hey everyone it's Morgan Yates and for today's video I wanted to do a good old-fashioned
favorites video I'm going to be sharing some things I've been loving so far this fall so
we're gonna go through some Amazon items some Target items lots of Home Decor in there some
food and drink favorites just like some fall activity ideas and just sharing the things that
I've been loving so far over the past few weeks so everything I talk about in this video is going to
be linked below let's just get right into it if you're here just for the Amazon favorites we're
starting with that so first up if you saw my last video which is called host a dinner party with me
I will have it linked I thought that was a very fun video but in that video I purchased these
placemats from Amazon that are just these woven circular ones I think they are so cute they're
giving me like those earthy fall Vibes and it was just a nice switch up for me from like a
normal cloth uh place mat that I typically use so I think these would be really cute to just spice
up your like normal at-home fall table setting or with friendsgiving and Thanksgiving coming
up I think these could be a great addition to your table next up I have been absolutely loving using
really fun tapered candle holder so at Amazon I got I'm gonna break this pumpkin before this video
is over so on Amazon I found these like What's this called travertine little candle holders
they came in a set of two I'll also link the tapered candles I get I ordered just like a big
pack from Amazon to keep me stocked up they're like the dripless candles so you don't get wax
everywhere which is nice for preserving these just for fall you know we all love like setting
a moody atmosphere and I think having a bunch of tapered candles around your space are just a cute
way to set that cozy Vibe with like a little bit of an upscale touch I am gonna throw in just while
we're on that topic a Target alternative just picked up these from Target so another little
set very similar lastly also at Target I got this little marble dual candle holder and I'm excited
to place these throughout my space next I've been really loving for the month of October this is a
little bit more Halloween I suppose but I've set up a very elaborate like Halloween movie night
like just TV setup and what I think really made this aside from all the light up pumpkins that
are from Target I'll link those those are like a favorite necessarily but if you're wanting to
recreate this I think what really made this setup was having these bats on the wall so these came
in a pack from Amazon that I probably only used like a fourth to maybe a third of the bats that
it came with it came with so many and it also included some adhesive little strips to just
peel and stick on the back of all of those so it was very fast and I just think it's cute the bats
look like they're like flying off the wall and it's a fun fall touch so next in a second I'm
going to show some fun little fall faces I've got but from Amazon a really good vase filler
is this pompous grass set it came with a lot and it's like a variety which I like and for
my needs it came with enough to fill a couple of vases throughout my house with this I know
it's been training for a minute but I just think that that's a fun little fall Decorative Touch to
add to your home lastly from Amazon something that I've personally been really into lately
that I've talked about over on my Vlog channel is scrapbooking it's been like a fun little
creative hobby for me to pick up that's like not tied to work anyway and it's just been like
a good creative outlet for me I got this little I don't know if this is meant to be a scrapbook
um but just this little plain book from Amazon um that just has a ton of blank pages in here let
me give you an example scrapbook page I just wanted something blank and and that was like
normal paper so I could write on it again just fall colors here now moving into Target which is
what I am the most excited for so first I can start with some items here behind me so I got
um this vase from Target despite the fact that you just saw the outrageous pumpkins that are in
front of my TV right now um that was actually for a brand deal so that stuck around because
I do like like the vibe for watching movies at night however before that I've seen some videos
on Tick Tock they were talking about just like understated fall decor and like the difference
between like creating a fall vibe from like normal decorative items that are kind of like subtly fall
versus like those overtly Halloween or fall items like a bunch of pumpkins like all these bats and
Halloween items I have everywhere so I ended up kind of going against it but in the beginning I
wanted to purchase just like some fall vases to just kind of bring in more like warm colors into
my house because I think most things I have in here are kind of cooler toned I have these like
gray blue chairs my cabinets are gray so I was trying to just like bring the fall warm Vibes with
this face and I just filled with some dry flowers so if you ever don't want to buy something to fill
your bases with you can just get second life out of any flowers that you arrange yourself you just
turn them upside down like tie string around them and let them fully dry out upside down two more
just along the same lines I got this one which I think is so cute which is more of like a pottery
Vibe it has like some little speckle details going on here there's some texture and I just think this
one's really cute I don't think I'm actually gonna put anything in this one necessarily just because
I think it stands alone quite nicely and then lastly this guy's taller than me we got I picked
out this like orangey red one it's kind of like a clay color um I wanted a tall vase that I could
get some fun decorative what are these called like sprays is that what this is called it's never made
sense to me but it's also a Target I just got this little set it's like tri-color dried floral Vibe
and so again this is pretty tall once all is over my plan is just to put these in storage and still
use this face in my kitchen next for some pumpkins that aren't bright orange so this is more of like
what I would have expected myself to buy shark has a bunch of really cute neutral pumpkins so if
you're someone like me who just doesn't have the most color in your home and you you enjoy sticking
to that like I do there's just a really great selection at Target also got this color these
are fragile and a couple small options as well yeah I just think these are really tasteful and
cute also at Target I picked up a couple of these little pumpkin mugs I try not to collect like
seasonal mugs necessarily because I have plenty and like how many mugs does a person need but I
just thought these were really cute you know what better way to drink your pumpkin spice latte than
from a little pumpkin and then lastly from Target I've not bought a new blanket in a really long
time just because again I have tons of neutral Staples already but I saw this one that is like
such a cozy fall color it's not like obnoxious in your face Orange it's like a nice muted cozy
color and it is my favorite fabric that I don't know how to say so and have it on screen but if
you guys have ever owned anything like this you know this is like the softest thing you could
put on your body so this has been my blanket of choice lately and you can just display this on
your couch on your bed and just bring that added fall texture to your space next in terms of fall
scents I love a pumpkin candle as much as the next person I just get mine at Target it but
in addition to that my favorite fragrance kind of year round but I feel like it deserves a mention
for fall is this one from PF candle co uh called Teakwood and tobacco it's not all the way to what
I would classify as like a masculine scent I think it's very neutral I don't know it's just that like
cozy earthy Vibe I love any kind of I've learned this recently any kind of like tobacco candle
found on the other day I really wanted it was 110 that was ridiculous so I didn't get it but
um this is much more affordable and I have this fragrance and candle as well as this linen spray
and I just always get mine from Amazon so maybe if you're wanting to switch up your fragrances
this fall to something other than pumpkin I would really recommend that so that wraps up kind of my
fall home decor and like product purchases lately but I thought I would also share some more like
lifestyle fall favorites as well first in the food and drink category I have not been drinking a lot
really ever since I got back from my summer in Europe actually maybe once a week I'll have like
one to two drinks lately it's been less than that I am gonna have a time at my Halloween party here
in a couple weeks but what I was going to say is that the only drink I have been like crazy
you being this fall is a screwball old fashioned so screwball is that like peanut butter whiskey
I've loved it for years and recently they worked with me over on Instagram and I made
a little peanut butter old-fashioned for like my post about them and it is so good I cannot stop
making it the recipe on screen is just so good that's just like the only drink I want it's so
simple also this would not go in what I just said but I think having some dried Citrus on hand for
like a cocktail garnish I think it's really cute I got these at the farmer's market because I didn't
want to spend the time making these myself but you can just Google how to do this I'm pretty sure you
just put them in the oven on like a really low heat for like four or five hours it's a really
long time I actually think these are such a fun little garnish maybe if you're making any fall
or Halloween cocktails other than that I guess for the fall I enjoy drinking an IPA here and
there at Trader Joe's they come out with like a bunch of like pumpkin and just fall beers and I
just think it's fun to try some of those so for food I'm trying to be a soup girl this year so
I have lots of soup recipes saved on Tick Tock that I want to make soon but I've been loving
making a recipe I shared in a premium this week of easy meals video which was this like loaded
veggie miso soup that had some chicken dumplings in there it is just so hearty and delicious and
I could just eat it every night of the week so I'll have that recipe linked if you're looking
to add a fall inspired meal to your rotation and then for some fall activities I kind of just said
this but something I love doing every fall is doing like a I've always I always have someone
over for this but so do like an at-home little beer flight tasting session with all the pumpkin
beers at Trader Joe's but if you didn't know you can just create your own assortment you don't have
to buy the whole six-pack you can get like one of a million different things bring them home a few
years ago I got this beer flight set off Amazon that was such a good purchase because I whip it
out a couple of times every year it's just such a fun thing to do at home that I really enjoy
if you're not a drinker you could also do like a little tasting flight thing of like the pumpkin
foods at Trader Joe's so that could be fun and then just things I've been looking forward to
this month or that I have already done and enjoyed specific to La I recently went to this Knights of
the Jacks Halloween experience I guess it's like a really long trail that has been set up with a
ton of lights and pumpkins that are like themed in different sections and it was just a fun like cute
wholesome experience and another thing I'm looking forward to this month is my sister Meredith is
visiting from North Carolina and we're gonna be going to this Candlelight I keep getting ads for
this on like all social media so we're gonna hope this delivers but I'm excited to try this
like Candlelight Concert Experience we're gonna go to one of those I just thought that would be a fun
little fall activity and then other than that I've just been soaking up all the pumpkin cold
brew basically this video was just to show you my favorite home decor of the moment and to just get
in the fall Spirits I also just posted a fall week in my life blog over my Vlog Channel which
I'll have linked if you want to watch that I used to share my music favorites in these videos but
now if you post about one second of a song it gets copyrighted by YouTube so I'm just gonna have my
playlist of my favorite music of the moment linked Below on Spotify if you would like to listen to
some new music and again everything I talked about in this video will be linked below I hope
all of you guys are having a wonderful week when you see this and I'll see you in my next video
thank you
