Autumn is here!

I love the change of seasons! Whilst there’s always a sense of sadness as our favorite parts of the last season fade away, there’s also excitement as we get to experience and try new things that come with the change.

The seasons keep us on our toes, give us something to look forward too, and help us change up our habits every now and then!!

Going from Summer to Autumn is always a big one for a number of reasons:

The fashion changes – out with the scruffy denim short shorts and in with the warm Autumn colours and scarves; and boy do I love scarves!! Scarves can take a boring outfit and really give it an edge. At the moment I’m into mixing neutral coloured outfits, with bright and bold scarves, finding balance between simplicity and vibrant colour.

The food changes – No more light salads for lunch at work, I’m already taking my cans of soup to work; there’s nothing better than a warm lunch on a chilly day. Fejoas are also in season in New Zealand which makes for yummy fejoa and apple crumbles for dessert, mmm.

The mornings are lighter – As daylight savings has just changed we wake up an hour earlier and I’m keen to keep this routine up. It means I feel far more refreshed and energized as I wake up without my alarm, and can turn it off well before it’s due to ring in my ear!

Getting stuck into the gym – After a great Summer playing outdoors, making the most of the weather, and using it as an excuse for not going to the gym… it’s time to refocus and get stuck into some good workouts. I’m looking forward to getting into the routine of going to they gym before work, especially with all this extra morning light.

Time to embrace Autumn!
