🍁Wearing comfy, cute loungewear 
🍁Sipping an iced maple latte by the fire 
🍁Making a yummy pre-workout breakfast featuring my favorite pumpkin @noosayoghurt. It’s made with whole milk, tastes incredible and has the most smooth, velvety texture
🍁Fitting in a quick pilates workout 

The best part about romanticizing the little things is that the most basic routine somehow feels just a little more special. And I think we all deserve to start the day with feel-good rituals that we can lean into and fully appreciate, don’t you? 🤎

I’ve been listening to The Life of a Showgirl on repeat all day and can’t wait to sing my heart out at tonight’s release party!! 🎶💃🏻🪩 Who else is going and what are your favorite songs on @taylorswift’s new album? 

Mine are: The Fate of Ophelia, Opalite, Wish List, Cancelled and A Life of a Showgirl

“I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers” 🍁 

One of my fav quotes from a childhood literary heroine who taught me to romanticize the every day and that there’s always scope for the imagination 🧡 (and if you haven’t read Anne of Green Gables, you’re missing out) 

Since the holiday season kicks off next month, October is fully dedicated to all the best fall activities! Here are a few that I’m looking forward to: 

🍎 going apple picking 
🎃 visiting a pumpkin patch 
🍂 leaf peeping walks 
🍩 making apple cider donuts at home 
🎥 outdoor movie nights 
🍁 fall family photoshoot 
👻 celebrating Halloween as a family 
📖 cozy book club meeting 
🧡 hosting a themed dinner party 

What’s on your October bucket list? 

PS: this Taylor Swift audio is just getting me pumped for October 3rd! 🎶💕

It’s #PumpkinSpice season and obviously this means I needed to reshare my go-to Pumpkin Spice Protein smoothie that I make year after year (because it’s just that good) 🎃 

It’s creamy, healthy, and gives all the best fall vibes. SAVE this recipe to make later: 

✨1 banana 
✨2 pitted medjool dates
✨1/4 cup organic pumpkin puree 
✨1 scoop vanilla protein powder 
✨1 tbsp almond butter 
✨1 tbsp flax seeds 
✨ tsp of pumpkin pie spice 
✨ 1 cup unsweetened almond milk 
✨ ice 

Top with whipped coconut cream and some more pumpkin pie spice to make it a little *extra 

Let me know if you’ll be trying this! 🍁

Woke up to a very rainy, 50°F Autumn morning and decided this immediately called for some pumpkin muffins 🤎 

I used the @simplemills pumpkin bread mix, added chocolate chips to the batter and topped with @purely_elizabeth cinnamon granola — such a quick, easy breakfast/snack 

Cheers to more cozy mornings like this 🕯️🍂

(PS - did you peep the clay leaf candle holder I made from my previous reel? I love it so much!)
