HOW TO ENJOY AUTUMN TO THE FULLEST! Festive Activities to do this Fall + DIY Home Decorating Ideas

[Music] so [Music] yo welcome back to my channel my name is catherine and this is justine catherine and on this channel i share easy diys home to kona budget and every now and then i love to share encouraging messages and this video is going to be a very cozy and laid back fall dana life with me i seem to be loving these lifestyle videos and people take you into their life and showing you how they’re enjoying the fall season i have taken into consideration that life is very short and you just never know what’s going to happen so i’ve been spending most days being as intentional as possible with my time if you follow me on my instagram i have a bucket list a fall bucket list a lot of things that i always wanted to try but i just never got around to because i’m always so busy and i didn’t want that to be an excuse because i realized that i cannot control what happens in this world but i can control just a little bit what happens indoors in our home early mornings are my favorite although sometimes it’s really hard to get out of a warm bed but it does encourage me just to slow down and let my mind relax from all of the noise i’ve been really enjoying making breakfast now that we have a pumpkin shaped waffle maker y’all we had breakfast for dinner last night that was also in my bucket list so i have leftover batter that i’ll be [Music] using [Music] something so simple as pumpkin shaped waffles and then adding chocolate chips takes it up a notch and really gets you into the festive season have you ever woke up and your mind is racing with things that you just have to get done and you haven’t been up for no more than five minutes i found that cooking forces me to wait because you can’t rush the food and it’s calming it’s like taking that walk or working out before starting your day [Music] sometimes it can wait understand that everybody’s situation is different but maybe finding that medium before starting your day texas hasn’t quite got the memo that is fall yet but i try to incorporate little things like wearing a moth cardigan with a basic white tee and shorts growing up in chicago the leaves changing season was something i took for granted i honestly thought the leaves change everywhere around the world so even if i find a glimpse of colorful leaves in texas it’s all right with me okay y’all so i am about to try my very first pumpkin ice drink fall will look differently this year but to make the most out of it try something new you haven’t done before pick up fresh flowers visit a local pumpkin patch even if it’s at your grocery store because everything is big in texas have you ever wondered why there are so many colors sizes and styles of pumpkins did you know that pumpkins are fruits and not vegetables think about what makes your soul happy [Music] your sense of smell is linked with your memory and the smell of cinnamon and apple is so soothing and will put anybody in a cozy mood to create a fall stovetop simmer you will need one apple two cloves now i never heard or used the spice before but it smelled like a strong spice and then two cinnamon sticks bring your water to a boil and let it simmer y’all just wait for your home to be filled with sweetness and warmth [Music] stars actually smell it it only has been like 10 minutes it reminds me of a warm apple crisp with ice cream in life we’re so accustomed to doing the same things over and i love making memories and creating new traditions for our family so apple crisp would definitely be one of the new traditions i’ve made it twice already this simmer that’s on the stove reminds me so much of it without going through the process of baking and today it’s actually raining outside so it’s like the perfect autumn day we are gonna i’m gonna go and decorate and i’m excited about this park i have some fun things to show y’all so i’m gonna be using a lot of the same items from years prior i have added two to three new items such as this beautiful decorative pillow with the different textured leaves it’s a nice muted orange not too loud for our taste this pie garland has got to be one of my favorite purchases by far this season i mean look how cute this packaging is is replicating a pie in a box and the added touch of whipped cream just took me out y’all to make our home feel truly like fall we’re adding two real pumpkins moving on to my older decor i have a ceramic pumpkin one of my favorite fall phrases a candy jar from target’s bullet playground two medium sized textured faux pumpkins and i don’t know the name of these faux plants but i like how they look so we’re first going to be decorating our tv console in our living room makeover video i had already set the foundation for a super cozy ambience by adding a lot of texture and a lot of autumn colors so i’ll be making very small changes to our console just by adding a few fall decor pieces still want more of the traditional color but minimal i’m just going to actually just take the leaves off of this [Music] separate the pumpkin from it and just go the stem [Music] i’m going to use the end of the ropes and the gaps in the doors to tuck the rope in i think this is supposed to be pumpkin because i really ever seen anybody make anything for sweet potato pie but in this house we love sweet potato pie so this is officially gonna be a sweet potato pie garland [Music] i actually have a lot of faux leaves and i wanted to incorporate them somewhere and i thought it would be really cute to put them inside our lanterns just letting it fall where it made very simple concept instant ball decor make small changes to your home this fall by swapping out basic decor for themed or color related decor use what you already have or if it’s in your budget treat yourself to something new but take the pressure off your style is unique to you so finding pieces that you truly love is more impactful and meaningful [Music] we are going to wind down for the day and i love to slip into something super comfortable sometimes i wear my fluffy house shoes or in this case my super warm socks while walking on a hardwood floor my husband and i have been loving homemade popcorn if you have never tried it try it it’s such a simple recipe that allows you to control how much butter and seasoning you want to add to your popcorn all you need is some olive oil kernels butter and salt let your oil heat up and add three curdles and once those pop add the rest of the kernels and this is my favorite part it’s still popping man we got to put the shield back on [Music] and i love using rash dress and seasoning and a little bit of paprika or tahini and y’all this is such a flavorful popcorn recipe oh my gosh it’s so good we love popcorn in this house this one pot is not gonna be enough we actually gonna make another pot but this recipe is amazing it takes it up like 10 notches y’all as we’re preparing to watch a movie these type of nights we absolutely love we just go all out we’re like little kids all over again and since we have the savory mix we’re gonna be baking the pillsbury halloween sugar cookies y’all these have become a staple this season too they’re so so good while the cookies are baking i’m making a cozy fort bringing in layers of blankets turn on our flameless candles and watching the classic but super hilarious movie clue if you have not seen this you have to there are multiple endings and you are able to choose if you have the dvd i believe you’re able to choose how it’s going to end so every time it’s different but i have seen this movie so many times that it never fails it’s such a great movie to watch with your family [Music] sometimes after watching a movie my mind is so alert and awake i try to wind down mentally by reading a book [Music] i’m currently reading in the dark dark wood and i’m a chapter four i love rude wear i fell in love with the woman and cabin team which is one of the three books that i want to share with y’all today if you want like a fall book slash like mystery thriller woman in cabin 10 is so crazy i read this book so fast i will say that it does start off slow but it picks up and then it’s like a whodunit and your flipping page is just trying to like put all the pieces together and the ending is you don’t see it coming let’s just say that turn of the key this one is supposed to be a very spooky one um i don’t personally like very eerie movies or type of books but i feel like this one is acceptable and then of course i’m currently reading in a dark dark wood which i heard so many good things about this book um so i’m excited about it it’s also starting off slow if i can be honest but i’m sure it’s gonna pick up just like the rest of her books but you can tell that i really love rude’s rare because all of her books are good i really want the lion game and the death of mr west wire or wes meyer i don’t even remember the name but i’ll leave the book right here i will let you all know how this turns out but if you read this book don’t spoil it down in the comments but just let me know your thoughts on it [Music] so that’s it for this video i hope you all felt all of the coziness and was inspired to try something new this fall i will link those books down below along with everything else that i can possibly link in this video and as always i will talk to you all later [Music] you
