People pick up on certain harbingers of the cozy season that make them comfortable and ready for the colder days. Certain things would certainly boost that feel of autumn – make your home ready! Rummage out some favorite decorative and comfortable items that invite you to sit comfortably and wait for the temperatures to drop while enjoying every minute of the change in weather!

Fairy Lights Warm the Soul

We’ve all seen those gorgeous fairy lights in movies and home decor magazines. There’s something about those tiny little lights that scream ‘fall,’ and people have been head-over-heels for them for ages. What could be better to welcome the chillier season than to turn on those little lights and bask in their subtle, warm glow? You sit on the couch and watch the falling leaves while the warm orange glow from the tiny lights encompasses the room and warms your face most subtly – that’s seasonal perfection!

Warmth From a Countertop Lamp

Most people think of counter or table lamps as an ideal method for lighting the home, but they could have another feature as well. They could be decorative and create a wonderfully warm atmosphere in the room. Take out those cute lamps you’ve been keeping in storage and put them on your counters and tables. When the evening comes, turn them on and watch as they light up the room with warmth and a fabulous glow!

Engaging Books for Fall

There are certain books people enjoy at certain times during the summer, spring, or winter. And then, there are those books that fit perfectly well with the fall season. Many people prefer crime mysteries or romance novels to warm their souls as the temperatures outside are dropping every day. If you don’t have any appropriate novels to match the season, go out and get some fan favorites to nest on your table, and make them ready to sink your teeth into!

Cool Covers to Keep Warm

It might seem like an oxymoron – a cool cover that’ll keep you warm, but it’s definitely something to look into. Even though the fall brings on chillier temperatures, it’s still important not to smother yourself with the hottest covers and sheets. You have to keep a balanced temperature for your body – choose covers that are cooling but cozy enough to snuggle into. No matter the season, it’s essential to keep your body cool or warm enough to feel comfortable, and choosing the appropriate covers for the job is vital.

Marvel at Scented Candles

There are so many kinds of scented candles to search through until you find the one that warms your soul during the cooler months. And you can take it a step further – have beautiful match cloches right by your candles, not only for practical reasons but to enhance that warm appearance. They’re a great decorative feature along with your candles – you’ll create a feast for the eyes and the sense of smell!

There’s so much an individual can do to enhance the feeling of fall in their home – magnificent decorative components or blankets warm enough to keep a person cozy and balanced. Sink into the cool season with a good warm drink and a favorite book to warm the soul and your eyes. Don’t let the falling temperatures get you down. Do what you can to make your home cozy, delightful, comfortable, and perfect for the season of pumpkins and falling leaves.

There’s a widely accepted belief that celebrities live the high life 24/7. With fame, however, comes great scrutiny, and that holds especially true when it comes to body image. Celebrities are expected to perform at their finest and look their best each time, all the time. But that’s not how it works in real life, and when the paparazzi recently took pictures of Camila Cabello on the beach in Miami, the “Havana” singer was quick to share her thoughts on the topic of body shaming.

An Emotional Message From Camila Cabello

The singer has long been an advocate for women’s empowerment and changing the stigma surrounding body image. Her recent statement on Twitter only reinforced her efforts. Cabello was upfront about knowing there would be paparazzi at the beach when she went there, and she purposefully decided to dress up in a cut-out bikini. Her goal was simple — don’t let the haters make her question how she sees herself and how she carries her body.

Every time she’d feel “vulnerable and unprepared,” she’d wear a tight bikini and completely ignore the paparazzi. She’d then see the pictures online and get “so upset.” But she tries to constantly remind herself that she’s her own person and refuses to follow a culture that has a completely unrealistic idea of what a healthy woman’s body looks like.

What Is “Healthy” Really?

Knowing there would be paparazzi at the beach, Cabello shared that she went prepared — she hardly ate anything the whole day, put on a “cute outfit,” some lip gloss… and had the worst time of her life. Trying to keep her core abs tight the whole time so she looked good in photos and barely smiled – the singer realized she’d had enough.

Just because “we see pictures of women and praise them for looking good” or healthy, it doesn’t mean their mental health is stable. In her tweet (paired with a selfie of her at the pool), Cabello questioned society’s version of what it means to be healthy, especially when you are so fixated on what your body looks like instead of enjoying your time and your life. Fortunately for her fans, Camila Cabello is trying to do the latter!
