Can you sense it? That brisk chill in the early morning air signaling the transition to a new season? Indeed, autumn is approaching. While some may be hesitant to accept this change, I wholeheartedly welcome it. Honestly, I’ve been indulging in fall fragrances since mid-August, and I have zero regrets.

As the leaves transform, schools reopen, and pumpkin spice infiltrates every corner of our lives, it feels like a fresh beginning. For those of us who go all out for autumn, you’ll likely spot us engaged in some of the following:

1. Heading to the apple orchard for perfectly posed family photos in coordinating sweaters for social media.
2. Hosting a harvest feast featuring everything from roast chicken to apple pie and roasted pumpkin seed pesto.
