Promising reviews: "I saw the name and cover art for this book, and I swear it sang a siren song to me, and I HAD to have it! This is the perfect book for those who are spooky at heart and love to cook. When I originally looked at this book, I assumed it would be a cookbook with some small snippets of ghost stories in it, but instead, I was surprised to find a history of haunted places sprinkled with ghost stories and a partnering recipe, which I LOVE!! Bruni includes menus at the end of the book to pair the various recipes together. I love the idea of sharing a ghost story with each course.
Bruni, please come out with a Part Two!" — allison farnen "I am IN LOVE with this book. Its gorgeous photography, combined with unique recipes and stories of hauntings and the paranormal from across the country, results in something that’s more than just a cookbook. It’s an experience.
And one that I am having a blast sharing with my friends and family as I whip up one delicious dish after another! Highly recommend." — daphne Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (also available in an audio book and Kindle version).

It's rich, buttery, nutty goodness will put you under a trance and have you craving about 32 cups of coffee a day. Oh yessss, I definitely had to get my hands on these bad boys. Butter pecan is my all-time favorite Dunkin' flavor, there is nothing better, and I will die on that hill.
A butter pecan iced coffee with oat milk SLAPS. So when I saw that I could have this delectable flavor right at home without spending $6 a day, I had to have it. And, omg, as soon as I drink the last drop, I begin to look forward to my morning coffee for the next morning.
Like, I just drank the coffee pictured above, and I want another so so bad. I haven't tried to make it iced simply because I want one of those TikTok-popular HyperChillers so I don't end up with a watered-down latte. But it's all good; it's SO tasty hot.
So tasty that it's 89 degrees in Maryland, and I don't even mind drinking some hot-as-heck coffee in hot-as-heck weather. I'm obsessed; this is now my coffee of choice and a perfect flavor for fall. You won't regret giving this a try.

5. A flannel shacket that'll have you *so* excited for pumpkin spiced everything and chilly weather. You have to have a plaid jacket for fall, there's no debating it, and this one is simply perfection.
Promising reviews: " I’m a huge flannel girl, and this one did not disappoint. Because of the fit, I probably could have sized down, but I usually go with large flannels due to my broad shoulders. I love the look and fabric of this flannel and can't wait to wear it in the fall.
It's not as thick as some of my other flannels, but it will still keep you warm because the material is still on the thicker side. The flannel also came to about the top of my mid-thigh. I like mine longer, so this would work good for taller girls too.
" — Sarah "This is so comfy and cozy. I used this as we transitioned from winter to spring/summer in Wisconsin. It’s warm enough on slightly chilly mornings but not so overwhelmingly hot that you’re smothered in the afternoon.
" — Anonymous Get it from Amazon for $22.39+ (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and in 27 colors). 6.

Great artwork as well to keep as a collection." — Sarah Get it from Amazon for $20 . 7.

Great quality. It does the job, and the smells are heavenly! Everyone knows how amazing Burt's Bees is already, so I won't go into detail, but here are some reasons why I love this brand: natural ingredients, effective products, fairly priced, and lasts a while.

Promising reviews: "New skin.
..who's this! Powerhouse indeed! This is definitely a game-changer! This mask did everything.
The smell is light but very pleasant. It was super to apply, and the tingling was very mild. After rinsing, my face felt so smooth.
Super pleased. Will be buying another jar later on." — MsCho "This stuff is great.
I use it after microneedling or microdermabrasion. After getting a facial, I was told to exfoliate and then use an enzyme mask to get into those pores and break up all the gunk. I am 40, and my skin is changing with more hormonal, deep acne around my jawline.
The stinging is minimal and goes away, and I have sensitive skin. I only use it once a week." — Rachel Roxbrough Get it from Amazon for $12.
34 (available in two other styles). 12. A Vanilla Sky perfume by Skylar Clean Beauty that'll quickly become your go-to fall scent.

And did I get it because Leah from Love Island uses it? You better believe I did and have zero shame about it cuz our girl gave us a fire recommendation. I found my signature fall scent! When I wear this and get a whiff of it on myself, I feel like I've walked into heaven. Like, really, this has to be what it smells like up there.
It's dainty and sweet but not too sweet (very mindful, very demure). The other day, when I was hanging out with a friend, she went to throw her purse in the back seat and got close enough to smell me.

Thanks, Leah, girl! Vanilla lovers, grab this. Get it from Sephora for $90 and Amazon for $90 . 13.
A nonstick harvest bounty loaf pan that'll have all your pumpkin and apple bread looking like they were made in a bakery. Impressed is an understatement when it comes to this beautiful autumn design. Promising review: "I was worried that the cake would break when unmolded, but after a 15-minute cooling period, I turned it over, and it popped out in perfect shape! Lovely and very impressive.

15. A granite stone electric pizza oven because fancy restaurant–style pies + friends + wine + spooky movies + chilly weather and blankets sounds like a total fall vibe. It'll feel like you traveled to Italy for some yummy brick oven 'za when *really* you made it in your living room in under six minutes.
OOOH! And! You can whip up ooey, gooey cinnamon buns, *frozen pie*, quesadillas, and apple puffs in this baby, too! Fall treats and pepperoni pies = autumn heaven. And, of course, TikTok is basically feral over this bad boy. Check it out for yourself! Be careful and read the instructions! This thing gets suuuper hot (up to 800 degrees!), and you don't wanna pile ingredients up too high, or they'll burn on the little electric lamps.
And be sure to continuously check on it! I have this and have used it three times, and I've burned my pizza every time because I only checked on it every three minutes. It's tasty burnt, so I know it's gonna SLAP when I don't have to eat around the charred areas. Gonna keep trying until I get it right because pizza is my fave food.
Promising review: "I cannot stress enough to read the instructions. Have used it a few times and have had basically good results. To avoid the mistake I made, make sure your toppings are not near the edge.
This is a lot different than using a standard oven. I put the toppings too close, and my house looked like a smokehouse. Overall, it lives up to the hype.
Once preheated, it cooked a homemade pizza in six minutes and was perfect! I love the temp gauge on the front, as well as the separate controls for the bottom and top coil. Allows you to control the cook speed on each side. Love the wooden slats to grab the pizza.
And the bonus scraper makes removing the residue from the stone a breeze. A bonus feature I discovered was the suction-cup grips on the bottom, which I assume are to hold the unit in place to avoid accidentally bumping and moving it. I put mine on a glass-top stove because it does get hot.
One other piece of advice...
practice makes perfect. You will be a whiz with this in no time. " — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $129.

A friend recommended this to me, and the price had me feeling a little guilty (I mean, come on, I could just microwave my drink, right?), but after the fourth time, I lost my cup, and it was still hot when I found it, I stopped feeling guilty. I can read and drink my tea and not rush. Seriously my favorite mug.

It tastes like a homemade pumpkin pie made by someone who knows how to bake . No bitterness at all, and the flavors shine through. Not sickening like some pumpkin-y seasonal fad foods.
This would be good on ice cream, on a pie, in a coffee, or just a little 'taste' now and then. It wasn't super cheap, but the fact that you don't have to pour it on like pancake syrup to get any flavor is great. You don't need a lot.
Trust me. THIS IS A KEEPER. PUMPKIN SAUCE RULES! " — Layne McD " Better than Starbucks! I love this! Don’t like pumpkin spice flavor, but I enjoy pumpkin pie! This was much more like pumpkin pie.
