The post that explains my love for Autumn

So, the change of seasons is officially here now that Starbucks has launched the Autumn menu. Although, I'm still praying for them to make a pumpkin spice hot chocolate for us non-coffee drinkers. I just  wanted to do a little "Autumn appreciation post" to share with you my love of Autumn.

Now there are a few bits I don't like - increased rain and colder weather. But that aside, there is a lot to love about Autumn... Cosy dark evenings in a blanket watching all the new telly - X factor, Scott & Bailey and there's always Netflix. The fact that having multiple mugs of hot chocolate, in a day, becomes acceptable. I get really into all the Autumn colours - burnt orange, plum and all of the leafy colours. I've even dyed my hair a kind of Autumnal auburn-y shade. I know I put colder weather on the negative side but it is also a pro because you can showcase your new jumpers and trial run the new coat. I always change my make up as well. Brighter lips, browner eyes, rosier cheeks - very different from my summer face. 

I guess I'm just one of those people that really embraces Autumn - maybe it's to help me deal with the fact that it's not summer any more. Or maybe it's just because I'm perfectly happy staying inside ,baking cupcakes and reading, on a rainy Sunday afternoon.
