Good morning, reader! Today, we are going to talk about 5 ways to turn a normal day in October into a MAGICAL day in October. This post is an easy-to-do gamechanger, so grab a cozy blanket, yummy warm beverage (in the appropriate mug as you'll read later on!), and settle in!
1. Enjoy the darker evenings!
In less than a month, Daylight Saving Time ends here in NH. It's kind of already happening now, with the sky getting darker at 5:30. I understand some people reallllly don't like it, but it's happening anyway. Instead of letting it make you upset, embrace it! It sucks getting home at "night", I know, but honestly, it's moody. It changes the scene- kind of like you're in a movie. Think of it as a cozy blanket you're putting on at the end of the day. Maybe I'm grasping for straws here, but it is something that we have to deal with, so let's make the best of it!
2. It's almost Halloween, wear your black eyeliner!
I have always loved dressing up. As a kid, a teenager for spirit week at school, and now for basically just Halloween. To go along with October being the spooky month, let's change up our regular every day makeup routine. Add a little bit extra eyeliner. It's not clean girl summer anymore! It's cozy girl fall! And she wears a nice winged eyeliner.
3. Wear the black turtleneck.
To go along with #2, I say wear the black turtle neck! Wear all black. It's a classy look anyway, but in the fall, its magical. My black turtlenecks are probably my favorite article of clothing I own. I wish I could wear them year round. You can wear them with your hair up in a bun, or down, straight or curled. You can wear one with a skirt and boots (the ultimate combo) or with black pants, jeans, etc. A black turtle neck is so versatile. Plus, you can get a more fitted one, loose fitting one, or an oversized one to change the look all together.
4. Buy at least 1 pumpkin.
Go to the grocery store, buy a pumpkin, and set it somewhere outside your house or apartment so you see it every day when you leave or come home. This will make you smile every time you see it. You can carve it into something spooky, or just leave it alone, as is. They are the perfect fall decoration, easy and fairly cheap. If I could afford it, though, I would have bought 2 of every kind of pumpkin I saw at the pumpkin patch last month...
5. Get a little ghost mug.
Or any kind of Halloween themed mug! We have tons of skull mugs, pumpkin mugs, but the little ghost is definitely Halloween only for us. I know they sell them at Walmart and Target, and probably at HomeGoods too. Drinking a warm beverage out of the cute little Halloween mug makes it all seem intentional. It's celebrating without really doing anything. Simple and delicious! 👻
Well, that is all I have for today. I hope you're able to take something away from my list of ways to make an ordinary October day more magical! I truly love this time of year. It's dreamy, cozy, pumpkin spice flavored, and sets the stage for Christmas time! Enjoy it while it's here. Make the best of it, even if you're not a fan.
See you next time!
xoxo
