Oh my gosh, cutie pies!
Fall is one of the most exciting seasons of the year! Pumpkin spice latte is back on Starbucks (not me naming my sugary coffee addiction), leaves start to change into the beautiful orange, red, and burnt browns colors, I get to wipe the dust off my boots, it's scarf season and curly heads go into straight hair mode with confidence because they know their style will last.
I've been on Pinterest trying to get the Fall/Autumn vibes going and pinning away all fall vibes and coziness finds that I could find. As I was pinning, I noticed that I was gravitating more towards the burnt yellow/ mustard self-care must-haves because this color is so warm and cheerful that it screams Gratitude.
While I love all things Fall, it's a little hard to enjoy the scenery outside when you live in Sunny Florida (U.S.) where it looks like Summer most days out of the year. You REALLY have to look for those deciduous trees while sipping on your pumpkin spice latte to get your fall vibes. And yes, as a Floridian, I do have to agree that I, too, hang on to that 1 week a year where the weather gets a bit cooler than usual. Hey, we take all we can get down here!
Because I live in a relatively HOT humid State year-round, I have to do my best to set the mood for myself at home. Mainly because I am an introverted home-body that becomes one with my house after a long day of work.
As a toddler mom though, most of my home looks like a daycare field day after a long day so I have to do my best to keep my sanity by finding small Fall details that help me get cozy during my few seconds of ME time even when my daughter is demanding attention.
Today, I want to share 7 cozy at-home finds that can help you get in the Fall/Autumn mood in no time. If you have a knack for mustard or burnt yellows, this post is for you. And no worries, everything you can find in Amazon.
If you're an Amazon (*cough* whore...I mean lover) like me, below I am sharing where to locate these awesome little finds so you can get cozy at home too. These finds are affordable and also make perfect gifts for the holidays.

The Studded Tumbler
A few of my co-workers have gotten me into the Studded Tumbler vibes. I work in a call center that helps out college students take their first step toward their career dreams. So, of course, naturally, you need to stay hydrated after so much talking in the day.
The studs on this tumbler almost give you a subtle massage against your palm. You can brush your hands around the tumbler or if you're into ASMR, stroke your fingernails across the studs (hey, live your best life!). Honestly, this tumbler comes in different colors, so check out what colors Amazon offers if you like this product but wish it came in a different color.
You can put water, tea, iced coffee, (mom survival "grape" juice), whatever your heart desires. It's great to take with you on the road and large enough to keep you sipping for a while.
The Scented Candle
I don't about you but I sure love a good-smelling candle to unwind at the end of a busy day. Not only am I a mom of a little living tornado that lives in my living room but also a whisker mom. The scented candle for pet lovers not only is pleasing to the nose but can eliminate pet odors when the little box is starting to whiff unpleasantness is an absolute must in my household.
The Classic Bunny Slippers
Okay, so those of you who know me very well also know that in my house we wear socks all day long or house slippers. I personally love these classic bunny slippers because all of us have that inner child that needs spoiling once in a while.
Not only do these golden bunny slippers keep your toes warm and protect you against cold tile, but it's also super fun to see when you look down at your feet. I mean, who doesn't love the cuteness of bunny ears?
The gold lashes and whiskers are a whole mood as well! When you're picking up after a toddler all day long, it's not a bad thing to put something on your feet that will make you smile every single time you need to bend down to pick toys off the floor.
These bunny slippers shout cozy self-love so definitely a must for the home this Fall. After all, a happy mom means a happy household (because we keep everything functioning).
The Super Soft Blanket
Need a new super soft blanket to get comfy on your couch or bed at the end of the day? Or maybe to enjoy that fresh cup of coffee or tea before you start your day? I found this soft blanket with awesome reviews that will meet the criteria of cozy and comfy. I own lots of blankets and sherpas at home but I am also the type of person who feels one cannot have too many blankets, especially when you welcome many visits from family throughout the year.
There is a bigger purpose to this blanket, it's not just about ME time but you gotta keep loved ones warm when they come to your home! Honestly, if you ask me, it's a win-win.
The Self-Care Book
Everyone needs a self-care check-in once in a while. This Self-Care Check-In book offers practical reflective exercises that allow you to check in on yourself for those busy days or rough weeks.
A guided journal is a powerful tool to have at your disposal when you're trying to build healthy habits during ME time. This is a good alternative in place of addictive social media apps OR if you just a little quiet time for yourself to think and write.
This self-care check is just under $12 bucks and has over 1.1k reviews. If journaling or self-help journals is not for you, this is still an awesome gift for someone you love that may need to check in with themselves once in a while.
The Turmeric Mud Mask
You can never go wrong with turmeric and skin care. As a brown-skinned woman, my skin s
cares rather easily with just any scratch, bump, or breakout. A turmeric mud mask can help minimize the appearance of scars and acne, balances out uneven skin tones, and fight against aging.
On the note of aging, did you know that your best years for collagen production is really between the ages of 20 and 25? After 25, we start losing collagen in our bodies so it's important to take care of your skin as part of a self-care routine if you're getting closer to your 30s or already hit the mark but have not been focusing on your skin too much.
Turmeric brightens the skin very well if used consistently. Some say it takes 4-6 weeks for optimal results. Additionally, mud masks are known to get the facial blood circulation going under the skin while getting rid of impurities. Mud masks also help moisturize and refresh tired skin by making appear brighter and softer. Now I don't know about ya'll, but ever since I turned into my 30s and became a mother, all my skin knows is "tired". But it's time to change that!
The Comfy Lounge Set
Finally, your Fall pick-me-up cannot be complete if you don't have something comfy to wear around the home. As you're dragging your golden bunny slippers throughout the house, get comfy with a comfy lounge set.
I personally love this combination of shorts and long sleeves because Fall doesn't get very chilly where I'm from. Since I am constantly moving around the house and picking up after my toddler, I like to have unrestricted legs at home where I can bend freely without worrying whether my bottoms are too tight.
This set comes in different colors too and there is also a yellow option if you want to keep all things mustard in your shopping spree. For me though, I think this soft brown hits the spot for my golden bunny slippers and blanket. It is a perfect cozy outfit that you can wear all day at home or even to make quick errands.
Look, at the end of the day, you gotta find little pleasures in life that keep you going through the day at home.
I hope these 7 small but cozy at-home Amazon must-haves not only get you in the Fall/Autumn vibes but also that it makes your few seconds of ME time more relaxing. 'Cus girl, you're worth it.
