A new season is always so refreshing! It’s like hitting the reset button and enjoying all of life’s seasonal delights! These posts are among my favorite because it gets me excited and keeps me accountable… and even though, this fall looks much different (*ahem* thank you, California lol!), I’m feeling inspired to be a little more creative with my fall festivities. Read on for my fall 2020 bucket list and intentions!
Pretty Flower Crown | My Fall 2020 Bucket List & Intentions
Outfit Details
Les Couronnes Flower Crown c/o | Sister Jane Blue Floral Dress
Speaking of inspiration… I’ve been creating a lot of really fun things behind the scenes! So excited to share! 😀 I will be unveiling one of these things early next week via email so if you’re on my email list, keep an eye out for a special invitation (if you saw yesterday’s newsletter then you’ve already got an idea of what the surprise is – eek!!) and if you’re not, you can JOIN HERE (because trust me, this is something you will definitely want to be a part of!).
What I Accomplished from my Summer Bucket List
- Plan a Future Trip – currently planning one last trip with my brother before he leaves for the Navy! Also planned a couple for next year including a HUGE one that I am so excited about *hint hint* 😉
- Clean Out My Accessories (shoes, handbags, hair accessories, jewelry) – did handbags and shoes! Currently working on jewelry.
- Take a Road Trip – Took a quick day trip to a nearby mountain town.
- Meditate & Journal Everyday – I haven’t been super consistent but I’ve been trying 🙂
- Write a Song – I started writing guitar music!
- Lay Out by the Pool – so relaxing! Fully shielding myself from the sun, of course hehe!
- Go Swimming – twice! Just what I needed <3
- Try a New Recipe – Made grilled chipotle chicken – yum! Also the recipe for my Breakfast at Tiffany’s inspired cake is up!
- Start Sewing Again – I created a handful of girly luxury scrunchies! 🙂
FALL INTENTIONS
Prioritize Myself
I feel like this is always at the top of my seasonal intentions haha! But it’s always a work in progress 😉 Now that my toes are healed, I’m ready to get back in action! 😉 I’m planning to create a consistent workout schedule that I can do at home and when I’m able, outside. I also want to dedicate a little more time to finding new (or creating) recipes that I can eat. So many times, I just stick to the same things for fear of having a reaction…. it’s terrible lol. But I’m craving some new flavors and since I’ve realized that this is likely going to be a permanent lifestyle change, I’d like to explore this in depth to learn more about how I can fuel my body properly. I’m diligent about my skincare, of course but I’d also love to start meditating and journaling everyday.
Find Balance
It’ a funny thing. When I went full-time, I thought that I would have all of this extra time and this couldn’t be further from the truth lol! Sometimes I feel super organized and on top of things and other times, I feel like I’m so behind and not even sure of what I’m doing. My mind runs a million miles a minute. I have put up boundaries for myself and that has definitely helped but now I’m working on getting organized and setting a schedule that I can stick to. I’ve actually been pretty consistent with the blog, newsletter and YouTube but those are all pretty time-consuming and then when you add on Instagram, stories, Pinterest, TikTok, Facebook, Twitter, LTK.it, etc along with all of the other projects I’ve been working, it’s a bit overwhelming and I’ve had a hard time finding balance recently. Hoping to take some time this season to create something that works for me <3
Be Bold
Sometimes I feel like I’m holding myself back… from sharing my ideas, my thoughts, myself. I tend to talk myself out of a lot of things because I’m scared to be vulnerable and I’m afraid of criticism. I have all of these ideas (so many!) but I’m afraid to act on them. I want to stop overthinking so much and waiting for the “perfect time” and just do it. This is something that I’m going to be working really hard on for the next few months!

I feel you with finding balance. Sometimes I’m so far ahead and other times I feel like I’m behind. I’d also love to go on a trip somewhere and also go hiking. Just started cleaning out my closet last week, like you, I’m hoping to get some classic pieces and I need to see what I’m missing.

It can be so hard sometimes to do it all. Me too! I am so ready to just go out and explore! Same 🙂 I definitely need to find a few basics that I’m missing.
These are great bucket list ideas for fall! We haven’t gone apple picking in years and a hot chocolate bar is such a fun idea! I’m also loving your fall intentions – I think most of us need to prioritize ourselves and find balance!
Jill – Doused in Pink
Thanks so much Jill! You should try it! I couldn’t agree more!
This is a fun idea for autumn and I like the hot chocolate bar idea! 🙂
Thanks for the link up 🙂
Hope you have been having a good week 🙂
Away From Blue
Thanks so much Mica!
I am totally where you are with the diet issue. I retried a food item I wasn’t certain about (cheese), and had full blown fibromyalgia the next day. I had been fibromyalgia free for over a month. It took 5 days to recover. Reactions like that doesn’t make me feel too adventurous, but I have a few other foods that I’m not sure about… Anyway, like you, I’m trying to find ways to expand the menu using what I can eat.
Your Fall Bucket List sounds wonderful!

Oh no! That’s terrible! It takes me a long time to recover from dairy too :-/ Same. And I used to enjoy eating and cooking and now it’s like… not very fun haha! But I’m going to try some new recipes this week – fingers crossed!
Great bucket list, Lizzie! I need to make one for fall because there are a bunch of things that I would like to do and then I forget if I don’t write them down! Haha. I have been journaling more myself but certainly not every day. It is so good for the soul!

Thanks so much Shelbee! This definitely helps keep me accountable hehe! I agree!
Love your intentions list! Think I’m going to call an old friend (a few actually)- good idea! Hope you’ll be dropping by for my Friday linkup! Have a great weekend xx
Thanks so much Lucy! Aww yay! Hope you had a good one!
Well done, and thanks for sharing. Lovely to follow your blog Lizzie, I’d like to dress like you all the time, but in the UK it’s just not feasible for me. I will copy when I can. xx Jacqui x
AAw2 Thanks so much Jacqui! Likewise 🙂 Is it starting to get cold over there?
I really do enjoy the fall especially as it cools down some. I am hoping for more picnics and we will start with one tomorrow on a hike! I really am grateful we live 15 minutes from a state park with a lake and great trails!

Me too! I hope you enjoyed your hike! We still have lots of smoke so I’m hoping it clears up soon so we can go out and explore. Wow, that’s so convenient! i would love that!
Great fall bucket list! I’ve done lots of gardening this spring and summer and hope to continue in the fall while it’s still nice outside. A fall picnic sounds wonderful!
Ellibelle’s Corner
Thanks so much Ellibelle! That sounds delightful! I just got a new pot so I’m excited to move over a few of my plants 🙂
Love your list. I need to play guitar more. Its great you are writing songs. What kind? We have plans to go to the Blue Ridge Parkway and see the Fall leaves. I do look forward to Fall cooking.

It’s just guitar music. I’m not the best with lyrics haha! But I like to write multiple guitar parts (chords/arpeggio + solo). That sounds so nice! I’ve heard that’s a really beautiful place in the fall. would love to visit someday. Oh yes, I’m definitely looking forward to soups and lots of sweet treats!
It still feels like summer up here, but I’m glad it’s fall too. Sounds like you have a great few months ahead of you!

Do it! lol It’s the perfect time!
So excited for your fall bucket list. I’m knocking one off mine and going glamping this weekend!
Thank you so much Greta!
I absolutely love your autumn bucket list. So many good ideas on here – and a few of them are on my list as well! 🙂 I also just signed up for your newsletter!
Thank you so much Stephanie! Awe! Yay!!!
I am loving all your fall bucket items, and I’m adding a few to my own list. I think prioritizing yourself during the fall is important, and I’m going to do the same! x
Thank you so much Adaleta!
Think it’s great idea to have these “check-ins” regularly not just to cross things off a list put to have something to look forward to, especially during these times! Love it! xoxo, Sara
I love my check-ins! They are so helpful!
It’s still so changeable Lizzie, today has been quite warm, but I still managed to wear a new long line duster over jeans…. Have a super week Hun. x
Congratulations on accomplishing items on your bucket list. I kinda thru alot of goals out this year. Hoping to regroup soon.http://www.NancyUgo.com

Thank you so much Rach!
Great bucket list and LOVE your flower crown!!
Thank you so much Lee!
This is such a fun idea for a post! As you mention, I really like the aspect that it holds you accountable… I might just have to start doing these! I really want to go apple picking this year because I keep seeing everyone do it, but I did some research and it looks like the orchards in my area are closed this year due to Covid. Boo!
Miles of smiles,
Grace

Thank you so much Grace! Oh no! Covid is messing everything up! I’m not even sure if our orchards are going ot be open this year ;-/ wishful thinking lol!
Love your bucket list, a lot of those I also have on mine! Wow…writing music is HUGE! Good job!
Thank you so much Lily!
I love the idea of writing down fall intentions in order to keep myself accountable!
I’m so glad that you liked it Anna!
I’m so excited for fall! I won’t be doing as many activities as I normally do, but I’m hoping to still go apple picking!

Thanks so much!! You definitely should 🙂
I love how you said that one of your intentions is to find balance. That is definitely going to be one of mine, as well!
Aww glad to hear it! It’s so hard sometimes. I feel like my mind goes a million miles a minute haha!
