Bucket List for October

Hi Reader,

If you missed the past months' Natural Living Bucket List, you can find it here: September​

​
Here is your seasonal 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.

I’ll be sharing with you later this fall, also my tutorial on beeswax tea lights, so keep an eye on your inbox!

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.

If you need blending ideas, try one of my winter tea blends to get you started.

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. I suggest a Tea Blending Mini Course to start with, or a more comprehensive Introductory Herbal Course.

Learning new skills and broadening your knowledge will keep your mind awake during the darker months.

Make Autumn Crafts

Gather acorns, pine cones, rowan berries, and autumn leaves to make tea light candle arrangements, natural wreaths, berry garlands, and more.

Find all tutorials here.

Bake Cinnamon Rolls

The Cinnamon Roll Day is just around the corner. Bake cinnamon buns on October 4th to celebrate as the Nordics do! 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?

Every day makes a difference. ♡
