Fall is not my thing. That said, my motto is: accept and proceed; buy hand warmers and adapt.

A few people have asked what’s on my Fall must-do list and I’m quick to say nothing because I am still mourning Summer but my friend Sophie requested we try and make the most of the season. And try I shall. Here’s her list which I am going to work through… even the pumpkin stuff.

Sophie’s Fall Bucket List

1. Drink a Fall Seasonal Drink (unironically)
2. Wear a tartan skirt with a turtleneck
3. Watch the sunrise
4. Hike in the Adirondacks = Hike
5. Go apple picking
6. Wear a beret
7. Watch Meghan’s must-see movies: Dirty Dancing and Pump Up the Volume (This is basically me threatening Sophie – I can’t believe she hasn’t watched Dirty Dancing!)
8. Make butter tarts
9. Create a Halloween costume
10. Walk in Central Park while the leaves are changing = Any park will do
11. Drink mulled wine or a hot apple cider (like an actual one, not powder)
12. Weekly fall manicure = I am aiming for 1 fall manicure
13. Drink 2L of water per day (that’s a lot!)
14. Write letters
15. Wear stylish outfits for one week straight
16. Cook egg-bites (or go to Starbucks)
17. Go to a trivia night with friends
18. Build a cornucopia
19. Visit with an old friend
20. Go to high tea = or just tea, we don’t need to be fancy.
21. Visit a museum exhibit
22. Stroll ALL of Mount-Royal = stroll around the neighbourhood, visit stores I pass by and never go in.
23. Cook and eat Coddled Eggs
24. Stoke a fire
