It’s technically still summer in Texas, but the temperature dropped 10 degrees and I’m busting out the fall. See ya, Summer!
Plant Therapy (10% off your first order with this link) has the best fall essential oils and I’ve been diffusing them non-stop the last couple of days. Some of my absolute favorites are coffee, cinnamon, clove, orange, nutmeg, pumpkin spice and autumn breeze… The list goes on y’all.
My current fav DIY blend is what I’m calling “crunchy leaves”. I’ve diffused this a few times when guests have come over and every single person has complimented how my home smells. Here’s the blend:
3 drops cedarwood
2 drops cinnamon
2 drops sandalwood
Can one have too many fall candles? Asking for a friend… I can’t choose just one favorite because they’re all that good!
Just Ingredients Pumpkin Spice Candle (20% off with code DRCOURTNEY) — It’s giving serious pumpkin spiced latte vibes, and it’s absolutely divine. Probably the best-smelling non-toxic candle I’ve ever encountered. It’s so irresistible that I had to let my entire family and office experience it before even lighting it—and we all ended up ordering more!
Natural Sloth Fall, Cozy, and Spiced Coffee Candles — I keep Natural Sloth candles in my bathrooms. The Fall candle has a rich nutmeg and cinnamon aroma, offering a warm, spicy scent. Cozy is perfect for transitioning from fall to winter with its woodsy notes. And Spiced Coffee makes it feel like you’re brewing a warm cinnamon latte all day long.
Fontana Cinnamon Orange Clove and Pumpkin Pie Candles — I keep Fontana Candles in our bedrooms. I discovered them in 2021 and have been a fan ever since. They’ve consistently been among the best nontoxic candles I’ve found. We carry them at Our Well House if you’re local to Frisco, TX. I especially love how the Cinnamon Orange Clove candle seamlessly takes you from fall through Christmas!
Smear (10% off with code DRCOURTNEY) does tallow beautifully! Their Thanksgiving tallow is infused with tangerine, clove, and cardamom essential oils, and perfectly whipped for a luxurious feel. As the weather cools and our skin tends to dry out, Smear keeps me hydrated all winter long.
Rowe Casa Organics (20% off with code DRCOURTNEY) Pumpkin Spice Room Spray is delightfully simple and not overpowering. When I need a quick room refresh, this is my go-to!
Natural Sloth’s Fall & Cozy Home & Linen Spray is incredibly effective, so I love using it in our bathrooms to cover any, ahem, tracks.
A touch of fall in every corner that blends seamlessly with your existing decor—without looking like fall has exploded all over your home.
Realistic Pumpkins – These realistic pumpkins will last you through the years and are perfect to pop on a bookshelf.
Fall Pillow – Woven plaid in rich red, brown, and cream tones—the perfect neutral pop for fall. I love adding down feather inserts to all my decor pillows to keep that perfect ‘karate chop’ look.
Cozy Adult Blanket by AU Baby – I’ve been obsessed with their baby blankets ever since my daughter was born, and I’ve gifted them to so many friends and family. Now, they finally have a generously sized throw made from merino wool, and I’m in love! There’s nothing better than natural fibers that fit perfectly with my design aesthetic. I’ve been cozying up with this blanket on the couch, and it doubles as the cutest throw.
Hanging Woven Basket – Swap out the wreath for a woven door basket, tie a ribbon around it, and toss in some faux leaves and flowers. Just like that, you’ve got an elevated front door look for fall!
Faux Leaves – A fantastic addition to your front door basket or indoor vases.
