🍁 The Ultimate Autumn Checklist: Book Recs, Cozy Clothes, Financial Tips, & More!

COMMUNITY CHAT: What is the best money tip you've ever recieved?

Why, hello, hello, my friend…

I’m baaaack! 👋🏼

After a two-week break to ease into my maternity leave, I’m returning to your inbox with fresh weekly posts.

Note: Most of the posts you’ll receive over the next few months were pre-written this summer to prepare for my maternity leave in advance. I’m now adding the finishing touches— doing final edits, creating graphics, and including a few current updates and relevant links in real time ◡̈ Here’s a peek at my current editing spot ⬇️

Reporting live! There is so much I could say about the arrival of these twins, but I’ll save it all for a very thorough postpartum update coming next month! 🥰 But in a nutshell? I am very at peace, veryyy milky, and very, VERY sleepy 🤪

And today, it’s time for our autumn R.E.S.E.T. 🍁☕️🧥🕯

This quarterly, seasonal version of the R.E.S.E.T. is one of my favorite parts of my newsletter! It dives deeper than our typical Sunday edition— brimming with comprehensive, season-specific recommendations to embrace the current time of year.

From holistic health tips to curated clothing recommendations, reading recommendations, food ideas, journal prompts, and alllllll sorts of good stuff, this R.E.S.E.T. is packed with everything to make your autumn feel extra cozy, healthy, and intentional.

💬 And if that wasn’t enough, the thing that truly sets a seasonal R.E.S.E.T. apart is the community brainstorm that takes place in the comment section. (Think back to past topics like book recommendations and unique hobbies to try)

And this season’s community chat?

What’s the best financial advice you’ve ever received?

It could be anything—a savings trick, a money mindset, a helpful app, a specific book, a negotiation technique, or beyond.

But whatever it is, drop your wisdom in the comments so we can all learn (and save!) together ⬇️

…But before we get to that, here’s what we are covering today!

• 📚READING: 2 book recommendations for cozy season—one fiction and one nonfiction.
  

• 🤩ENJOYING: A mood board of my fall favorites—complete with my very specific autumn clothing “uniform,” productivity inspo, holistic health hacks, and more.
  

• 🛍️ SETS: Something about fall just calls for matching sets?! I’m rounding up the coziest, chicest options I could find— at every price point (starting at $32!)
  

• 🥗EATING: Apparently October is National Cookbook Month? In honor of this monumental time, I am sharing 4 very practical cookbooks (a.k.a. the ones I actually reach for on hectic, low-energy weeknights).
  

• 💰 TALKING ABOUT: Then, we’ll dive into our community prompt for the season: what’s the best money tip you’ve ever received? I always have such concrete takeaways and aha moments from these conversations!

Ya ready? Wrap yourself in that cozy sweater and let’s dive in —

Alright, first up, two reading recs—

For fiction, I just downloaded this one onto my Kindle last night after my mom couldn’t stop raving about it.

She said it feels like a modern-day take on “Little Women” and that she just had to stay up late to see how it ended…
