In UAE we barely have seasons. We have summer all year long. 

Usually, we call Summer when the temperatures reach the 47/50 degrees and Winter when the temperatures are 30/35 degrees. 

Being here for 2 years, I miss the winter and the cold. It's funny how we don't appreciate the small things and then we don't have them we missed them.
When I want to go to my country now I go on Winter. Portugal is so beautiful and coming from Cascais by the sea I love the summer. So everyone ask me why I don't go in summer when the Lisbon has the unique light in Terreiro do Paço or when we can enjoy the blue of the sky and the sea meeting each other.  I always reply I have Summer all year. I want to enjoy the Winter.

So now everyone is welcoming the Fall and Fall colors. And I thought why not to have the smell of Fall at home? How? Bringing candles with Fall smells to home. I even found the perfect DIY for this.
So when we think about Fall we think about the warm of a fireplace or a good sweater, the falling leaves, the flavors of Cinnamon, Warm Vanilla or Spiced Pumpkin.

Check my suggestions and the DIY: 

Materials:

• Cinnamon sticks
• Vanilla Candle
