Fall and self-care, a couple of my favourite things! If you’ve been one of my readers for a bit, I’m sure by now you know that I’m a firm believer that self-care needs to be made a priority.
And what better way to create and apply self-care into our routines by making it a fun *insert season here* inspired theme!
Fall brings all the cozy vibes. From wearing comfy socks and sweaters, cozying up by the fire with a warm blanket, going out into nature and seeing all the fall colours to the delicious aroma of fall baked goods.. I could go on but I think you feel my vibe.
Self-Care tends to get “lost” or “put on the back burner” when life gets a little crazy.
Which is why I love making these fun self-care lists (like my 14 day self care challenge) as a reminder of all the nice things we can do for our wellness and to keep us happy and committed to our self-care and wellbeing.
Feel free to spice these ideas up with your own additional ideas and have fun!
Unique Fall Ideas for Self-Care and Wellness!
Light a fall scented candle
From campfire scents, sweater weather and pumpkin pie – There are so many different scents to get you into the fall spirit and have your house smelling amazing!
Go for a scenic fall drive
Grab a cozy flannel, a warm beverage and take a nice backroad drive to see all the pretty fall colours. A nice music playlist would work well for this too!
Make a homemade soup
A nice warm soup on a fall day is such a comforting feeling. Some fall soups could include: Squash Soup, Zucchini Soup and Pumpkin Soup but any soup is delicious in the fall time!
Go pumpkin Picking
Look up a local pumpkin patch, grab a warm beverage and go for a nice pumpkin picking day out.
Make a gratitude/Thankful list
With Thanksgiving falling in the fall time, practicing gratitude is the perfect time. Take this time to reflect on three things you are most grateful for at this time in your life & why.
Pumpkin Carving/Painting
Have a fun solo or group night to carve/paint some pumpkins. A classic fall-inspired activity that I still love to do every single fall.
Wear Your Cosiest sweater and socks
Nothing more cozy than an oversized sweater and fluffy socks!
Go shopping for fall-themed decor
I love a good mini haul for seasonal decor to make my space more cozy. Visit your favourite store or thrift shop for some cute fall finds!

Feeling creative? Pinterest a cute fall DIY to add to your fall decor. A great idea could be a cute fall wreath for your front door.

So many pretty colours at the orchards this time of year!

I absolutely love pumpkin a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g. From pumpkin cookies, pie, bread, cakes, the possibilities are endless… and delicious.
Have a fall photoshoot
Fall is such a beautiful time for photos with all the colours. You could even plan ahead for a christmas card you might want to send out later!
Cozy up and watch scary movies
Grab a warm blanket, lots of pillows and many snacks and throw on a good scary movie you’ve always wanted (or maybe not actually wanted) to see.
Have a campfire
Grab a cozy blanket and roast some smores by the fire!
Have a fall-themed bath
I love my baths year-round and more so within the cooler months! Grab some colourful fall leaves (rinse them first), some fall-themed bubble bath or fall essential oils (bergamot, cedarwood and juniper are some ideas) and some epsom salts and make a zen fall-themed bath!
Go FOr A picnic
Enjoy the fresh crisp fall air and colours while enjoying a nice outdoor picnic!

Pumpkin seeds are a simple snack to make. Just wash and dry your seeds, spread them out on a baking sheet and sprinkle some salt/your fave spices and bake in the oven! A delicious little fall-themed snack.
Go to a corn maze
I remember always doing this as a kid and okay yes, still as an adult. It’s such a fun fall activity to do with a friend and release your inner child we all know we have!
Drink fall themed drink
Go to your favourite coffee shop and order a fall-themed drink to enjoy!
Have a game night
One of my favourite things to do when the weather starts to get chilly is have game nights with friends and family. Grab your favourite board game and have some fun with good company!
Go For A Fall Hike
Fall-themed lookouts are incredible to see and there are so many beautiful colours.
Go To A Drive In
This time of year the drive ins will probably be playing some more of the spooky-themed movies. And if you like a good thrill, you can grab some comfy clothes and blankets and go for a nice drive-in date with a friend or spouse!

Cuddle up in your cozies and read a good book.
Spooky Wagon Ride
Another fall classic – you could enjoy a spooky wagon ride if you’re one for the spooky thrill or even just a regular hayride as a fun fall activity.
