Once October hits, everything becomes orange, cosy, and a little spooky. October brings autumn in full swing. It's the season for coming down from the high of the summer, relaxing with a hot drink and baked goods, and celebrating everything that's hunted and scary.
The Annual Rewatch of Fall Movies and Shows
The first thing that comes to mind with the beginning of October is it's time to rewatch Gilmore Girls, for example, or it's time to make a Halloween movie list! For a cosy autumn show, Gilmore Girls and Anne with an E are the most recommended.
But if you're craving something on the spooky end of the spectrum, Stranger Things is the one to go with. If you're in the mood for something new, an underrated Over the Garden Wall is the perfect fit. As for Halloween movies, the list of horror films goes on forever, but classics like The Conjuring and The Ring have a special place on any Halloween movie list.
The Air Smells Like Herbs: Baking with Cinnamon and Tea
As soon as the calendar reads October 1st, every baked product becomes covered in cinnamon, especially cookies. This is the time of year to add spices to everything, even dessert. It can be a fun experience to bake while rewatching your favourite show. This recipe for cinnamon cookies is straightforward and beginner-friendly. However, if you're seeking something a bit more elevated, this recipe for chai cookies is one of the best available.
The Perfect Fall Weather: Out and About
With the weather improving, it's time to enjoy all the outdoor activities that summer is too hot for. For example, going to parks and being outside is challenging in the summer heat. Now it can be lovely to go on a walk in the morning, or go thrifting without the danger of heat stroke. For a more adventurous activity, hiking the Wadi Degla Reserve is a fantastic excursion.
Beverages Sponsored by October
What's better than a hot drink on a long walk? With October here, it's all about pumpkin spice lattes and pistachio everything. Second Cup offers Pumpkin Spice Latte and Pistachio Latte as part of their Fall Wonders collection. They're rich in flavour and make you feel October in full swing. If you prefer making your own drinks, a splash of liquid vanilla and a dash of cinnamon in your coffee goes a long way.
