A Checklist for Fall Décor

Today is the official first day of fall!! That means it is time to bring the warmth back into our homes and use autumn accents to decorate. I have put together a checklist on how to bring in the new season by sprucing up your home. What will you be adding to your home this fall?

1. Announce your address in style by cleverly etching your house number (or your initials or name) into a pumpkin.

2. Create an eye-catching fall centerpiece with candles, succulents and fresh flowers.

3. Keep it simple with an elegant display of white, or ghost, pumpkins. For visual interest, stagger the heights by using stacks of old books or vintage scales as pedestals.

4. Show off bittersweet berries in gold, green and clear bottles on a windowsill or shelf. Tiny gourds between the bottles add another shape to the seasonal mix.

5. For a quick and easy approach, group your favorite tiny pumpkins on a side table, and let the collection speak for itself. There is no right or wrong way to create this display. This arrangement looks unintentional, adding a carefree, casual seasonal touch.

To Do: A Checklist for Your 20’s

I recently stumbled across a great article by Meredith Lepore on Levo League that listed 12 things that every young woman should do in her 20’s. As a 20-something young woman this checklist resonated with me because I started to realize how important my 20’s actually are and all the possibilities there are for me out in the world. Along with some of the items that Meredith has on her checklist, I have added some of my own. So, here are my 20 things to do in your 20’s.

1. Travel to another continent.
2. Live by yourself.
3. Find your career.
4. Figure out a life hobby.
5. Forgive yourself and others for mistakes.
6. Distance yourself from drama. 
7. Keep a journal.
8. Fall in love.
9. Spend quality time with your parents.
10. Practice makeupless Sundays.
11. Drink green juice and eat healthy.
12. Get a pet.
13. Take a huge risk.
14. Change your hair drastically.
15. Leave your phone at home for a day.
16. Buy something ridiculously expensive.
17. Make unforgettable memories. 
18. Follow your dreams.
19. Give back.
20. Enjoy your life.

If you had to come up with a checklist for your 20’s, what would you add? Thanks for reading!
