The Winter Solstice: 2018’s Longest Night is just ahead of a Full Moon and meteor shower as the earth begins its shift towards balance.  This serves as a reminder from the cosmos to check in and identify imbalances in our own lives. The holiday season is nearing its end which makes this a great time to pause and hit reset before we ring in the New Year.

Identifying Imbalances

Often times, one area of imbalance bleeds into another causing holistic disharmony in our lives.  The last thing we need when we’re feeling out of alignment is overwhelm. Getting a clear idea of what isn’t working will help us move toward stability. So how do we do this?

A tool I discovered through my health coach training that has helped me gain clarity is the Circle of Life [https://www.integrativenutrition.com/circleoflife] tool from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. I’ve made this tool a part of a monthly check-in I do with myself and it’s allowed me to see where I’m thriving, where I can improve, and where patterns exist on a macro level. It paints a clear picture of how satisfied I am with each area of my life and has helped me regain equilibrium. Give this tool a try, and let me know how it worked for you!

Getting clear on where we stand is essential. Simply writing out the things that are taking up the most time and energy can allow us to visualize our imbalances and make the shifts needed to get us to where we wish to go. Freehand writing what’s on your mind will free up mental RAM and give you a sense of what’s bothering you.

 

Start with a Clean Slate

Now that we’ve identified what needs to shift, we can begin leveling ourselves out. Here are a few ways to recalibrate:

• Get moving – I know it’s cold AF right now, but going outside for some fresh air and movement will completely shift your energy and warm you up! If weather permits, go outside for a fast-paced walk while deep breathing for about 20-30 minutes. (You can use this opportunity to light up a Kush Queen cone packed with your favorite strain!) If you’re short on time or you simply can’t bear the weather, try a ten minute high intensity circuit or yoga flow video on YouTube or find some stairs to walk up and down a few times. This will get your heart pumping fresh oxygenated blood through your system and will help you sweat out toxins

• Get clear – You’ve cleansed your body, now cleanse your mind. Consider what’s on your plate and write it all down so you can see what you’re working with. Take a dose of Bare to set aside any anxieties or stress while you make 3 lists: One for your responsibilities; one for your career/financial goals; and one for your personal needs and desires. Once you have this on paper you can assess how much energy to dedicate to each area and move forward without wasting your mental space

• Let go – Now that you’ve taken care of your physical and mental wellbeing and have a clear picture of your priorities, it’s a great time to practice letting go. Check out our Letting Go Ritual and incorporate any or all of it into your practice. To take the ritual a step further, write down the things you are ready to release in order to regain your balance on a piece of paper before your bath. Burn the piece of paper after you complete the bath ritual and imagine what you are releasing flow back into space and feel the weight of your imbalance shift toward symmetry.

 

Let it be all about You

This time of year, it’s easy to get caught up in trying to make everyone happy. The most impactful thing you can do for yourself and others is to routinely practice self-care and honor your body’s signals at all times.

No matter what the root cause of your imbalances may be, nothing is permanent and everything is in motion. Empower yourself by taking a step back as often as you need and recalibrating.

 

We at Kush Queen wish you a happy, healthy, and high holiday season!

It is the time of year to spread a little extra cheer and honestly, people really need it. The Holidays are stressful, cold, and thanks to daylight savings time, dark AF. A lot of people, present company included, have a rough go of things during the winter season. From homesickness to missing past relatives and even winter induced depression, most people could really benefit from a little extra light this time of year.

One of the simplest ways to spread a little holiday cheer is through the art of the greeting card. A funny message can help to distract from heartbreak, while a sentimental note can help someone feel heard and cared for. Showing a token of your love and appreciation for another person can go a long way. Which is exactly why we have decided to release our very first set of FREE printables. A little something from us, to help make your season a little bit brighter.

Whether you are the “I send a Christmas card to everyone I have ever met” kind of person or the “I’ve never spent a dime on a greeting card and I don’t intend to start not” kind of person… We are taking care of you this season with a FREE set of Holiday Greeting cards. Some have a little humor to offer, some keep it simple and festive, all offer you a vessel to share how much you care for those around you. So grab some cardstock (or plain paper if that’s your jam), fire up the printer and pour yourself a cup of Hot Cocoa. You’ve got some cheer to spread!

…and In the spirit of sharing, here are a few of my favorite ways to spread that extra cheer…

 

Keep it Simple, Keep it Sappy

Sometimes a simple, genuine, heartfelt message is all you need. We aren’t always great at speaking our minds and sometimes it’s just easier to put all of those feelings into writing. This is the perfect opportunity to print up one of our cards and allow yourself to spill out some gratitude to all of your loved ones. Pop them in the mail, add to gifts, or put it directly in their hands paired with a warm holiday hug. However you choose to express yourself, just do it. Open up, share the love, and don’t forget to let it in as well. We all need it and as I learned from some very wise men, It’s actually ALL we need.

 

Warming Hearts and Tummies

When the season gets tough and it’s hard to find the joy, I turn to Hot Chocolate. I am pretty positive it has magical powers. The cozy, warm, creamy chocolatey goodness oozes it’s way into all the dark spaces and motivates me to turn on the Christmas tree, crank up the Holiday tunes and allow myself to feel some joy. Gifting Hot Cocoa is a great way to bring someone a little extra warmth this season and it can be a quick and easy gift for anyone on your list. You can choose a classic take or have fun with it and personalize the recipe to the receiver. If you aren’t sure where to start, I would sugest trying one of these tasty DIY Hot Cocoa recipes. Whip it up, add one of our printable gift cards, and feel like Santa Claus himself as you pass around all the tasty cheer.

 

More than a Gift

With Christmas just around the corner, you may have missed your opportunity to find the perfect gift for everyone on your list. This is a great time to flex your creative muscles, get inside the heads of your loved ones, and consider alternative options. Now you can, of course, go with the easy solution and grab up some gift cards at your local grocery store, but I would suggest something a touch more heartfelt. his is the time of year to show that you care and that doesn’t have to equal material things

Gifting experiences, over objects, is an amazing way to show someone you are paying attention. From escape rooms and comedy shows to Manicures and Messages. There are so many fun, relaxing, and new things to try out there and gifting that experience to another person could lead to a lifetime of memories shared. Find something they would love to do, grab the gift card, and pop it into one of our Free Greeting Cards. Better yet? Create your own experience! A picnic in the park, a staycation, or a classic homemade coupon book. Whatever experience you coose, you are sure to brighten up more than just their Christmas!

 

#Snowballfight

I am not talking about a literal snowball fight here, but it’s almost as fun. Growing up in a warm climate never really allowed for any genuine snowball fighting, but the tradition of leaving “snowballs” on the doorsteps of friends, family and neighbors is still a playful way to join in on the cheer-spreading.

In this scenario “snowballs” refer to powdered donuts or really any sweet treat that is round in shape and white in color.

You can start your own Snowball fight by first making a list of your “targets”. Then fill up gift boxes, cellophane bags or Tupperware containers with your preferred snowball treat. Using one of our free Holiday Greeting Cards write a kind note and invite the reciever to continue the fight. On the envelope of your card (or the left inside flap if you won’t be using envelopes), write “You’ve Been Hit!”. Now it’s time to drop the boxes on the doorstep of everyone on your list. The fight may even make it’s way back to you! I know it’s cheesy, but it’s so much fun and super yummy!

 

Just do it

Remember, you can keep it simple, you can go all out, but whatever you do, don’t forget to tell your loved ones that you love them. They are your greatest gift and they deserve to know that.

 

Sending Gratitude and Love to you all! Happy Holidays!

Whether you’re looking for a new twist on a holiday classic or something easy you can make in bulk to utilize for hostess gifts, we’ve got you covered. These all-time favorites are dosed with just the right amount of CBD and perfect for everyone, especially those new or interested in giving CBD a try. Not to mention they’re easy to make and easy to eat…

Hot Chocolate with CBD chocolate rim

Hosting a group? Make the hot cocoa a focal point of the get together! Offer different chocolate bases and a few different toppings. Marshmallows, candy, and toffee bits are always great options for toppings! If you are having hot chocolate for a group, sometimes it’s easier to go with store-bought hot chocolate powder. However, if you have the time and the dedication to homemade hot cocoa, I highly recommend giving this a go.

Everything you’ll need: (serves 2)

• 2 cups milk (I prefer whole milk, any milk works though!)

• 2 tablespoons sugar

• 4 oz bittersweet chocolate

• 1 dropper of BARE CBD

• ¼ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

• Optional toppings

Directions:

1. Warm milk and sugar in a saucepan over low heat

2. Break bittersweet chocolate into chunks and microwave for 30 seconds. Remove from microwave and stir. Continue to microwave in 15-second intervals with stirring breaks until chocolate is completely melted

3. Add melted chocolate to milk in the saucepan – the milk should be bubbling just along the sides of the pan

4. Whisk together, let rest and stay warm on an unlit burner

5. Melt semi-sweet chocolate chips in a low and wide bowl in the microwave. Once melted, add 1 dropper full of BARE and mix. Dip the rim of the mug into the melted chocolate, top as desired before chocolate sets

6. Pour hot cocoa

Don’t be afraid to add an extra drop or two directly to your hot chocolate!

Warm Apple Cider with CBD sugar rim

There are two ways you can go about apple cider… You can make it from scratch at home, or you can save your time and add some Trader Joe’s apple cider to your cart the next time you go grocery shopping. Personally, I do the latter.

If you’re making this for a party, I recommend heating up the apple cider in a pot on the stove and prepping the rims on the glasses just before the party begins. If you’re just making one glass to sip on by the Christmas tree, feel free to warm it up in the microwave!

Everything you’ll need: (serves 2)

• 2 cups of apple cider

• BARE CBD

• Cinnamon sugar

• Cinnamon stick

Directions:

While the cider is heating up, sprinkle a fair amount of cinnamon sugar onto a flat plate or surface and set aside. Run some BARE CBD oil around the rim of the glasses you’re using to serve the drink. Once the BARE is lightly coating the rim of the glass, dip the coated rim into the cinnamon sugar. Add the warm cider and a cinnamon stick, and enjoy!

 

CBD Peppermint Bark

Everything you’ll need:

• 8 oz milk chocolate bar

• 8 oz white chocolate bar

• ½ tablespoon BARE CBD

• ¼ teaspoon peppermint extract

• ⅓ cup crushed candy cane

Directions:

1. Line an 8×8 pan with wax paper, set aside

2. Chop up milk chocolate bar into pieces, microwave for 30 seconds. Remove from microwave and stir. Continue to microwave in 15-second intervals with stirring breaks until chocolate is completely melted

3. Add BARE to the melted milk chocolate, mix well

4. Spread melted milk chocolate evenly into the pan, allow to set for a few minutes  before melting the white chocolate (do not refrigerate)

5. Chop up white chocolate bar into pieces, microwave for 30 seconds. Remove from microwave and stir. Continue to microwave in 15-second intervals with stirring breaks until chocolate is completely melted

6. Add peppermint extract to melted white chocolate, mix well

7. Spread melted white chocolate evenly on top of the milk chocolate, work carefully in case the milk chocolate is not completely set

8. Sprinkle crushed candy canes on top of white chocolate before it sets

9. All to set overnight at room temp

10. Cut or break as desired

     

CBD Chocolate Coated Pretzel Sticks

Everything you’ll need:

• 12 large pretzel sticks

• 16 oz milk chocolate bar

• 8 oz white chocolate bar

• 1 tablespoon BARE CBD

• ½ cup crushed candy cane

Directions:

1. Lay out pretzel sticks, set aside

2. Break up milk chocolate into pieces, microwave for 30 seconds. Remove from microwave and stir. Continue to microwave in 15-second intervals with stirring breaks until chocolate is completely melted

3. Add BARE to melted chocolate, mix well

4. Dip pretzel sticks into melted chocolate then lay on pan

5. Sprinkle with crushed candy canes before chocolate sets

For white drizzle design:

1. Break up white chocolate into pieces, microwave for 30 seconds. Remove from microwave and stir. Continue to microwave in 15-second intervals with stirring breaks until chocolate is completely melted

2. Spoon melted chocolate into a ziplock bag. Once filled, cut off a small corner

3. Lightly squeeze and drizzle white chocolate over milk chocolate coated pretzels

    

Both the peppermint bark and the chocolate coated pretzel sticks make for great hostess gifts. Wrap them up in small cellophane bags or tin cans and you’re good to go! A holiday season’s worth of hostess gifts can be done in one night.

Hope these holiday classics with a CBD twist brought some joy to your holiday season!

‘Tis the season of giving but you have no idea what to get your loved ones! Don’t stress out and spend all your hard-earned money on boring, mindless items that’ll be regifted or returned before the year is over. Give them the gift of wellness and show them how much you care about their self-care!

 

The Experiential Gift

If you’re shopping for a millennial, chances are they’d prefer an experiential gift to a tangible one. Even if they’re outside the millennial age group, you can still wow them with a luxurious mani-pedi or massage enhanced with CBD.

Kush Queen’s collaboration with Bellacures makes the perfect experiential gift to give Mom after she hosted the whole family for Christmas. Send her to one of Bellacures’ Southern California nail salons for a Canni Cure—a CBD-infused mani-pedi—that’ll ease her right into the new year. Or make it a date and treat Mom and yourself to a CanniCure—you both deserve it!

Another great gift to pamper your loved ones with is a CBD-infused massage that’ll keep their pain away long after they leave the spa. Check out our store locator to find a spa or nail salon near you that offers services using Kush Queen’s Melt Pain Lotion and CBD bath bombs.

If you can’t find Kush Queen in your area, send your Secret Santa home with the Canni Cure Kit and let them be in charge of their spa experience! They’ll have everything they need for a CBD-infused foot bath, sugar scrub, and hand massage in the comfort of their own home.

 

Pumpkin Spice & Everything Nice

Gift cards can seem like half-assed, last-minute gifts that impress no one. This year, make that gift card to their favorite coffee shop shine under the tree by pairing it with Kush Queen’s Limited Edition Holiday Bath Bomb Collection, complete with the Pumpkin Spice Latte, Peppermint Latte, and Black Magic Bath Bombs. They’ll flip when they see the Latte Bath Bombs packaged in beautifully branded coffee cups!

Get creative and write them instructions on how to make the most of your gift. For example:
“Enjoy a latte on me before the annual Candy Cane Lane stroll. After that, warm up in a soothing bath with a seasonal Kush Queen bath bomb.”

Your holiday gift card bundle will be anything but basic!

 

Bundle Up with CBD

Kush Queen’s curated collections are perfect for introducing someone to a host of amazing wellness products at once—plus they make the shopping experience easy on you!

Shopping for a novice? The CBD Wellness Collection is the ideal gift set for the CBD-curious folks on your list.

The Gift of Wellness Keeps on Giving

Thoughtful, creative, and unique gifts add an extra element of cheer to the holiday spirit for both the giver and recipient.

With the holiday season approaching, the end of year chaos is upon us. It’s easy to get caught up in all the things that you have to do and can be easy to forget about taking care of yourself. That could mean neglecting your self-care routine and even letting your love life take a back seat. The thing is, the Holiday season is just too magical to let any of this fall to the wayside. So, whether you are spending this Holiday season with the love of your life or going it alone this year, you should be ramping up the self-love and romance every chance you get. That’s why we put together this simple guide to help you bring the holiday heat back into your life. You can follow these steps with your partner or treat yourself to some solo holiday romance. Either way, remember that you deserve it!

Bathe

Run a hot bath for two or just you! Turn on some holiday music or some sexy tunes, light a holiday scented candle, add in some flowers, spark up a joint (whatever your heart desires) and run a nice hot bath. Try our Peppermint Latte bath bomb and up the CBD doseage by adding in an Immunity bath bomb. Being horizontal in water helps our mood, increases circulation, and provides endless additional benefits. Make sure to relax, breath and allow atleast 30 minutes to absorb all the CBD and those essential oils.

Introduce Ignite

With so much going on, you may be extra tired and not in the mood. But the truth is that orgasms are good for our health. Several studies have found that sex and orgasm are good for your heart, both because the process provides a solid workout and because they help to lower your blood pressure, reduce stress, and improve your emotional health. Our Ignite lubricant features cannabis, a vasodilator which brings blood to the area allowing you to orgasm quicker, as it’s active ingredient.

Drop a note

With materialism and consumerism in its peak season, it’s easy to get caught up. That’s why I love to leave little love notes. Write one for yourself and put it in your makeup, your car, or in your bathroom cabinet. Chances are you’ll forget it about it and find it at the moment you need it most. If you have a partner, write one for them too. Leave it by the bedside table, in their lunch box, or in a shoe. There’s nothing like opening up a little paper and reading something sweet. Scientifically, your brain will release endorphins and dopamine. It will not only make you feel better, but science says the receiver will most likely pass on those good vibes.

The weather is finally cooling down here on the west coast & the fall feels are sinking in hard. For me, being the basic bish that I am, that means it’s time to break out the pumpkin. I feel compelled to note that as I write this I am shamelessly scarfing down a slice of pumpkin cheesecake. It. Is. Everything. I honestly just love the warm comfort the aromas and flavors that a good pumpkin recipe can provide. It can be sweet, savory, foods, beverages, it doesn’t matter. If it’s pumpkin, gimme!

Since we launched our Bäre tincture this month, I decided to hit the kitchen and start whipping up some pumpkin yummies for my soul and for my tummy. I then immediately remembered that I am actually super lazy and impatient and thus, I’ve created 4, easy AF pumpkin beverage recipes to warm your spirit all through the cold season ahead. Oh, and P.S. they are all Vegan friendly!

Yes, I know most people like to go full speed on the pumpkin pre-halloween, so I may seem like I’m late to the party, but i’m not. I def ordered my first PSL when it was 90 degrees out so I get it, but for me, I really start to crave all those pumpkiny comforts in November. It’s the time of year when I’m pulling out all of my favorite sweaters, feeling that twinge of home sickness, breaking out the holiday music and attempting to journal about my daily gratitudes yet again. That is when I reach for the pumpkin. The nostalgia. The warm fuzzies. Soooo, I am going to go whip up a tasty pumpkin beverage, draw myself a hot bath, drop in a Kush Queen Pumpkin Spice Latte Bath Bomb and turn into the magical pumpkin that I truly am. I highly recommed you do the same.

Bullet Proof Pumpkin Spice Coffee

If you are on that Keto kick this year, I highly recommend this warm, creamy and lightly spiced beverage.

You will need:

6 oz brewed coffee of your choosing

1 full dropper of Bäre Daily Wellness Tincture

½ TBSP Extra Virgin Coconut Oil

1 TBSP Full Fat Coconut Milk

1 TBSP Pumpkin Puree

½ tsp Vanilla Extract

1 tsp Cinnamon Extract

1 tsp Pumpkin Spice

Whip it up:

This is such a simple recipe. You just need to toss all of the ingredients into a blender ( I use a Nutri Bullet) and let it pulse in 30-second increments until all ingredients have fully combined.

This step is not optional. If you simply stir the ingredients the oil will not properly incorporate into the coffee and you will be left with an oily beverage. No thanks. The blending ensures you get a delicious and creamy beverage without the oily feel or aftertaste. Be cautious and take it slow when opening your blender as the heat can cause some pressure to build. Pour it up and Enjoy!

Salted Caramel Pumpkin Smoothie

If you are looking for a tasty breakfast, snack or dessert that will satisfy that pumpkin craving and your sweet tooth, you’re gonna want to try this smoothie!

You will need:

1 Dropper of Bäre Daily Wellness

1 Frozen Banana

1 Cup Apple juice

3 Pitted Dates (Soaked in hot water for 10 minutes)

2 TBSP Pumpkin  Puree

1 tsp Pumpkin Spice

1 tsp Vanilla Extract

1 Pinch sea salt (add in the blender)

1 Pinch coarse sea salt (for topping)

Whip it up:

This recipe will call for your blender as well. Again, simply toss all of your ingredients into the blender and let it go until you get a smooth creamy consistency. You may need to remove the lid and scrape things down once or twice to ensure all of the dates and bananas get broken down to your liking. Pour into your favorite cup (I’m a mug for everything kinda girl), top with a few scoops of this Bäre Whipped Cream recipe, a sprinkle of cinnamon and coarse Sea Salt and enjoy!

Pumpkin Spice French Press Latte

If you want to feel fancy AF, and get a strong, smooth and elegant cup of coffee in your hands, I got you. I love a good cup of french press and this pumpkin spice version steals my heart!

What you will need:

1 dropper Bäre Daily Wellness

2 rounded TBSP Ground Coffee

2 tsp Pumpkin Spice + ½ tsp

6 oz Scalding Water (almost boiling, but not quite)

4 oz Almond Milk (or Milk of your choosing)

2 TBSP Pumpkin Puree

Whip it up:

Heat your water in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add your coffee grounds, and Pumpkin Spice to the French Press. Once the water reaches scalding, add to French Press, and stir well to combine. Add the top and let steep for 5 minutes. Gently press down.

While your coffee is steeping, in your blender, add the milk, Bäre Daily Wellness, ½ tsp of pumpkin spice and pumpkin puree. Blend well until you get a nice froth.

Pour your french pressed coffee into a 12oz or larger cup, add the frothed milk and sweeten to your desired taste.

 

Hot Pumpkin Creme

For any non-coffee drinkers out there, you’ve got to try this recipe. Get all the cozy hot chocolate feels, but in non-dairy, pumpkin alternative. Soooo creamy!!

What you need:

1 dropper Bäre Daily Wellness

8 oz almond milk (or milk of your choosing)

1 tsp Cornstarch

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 TBSP non-dairy creamer (or creamer or choice)

2 TBSP pumpkin Puree

1 tsp pumpkin spice

Whip it up:

In a small bowl mix the cornstarch with 1 TBSP warm water until fully incorporated. Add all remaining ingredients into your blender and blend until smooth. Pour into a small pot, add the cornstarch mixture and bring to a low boil. Reduce heat to low and let heat for 3-5 minutes. Transfer to your favorite mug, add marshmallows, whip cream or a sprinkle or cinnamon (or all three) to complete this tasty beverage.

Happy Thanksgiving.

For us, this day is simply a time to come together, enjoy community, reflect and most importantly, show our gratitude. This year we did a special shoot with a group of ( just a few of) our favorite Kush Queens. Each of them represents something that we are especially grateful for this year.

 

Connection

Inspired by Verita

Over the years cannabis has connected me with all of these incredible people. Our connection to Verita came to be because of Kush Queen products. When she began tagging our brand on social media and showering our brand with love, it felt like we had to have her involved. This year she was featured in our spring/Summer 2018 lookbook, because why hire models when your customers are. Verita symbolizes the very thing that makes every day at Kush Queen so special. We are grateful for connection.

 

Creativity

Inspired by Morgan

Cannabis and creativity go hand and in hand. Morgan has spent the last year taking our photos and telling our story with her creativity. Looking back on our shoots and feeds it feels like flipping through the pages of a scrapbook. Sure, the finished photos are beautiful, but what warms our hearts are the memories of creating them together. From building flower walls to spending countless hours huddled together in bathrooms working toward that perfect Bath Bomb shot. We’ve had a blast, both on and off camera. Without creativity, our lives would be dull and boring, and that’s just not us. In the unknown lies so much beauty and so much adventure. Every time we sit down to plan a shoot, the mystery of what we will do next excites us. We are grateful for creativity.

 

Comedy

Inspired By Wolfie

In 2018, we met a ton of unique challenges, from the first year of legal weed to personal tragedy. We would not have made it through this year without comedy. Laughter was truly our medicine and no one symbolizes that better than Wolfie. Cannabis and comedy simply belong together, and we have been lucky to have the Queen of the Cannabis meme, Wolfie, as part of our team. No matter what life hands us, it’s good to know that around the corner is a really good laugh. We are grateful for comedy.

 

Loyalty

Inspired by Ashley

It’s one thing to find loyalty in success, it’s another to find it on your way to the top. Ashley opened up the very first Kush Queen wholesale account at her dispensary. She believed in this brand from day one and has been with us since inception. Whatever the job required she did it. Modeling for photoshoots, rolling joints, packaging product, sharing our brand at in-store demo’s, and even payroll. She has done it all. Her loyalty to Kush Queen leaves us speechless and will never be forgotten. We are grateful for loyalty.

Community

Inspired by Ben

At Kush Queen, our journey has been anything, but normal. We didn’t start with investors or funding. We are a homegrown brand built off our community & our community intersects with a number of communities. The act of togetherness and the feeling of unity has been vital to the growth of our brand. The past, present, and future of Kush Queen are defined by the word community. Ben is one of those people that makes KQ so special and has brought so many incredible people together this year. Ben inspired us to put real people with real stories in all of our campaigns. There is something so magical about being on a set with authentic stories being brought to life. At the end of many days, we have been brought to tears after wrap knowing we did our small part in representing the world around us. We are grateful for Community.

Fall is one of our favorite seasons, and the scents of the season just feel warm and cozy. From pumpkin to apple, see our favorite fall scented products of the moment!

From candles to bath bombs to deodorant, it seems like everyone wants in on the Pumpkin Spice Latte trend. These PSL-inspired treats are calorie free, so there’s no guilt. If you like fall as much as we do, you have to scroll through the gallery to see our top picks for fall. First of all, to get in the mood, you’ll need to decorate. I love getting in the spirit but there are SO many holidays that I don’t like spending a fortune.
