Autumn is a beautiful season full of colors, but its onset can be challenging for many of us. Shorter days, colder weather and the return to routine after the summer months can bring not only melancholy, but also fatigue and a drop in energy. Fortunately, there are ways to enjoy the beginning of autumn and adapt to this season with ease. We have some tips to help you not only survive, but also really enjoy this magical time of year.


1. Surround yourself with fall colors and decorations


The autumn landscape is full of beautiful colors – from deep red to gold to deep orange. Why not bring these colors home? Decorate your interior with seasonal decorations such as pumpkins, dried flowers or candles in warm shades. In this way, you will create a pleasant and cozy atmosphere that will help you welcome autumn with open arms.


2. Enjoy hygge


The Danish concept of hygge is perfect for autumn. It's about creating a feeling of coziness and well-being - exactly what we need in autumn. Try to find time to relax with a book under a warm blanket, light some candles and make yourself a good cup of tea. Little rituals like these can turn an ordinary day into something special and help you get rid of the autumn phlegm.


3. Pumpkin and Spice Delight


Autumn is a great time to experiment in the kitchen. Pumpkins are a symbol of autumn, whether in the form of pumpkin soup, pie or the popular pumpkin spice latte. Spices such as cinnamon, ginger or cloves add a warm and invigorating taste to food and drink that you will appreciate in autumn. Treat yourself to cooking and baking seasonal meals – it can be not only fun, but also a way to feel better as the colder weather arrives.


4. Treat yourself to a herbal bath


Relax the whole body, but also the mind, which sometimes needs to switch off and just be in the present. Pour herbal salt into the bath water and immerse yourself in its aromatherapeutic aroma. Magnesium-containing Epsom salt relaxes stiff muscles, and herbs such as lavender, mint, chamomile, rose, or lemon balm have calming effects. Enjoy it.

5. Keep active and get outside


While the colder weather tempts you to stay indoors, it's important to keep moving. Physical activity promotes the production of endorphins, which are hormones that improve mood. For example, try starting yoga, which will help you relax your body and mind, or take short daily walks in the fresh air. Movement will give you energy and help you overcome autumn fatigue. Thanks to shortened days and longer nights, our circadian rhythm can be thrown off. So that your body can properly regulate the production of melatonin, the sleep hormone, go out into the daylight for at least a while every day, even when it's cloudy outside. Thanks to this, you will fall asleep better and you will not suffer from autumn fatigue in the morning. In the morning after waking up, let fresh air into the bedroom and spread the sun, so that the daylight wakes you up and invigorates you.


6. Take up hobbies


The beginning of autumn is the perfect time to return to your hobbies or discover new ones. Autumn evenings are perfect for creative activities such as knitting, painting, writing or cooking. Focusing deeply on something you enjoy will help you maintain a positive mood even when it's dark and rainy outside.

7. Chew on chocolate


Munching on quality chocolate has a number of health and psychological benefits that make it a superfood. It contains a number of antioxidants, especially flavonoids, which protect the body from harmful free radicals. Antioxidants help fight cellular aging and reduce the risk of some chronic diseases, including heart disease. It helps lower blood pressure, improves blood circulation. Chocolate contains substances that have a positive effect on mood, such as tryptophan, which turns into serotonin in the body - the "hormone of happiness". The flavonoids in good chocolate can also help protect skin from harmful UV rays and improve skin's hydration and texture.

In addition, our Beauty Bites chocolate contains marine collagen for firm skin, hyaluronic acid, which provides hydration and elasticity, and acerola, which helps fight free radicals, because it is full of vitamin C. And to top it all off, beta glucans take care of your immunity.


8. Plan something to look forward to


Autumn does not have to be only a period of depression, but also a time of new plans and challenges. Plan something to look forward to - it could be an autumn trip, a visit to the markets, starting a new project. Having something on your calendar that makes you happy will help you get through times when you might otherwise feel a drop in energy or mood. On the other hand, if you have been experiencing a hectic period until then, autumn is ideal for relaxing. You can treat yourself to rest, more time for yourself. No regrets.
