Fall Comforts

Sorry for being radio silent for the last couple of weeks.  Life got crazy and now I'm finally back in action!  I am so happy that fall is finally here!  It's my favorite time of year and I have already found myself appreciating the comforts that come with this season, so I thought I'd share a few of my favorites with you.  

First of all, I love tea all year long, but now is the time of year when I can't get enough.  I already had a huge tea collection thanks to all of my trips to Celestial Seasonings in Boulder and I have recently expanded my choices to include some Tazo chai teas as well.  Here's a look at my jam-packed tea cupboard (yes, I have an entire cupboard dedicated to just tea)!  And further down is a picture of my favorite London mug and cute tea pot along with my new seasonal teas:

• Celestial Seasonings Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride
• Celestial Seasonings Sweet Harvest Pumpkin
• Tazo Chai in Chocolate (my current favorite)
• Tazo Chai in Pumpkin Spice
• Tazo Chai in Vanilla Caramel

In addition to tea, some of my other favorite fall comforts include candles, bubble baths, and fires in the fireplace.  I'm entirely too lazy to build a real fire in my fireplace, so instead I put on a Netflix favorite called Fireplace For Your Home.  It's a nice way to get the sights and sounds of a real fire without having the hassle and mess that comes along with a real one.  

If I really want to mellow out in the evening I will take a candlelit bubble bath.  Right now my favorite product to add to the bathtub is Philosophy's Peppermint Stick scent.  I've seen it in stores during this time of year before but had never actually smelled it.  I finally checked it out when I was at Ulta the other day and had to get it!  

Now is also the time of year when Bath & Body Works seems to constantly have their 3-wick candles on sale at 2 for $22, so I have been stocking up.  My all-time favorite is Marshmallow Fireside and I love burning it in my new leaf candle holder that I just got.  It makes the glow of the candle even cheerier.  I stacked up my store of candles in my closet because I was running out of room to keep them.  It definitely makes my closet smell good!

And that's it for my favorite fall comforts!  What are some of your favorite ways to celebrate this time of year?

I am hoping to have a new post for you tomorrow so I can show you my purchases from Sephora and Lush.  The 20% off VIB sales starts tomorrow at Sephora, so I'm already strategizing on all the things I want to get while I'm there.  It helps that they sent a catalog with some amazing ideas, so I think I've got a long enough list already!  I've also been inspired by some recent October favorite videos on YouTube to go to Lush and get some of their holiday bath bombs, so I'll hopefully have some of those to share as well!
