Roxanne here! Fall has arrived and I'm super excited. Yes, it's my favorite fashion season for knitwear and ankle boots, but also for the return of hot beverages and cozy evenings.
I'm sharing my top 10 favorite local products that will help you fully enjoy autumn. As a bonus, I'm also giving you some tips to help you get over summer more easily.
1 - The MINI TIPI all-purpose blanket
You'll fall in love with their various autumnal patterns. They are super warm, in addition to being fashionable in every room of the house. We particularly love their choice of patterns and fabrics, which are guided by their Quebec and Indigenous heritage.
2 - The heated shoulder pad from Amma Thérapie
What could be better for relaxing than unwinding your upper body? Our shoulders are used all day long, and we often tend to neglect them. Instant relief as soon as you place the cushion on you, whether used cold or hot. Cozy done right!
3 - The wool socks from Chandail de loup
The cold is setting in, so warm up instantly with these wool socks. Made from a blend of sheep's wool and merino wool, they are soft, warm, and durable. Oh, and they look adorable when they peek out a little from the top of an ankle boot... A favorite year after year.
4 - The three-wick candle from 4Elements
A candle, of course! Autumn evenings are not the same without a good-smelling candle! A home with a warm ambiance for our autumn dinners or cozy sofa evenings.
5 - The SÜK hot chocolate
Young and old, we are always happy and nostalgic with a good hot chocolate. By the fire or after a short walk, it's a must.
6 - Chocolate fondue from Chocolats favoris
Yes, fondues are good all year round, but having a Chinese fondue followed by a chocolate fondue when the night is cool is hard to beat. I'm already dreaming of it for my next girls' night...
7 - The bath bombs from Savonnerie Saponaria
Baths!!! For us, baths quickly take a back seat when summer arrives, so I take advantage of them a little (a lot) when the cold starts to show up. We choose the bomb that tempts us and voilà, a perfect bath. We particularly like these for their rich scent, enveloping texture, and lasting effect.
8 - The hand cream from La belle excuse
Dry hands in colder weather... oh no! Rich and velvety, it will restore any skin in need of hydration, leaving it pleasantly satiny.
9 - The Mélia room spray from Miels d'Anicet
Cozinessss in the house, yes please! A few sprays around the house become essential during the cool season. Guaranteed compliments from visitors ;)
10 - The candy bag from C’est bonbons
Cozy evening means plenty of treats! Always fresh, these bags of candy are the perfect treat to accompany movie nights. You've been warned, you'll finish the bag pretty quickly, and the kids won't be to blame this time :P
My personal tips for fully enjoying the colorful season
I thought I'd share a short list of activities and good habits to incorporate into your weekly routine to fully enjoy autumn and make it your new favorite season:
- Going out for a lunch break when the sun is shining, yes!
- Taking a vitamin D supplement is also a big plus
- Going for a hike to see the beautiful colors
- Renting a cabin and making a fire
- Visiting a local farm for pumpkin and squash picking
- Planning a cooking day, with the windows open
What more could you ask for? Your spirits will be high, I guarantee it!
