"25 things we do in the fall"

[Deleted User] · September 2014

I saw this on my FB feed and thought it was hilarious, because I fit the majority of it! I don't like that it says "white girls do this", but whatever, just ignore that part because it's dumb.

LINK

I do:
#1 - don't like the PSL, but love the PS muffins/cookies/everything else and then a toffee nut latte!
#2 - love fall leaves!
#3 - started this week, burning a caramel swirl latte candle.
#4 - I have done that before, but I was younger... might need to bring it back!

#5 - or I make a zillion PS desserts/breads/etc.
#6 - I have done this once, and this year I'm going to buy a new phone (probably just an iPhone 5c) after the new one comes out.
#8 - in my younger days, now I don't dress up.
#9 - *guilty*
#10 - OH YES.
#11 - I don't have Uggs, but I crunch leaves in my riding boots!
#12 - this reminds me of @Hummingbird125's shirt she's wearing for her e-pics... and I just bought a flannel-ish shirt to wear for our family pictures!
#15 - I just buy a bunch of candles because I can't wear their lotion

#16 - with s'mores.
#17 - H is making me wait until next weekend to put up fall decorations. party pooper.
#19 - I don't dye my hair, but I do like to look!
#21 - I've got up at 3 AM before, but only once or twice... do not make a habit of it!
#22 - I might have done this once....
#23 - every year.
#24 - we always have a small family Thanksgiving before Thanksgiving (just me and H) so I can practice my recipes for the real thing.
#25 - not an infinity scarf, but normal scarves, yes!

what about you?

[Deleted User] · September 2014

Haha I read this yesterday and I would say it pretty much describes my Fall activities for the most part as well.

#1 - I love PSL! and I also love all the pumpkin flavored snacks to come along with that especially Pumpkin spice coffee creamer!!
#2 - I've never posted fall leaves before on Instagram but I love it when they change color! It's so pretty!
#3 - I need to go out and buy a fall scented candle! I may do that today since I'm going to Target! CAN'T WAIT!
#4 - I haven't gone pumpkin picking in a while but H and I are taking family photos this year at a pumpkin patch so I will get to this year!
#5 - Basically!
#6 - I desperately need a new phone since mine is acting strange and not receiving texts from anyone soo this might be a possibility.
#7 - I don't have a Falcon's jersey but I have a GA Tech one soo yes I will be sporting that!
#8- hahaha maybe in college but I haven't done that since then. We are dressing up Maddux this year!
#9 - Already posted all my Fall decorations all over facebook lol. Oh well.

#10 -Duh...I do this already year around
#11 - I love my UGGS and I can't wait to wear them!
#12 - I have one flannel shirt but I'm going to by another one with a vest for our family pictures this Fall.
#13 - We are doing Fall Family photos!
#14 - Haven't done this ever but I am thankful lol
#15 - I like Bath and Body works Country Apple lotion! OMG!
#16 - This could be a possibility if we go camping this fall.
#17 - Done!
#18 - Haven't done this yet but our backyard has a big tree in it sooo we could do that with Maddux who will probably eat the leaves.
#19 - I don't dye my hair.
#20 - I probably shouldn't complain about how cold it gets in GA since it's really not every extreme but I don't wear North faces anymore unless we are going skiing. I wear patagonia and Mountain Hardware.
#21 - Yes! For Christmas Shopping

#22- If I get new boots lol

#23- H and I will do this! I have done this thought with my roommates in college.

#24- We will probably do this with family but I've never done this with friends yet

#25- YES!!!! I love love love infinity scarves!!!

labro · September 2014

I just had a spice muffin for breakfast....just sayin'.

Oh and my coffee was called Autumn Harvest - espresso, cinnamon, hazelnut, and toffee nut.

GoldenPenguin · September 2014

YUP. 98% of them. And I'm not even sorry.

[Deleted User] · September 2014

@LaPeanut1018 - where do you get that coffee??? I seriously want to order some... it's all my favorite flavors in one cup!

labro · September 2014

@CocoBellaF Come to Georgia and I will take you there! It's an independent coffee group that serves free-trade coffee.

https://landofathousandhills.com/

[Deleted User] · September 2014

I think I can order online! I'm browsing them, hoping to find that yummy coffee in their online store. you guys have the best stuff!! we're going to our favorite coffee shop tonight, so I'm going to see if they have anything similar. I need some decaf too, so I can have a cup in the evening while I study.

THEY HAVE SOUTHERN PECAN! IN DECAF!!!

ETA: I don't see Autumn Harvest in their online shop. UGH UGH UGH.

lmcooper86 · September 2014

Haha, I read this last night!

#1 - I will probably have a couple PSL, but I generally find them too sweet. All other PS treats will be mine though!
#2 - I have not done this. I might do it now.
#3 - Totally went to BBW last night and bought pumpkin spice candles...
#4 - Confession: I have never been pumpkin picking. Maybe I'll go with FSIL and her son this year.
#5 - ALL THE PS TREATS!
#6 - No. I don't need a new phone, as much as I would love the snazzy fingerprint unlocking thing.
#7 - I don't really care about the NFL, so no jersey here. FI says I need a Leafs one though...
#8 - I did coordinate with other people a few years when I worked at a restaurant.
#9 - I have no fall decorations, but any fall activities will be photographed )
#10 - When DON'T I do this?
#11 - Meh. I'm more of a kicking leaves and making a mess type of gal
#12 - Mmmm flannel.
#13 - E.pics are done, but I'm sure there will be some family photo stuff coming up.
#14 - I use it once at Thanksgiving. That is all.
#15 - No. I want my apartment to smell like a pumpkin, but not my arms.
#16 - Anytime!
#17 - Again, I have no fall decorations. My candle will have to do.
#18 - Possibly, if the opportunity presents itself.
#19 - I'm slowly working on going darker, so I guess I'm doing this?
#20 - It's September and Toronto has it's first heat alert today. North Face clearly not required yet!
#21 - Nooooooo. I will leave that to FMIL and FSIL. I probably won't even be in the States anyway.
#22 - I am itching to buy new boots, and will fully photograph them.
#23 - Again, counting on FMIL/FSIL for this one. Pumpkins in apartments don't make sense.
#24 - I want to do this badly. We might do it over American thanksgiving weekend.
#25 - Obviously. I need to finish the scarf I'm making pronto.

[Deleted User] · September 2014

@lmcooper86 - we put out OU stuff around here, but most people don't wear jerseys. I am looking for a cute OU hoodie to wear! we go to campus all the time (that's where our favorite restaurant is) and the only hoodie I have is OSU... that is NOT OKAY.

luckya23 · September 2014

Well, this just confirms what that facebook quiz last year told me - I'm not white, just like Colin Powell.

Though we might take e-pics in the fall if we ever get a photographer, and I live for Black Friday. I'm way more hardcore than anyone else I know about it, and have been going since my BFF got her license.

When I was in college, people had seriously never heard of Black Friday - I got a lot of side-eyes about the name actually. It has really taken off in the last 5-10 years.

[Deleted User] · September 2014

we took spring e-pics for our summer wedding, I like all the green and pretty sunlight... but this year's family pics are going to be all fall!!

[Deleted User] · September 2014

@cocobellaF -We did the same thing for our e pics even though our wedding was in November. We wanted to do spring e pics as all the trees were blooming and everything was green. I'm excited to change things up a bit this year.

[Deleted User] · September 2014

@LaPeanut1018 - I emailed the company to ask about getting a special order of the Autumn Harvest... I'm serious about this, haha!

labro · September 2014

@CocoBellaF I don't think it's a brewed coffee. You can probably get those flavor syrups and make it yourself!

[Deleted User] · September 2014

@LaPeanut1018 - they had a southern pecan (LOVE!!!) and a hazelnut brewed coffee that looks good. and I will be so sad if I can't get my grubby hands on the Autumn Harvest.

[Deleted User] · September 2014

@LaPeanut1018 - their response:

"We're so excited that you're trying our coffee. Autumn Harvest actually does not exist anymore, but instead our fall flavor is Pumpkin Spice. It's virtually the same flavor with a different name, which a few minor changes in taste. That product should be available to purchase from our online store! Thanks so very much and let me know if you have other questions!"

Peaseblossom55 · September 2014

I don't and won't do any of these. I may make cookies with the kitchenaid mixer, but it's nothing fall related.

GoldenPenguin · September 2014

We're doing our e-pics in the fall, because that's when we originally wanted to have the wedding, so I thought it would be a fun way to incorporate the fall into our plans!

Also, because I'm totally a basic white girl and I love the fall, so there.

That actually makes sense. Pumpkin Spice is one of their whole bean flavors (and it's delicious!). The Autumn Spice coffee I ordered today is coffee with some flavor syrups added.

minskat30 · September 2014

Except for the cookies like @Peaseblossom - I must not be a girl, or a white girl?

eilis1228 · September 2014

LOL I'm such a basic white girl.

1. No thanks. I don't like coffee, but I looooove tea. I'm sure there will be pumpkin spiced tea out there, and I'm sure I'll buy it.

2. Leaves don't really change in Texas. They kiiiinda do in November, but they normally just turn brown and fall off the tree.

3. Yep, already done this. Haven't lit them yet since it's still 100 degrees though.

4. Haven't taken pumpkin pics in a while actually. I do love visiting the arboretum here though during the fall. Pumpkins and gourds everywhere!

5. If only I weren't on a diet of sorts...

6. I won't wait in line, and I'm not sure I'll get the newest one. I do need a new phone in the near-ish future, but I may just get the 5s once it drops in price. The plan we're on doesn't subsidize the cost of the phone, so I'd have to pay in full for it.

7. Nope, not a big sports household. I've been known to wear burnt orange on game days, but that's as far as I really go.

8. LOL yes, but this includes all ethnicities and genders... we like to do a group theme for costumes and then go to local bars and participate in their contests. This year we've thrown around Game of Thrones or Jehovah's Witnesses.

9. I have seen that exact image all over my FB, although I am not the one posting it.

10. Effing a those cookies look good. I love cookies. Om nom nom. Again, trying to stick to a diet, so probably not too much baking on my end.

11. My uggs don't normally come out until winter. I've never taken a pic like that in them, but I think the fact that I have ugg boots is what makes me a basic white girl. :-P

12. Nope, no flannel. Was tempted to buy some but then didn't.

13. Going to schedule them sometime in November

Our wedding is fall themed.

14. I hate hashtags.

15. No lotion, but yes to the shower gel. I worked there during college and grad school, so I have quite the collection.

16. I LOVE BONFIRES! mmmm smores.

17. Yep, I love fall decor. I feel like this makes me a suburbia mom moreso than a basic white girl.

18. lol no, but $10 says this ends up being one of our engagement pics

19. Eh, I kind of fall into this. I do tend to add more brown in the colder months, but it's basically the same color year round (auburn).

20. Aw, I used to have a North Face jacket.

21. Nope, I do the online shopping.

22. lol no, no pics at all like that.

23. Yep... already planning it. We're going to call it an Oktoberfest party and serve brats and beer, and then we'll roast pumpkin seeds.

24. We do a festive Friendsmas, but not a Friendsgiving.

25. It rarely gets cold enough here in the fall for scarves, but I heart scarves. I need to finish knitting a HP scarf for FI, actually.

lavenderfields13 · September 2014

I don't do any of these. We are taking our e- pics the day after Fall starts but that was unfortunately not when they were supposed to be done.

apparently I'm not a basic white girl.

AuroraRose41 · September 2014

I feel like I fail at being a white girl. Only like 5 of these apply to me.

1. I love pumpkin. I also love coffee. But together they just don't taste right to me. Anytime I have ever ordered a coffee drink with pumpkin flavoring, it tastes like chai to me. I will happily continue baking my awesome pumpkin pies and breads and muffins though, and drink my plain coffee with them!

2. I don't instagram or take pictures of the trees with different color leaves. Also, leaf peepers drive me nuts. STOP LOOKING AT THE TREES AND WATCH WHERE YOU ARE DRIVING.

3. I just buy candles that smell good. Maybe I will buy a pumpkin one, just maybe.

4. I haven't taken a picture with a pumpkin since I was 5.

5. Not exactly. I just buy a ton of organic canned pumpkin from Trader Joe's and make my own pumpkin everything.

6. I have never and will never own an iPhone. I like Androids way too much, and the products that I work on go into Android phones, so yay supporting my company!

7. Okay, I definitely do this. I will be wearing my Chargers jersey to work on Monday.

8. Only in college, and only because it was a tradition in my sorority (every pledge class dresses up together).

9. I have never used Photoshop.

10. I make cookies and other various baked items with my KitchenAid throughout the year. But I guess this one counts lol.

11. I am probably the only girl from the Northeast who has never owned a pair of Ugg boots.

12. I also have never owned flannel.

13. Umm maybe? I can't answer this one yet. Ask me again in (hopefully!) a year.

14. I think I have used a hashtag once ever. And it was not this one.

15. I stick with my favorite scent (Midnight Pomegranate!) from Bath and Body works year round.

16. I love bonfires and s'mores! But that's more of a summer thing in NY, and a non existent thing in San Diego (wildfire risk is huge in the fall).

17. I don't decorate unless it is a holiday. So only for Halloween or Thnaksgiving, but nothing stating "Fall" in between.

18. Nope.

19. I am perfectly happy with my sun kissed blonde hair year round thankyouverymuch. Also, burnt orange would be a very unflattering color on me.

20. I think I am also the only girl born and raised in the Northeast who has never owned a Northface.

21. In recent years, yes. I will admit to this one

.

22. Haven't bought boots on Black Friday ever, and see #2.

23. I also haven't carved a pumpkin since my sorority held a rush event for pumpkin carving when I was a sophomore. So no.

24. We totally wanted to do this for our vegetarian Indian (actually from India) friends/coworkers who didn't understand what Thanksgiving is last year. We couldn't find a good time when we were all in San Diego though, so maybe this year? I will also have to get creative with a tofurkey....

25. Regular scarves, yes. Selfies? No.

KeptInStitches · September 2014

#1 - yep, unapologetically.

#2 - #9 - nope.

#10 - next year I get a Kitchenaid one way or another.

#11 - oh yeah.

#12 - nope.

#13 - ... well it wouldn't be fall if someone didn't have a psoriasis flare ...

#14 - #19 - nope

#20 - we call that living in cold climate.

#21 - oh yeah.

#22 - #25 - nope.

bethsmiles · September 2014

I Do (not that many of them):

#1 - Yes! So good! I do think they came out with PSL a bit early this year though. I can't really enjoy it when it's 90* outside

#3 - Yup. Usually an apply one.

#4 - Kind of. I take pictures with the pumpkins I spend hours carving. BF and I are very into pumpkin carving. It's a minimum two-day event.

#5 - Yup. Guilty. Pumpkin Spice is amazing and I will buy it all!

#12 - Flannel is amazing. I need more flannel shirts but don't want to buy them till I reach my goal weight so there will be very little flannel this year.

#16 - Bonfires! But those are strictly for fall...those are amazing all the time.

#23 - Of course pumpkin carving but it's more than just a Friday night.

I LOVE fall I just don't celebrate it with all the selfies listed here.

beanbot2002 · September 2014

Bean may or may not have loudly declared "PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE TIME, YA'LL!!!!!" this morning, in the car. He's an addict. I only let him get decaf though.

[Deleted User] · September 2014

@beanbot2002 - your kid is the cutest thing ever.

speakeasy14 · September 2014

haha this list is awesome! I was surprised that most of these do not or only partially apply to me:

1. Don't like PSL. I used to get PS creamer but the flavoring got old fast. I just use the Bailey's creamers year round.

2. I love the colors of fall. I do not use instagram, and when I do take pictures of the leaves changing I don't filter anything.

3. I use lemon cookie or apple cinnamon candles year round.

4. I only take pictures of my pumpkins after they've been carved.

5. I use canned pumpkin and my own pumpkin spice seasoning for baking, but don't really buy a lot of already made stuff.

6. Yeah no thanks.

7. Only wear my jersey when at games.

8. Haven't dressed up for halloween in years, and never coordinated with anyone.

9. Maybe through Pinterest, but yeah I don't create anything through photoshop.

10. I bake, a lot, and a KitchenAid is a blessing.

11. Uggs... never owned, never will.

12. I live in the sticks, so yeah I own flannel.

13. Will when the day happens... season doesn't matter

14. Never used a hashtag.

15. Own the sweet cinnamon pumpkin lotion and use it year round.

16. Have them all the time until it's too cold to sit outside, then I sit in front of the fireplace.

17. Yeah no thanks

18. If I throw leaves it is not for a photo-op, but because I am throwing them at someone.

19. Blonde all year long.

20. Always cold, and I own several fleeces. Not one of them is a northface.

21. After working retail I will not shop on black Friday until after 1:00pm.

22. Again, no instagram.

23. Not a Friday night, more like a weekend afternoon or after work. And not a party. Usually my whole family will pick out pumpkins, and then I get stuck carving them all or they don't get carved at all.

24. Friendsgiving? No idea what that even is.

25. I wear all types of scarves. Some are meant to be worn all day, others are meant to be worn outdoors.

KeptInStitches · September 2014

Hey, on a related note, anyone want to shop for sweater dresses with me? I think I need one now for engagement photos. I'm an apple (all shoulders, no hips) and I have cool skin tones. I've been looking at things like this and this and this and this and this and this (all links).

eilis1228 · September 2014

@KeptInStitches‌ I love the last one!
