Things I ❤ for Fall that are Non Materialistic

Fall is my favorite season because it's just that perfect mix of warm and cool but not too cold as winter and neither too hot as summer. Moreover, what's not to like about fall colors, Halloween candy, Thanksgiving, and anticipating the winter holidays? 


Unfortunately, wherever I look at social media there is all this materialistic love for fall that is commercialized and sold as a dream filled with all the things you apparently need to own to enjoy the season. So I have decided to do a post to remind everyone that Fall is a wonderful season that offers many opportunities to enjoy life without being materialistic. Here are some things to love about fall that are not related to money or possessions:
  • The changing colors of the leaves and the crisp air that make nature more beautiful and refreshing.
  • The cozy feeling of wearing warm clothes, drinking hot beverages, and snuggling under blankets.
  • The festive mood of celebrating holidays like Halloween and Thanksgiving with family and friends.
  • The fun activities like carving pumpkins, baking pies, going on hay rides, and visiting corn mazes.
  • The gratitude for the harvest and the simple pleasures of life.
  • The smell of wood smoke and cinnamon in the air.
  • The opportunity to read a good book by the fireplace or watch a classic movie on the couch.
  • The excitement of dressing up in costumes and trick-or-treating on Halloween night.
  • The satisfaction of raking leaves into a pile and jumping into them.
  • The joy of giving thanks and sharing a delicious meal with loved ones on Thanksgiving day.
These are just some of the things that make Fall a special time of the year. I hope this list inspires you to appreciate the beauty and wonder of the season. What are some of the things that you love about Fall? Do you have a favorite activity or tradition? Let me know in the comments below.

    You have an exceptional and fabulous sense of fashion. I love the classic black leather gloves in winters which enhances the look. Sadly we don’t find many women here in india wearing these..

Top 12 Things to Buy from Kruidvat own Brand

 We've been seeing inflation here in the Netherlands since October last year. It's just plain ridiculous to see something that I paid 5 euros for a few months back is now around 7 euros or maybe more. That doesn't sound like a lot but when you buy about 50 things (food, groceries, toiletries, etc.) for your house, it all adds up and overall you are paying 50 to 100 euros more than what you were paying previously. But unfortunately, not a lot of us have seen this increase in our pay and many people have even lost jobs during and after the covid crisis. So it's only natural for us to want to save our money wherever we can. But that said we also do not want to compromise on quality. And that is where the idea for this post comes from. Kruidvat is a drugstore that is similar to CVS/Walgreens in the US. Products sold here are mostly hygiene products, cleaning supplies, makeup, and over-the-counter medicines. I have been shopping here for hygiene products for years. By now I

April 2012 Favorites and Regrets

I can't believe April has already come to an end. I can't say I'm sorry either because this means less rain, more blossoms, and summer in another month. So without further ado, I present to you this month's beauty and makeup favorites. For those I've reviewed I have linked them to the blog post. For the rest of them, I left short reviews of why I did or didn't like them. As you can see there are quite a few things I've been liking this month. The list of all things beauty I've been loving/using frequently are: (in left to right order) Aussie Instant Freeze Hair Spray Extreme Hold: This product is just wow. The windy city can be brutal to hair and this product is really a blessing. It's easy to use and smells great. It's not too expensive and comes in a huge bottle. Clairol Herbal Essences Hydralicious Reconditioning Conditioner Jergens Shea Butter Deep Conditioning Moisturizer: I first got introduced to this lotion when I was in India and

Some Recent Regret Buys

In my opinion, it's not ethical blogging if we're only featuring the good and not talking about some bad products because let's face it, there are a lot of crappy products out there. And when we're not talking about them we're withholding important information and we're not being fair to our readers. In fact, it means we're being fairer to brands. It's fine if people want to earn some money through brand deals but it's really not worth it to become a sell-out. Some might say why to bother writing about bad products, why not just let them be, but I want to put the word out there about bad products too because I want to help people like me save some money. Please note that when I say "bad products" it means "products that have not worked for me". However, these products might have worked very well for some others because each of us has different skin types and tolerance for products and it's totally OK. In the past few months,
