The October Reading Hour 📚⏳
Pick one evening this week and give yourself an October Reading Hour.
Choose a book you've been meaning to read.
Put your phone somewhere you don't automatically reach for it.
Put on your comfy clothes and get your cozy blanket.
Make tea, coffee, golden milk, or maybe that homemade horchata latte we made recently.

Amber, cedarwood and musk create a deeper atmosphere, especially in the evening.
