Fall is formally right here. As a real HomeBody, I like being at house within the fall. Nevertheless, it’s pure to have some blended feelings about this season!

For a lot of this seasonal change is tough as a result of as we see the times get shorter and darker, we all know meaning WINTER is subsequent!

Whereas I like fall right here within the Pacific NW, I really feel the sense of dread that creeps in because the solar begins to offer option to grey clouds and drizzle.

All of a sudden I discover myself realizing spring is so very very far-off.

I’ve many fall and winter rhythms and methods I enhance that convey me consolation within the darker months, there are such a lot of methods to play up the atmosphere and coziness of our house. They make a distinction in how I really feel concerning the fall and winter seasons.

However there may be one easy change I make each fall (and have for many years now!) as a result of it at all times makes an immediate and vital impression on my temper.

WE USE CANDLES EVERY SINGLE DAY!

I don’t simply have candles sitting round for particular events, I USE THEM EVERY DAY! There are candles EVERYWHERE in my house, significantly the rooms the place I spend essentially the most time.

We don’t use candles to scent our house. I hardly ever burn common candles as a result of I don’t need to regularly fill the air and my lungs with toxins or threat burning the home down. I used to purchase seasonally scented candles on a regular basis, and beloved them till I found that burning them may have a detrimental impression on my well being (I’ve Hashimotos).

Now we use unscented coloured battery operated candles and I take advantage of diffusers with pure important oils to scent the air–these are my favourite fall oils.

We have now already began our every day ritual of turning on my candles and the sunshine across the room transforms the temper from dreary to cozy. Now I sit up for turning on the candles each day to set a temper, slightly than feeling unhappy concerning the darkness.

Our house doesn’t obtain as a lot direct vivid gentle by the home windows as we had in our final home, so the candles right here make an much more vital impression on how our rooms really feel in fall and winter. I place candles in areas the place we work within the kitchen, across the room in the lounge, or on varied cabinets and rooms of the home.

In our earlier house we LOVED coloured taper candles in our wall sconces. There was no which means behind the colours, we merely selected them to enhance our decor or the season and I beloved seeing the colour towards the white partitions.

I’ll at all times love the simplicity of creamy white candles, however now I’m particularly pleased with candles in moodier colours that add a brand new layer to the atmosphere. Seeing my candles makes me really feel happier but in addition cozier, too. In reality, even my primary white battery operated votives are positioned in fairly amber or blue coloured glass votive holders so that they too add a layer of cozy.
