three times this summer, and I hope to go
10:30
Speaker 1: maybe this weekend, to be honest, because I think it's
10:32
Speaker 1: actually only open for two more weekends, so I need
10:35
Speaker 1: to make it a priority to do. And yeah, it's
10:38
Speaker 1: just a fun little thing to do. And obviously you're
10:40
Speaker 1: shopping at the same time, and what girl doesn't love
10:42
Speaker 1: to shop A cute little date night idea that I've
10:44
Speaker 1: been meaning to do with Zach is go to a fair.
10:47
Speaker 1: It is fair season here for us, and I always
10:50
Speaker 1: try and do this once a year because I find
10:52
Speaker 1: they're the best dates. Like, honestly, they're so fun, just
10:56
Speaker 1: going with your partner and or again your friend or
10:59
Speaker 1: anything like that. Again, there's live music happening, there's usually
11:02
Speaker 1: games that you could play, there's rides you can go
11:05
Speaker 1: with like a big group of friends if you want,
11:07
Speaker 1: or a big group of couples. It's just like a
11:09
Speaker 1: fun weekend night thing to do. And it's only fair
11:13
Speaker 1: season during the fall, Like we never have fars during
11:16
Speaker 1: the summer here, so I feel like, I don't know,
11:18
Speaker 1: we grew up doing that, Like our high school would
11:21
Speaker 1: always go to the same fair every single year and
11:24
Speaker 1: it was always in September, and I feel like Zach
11:26
Speaker 1: and I have kept that tradition, but instead of going with,
11:29
Speaker 1: you know, our high school friends, we would just go
11:31
Speaker 1: him and I or with another couple, and we still
11:33
Speaker 1: make a fun date night out of it. So it's
11:35
Speaker 1: kind of like a little tradition. But yeah, just going
11:37
Speaker 1: to your local fair in the area. I don't know
11:39
Speaker 1: if that's like common for you guys in the States
11:42
Speaker 1: or Australia or wherever you guys are, or in Europe.
11:44
Speaker 1: But yeah, we have fars here and it's a fun
11:47
Speaker 1: little date night thing to do. Another thing that's going
11:50
Speaker 1: to be a non negotiable for the fall season. Okay, ladies,
11:54
Speaker 1: hear me out, dark nails. Dark nails is the vibe
12:00
Speaker 1: for fall twenty twenty four. I fell into the trap
12:04
Speaker 1: of doing dark nails last year and it was the
12:07
Speaker 1: best decision I've ever made. I have been a neutral
12:09
Speaker 1: nail girl for my entire life. I'm not even over exaggerating.
12:12
Speaker 1: I think the last time I did dark nails was
12:15
Speaker 1: when I was in high school and it was like
12:16
Speaker 1: black nails short all that, and I will say dark
12:21
Speaker 1: short nails are in. I haven't really seen anyone do black.
12:23
Speaker 1: But a lot of the colors that are really popular
12:26
Speaker 1: right now are dark brown, dark burgundy, different shades of red,
12:31
Speaker 1: different shades of brown, like anything within that color pilote,
12:34
Speaker 1: like a deep purple would be really nice, kind of
12:37
Speaker 1: like a burgundy in a way. But I have been
12:39
Speaker 1: meaning to honestly go get my nails changed. I just
12:43
Speaker 1: got them done, not last week, but so It's only
12:46
Speaker 1: been a week and a half, sorry, not full two weeks,
12:48
Speaker 1: so honestly, they don't really need to get done, but
12:50
Speaker 1: I've just been wanting to get the dark nails so badly.
12:53
Speaker 1: Like I'm literally seeing everyone post about it on their
12:56
Speaker 1: Instagram stories, and I'm like, I got the itch. I
12:58
Speaker 1: need to get my nails color asap. It just gives
13:01
Speaker 1: fall and I find it looks so fricking good. I
13:05
Speaker 1: don't know what it is. I'm just obsessed with it,
13:07
Speaker 1: and I just want to keep the dark nails going
13:08
Speaker 1: for a long period of time, like I hope it
13:10
Speaker 1: honestly drags into winter with the dark nail trend. I
13:13
Speaker 1: just think it looks so stunning. So anyways, I got
13:17
Speaker 1: light pink right now. The only reason why I got
13:19
Speaker 1: light pink is because I was attending a wedding and
13:22
Speaker 1: I was wearing a red dress and I felt like
13:24
Speaker 1: if I did like a different shade of red, or
13:26
Speaker 1: if I did brown, it just was gonna look weird
13:28
Speaker 1: for the wedding. I don't know, I just felt like
13:30
Speaker 1: it wasn't wedding appropriate. I don't know if that makes sense,
13:32
Speaker 1: but I feel like I'm very picky with my nails
13:34
Speaker 1: for any kind of event. And yeah, so anyways, dark
13:38
Speaker 1: nails are in highly recommend going to book a nail
13:41
Speaker 1: appointment and get your nails done. It's also a nice
13:44
Speaker 1: thing to do to treat yourself and even if you
13:46
Speaker 1: just paint them at home. I also love seeing your
13:49
Speaker 1: nails and your toenails match like the same polish. I've
13:52
Speaker 1: never done dark nails on my toes. I don't think
13:54
Speaker 1: I've ever done that. That will be fun to try,
13:56
Speaker 1: so maybe I'll do that the next time I go in. Anyways,
13:59
Speaker 1: I may get my nails changed this week or next week.
14:02
Speaker 1: We'll see. But I am loving the dark nail trend
14:04
Speaker 1: right now and I think it is a muss for
14:07
Speaker 1: the fall season to definitely try out if you haven't.
14:10
Speaker 1: Another muss for the fall season is finding a day
14:14
Speaker 1: within September or October and going to a pumpkin patch
14:18
Speaker 1: or going apple picking. These are two things that I always, always, always,
14:24
Speaker 1: always make sure that I do because it's such a
14:25
Speaker 1: fun activity to do. Usually I do it with my sister.
14:28
Speaker 1: We've done it now three times in a row, just
14:31
Speaker 1: her and I. I've done it with Zach in the
14:32
Speaker 1: past as well, but I don't know. I just enjoy
14:35
Speaker 1: doing it with my sister because we make a whole
14:36
Speaker 1: day out of it, Like we go to Starbucks or
14:38
Speaker 1: we go to a coffee shop, we get you know,
14:40
Speaker 1: pumpkin spice lottes, we go for the drive, we go
14:43
Speaker 1: to the pumpkin patch or the apple picking. We usually
14:45
Speaker 1: get photos, so you can make a whole day out
14:47
Speaker 1: of it, right, like get some Instagram photos. Who doesn't
14:50
Speaker 1: love taking photos for the fall season, and then getting
14:54
Speaker 1: some apples they also usually sell, like fresh apple pie
14:57
Speaker 1: or those like dipped caramel app Oh my god, I
15:00
Speaker 1: have not had that in so long. Those would be
15:03
Speaker 1: so fun to do at the apple picking. And then
15:05
Speaker 1: with the pumpkin patch. I love going to pick out
15:07
Speaker 1: our own pumpkins for our front step that we can
15:10
Speaker 1: put on our front porch. And there's like all different
15:13
Speaker 1: colors of pumpkins, like green ones, white ones, different shades
15:16
Speaker 1: of orange all that. I don't know. I just think
15:18
Speaker 1: it's so fun to do those things. And you don't
15:21
Speaker 1: have anything like that in the summer or the winter
15:24
Speaker 1: at least I don't have anything here for that. So
15:27
Speaker 1: for me, I just really prioritize doing those fun little
15:30
Speaker 1: things in the fall because I don't know, they seem
15:32
Speaker 1: very meaningful to me, and I think it's just a
15:35
Speaker 1: fun thing to do and it gets you out of
15:36
Speaker 1: the house, it gets you off your phone. It's a
15:38
Speaker 1: nice thing to do with a friend, and yeah, just
15:41
Speaker 1: something I really enjoy doing. Another non negotiable for the
15:44
Speaker 1: fall season is planning our fall outfits before purchasing. And
15:48
Speaker 1: what I mean by that is we do not want
15:50
Speaker 1: to waste our money. I kind of briefly chatted about
15:53
Speaker 1: it in the previous episode about resetting my closet, you know,
15:57
Speaker 1: going through my wardrobe, making sure I wasn't buying duplicates
15:59
Speaker 1: of things all that. But one thing I love to
16:02
Speaker 1: do is there's an app called Canba and I'm pretty
16:05
Speaker 1: sure I've talked about it in the past, but it's free.
16:08
Speaker 1: It's basically a free photoshop app. And what I love
16:10
Speaker 1: to use it for is if I'm decorating spaces in
16:12
Speaker 1: the house or if I'm wanting to order clothes, I
16:16
Speaker 1: usually go on this app and I copy and paste
16:18
Speaker 1: the images that are from the website and I put
16:20
Speaker 1: it on this Canva doc and it's just like a
16:22
Speaker 1: white background, nothing crazy. But I will literally like photoshop
16:26
Speaker 1: a couch and a coffee table and I will pull
16:29
Speaker 1: you know, pillows and throws and coffee table books and
16:32
Speaker 1: all that, and I will literally put it all in
16:34
Speaker 1: one document to see, Okay, do these pillows match the
16:38
Speaker 1: aesthetic of my home? Okay, No, they're too dark. I
16:41
Speaker 1: need to do something later. Like it helps me determine
16:45
Speaker 1: what is worth purchasing or not. And I feel like
16:48
Speaker 1: not like I save money out of it. But what
16:49
Speaker 1: I love about it is that it allows me to know, Okay,
16:52
Speaker 1: is this gonna flow within my tip of fashion sense
16:55
Speaker 1: or is this gonna flow in my home specifically? Like
16:58
Speaker 1: it allows you to avoid any returns in the future,
17:02
Speaker 1: if that makes sense. Like you know, when you buy
17:03
Speaker 1: something doesn't go with either your body style or it
17:07
Speaker 1: doesn't fit with your home aesthetic or anything like that,
17:09
Speaker 1: and then you have to the hassle of returning it,
17:10
Speaker 1: blah blah blah, Like it's annoying. I will say, I
17:13
Speaker 1: hate returning, That's one thing I absolutely hate. So to
17:15
Speaker 1: avoid that hassle, I'm always using CANBA to help plan
17:19
Speaker 1: out my outfits, plan out my home decor all that.
17:23
Speaker 1: So for the fall season, I've been loving to grab,
17:26
Speaker 1: you know, photos from different websites that I'm looking at
17:29
Speaker 1: and create some fall outfits and it allows me to see, Okay,
17:32
Speaker 1: can I wear this top multiple times? Can I wear
17:34
Speaker 1: these pants multiple times? Is this a one time thing
17:37
Speaker 1: where it's like I'm gonna wear these pants once and
17:39
Speaker 1: that's it. So it does actually help with making the
17:42
Speaker 1: right purchase as well. I don't know if anyone else
17:44
Speaker 1: does this or has never heard of it, but this
17:47
Speaker 1: is just something that I've always done, and I find
17:50
Speaker 1: it really helps me determine things that I'm going to
17:53
Speaker 1: purchase and if it's worth it or not. To me,
17:56
Speaker 1: it's a way of saving money because I'm not, you know,
17:59
Speaker 1: wasting my money on something that I know I'm only
18:01
Speaker 1: going to wear ones. So, for an example, if I
18:03
Speaker 1: really like this top and it's a specific shade of white,
18:06
Speaker 1: let's say, and it only goes with one pair of
18:09
Speaker 1: pants that I have, it's not worth getting. But if
18:11
Speaker 1: it goes with denim, if it goes with you my
18:14
Speaker 1: white linen pants, if it goes with like my cargo pants,
18:17
Speaker 1: there's three outfits right there that is worth purchasing the
18:20
Speaker 1: top four. So that's just an idea. If you're looking at,
18:23
Speaker 1: like revamping your wardrobe or trying to get some fall
18:25
Speaker 1: pieces for the fall season. I think really plan outfits
18:30
Speaker 1: out and just see if it's worth buying before purchasing it.
18:33
Speaker 1: And as I said, you can use this for the
18:35
Speaker 1: same reason for home decor if you have a space
18:37
Speaker 1: in your home that you want to revamp. I love
18:40
Speaker 1: using Canva. I think it helps so much just to
18:44
Speaker 1: remodel or just help make any purchases. Another non negotiable
18:48
Speaker 1: is just have a day with your friend to get
18:50
Speaker 1: fall inspired photos taken. As I said, I don't know
18:54
Speaker 1: if everyone loves getting Instagram photos taken. Obviously it's my job,
18:57
Speaker 1: but I truly just love doing that. That is something
19:00
Speaker 1: I've always loved doing, and I love making a fun
19:02
Speaker 1: little day out of it with my sister or with
19:05
Speaker 1: a friend or with Zach, you know, going to get
19:07
Speaker 1: copies together, go to a cute neighborhood, figure out photos
19:10
Speaker 1: that you like on Pinterest, and maybe like recreate it.
19:14
Speaker 1: Fun things like that. I don't know. That's something that
19:16
Speaker 1: me and my sister love to do, and we literally
19:18
Speaker 1: will do this all the time, and we think it's
19:20
Speaker 1: such a fun way to get photos taken together and yeah,
19:24
Speaker 1: just make a fun day out of it. This next
19:26
Speaker 1: one is the top goal for my fall twenty twenty
19:30
Speaker 1: four season, and that is having a little weekend getaway,
19:33
Speaker 1: whether it's a cabin weekend or going to a cottage,
19:37
Speaker 1: going camping, or just going to a hotel for just
19:40
Speaker 1: a little escape. Anything like that I think is so fun.
19:45
Speaker 1: So if you have a cottage, or if your friend
19:46
Speaker 1: has a cottage, or if you love camping, or even
19:49
Speaker 1: if it's just like a day trip somewhere. I just
19:52
Speaker 1: love the idea of getting away, going in the trees,
19:56
Speaker 1: being in the forest, Like, oh my gosh, like this
19:58
Speaker 1: to me right now, Like all I can picture right
20:00
Speaker 1: now is me in a cozy cabin looking at the
20:04
Speaker 1: most stunning hill views of all the leaves, changing, cozied
20:08
Speaker 1: up by a fire, having a glass of wine or
20:11
Speaker 1: like hot cocoa or something with Zach like oh my gosh,
20:16
Speaker 1: like oh, cooking in a cabin, just having like a
20:19
Speaker 1: little date night in the cabin, like again, looking at
20:21
Speaker 1: these beautiful views, maybe having a campfire outside, Like this
20:25
Speaker 1: is the vibe, Like this is the vibe I want
20:27
Speaker 1: for my fall season. I need to go on a
20:29
Speaker 1: fall weekend getaway just so I can live that experience
20:32
Speaker 1: that I just described, because that to me sounds amazing.
20:35
Speaker 1: There's a lot of areas like Mont Tremblas, Vermont Muscoca.
20:40
Speaker 1: They're not too far from where I live Prince Edward County.
20:42
Speaker 1: They're about two hours away, and I just love the
20:46
Speaker 1: idea of having a little weekend trip and yeah, going
20:49
Speaker 1: to a cottage having a campfire like that is to
20:52
Speaker 1: me the best feeling ever. And even if you don't
20:55
Speaker 1: have the opportunity to do a weekend getaway, as I mentioned,
20:58
Speaker 1: having a campfire in the fall just hits different. Like
21:01
Speaker 1: if you have the opportunity to have a little campfire
21:04
Speaker 1: in your backyard or at a friend's house or anything
21:07
Speaker 1: like that, campfires just hit different in the fall. Like
21:10
Speaker 1: I love it for the summer, but during the fall
21:12
Speaker 1: season it's so crisp out you want a blanket, You
21:15
Speaker 1: just want a cozy by the fire because you're cold,
21:18
Speaker 1: and the air is just different, Like I don't know,
21:20
Speaker 1: it just it's a whole different vibe. And to me,
21:24
Speaker 1: being by a campfire during the fall is the best
21:27
Speaker 1: thing ever. Another idea if you can't do a weekend
21:30
Speaker 1: getaway is just exploring a small town that's close by
21:33
Speaker 1: that you can do in a day. Again, I am
21:35
Speaker 1: very much that kind of person that likes to try
21:37
Speaker 1: new things, explore different places, love visiting different boutiques. When
21:41
Speaker 1: it comes to shopping all that, there's so many fun
21:44
Speaker 1: little spots that you could check out around your area.
21:47
Speaker 1: I'm sure you know going on social media would help,
21:49
Speaker 1: just searching different areas near your hometown, Like for us,
21:53
Speaker 1: we have a little town called Elmont again Prince Everard County, Kingston,
21:59
Speaker 1: like just a lot of smaller towns that are close
22:01
Speaker 1: by that would be a fun little day trip. Another
22:05
Speaker 1: idea is traveling to the States. So I personally love
22:08
Speaker 1: doing this and I plan on doing this again with
22:10
Speaker 1: Zach for the fall season as well as for the
22:14
Speaker 1: Christmas time. Because I don't know if anyone from the
22:17
Speaker 1: States ever comes to Canada to try out Canadian things,
22:20
Speaker 1: I don't really think they do. But for us, I
22:23
Speaker 1: think it's just because we see so many people from
22:26
Speaker 1: the States post about Target or Trader Joe's or Duncan
22:30
Speaker 1: and we don't have anything like that. Like we used
22:32
Speaker 1: to have a Target, but it completely flopped and it
22:35
Speaker 1: was not the same as the Target in the States.
22:38
Speaker 1: The same thing with our Amazon. Our Amazon's good, but
22:41
Speaker 1: it's not as good as the American Amazon. So anyways,
22:44
Speaker 1: I think it's just because we like to go there
22:46
Speaker 1: to just try the things out that people hype about.
22:49
Speaker 1: So for me personally, I love going to Trader Joe's
22:51
Speaker 1: to find all these pumpkin things I see people post about,
22:54
Speaker 1: Like pumpkin pasta. I think it's pumpkin YUCKI is what
22:57
Speaker 1: it is. I've seen, like pumpkin spice cookies. There's like
23:02
Speaker 1: pumpkin spice, cold foam, different types of pumpkin spice coffee
23:06
Speaker 1: that we don't have, yogurts, you name it, like, we
23:09
Speaker 1: don't have any of that. So it's just fun to
23:12
Speaker 1: go buy some things, bring it home, try it out
23:14
Speaker 1: all that. So I don't know if that's just a
23:16
Speaker 1: Canadian thing. I don't I don't see much Americans film
23:20
Speaker 1: videos of come to Canada with me anyways, but not
23:24
Speaker 1: like Canada is amazing. Don't get me wrong, I love Canada,
23:26
Speaker 1: but it's just funny to have this thing. I feel
23:29
Speaker 1: like people from the States always comment on those videos
23:31
Speaker 1: that I film, saying like, what's the urge to come
23:34
Speaker 1: here compared to you know, staying in Canada, and then yeah,
23:37
Speaker 1: I just explained to them, like, hey, there's these little
23:39
Speaker 1: things that we don't have that as Canadians just always
23:42
Speaker 1: want to go over and try. So however, we are
23:44
Speaker 1: finally starting to get things from the States, like recently
23:47
Speaker 1: we just got a Chick fil A here, which I
23:50
Speaker 1: believe is from the States. So anyways, I just find
23:53
Speaker 1: it funny that, you know, of course things are starting
23:55
Speaker 1: to come here, we're just a tad behind. Another non
23:58
Speaker 1: negotiable that I want to do this fall season is
24:00
Speaker 1: go hiking. I love hiking in the fall, and I
24:04
Speaker 1: think one reason is because it's so hot in the
24:07
Speaker 1: summer that I don't find hiking enjoyable because you're just
24:10
Speaker 1: dying of heat from you know, walking on an incline.
24:13
Speaker 1: Where is in the fall it's not as hot, so
24:16
Speaker 1: you know, you're not really sweating. It still feels like
24:18
Speaker 1: a workout, but you're not dying of heat. So the
24:20
Speaker 1: fall season for me is the perfect time to go
24:22
Speaker 1: on a hike. And my friends actually do this pretty often.
24:26
Speaker 1: I would say, like we have a group chat, and
24:27
Speaker 1: I would say once every two weeks. There's a message
24:30
Speaker 1: that goes out saying, does anyone want to go hiking?
24:32
Speaker 1: Like what time should we go at, what trail should
24:34
Speaker 1: we do? All that, So it's a fun thing to
24:36
Speaker 1: do with friends during the fall season. Another no negotiable
24:39
Speaker 1: that we're doing this season Zach and I were doing
24:42
Speaker 1: this at home, is we're trying one new fall recipe
24:45
Speaker 1: a week, whether it's a dinner recipe or a baking recipe.
24:49
Speaker 1: I'm not very good at baking, but I'm so tempted
24:51
Speaker 1: to make so many amazing things, and I think the
24:54
Speaker 1: fall is truly the best time for baking. There's so
24:57
Speaker 1: many good like cookie recipes. There's like this pumpkin spice
25:00
Speaker 1: cookie that I want to make, scones, as I said,
25:04
Speaker 1: even like any type of bread, like I personally think
25:07
Speaker 1: of banana bread during the fall season. I don't know
25:10
Speaker 1: if that's weird, but any kind of loaf or bread
25:12
Speaker 1: I think of for the fall. Zach and I want
25:15
Speaker 1: to start a soup series this week, so trying different
25:17
Speaker 1: soups out, you know, different cast roles would be really
25:23
Speaker 1: good as well. So I don't know. Zach and I
25:24
Speaker 1: have just talked about it in the past few days
25:27
Speaker 1: and we're just like we need to change up for
25:28
Speaker 1: dinner recipes, and it'd be fun to really incorporate different
25:32
Speaker 1: types of fall recipes thinking about, you know, the recipes
25:36
Speaker 1: of cooking for the fall season. All that. I feel
25:40
Speaker 1: like people need to romanticize their nights more doing candlelight dinners,
25:44
Speaker 1: turning on the fireplace, having a glass of wine, make
25:47
Speaker 1: hot cocoa, whatever. It is. Like, you can truly enjoy
25:50
Speaker 1: your space if you actually put the effort towards it.
25:53
Speaker 1: Same thing if you're in school, if you're studying and
25:56
Speaker 1: you know you're studying at your desk and you know
25:59
Speaker 1: you feel I don't know, like there's a feeling that
26:01
Speaker 1: you know when you get sick and tired of a
26:02
Speaker 1: space and you're you're not inspired and you kind of
26:05
Speaker 1: just feel off. You have a desk that you study
26:08
Speaker 1: at or if you work at, just add a few
26:10
Speaker 1: touches to make it feel more fall inspired, really romanticize
26:14
Speaker 1: the space. Light a candle again, put maybe something on
26:17
Speaker 1: your laptop desktop and just you know, put a fall
26:21
Speaker 1: background on. Get you know, a pumpkin candle. As I said, like,
26:25
Speaker 1: just little things like that I think will just boost
26:27
Speaker 1: your mood and it will create a bit of a
26:30
Speaker 1: change in your scenery. Like my sister, for an example,
26:32
Speaker 1: she hates her corporate office, Like she has this cubicle.
26:36
Speaker 1: She said, I hate it. I hate working there. So
26:38
Speaker 1: I said to her, I said, you need to go
26:40
Speaker 1: to home sense and just you know, put a budget
26:43
Speaker 1: in place, pick out a few fall items, buy a plant, like,
26:46
Speaker 1: just create this space and romanticize it by making it
26:50
Speaker 1: feel a bit more homey, like making it feel a
26:51
Speaker 1: bit more comfortable. And she literally sent me a snapchat
26:54
Speaker 1: this morning and she decorated it, and she was asking
26:56
Speaker 1: me like, Okay, what do I need to add. I'm
26:58
Speaker 1: already liking it a bit more. It feels more welcoming
27:01
Speaker 1: to come all that. So making your space more welcoming
27:04
Speaker 1: and more enjoyable will honestly really affect your mindset and
27:07
Speaker 1: affect you in terms of how you feel about going
27:10
Speaker 1: into the space all that. So anyways, that's just my
27:13
Speaker 1: tip if you're looking to just feel reinspired or be
27:16
Speaker 1: in a better mindset and just really romanticizing and putting
27:20
Speaker 1: the effort into your space or nights or you know,
27:24
Speaker 1: work ethic anything like that. Like I truly find it
27:27
Speaker 1: makes a difference if you put the effort in creating
27:30
Speaker 1: a work environment or a space that's more comfortable and
27:33
Speaker 1: more homey. The last thing that is a non negotiable
27:36
Speaker 1: for the fall season is hosting a girl's night or
27:38
Speaker 1: a sleepover and make it into a fun fall theme.
27:42
Speaker 1: One thing that me and my sister actually did this
27:44
Speaker 1: past weekend is we did a painting night. So she
27:47
Speaker 1: came over, she slept over, and we painted these glass
27:51
Speaker 1: cups and we did like little pumpkins on it, and
27:54
Speaker 1: we put on the Gilmore Girls in the background and
27:57
Speaker 1: it was just a fun little Fall night. We also
27:59
Speaker 1: made like a popcorn fall inspired mix, like we did
28:03
Speaker 1: like pumpkin candy chocolates and I think the popcorn was
28:09
Speaker 1: pumpkin flavored. I can't remember, but anyways, we made a
28:12
Speaker 1: whole night out of it and it was so fun.
28:16
Speaker 1: And I've seen so many people host fall inspired nights
28:19
Speaker 1: with their girlfriends and again it could be cooking related.
28:22
Speaker 1: You could do like a whole pumpkin theme, you know,
28:25
Speaker 1: dinner and dessert night with your girlfriends. I've done like
28:29
Speaker 1: different wine nights. You can bring all wines over, try
28:32
Speaker 1: different wines and include different you know, Fall aspects to
28:37
Speaker 1: the hosting night. Again, paint night. As I said, you
28:41
Speaker 1: could carve pumpkins, bake together, whatever the case may be.
28:45
Speaker 1: I think hosting nights like that are always so fun
28:48
Speaker 1: and it's something different, it's enjoyable, and yeah, I just
28:51
Speaker 1: think girls' nights are a muss. So that's everything that
28:54
Speaker 1: I am personally wanting to achieve this fall season. And
28:58
Speaker 1: I always love to give you guys some inspe in
29:00
Speaker 1: terms of non negotiables that you should do for the
29:03
Speaker 1: fall season. And as I said, I think the first
29:06
Speaker 1: step is to go on Pinterest and figure out what's
29:09
Speaker 1: your vibe to the fall? What do you want? What
29:11
Speaker 1: kind of fashion sense do you want? What kind of
29:14
Speaker 1: environment do you want to create your home? What kind
29:16
Speaker 1: of you know environment do you want to create for
29:18
Speaker 1: your workspace or just your bedroom? In general? What are
29:22
Speaker 1: things that you want to do this fall season. Do
29:24
Speaker 1: you want to have a little fall getaway? Do you
29:26
Speaker 1: want to you know, focus on your fashion sense and
29:29
Speaker 1: like that. Like, there's so many different ways on how
29:31
Speaker 1: you want to achieve the best season yet, and I
29:34
Speaker 1: truly find Pinterest is the best way to start. So
29:37
Speaker 1: definitely make sure to create a Pinterest mood board tag
29:39
Speaker 1: me if you create one for the fall season. That's
29:42
Speaker 1: going to help you determine what goals you want for
29:45
Speaker 1: this season. But anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed this episode.
