Autumn is the perfect time to focus on self-care and doing things that make you feel good. Whether it’s visiting a local market, baking your favourite fall treats, or carving pumpkins with friends, there are plenty of ways to embrace the season and enjoy all that it has to offer.
In this blog, we help you think of ways to make yourself feel good this autumn, as the nights grow colder and darker!
1. Have a Pamper Day
With the days getting shorter and colder, it can be tempting to spend more time indoors. Why not make yourself feel pampered and rejuvenated by treating yourself to a self-care day dedicated to rest and relaxation? Indulge in your favourite spa treatments, moisturise your skin, or take a long bath with your favourite candles.
Better yet, why not book a stay at our luxury hotel and spa and we’ll do it all for you?
2. Bake Some Seasonal Goods
Autumn is the perfect time to indulge in your favourite autumn treats, from pumpkin-spiced cupcakes and apple pies to warm ciders and spiced lattes. Not only do these seasonal goodies taste delicious, but they can also help you feel cosy and content as the weather gets colder. So, grab a baking recipe book and start whipping up your favourite autumn goodies!
3. Get into the Pumpkin Spirit
Pumpkins are synonymous with fall, and there are so many fun ways to enjoy them this season. Whether you’re carving jack-o’-lanterns, decorating your home, or simply roasting pumpkin seeds, there’s no shortage of fun and creative ways to get into the pumpkin spirit.
4. Visit Local Markets
The changing of the seasons also means that local markets are in full swing, filled with all sorts of artisanal goods and tasty treats. Why not take a trip to your local market this autumn and pick up some fresh fruits, locally made goodies, or handcrafted holiday gifts? Exploring these seasonal markets is a great way to get into the autumn spirit!
5. Take a Nature Walk
As the days grow shorter and the weather gets cooler, there’s no better time to get outside and enjoy all that nature has to offer. Whether you’re hiking through your local forest, going for a stroll in the park, or taking a scenic drive through the countryside, getting outside is a great way to feel refreshed and invigorated, even as the autumn air grows crisper. So, grab your favourite jacket, a cup of hot cocoa, and get outside this autumn!
6. Sit by the Fire in Your Cosy Garments
Whether you have a fireplace at home, visit a local cafe, or want to spend time staring at the flames at our manor’s very own fireplace, gazing at the fire and feeling the warmth on your face is an excellent way to feel good as the leaves are falling outside. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy the cosy autumn evenings!
7. Get Lost in a Good Book
Whether you enjoy reading a thriller that has you on the edge of your seat or your favourite self-help book for inspiration, curling up with a book can be an excellent way to make yourself feel good this autumn. So, grab your favourite blanket, a cup of tea or hot chocolate, and get lost in a good book!
8. Change up Your Wardrobe to Something More Fitting
As the days grow shorter and colder, change up your wardrobe to something more autumn appropriate. This could be anything from switching out your summer dresses for cosy sweaters, to trading in sandals for boots, or simply adding a warm scarf or beanie to your outfit. Whatever changes you decide to make, taking time to update your wardrobe is a great way to feel good this autumn.
9. Decorate or Rearrange Your Home
As the autumn season sets in, why not take some time to give your home a seasonal makeover? Whether you’re doing a total redecorate or simply rearranging things to suit your cosy autumn aesthetic, there are lots of fun ways that you can spruce up your home this season. So, get creative and transform your space into a cosy autumn.
10. Start Planning Christmas Gifts
