My Favorite Things of Fall

Fall has always been and probably always will be my favorite time of year. The leaves change color, the air gets crisp, and life just feels super warm and cozy! But it isn't just the weather that makes fall so wonderful. There are so many things that come with fall that just add so much enjoyment to life. So here are a few of my favorite things that come along with this wonderful time of  year!

Along with fall always comes my birthday! This year I turned 22 (insert Taylor Swift lyrics here). My roommates are super awesome and made me breakfast and bought me doughnuts before I had to go to class in the morning. I also went to Park City with my family to ride the Alpine Slide. If you haven't done it I highly recommend it! Especially in the fall! You get to see all the leaves changing, the weather is super nice, and smell of Autumn is wonderful.

Being a student in the fall is super fun! Sure...it means that classes start again and you have to start and you have to start studying. But it also brings a ton of fun! You get to make new friends, see old ones, and start making fun new memories. One of my favorite things are the free concerts on campus. You get to go rock out to amazing local bands and often times famous bands and forget about that essay that is due at midnight....haha! My favorite band from Utah is Foreign Figures. You should definitely check out their website and listen to their amazing songs! 

Caramel apples are always perfect for fall. My favorite is the pumpkin pie apple from Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. If you haven't had one you should go get one after you finish reading this post!! They are simply too good to not have.

And of course...you can't forget college football! There is nothing like going to a game, eating football food, and losing your voice from yelling at the referees.

Autumn Candles

September is in full swing and with that means Autumn is finally here! Autumn is definitely my most favorite time of the year. It means sweaters, leaves changing colors, hot chocolate, cozy nights by the fire and..... Bath & Body Works Candles! Sure, they have candles all year round, but my favorite scents are always the ones in their Fall line.

Their three wick candles are fabulous and burn pretty nicely and equally. But if you are like me and have a very small budget (#CollegeProblems) you can't afford to spend $22 on a candle. So I bought the mini candles for only $4.50 each!  They work just as good. 

My favorite scents would have to be Autumn and Leaves. They are simply how I would describe the aura of Fall. Leaves has a little more spicy scent to it than Autumn but is just as good! The other scents that I purchased were Sweater Weather and Pumpkin Apple. You can't have Fall without sweaters, pumpkins and apples. 

The reason I love these candles is because they can make a room feel warm and welcoming as the weather is getting colder. I like to snuggle up with a book and just the the Autumn smells fill up my room and bring in happy vibes. Pair it with a hot mug of hot chocolate and I won't be moving for the next couple of hours.

Honestly...if I could afford it I would have bought all of the scents that are in their Fall line. They are all just that good!

A Pirate's Life For Me

This past weekend I had a super fun chance to go sailing for the first time. My friend Kyle invited me to go to Utah Lake and try our hand at sailing our own boat. I was super excited when we were the ones who ended up with the pirate sail. I just wanted to sing "Hoist the Colors" all day long.

We got to go sailing by contacting this guy names Jim Daniels. He owns the boats and rents them out for a really cheap price. There are always 2 people to a boat and he lets you go out and just figure it out. It was super fun! The only bad thing was that we kept getting stuck in the mud and would have to paddle our way back into the deeper waters. But it really was one of the funnest things I have done in a really long time.

If you are interested in going sailing you can contact Jim by email or phone at:

Cell/Text 801-636-1803

You can have 4-40 people in a group for sailing. 

He also gives you a really good spiritual thought about sailing and the gospel. It is super cool. He is so nice and super awesome! I would totally recommend going if you have a few hours on a Saturday morning or something!

What things do you like to do at the lake?
