10 Things I Love October

Hey friends! It’s October and today has been overcast with a chance of rain. We don’t really experience Autumn in Southern California, but I truly love all things fall. October is one of my favorite months because it begins the Holiday season. I look forward to parties and gatherings and time with family and friends celebrating the season together!

Today I’ve rounded up “10 Things I Love” to share some of my favorite things with you.

10 Things I Love October

Here are ten things I’ve been loving lately.

1. Morning coffee on the patio. My neighbors are dear friends and starting almost everyday with coffee time on the patio has become a routine I hate to miss. I love having time in the morning to just be. Not being in a rush in the morning is a beautiful thing.
2. Pour over coffee. (Of course I have two coffee related items – so coffee obsessed over here). My go to way of making coffee is pour over. It’s really the best. If you’ve never made coffee this way I highly recommend it.
3. Embracing fall. My favorite thing about fall is when the leaves change colors, unfortunately that doesn’t really happen in Southern California. It’s just not cool enough here and even though there are no dramatic signs of the season changing, I’m embracing the season anyways. I’m filling the house with mini pumpkins and candles and baking and every cozy vibe I can find.
4. Essential oils diffuser. I love running my diffuser everyday, especially at night in my bedroom. My favorite nighttime oil is lavender. During the day I love to use a blend of peppermint and orange. I know it sounds strange, but it’s actually really lovely. 
5. The Burn Notice. I started rewatching the Burn Notice on Amazon Prime. I love the way the story is narrated and I’ve always been a fan of clever spy shows and movies.
6. Jumpsuits. I struggled forever to find a jumpsuit I liked. Now jumpsuits are becoming a bit of obsession! So comfy and still chic.
7. Minimalism. Straight up confession, I’m terrible at minimalism, but I love it. One of my goals since returning from the Czech Republic in July has been to minimize my home and belongings. It’s a slow process, so I set myself a goal of getting rid of one thing a day for the whole month of October. I’ll let you know how that goes in November!
8. Learning a new language. Thanks to duolingo I can learn and practice Czech all I want! Hezký víkend!
9. Listening to podcasts. I just finished Uncover: Escaping NXIVM by CBC Radio and love The Story by The Mission.
10. Taking pictures of flatlays. I love taking pictures and I love getting lost in the art of it. So you’ll probably be seeing lots of flatlays in my Instagram feed in the coming months. Oh, and, I wrote a whole post about how to take them!

There you have it! 10 things I’m loving right now. Tell me, what’s something you are loving right now?
