Dearest Candlenistas,
What is Autumn?
Credit Image : GoogleFor a person who lived and grew up in a tropical climate with only 2 seasons (wet or sunny), experiencing the change of weather around the months of September to November was very much the same as January to July!
I could only watch movies and look at pictures of what autumn was like. The change of colours in trees, shoes shuffling in freshly fallen orange hues of leaves and pumpkins. LOTS of pumpkins.
If you are living in a country where autumn is almost non existant (like in the tropics for me), There are some tips that can make you have that FALL feel 🍁
1) Orange is the new black

Introduce splashes of orange, neutrals, browns, mauve greens, dark blues, and purples as part of your decorations like pillow throws, table runners and flowers. Decorating rattan or wood weaved baskets with pumpkins and adding dried flowers and leaves would make a great entranceway decoration or living hall centre piece
2) Twigs, Sticks, and Leaves

3) Decorate your dining table centre pieces

3) Lastly, get the right scent to welcome FALL
"Pumpkin Spice" is voted to be the best scent to add mood for this fall season. With notes of cinnamon, cloves, apples and vanilla, the aroma is nothing short of cozy and comforting. Other scents that are popular are:
- Bergamot
- Apple
- Vanilla
- Ginger
- Tangerine
- Tonka Bean
- Cinnamon
Stay Awesome!
