50 Self Care Ideas For Autumn

Autumn is one of my fav times of year. The leaves start to change color and the air a little bit crisper. Self-care is something we should be practising year-round but in fall and with the change of seasons it is definitely important.

There is no better way to lift your mood than taking care of yourself and getting cozy when the summer social activities have drawn to an end.

Sometimes though, the dark, cold days and nights can leave us feeling a little deflated. The sun can be our friend and with winter on our doorstep and the days getting darker, we must work on taking care of ourselves.
