Natural living bucket list for October

Hi Reader,

If you missed the past months Natural living bucket list, you can find them here: August | July | September​

​
Here is your monthly Natural lifestyle inspiration dose for this month. In October is time to share and enjoy the joys of autumn:

  • Roll beeswax candles. Darkness is inevitable, but embrace it with light. One of the best ways is to use beeswax sheets to roll beautiful honeycomb-patterned beeswax candles. Natural lighting with natural colors of autumn.
  • Steep herbal teas. Keep yourself warm with herbal teas. Avoid heavy energizing drinks to make your energy yo-yo up and down, use teas and coffees to ​balance your energy naturally​ throughout the darker time..
  • Study herbalism and plant uses. When the weather is not your friend, use your time to learn about plants that can heal you, plants you want to grow, and herbs you can use as tea already.
  • Make Autumn Crafts. Gather acorns, pine cones, rowan berries, and autumn leaves to make tea light candle arrangements, natural wreaths, berry garlands, and more.
  • Bake Cinnamon Rolls. The Cinnamon Roll Day is just around the corner (more about it in a few days!). October is the best time to use all of those warm spices to wake up the senses in a sweet fresh bakery product form.
  • Get cozy at home. Get those woollen blankets from the cupboard, make some ​apple glogg​ or ​dark hot chocolate​, and light the beeswax candles you made. Autumn time is a perfect time to revisit the nooks of your home. Change and arrange places so that they serve you best this season, now that you'll be home more.
  • Bake with pumpkin. And of course, bake using pumpkin. Pumpkin soup with some tahini, pumpkin muffins, and pies, or use the pumpkin spices to make a pumpkin spice latte.

What goes on your bucket list this lovely October?

Rooibos chai latte in a brown mug with cinnamon powder on the top and a cinnamon stick. Around smoe autumn leaves with all the colours.

Natural Lifestyle Letters Hi Reader, today as I promised you I am publishing my very favourite recipe! The spicy chai latte is one of my favourite autumn and wintertime beverages. I used to make it with black tea, but when my four-year-old daughter loooved it and wanted to sip it with me (basically every day), I preferred to dial down the caffeine that she would have from it. Using rooibos bush leaves instead of black tea gives earthy flavours to accompany spices like cinnamon and cardamom,...

A glass of Nordic Hibiscus glogg on a wooden serving baord with cinnamon sticks.

Natural Lifestyle Letters When it’s cold outside, Reader, nothing creates a cozier feeling than a warm homemade beverage that is warming your hands, body and soul. If you’d ask a Nordic what that beverage would be, well, 90% would say: “Glogg of course, it’s winter isn’t it?“ If you have never tasted glogg, it is a warm spiced juice that is often bit on the sweeter side. Many want their glogg stronger and mixing some red wine, calvados or even rum. Glogg is like a close friend of mulled wine...

A candle in the lantern in winter landscape.

Natural Lifestyle Letters Dear Reader, we are stepping into the slower season — the time of soft light, quiet evenings, and the simple comfort of home. 🤍 When the light fades, I always feel drawn to simplify life and focus on the small things that bring calm. The darker months can feel heavy, so I’ve learned to create an atmosphere that restores — not drains — my energy. That’s why keeping it cozy, Nordic hygge way, is the key during the dark time. It’s the kind of warmth that gently gives...
