It might still feel like summer in LA (hello 90° heat 🥵), but I’m determined to bring in the cozy fall vibes anyway. So I put my glass pot on the stove and tossed in some old apples, a few cloves, star anise, and rosemary stems. Within minutes, the house smelled like spiced apples and herbs — warm, cozy, and so perfectly autumn. 🍏 ✨ Honestly, it’s my favorite way to make the season feel like it’s here, even when the weather says otherwise! Just use what you already have on hand — orange peels, cinnamon sticks, even leftover herbs. It’s such a simple ritual that instantly makes your home feel festive and welcoming for fall. Here in SoCal, we may not get crisp mornings and crunchy leaves, but little moments like this make it feel just as magical. 🌿🍂 simmerpot firstdayoffall fallvibes seasonalliving cozyvibes fallaesthetic
