After listening to Nat King Cole and Lady Ella on repeat, I am so excited to announce that it’s the best time of the year… Now, what’s so great about autumn? Is it nostalgia?

Join me as I make my declaration of love to the fall season and what it symbolizes both personally and as a whole. Don’t forget to check out my curated list of media to consume especially since it’s peak season to do so!
