It is not hard to love the fall season—some could say that it is autumn-atic! It is the time of the year where Instagram feeds are blasted with autumn hues, pumpkins have occupied every possible public space, and oversized knit sweaters are not only in fashion, but highly encouraged. However, fall can be the worst season ever for some. Fall
means that there will be no more bikini days at the beach or enjoying cold ice cream on a hot summer day. Well, it is time to turn that frown upside-down. Since there are only three weeks left of fall, here are some tips to help everyone take advantage of the rest of
the season.

Tip #1: Buy a pumpkin spiced latte. Pop into a local Starbucks and order one of these bad boys. Sure, it might not taste great, but skipping out on this drink is as
unfathomable as hating Christmas music. It just does not happen.

Tip #2: Cinnamon, spice, and everything nice. Next to pumpkin-spiced-anything, cinnamon and nutmeg are incredibly popular during this time of the year. Use them to spice up any dish or baked good. Remember, the correct way to go about this is by using as much as the recipe calls for. There is no need for an accidental reboot of the cinnamon challenge.

Tip #3: Jump in some rain puddles. Even though it is California, there are bound to be some days where the sky just does not want to stop crying. Prepare for those special moments by grabbing
a pair of stylish rain boots to leap into those puddles with reckless abandon. Who says
puddle-jumping is just for kids?

Tip #4: Get a jumpstart on Christmas. The last day of fall is Dec. 21, so go ahead and whip out those dusty old Christmas decorations for the best time of the year. Spare any unnecessary stress and go Christmas shopping sooner rather than later. The weather may be cold, but the season’s deals are going to be hot. Follow these tips and everyone will be sure to fall in love with fall in no time. Accept it. Embrace it. Be-leaf in it. Pun intended.
