Autumnal Self-Care
Auntie Carla with our Great Grandpa Carl's truck that we fully restored.
As the autumn leaves paint the Pacific Northwest in hues of gold and crimson, it's the perfect time to indulge in a little self-care. A premium L&K handbag, handcrafted in Portland from the finest Pendleton wool and designed with meticulous attention to detail, can be a luxurious addition to your autumnal self-care routine. But of course, it's not the only way to nourish your mind and soul đź’›.
Mom and our sweet senior rescue, Bauer. Who's the bestest boy!
Here are some practices that I truly enjoy during Autumn.
Embrace a Quiet & Cozy Bookstore: Lose yourself in the pages of a captivating novel or explore the shelves for a new favorite author. I really love the quick reads by Wendy Webb. The quiet ambiance and the comforting scent of old books can provide a soothing escape from the raucous of daily chaos. I highly recommend your neighborhood library and Powell’s if you’re in Portland.
Indulge in the Mindful Practice of Jigsaw Puzzles: The intricate pieces and the satisfying click of them fitting together can offer a meditative and calming experience. It's a wonderful way to disconnect from the digital world and focus on the present moment. I just recently discovered the sweet designs by Janet Hill. Her Halloween puzzles are adorable.
Nourish Your Body with Seasonal Delights: Incorporate autumnal flavors into your diet. If you have not tried Smith Tea’s Autumn Leaves, go get a box now. Bigelow and Celestial Seasonings also offer really affordable and delicious teas for under $4. Enjoy hearty soups, roasted vegetables, and comforting stews. My favorite to make is a spicy pumpkin chili. The seasonal produce from your neighborhood farmer’s market can provide essential nutrients and boost your mood. My favorite neighborhood market is the Hollywood Farmer’s Market off of Sandy Blvd.
By combining these self-care practices and warmth of a L&K handbag made of Pendleton wool, you'll create a truly autumnal experience that will feel like a comforting embrace on a crisp autumn day. Remember, self-care is about finding what works best for you and that can be as simple as saying “no” to leaving the house. So, whether it's a cozy evening at home or a day out exploring trails with crunchy leaves, make time for activities that bring you joy and peace.
The Autumn Collection will be released September 26th. When you’re subscribed to the L&K Newsletter you’ll receive first access to the Autumn Collection.
Love,
Jessie, owner and Autumn Lover
