Fall is my favorite season – obviously. 🍁🎃😉
It has been a beautiful fall but there is something about the season that makes me a bit melancholic. I want to stay home and get cosy.
The first thing I love is this short music playlist. These are like some emotional support songs! I love great lyrics, a folksy/pop vibe and … melancholy.
The second thing I love is this oversized denim jacket I just bought. I got it in a large so I can wear a hoodie under it.
The third thing I love this month is this delicious black bean soup. The secret is caramelized onions! Thanks to Vishali Varga for this recipe.
