As the last yellowing leaves fall, you're going to find us gathering around tables lit with candles, topped with wine and surrounded by friends.
This November, we're turning to anything that nurtures our body just a little more - homemade broths, eye serum, hip-hop and the search for the perfect vintage bench.
USING
Julie: Monastery Rose Cleansing Oil This is the holy grail of cleansers for cool months. Natureofthings Superlative Balm Wowza! Mmann Magic Stix candles are always burning.
Jenny: Natureofthings Restorative Floral Bath My bath smells so good and my skin is so soft afterwards - such a treat. Province Apothecary Moisturizing Cleanser + Makeup Remover, Tata Harper Restorative Eye Crèam, and I'm loving the glow I get after using Living Libations Jewel Dab.
Tara: Everist Waterless Shampoo Concentrate and The Hair Routine Balancing Conditioner, I'm loving this combo. And rotating between all three of The Hair Routine Treatment Masks. Noto Rooted Oil Roller is a staple in my purse right now. And our new Basil, Peppermint and Blood Orange Hand Soap & Body Wash makes me happy every time I use it.
Rachel: Graydon Aloe Milk Cleanser and Province Apothecary Rejuvenating + Hydrating Face Serum These are both perfectly gentle and hydrating, my skincare staples for fall.
Jenna: Rahua Voluminous Shampoo for a good scalp cleanse and Rahua Hydration Conditioner to nourish my ends in the colder weather. Coveting Monastery Attar Floral Repair Concentrate to envelop my skin with hydration this winter.
Nat: Tata Harper Superkind Bio-Barrier Serum, Monastery Flora Botanical Cream Serum, F. Miller Eye Oil All these for a creamy layered skincare routine. For a nighttime pick-me-up, I will run a bath with our Health Hut Bubble Bath in Eucalyptus, Vetiver, Petitgrain and pop on the Tata Harper Resurfacing Mask!
DOING
Nat: Watching the leaves change at High Park with a good book and jasmine tea.
Rachel: Long walks through Cedarvale Ravine, vintage furniture hunting for our new apartment, and cozy dinners with friends.
Jenna: Getting cozy on the couch with movies from the 90s and early 2000s and discovering new makeup trends on TikTok.
Jenny: Going to see the Kent Monkman show at the ROM.

EATING
Rachel: Hearty stews and salads with fresh produce from the Wychwood Farmers Market (sweet potatoes, kale, squash, and more).
Tara: Warm bowls of pasta with bread from Forno Cultura.
