Fall Bucket List

HAPPY FALL Y’ALL

First and foremost, I have absolutely no shame in declaring and demonstrating my adoration for this time of year. Which definitely gets a bad rep. Still, it is my absolute fave and I wish this glorious sweater and booties weather could last all year round.

So time to let you inner basic bitty freak flag fly. Just do it. And get some inspo from my Fall Bucket List.. AKA a bunch of cliche but totally fun things imma bout to hardcore force my boyfriend into doing with me (Sorry Fran!!)

The Essentials:

• Apple orchard: pick apples, take a hay ride, eat apple cider donuts, wear a flannel. Bake shit with the apples.
• Pumpkin patch: Pick a pumpkin. Carve it. Or, get all Pinterest-y and paint it white and doodle on it with gold sharpies.
• Scary movie marathon. With bomb snacks.
• Go to a football game, tail gate, drink all the beer
• Go leaf peeping (I just recently learned this term, which literally means driving somewhere for the sole purpose of looking at leaves. I’m into it)
• Corn maaaaze
• Buy all the apple cider/pumpkin spice/white girl candles you can get your hands on and light them and just sit in a room and be like ahhh, fall.

Other Ideas:

• Halloween bar crawl (I did this last year, SO fun. I bet most major cities will have these)
• Paint bar (An instructor tells you what to paint, what colors to use, what brush etc… and you drink.)
• Color me Mine
• Wine tasting
• Go on a hike
• Go to the zoo
• Fall picnic
• See a play

Cooking: (All the soups, and all the pumpkin baked good plz)

Sweet:

• Healthy Pumpkin Spice Banana Oat Cookies
• Pumpkin Gingerbread Smoothie
