Whining because super summer is over? Nonsense, now the best season is coming! Why? Let’s tell you right now.

1. Hanging out on the couch and watch TV for hours with a cup of cocoa or tea without a guilty conscience because the sun is shining or fears because you could miss the last beautiful day at the outdoor pool – that works wonderfully now because it’s mostly cloudy outside and much, much nicer inside.
2. Finally we can again jump in puddles, without anyone giving us a stupid look. Well, at least almost none. And if it doesn’t really matter…
3. Dominoes, Printen, Santa Clauses: Beach body? We didn’t give a damn about that back in the summer, but now there’s the right Christmas power food to go with it. woo-hoo! We’re throwing ourselves into the challenge of eating even more of it than last year.
4. fly a kite just works with really good wind. And when is it best again? Exactly: IN AUTUMN.
5. It’s pretty colourful. Because of grey. Where there are trees, at least because they change color so well. Immediately lifts your spirits, you just have to go out and have a look. And if that’s not enough: collecting chestnuts is fun – even if you’re older than four. Really now.
6. Pumpkin Spice Latte – Of course you can also drink it in the summer, but let’s be honest: everything that has to do with pumpkin tastes much better when it’s getting a little uncomfortable outside. Incidentally, it’s super easy to make yourself: froth the milk, pour the espresso into a glass and season with a pinch of Pumpkin Spice (e.g. from Just Spices), add the milk froth and top it off with the spice again. Hmmm…

7. In the Going to the sauna just makes more sense and is more pleasant when the outside temperature is well below 15 degrees. The same applies to steam baths, thermal baths and hot tubs. We look forward to the planned sweating!
8th. We can now book our next holiday in a relaxed manner. Or just get started tomorrow. Taj Mahal, the pyramids or the Golden Gate Bridge: Now is the best time to relax on the sofa and choose a really cool destination that you have wanted to see for a long time. If you are still not convinced that autumn is the very best season of the year – it is definitely great for travel.
9. Really bad autumn mood? Then kicking leaves will definitely help. Firstly, you can get rid of a really bad mood here and secondly, the rustling has a very calming effect. However, it is not for people who react aggressively to the color orange.
