As we welcome October, let’s take the time to fully appreciate the little joys this month brings, ensuring we cherish every moment of the season. Here are three delightful activities to help you make the most of October:

1) Indulge in a cozy fall candle. Is there a better season for enjoying candles? We think not. Explore our favorite fall scents—ranging from cedar and sandalwood to the quintessential pumpkin spice.

2) Surprise a neighbor or friend with some homemade baked goods. Sweet treats are a wonderful way to show loved ones that you're thinking of them.

3) Adorn your front porch with autumn decorations. We certainly enjoy embellishing our spaces with pumpkins to enhance curb appeal this time of year. Additionally, consider adding large outdoor hurricane lanterns to complete the seasonal look.
