How To Have A Perfectly Cozy Autumn Day (easy from home)

 Getting into a mood 

Hello, lovely friend! 

Today I am going to share some ways I get into the autumn mood easily without having to leave my home or do anything crazy or fancy. All you need is the things you have right now at home to create a day that feels like autumn. This is the stuff I do most every day. At the end of this post, I will have some easy activities including songs, movies, and tv show recommendations to help get you into the mood! 

Let’s get started! 

How to have a perfect cozy autumn day. 

Put on a cozy knit sweater or your favorite sweatshirt. Make yourself some warm tea or a cup of coffee with a dash of pumpkin spice. Every morning I have been making myself a warm cup of chai tea for a slow morning. And every time I make coffee I make sure to add some pumpkin spice (even though I ALWAYS have iced coffee, the pumpkin spice gives it autumn vibes). 

Diffuse some autumn-smelling oils (thieves, cinnamon bark, orange, clove, vanilla, etc). Turn on fairy lights and battery-operated candles (or homemade candles, or clean ones with NO fragrance, we do want to stay health conscious). 

These are all things I love to do to set the mood that I do almost every day. Now onto simple activities, you can do any day right at home! I usually don’t do all of these on the same day, this is more like picking and choosing what you want to do for the day. If you want, you can still do all of these in one day or spread it out and do it over multiple days. The point is to do something that is fun and cozy and helps set the mood. 

Bake A Fall Bake 

   Make a treat with apples, pumpkins, or spices. Treat yourself to some warm holiday feelings. Make apple spice donuts, pumpkin pie, or whatever is fun for you. Even making some chocolate chip cookies are perfect for this season. Today or tomorrow I am planning on either making spiced apple donuts or pumpkin pie! 

Turn Fall On Music

    Music is always a sure way to get into any mood. That is why you turn on Christmas music to feel like Christmas. This is the time to set the mood with music. Something I have been loving is turning on the Fall Radio on Pandora and just enjoying the music. 

Here are some of my favorite artists to listen to right now: 

• The Paper Kites 

• Taylor Swift 

• Noah Cyrus 

• The Lumineers

• Josh Garrels 

• Hozier 

• James Bay 

• Amber Run

*writing fun: I listen to all of these artists while I’m writing my new book! The short title is A Pumpkin Hill Story! This is the third book I have written and I am in love with the process! 

Read A Book

Watch A Nostalgic Movie 

I love watching movies in the autumn evenings with some warm tea with my family. 

Here are some of my favorites to watch in autumn (I couldn’t fit them all on a list but here are the top):

• The Chronicles Of Narnia: The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe 

• It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown 

• Little Women (2019 & 

• Pride and Prejudice

• Hello, Dolly! 

• The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society 

• Harry Potter 

• The Princess Diaries 

• Enola Holmes 

• A Monster Calls 

• Anne Of Green Gables (1985) 

Yesterday my family and I sat down to watch the new live-action Pinocchio! It was dark out and we all got to sit together and enjoy being together and have nostalgia over the old one. It was sweet because even my baby (almost 2 years old) little brother watched it with us and seemed to really enjoy watching it! It was special. 

Tv shows:

I love watching tv shows. These are all good shows perfect for this season (some of them I included what season to watch, but some of them are all autumn feeling to me)! Recently my mom, sister, and I have been rewatching Gilmore Girls! It has been so much fun going back to Stars Hollow and feeling the small town's cozy vibes. 

• Gilmore Girls 

• Downton Abbey

• The Great British Baking Show  

• Stranger things (seasons 1 & 2)

• Once Upon A Time (season 1) 

• Call The Midwife
