Own Your Space: Falling for Yourself
By Isabella Alouane, NYU Student
It is finally our favorite time of the year, Fall.
From the touch of the chilly weather on our skin, while wrapped in soft, cozy sweaters to the taste of warm apple and pumpkin-spiced beverages to the smell of baked pies, we are here for Autumn. We can’t forget the sight of beautiful leaves changing from bright green to red, orange, and yellow hues and the sound of them crunchy under our feet during our daily commutes. Fall into your senses and indulge this season – Fall for yourself.
As you increase your awareness of all of the sensory experiences Fall brings you, we’re sharing a few of our favorite things to take your sensory experiences even further this season.
- Smell: While the smell of Fall is in the air, there’s a sense of comfort when bringing that into your own space – a candle never fails to make that happen. We love the Toasted Pumpkin Minimalist Candle from Brooklyn Candle Studio! Not only is it visually stunning, but their candles are made eco-friendly and smell phenomenal. Perfect for making you fall in love with your space.
- Touch: As mentioned, one of the best parts of Fall is wearing soft sweaters, so we’re pulling our Feat sweatshirt. It is incredibly comfortable and soft, making it feel like a blanket or cuddly hug! After we cuddle into our sweats, we love the Pumpkin Enzyme Mask from Peter Tomas Roth for a bit of extra pampering. It leaves your skin feeling so smooth, and it’s a bonus that it smells like pumpkin! A perfect end to a fall night!
- Sight: When the weather brings the rain, it won’t stop us from enjoying the season. Ever since we got the Blunt Umbrella, we’ve been loving going out in the rain. It’s perfect for big cities, fits in a tote, looks stunning, and will last a very long time with its innovative design!
- Sound: As much as we love the sound of leaves crunching under our feet, this is also a great time to create the perfect playlist. Consider how different songs and music genres make you feel and use that awareness to shape the exact mood you desire. We have playlists for everything from self-care to walking through the city to cleaning. If we’re on the move, we use our Know Headphones, or if we want to fill the entire space with sound or enjoy with friends, we turn to our Sonos Roam Portable Speaker. Sonos completely transforms your room and the experience of listening to your favorite song.
- Taste: The infamous pumpkin spice latte, while it may be considered the most basic fall drink, there is no shame in loving it! Not only is it super easy to make at home but even more effortless with the Jot Ultra Coffee! It’s the perfect way to take a step back in the mornings and enjoy the simple task of making a great-tasting coffee!
Enjoy the weather, the comfort of the warm colors, and the fantastic taste and smells. Fall into the season to feel better from the inside out!
