The first official week of fall is here—so yes, it’s finally socially acceptable that stores have had Halloween stuff out for weeks now. 😏

A new ranking just dropped of the “Best Things About Fall” and the top spot isn’t surprising:
🍁 Autumn leaves. (Notice that raking them didn’t make the list.)

Coming in close behind:
✨ Crisp air
✨ Comfy clothes (bring on the hoodies and leggings)
✨ Cozy fires & hot chocolate
✨ Halloween (of course!)
