Autumn is finally here and so is the smell of pumpkin spice latte, cosy movie nights, rainy days, and more cups of tea! It is easy to spot the beautiful crisp leaves falling on the ground in various, amazing colours. And like any other season, autumn has its beauties and not so adorable sides, however, this could be a great time to slow down and take some time for a quick holiday escape. In this month’s blog, we have put together Autumn’s Bucket List as well as the most interesting events happening this September in the city of Winchester.

  1. Go darker and try a red or darker nail colour and lipstick 💄💅
  2. Change your wardrobe and take out those knitted, warm, fluffy jumpers
  3. Go to a local food festival or visit a famous brewery to have🍻
  4. Treat yourself with hot chocolate and marshmallows ☕
  5. Binge-watch your favourite series, or just make a movie marathon… popcorns with extra butter, please 😊 🍿
  6. Travel to a new destination and learn a new skill – sewing, pottery, horse riding, you name it… 😇
  7. Learn to cook a new meal, perhaps an autumn taste, try something spicier if you are a fan of it 🌶
  8. Have a walk in the rain and perhaps act childish, just dance, and jump in a puddle 😝
