fall. autumn. No matter what you call it, this is a new season and a new opportunity to enjoy all the fun, food and joy that comes with it.
After the hot weather was hot and hot, autumn quietly fell on many of us. We are still in summer mode, enjoying lazy days and grilling food. Then all of a sudden, we fell into the frenzy of going back to school/returning to basics. It can be disorienting and make you miss the slower, relaxed pace of summer. I know I must feel this way.
But with the arrival of autumn, you will have many opportunities to fill your days with rich and super fun experiences. Please note that I am not talking about pumpkin spice. (Although, we also like the PSL here. Take a look This recipe See what I mean. This too.)
I’m talking about all the festive atmosphere… and some things you can do now to prepare for the long, cold, dark winter.
Are you ready to play in the fall? let’s do it!
Enjoy the outdoors
If you do it “right” in the summer, you may spend a lot of time outdoors. There is no reason to give up time outside just because autumn is here.
We know that staying in the office or house all day is not good for us. In fact, we are born to spend part of our time outdoors. Our bodies need light and movement, and the story ends.
In addition to increasing our vitamin D levels and encouraging us to exercise, outdoor time can also Accelerate healing and help our emotions. So although you can continue to go out in nature this fall. Walk briskly or ride a bike, meet up with friends or neighbors to play football, conquer a corn maze, or even rake-then jump in! ——Some leaves. There is a lot of fun to enjoy outside in autumn.If you are sensitive to cold, wear a few more clothes, drink some hot tea or Bone broth During breaks or when you come in.
Indulge your senses
Changing the color of the leaves. The comfort of woolen sweaters and plush blankets.Flavors of apple, pumpkin and cinnamon everything…
The crunch of those fallen leaves under your feet…
The smell of wood burning fireplaces, fresh baked goods and hot coffee…
Um! Do you feel it?
The smells, sounds and feelings of autumn are intoxicating… and they are everywhere. Pay attention to them and enjoy them. We only have a few months of the year to get them.
Try autumn flavor food
From hearty soups to apple desserts-and everything in between-the taste of autumn is unparalleled. Here are some of my favorite fall recipes.
Bone Broth and French Onion Bone Broth
Since each serving contains 15 grams of protein, hydrolyzed collagen can support your skin, bones and joints. add To provide extra support for your intestines, metabolism and hunger pangs, drinking bone broth is one of my favorite activities.
When I want some varieties, I will choose mine French Onion Bone Soup Either sip it yourself or mix in some nutritional yeast to make it “cheesy”. Sometimes I even add beef slices, fire-roasted tomatoes and a teaspoon of tomato sauce to make it firm in a very Italian way.I also use Raw bone soup with French Onion Bone Soup As the basis for soups and stews. This thing is versatile…and very delicious. This is the most popular year-round, but it is especially suitable for fall.
Pumpkin everything
In addition to being delicious, pumpkin is also rich in nutrients… and is a seasonal staple food. I wrote a complete post about my favorite pumpkin recipe-from drinks to desserts- You can find it here.

What is a girl going to do?
Fight against the effects of this dry season by providing your body with collagen. Collagen helps your skin and soft tissue maintain its strength and elasticity. In addition, it can improve joint comfort, promote thick hair, and support healthy skin and intestinal health. It is always an indispensable product in my cabinet, especially in the cold months.
I believe in the power of collagen so much that I add it to several of my Dr. Kelian’s products-coffee, creamer, orange juice cooler, milkshake, and even cocoa! (Yes, you can enjoy collagen cocoa throughout the fall and winter!) Of course, I also have an unflavored cocoa powder, so you can add it to your favorite soups, stews, smoothies and morning coffee to make Your body strengthens its desires.You can view the whole Dr. Kelian’s collagen lineup is here.
Autumn is a great transitional season. Take some time to make the most of it… and leave many memories as you do.
