SOME OF MY JOYS OF FALL 🍁
Crisp, cool air:
A refreshing change from summer's heat, I personally can't stand the hot summer days even once the sun went down it was still just to hot out for me.
My air conditioners were definitely one of my summer highlights lol. Michigan has had some unseasonably warm weather some would call it an (Indian summer)
But it's been cooler out lately, allowing me to finally enjoy spending some time on my balcony.
The peace of mind just sitting out there, without having to swat and fight flying insects is an absolute joy of fall!
Quiet mornings:
The calm and stillness of fall mornings, praying, having a cup of pumpkin spice coffee with some international delight creamer (sweet & creamy) or maybe, Yogi Honey Lavender or Celestial Tention Tamer teas, journaling and reading some scriptures, feed my spirit and soul. Inhaling what is to come, and exhaling what has to go!
Those things set the tone of my day especially after a good nights sleep, waking up feeling refreshed, and reset with discipline ready to start my day.
Giving another opportunity to be better than the day before, my self validation, and my faith are definitely the motivation behind my determination.
And the decisions and choices that I make for my life.
Embracing that simplicity speaks volumes, chronicling my calm, peace and clarity.🌤️☕
Cozy sweaters:
The comfort of warm, soft layers it can be a pair of fuzzy socks, a flannel and sweat pants, lounge set or some pj's. I absolutely love it! There's nothing like curling up with a plush blanket, a good book, a nice fall candle and a hot beverage of choice🍵
Harvest Time:
The abundance of, fresh seasonal produce turns out I actually like squash and zucchini. Fall is the perfect time to pair them with a smoked sausage and onions for a tasty skillet dish ( my momma enjoyed that dish as well) There is a new farmers market opening near me very soon and I'm super duper happy about the convenience of the location. I will feel much better getting my fruits and veggies from there than a regular grocery store.🥦🍊
Vibrant Foliage:
The beauty of leaves changing colors, I really love the deep burgundy ones I think that they are very pretty.
I love to see them when they are falling from the trees when there's enough wind for them to just kind of float down to the ground.
Autumn is the season that shows us change can be beautiful. I'm so ready for the radiant leaves and crisp breeze.🍃🍂
Comfort foods:
Hearty soups, stews, chili , casseroles and baked goodies that warm the soul. Some of my favorite soups to make are zuppa tascano, chicken tortilla, I like chicken and dumplings, baked ziti, banana nut, or zucchini bread, and the list could go on and on!
My love for casseroles came from my momma, she would make them for my sister's and I growing up ,the hamburger casserole was a simple yet big hit.
She taught me how to make pizza, and don't even get me started on her meatballs and gravy. Priceless memories to cherish, I have lots of homemade / semi homemade recipes to recreate and reminisce about.🍝🥧

My story
My passion for skin and body care started as a young girl mixing and matching my grandmother's Avon lotions and perfumes together , I even took my first milk bath around maybe the age of twelve. Evaporated can milk was easy to sneek up sixteen stairs. I think I saw it on the show Dynasty, as I got older and became more interested in the science behind skin care ,
I began to understand the importance of a good consistent daily regimen routine at a young age. I am always reading the ingredients on the back of labels, and now looking for the best ingredients for body, beard, skin and bath care.
I have been using my facial products since 2018 and after launching my line in 2020 I am delighted to share my collection with you again.
In this new chapter I'm ecstatic to bring my personal stories, insights, tips, daily affirmations and more through my blog SIMPLICITY CHRONICLES ;
I started the blog in 2023 but this is the first time it will be front and center, my vision has shifted to my blog but my commitment to provide quality products for wellness essentials remains unchanged. And they are still just as gentle on your wallets ,as they are on your skin.
I pour my heart into what I do and truly enjoy creating, I'm still brainstorming with the blog stay tuned there's more to come!
