Hello friends! Today I bring you a chatty fall recommendations bucket list video where I share fall books, activities & crafts that I will be reading, crafting and doing this fall season! I absolutely love videos like these because I love getting new ideas of things to do seasonally! I believe that living seasonally is a great way to romanticize our lives and really get the best out of each season. I live for moments like this where I give myself the space to be able to do all the things that make me feel hopeful and magical through the seasons! Let me know down below what is part of your fall bucket list, I would love to know! xx Kim Please help me reach my goal of reaching 5,000 subscribers this year by engaging with my videos & subscribing! I would really appreciate it! 🫶 🌿TIME STAMPS🌿 00:00 Introduction 03:37 Crafts for the Fall 08:56 Activities for the Fall 15:57 Books for the Fall 24:28 Outro

I live in the Midwest, in a small town in Iowa. There is a local farm I visit every fall. They have an antique shop, hay rack ride, haunted barn, petting zoo, and of course pumpkins! I also make sure to buy from a local family, they do an “honor system,” pick your pumpkins from their truck and leave the money in a lock box they leave on the truck. Another favorite thing for me to do every fall is walk through the trails as much as possible, here the trees turn beautiful red, orange and yellow colors. I love to collect fall foliage for my alter! 🍁 🎃

Where you live sounds absolutely amazing! A haunted barn?! 🕸️ oh my, yes please! Never been to one before or one being set as one. I also love visiting my local farms. There’s one near me called The Three Nunns, ran by the cutest family! and they seasonal donuts + hand poured candles and tractor rides. It’s always so much fun to go! Will have to take you guys along this year for sure! 🍂🚜🎃

Very sweet video. I encourage folks to think about the gifts of the seasons. To start this conversation everyone has a fav season. Listing your seasons (with an explanation why) helps focus appreciation. I'm a Autumn, Winter, Spring, Summer woman.

I love that! I agree that focusing on what we appreciate if the season, allows us to focus on that which we are grateful for and not feel discouraged by the season but rather feel uplifted by it. 🫶🏼🍂 thank you for sharing that point of view with us! 🥰

Thanks for this. I created a summer vision board and it was so nice! I’m going to create a fall vision board as well. My vision board is more like a visual bucket list than a traditional “vision” board.

Oh wow, your new animated illustrations are beautiful and fit the fall/spooky/dark academia vibe perfectly! and your color coordinated bookshelf background, hair and nails look so good! 🦇🖤 I will definitely try the wire spider web idea too! Thank you for your recommendations. I added Her body and other parties, Paola Santiago and the river of tears, and Ravenfall to my TBR 🕸️ Every year when Mike Flanagan's new series comes out on Netflix, my sister, her husband and I watch the entire series on a Saturday in October, it's always great fun 🍂👻

I’m definitely trying it out this fall season and scattering them on my bookshelves 🕷️ Glad to hear you added some books to your spooky TBR! You added some of my favs from these recs!

Your idea to romanticise each season a little is absolutely wonderful! I'll definitely check out your other videos on that! Maybe at one point you could do a winter themed video like this? Not a Christmas one, a winter-after-Christmas one maybe? Because there seem to be many ideas right up until Christmas, but once that's over I tend to fall into a bit of a hole... So a winter one would be very interesting!

Hello! 🤗 I am so glad to hear that the idea of romanticizing our lives is something that you connect to. I know how hard it can be to do these gestures for ourselves especially during the winter season as it tends to be a season where we can often fall under season depression or even the holidays can take a toll on us. I would absolutely be more than happy to share a video on how to romanticize our lives during the winter season! Thank you for the idea and for suggesting that! Sending you so much love! 🫶🏼☺️

Love that Harry Potter puzzle. It's beautiful. You remind me that I need to watch the movies again. It's been awhile. Sadly, I have to drive a couple of hours in order to see changing leaves, because I live in the desert. I miss having autumn.

I love watching the movies yearly. It’s so nostalgic. I want to re-read the books soon too. The movies are so beautifully made and the vibes are just amazing! 🍂🕷️🧹 With the sad reality of climate change, and autumns being pushed further and further out, I like to remind myself that autumn is a vibe we can embody, a state of mind. I rely on moody and fall ambiance videos on YT and they usually do the trick in making me feel like the spirit of autumn is truly here despite the weather not matching 😅🍂

@@itskimberlyrodriguez I'm really not much of a horror reader, but the book intrigued me. I prefer gothic style or cozy horror (which to me, gothic falls under as well). I've branched out a little bit, but I really can't usually handle most horror, so it was quite a bit for me. 🤣

Hi! This is a great question! I would be more than happy to talk about this more in depth in a future video. But I was published “traditionally.” My publisher is Spirit Bound Press who’s an indie publisher. They were the ones that took care of distribution. I’m believe you can still get your book into B&N but I’m unsure of the process. Wish I could be more of help regarding this. Best of luck with your book! 🫶🏼📖
