2025 Fall Bucket List + Cozy Pumpkin Face Mask Recipe {2025}

Can you believe it’s already October?!  September practically vanished in a blink, and I’m crossing my fingers that October slows down a little so we can soak up every cozy, pumpkin-spiced moment. Fall has always been my favorite season, and I just realized it’s been forever since I made a fall bucket list (the last time was way back in 2014 and 2015—wild, right?). After all these years of blogging, it feels like the perfect time to bring it back. So grab your mug of cider or a pumpkin spice latte, because here comes my 2025 Fall Bucket List! (See my Pinterest Board for Bucket Lists HERE!)

1. Trader Joe’s Adventure – Wandering the aisles with a pumpkin spice latte in hand… yes, please! It’s always fun to browse their Fall flowers, seasonal items (new and old!), the sample area and more. Trader Joe’s is just such a happy experience!

2. Sip New Fall Coffees – Trying all the seasonal flavors and finding my ultimate autumn pick-me-up at my favorite local coffee shops. I will also be sharing a NEW coffee recipe on the blog VERY soon!

3. Outlet Mall Fun – Retail therapy + hunting for fall treasures = my kind of adventure.

4. Find the Perfect Coat – Cozy, chic, and begging to be worn on brisk autumn walks. The button broke on my favorite coat late last year and I’m determined to find the perfect replacement.

5. Leaf-Peeping Walks – Strolls when the foliage is at its peak. Crunchy leaves underfoot and photo ops everywhere!

6. Pumpkin Muffin Baking for Bible Group – Sweet, full of chocolate chips, and 100% fall-approved. Who wants one first? Here is my Chocolate Chip Muffin Recipe, click HERE!

7. S’mores Session – Solo firepit, marshmallows, chocolate… and just me soaking in the fall magic.

8. Fuzzy Halloween Socks or Slippers – The ultimate cozy treat for toes and mood.

9. Fall Movie Night – Hot cocoa, s’mores, popcorn, and all the autumn classics. Pajamas optional… but encouraged! What’s your favorite Fall or Halloween movie?

10. Halloween Cat Toys – My fur babies need their spooky fun too.

11. Outdoor Lunch Dates – Backyard or park—crisp air, crunchy leaves, and yummy bites.

12. Friends + Fall Lunch – I’m hosting a few friends for lunch in October, and I’m so excited to make it extra cozy and festive with all the best fall vibes! Soup in homemade bread bowls sounds really good right now.

13. Boutique Strolls – Fall décor, cozy finds… and maybe a peek at early Christmas magic! I’m hoping my mom can join me, and maybe we’ll make a morning of it with breakfast or a fun lunch afterward.

14. Farmer’s Market Treasures – Apples, squash, pies, pumpkin bread, cider and fresh canned jams… all the flavors of the season in one spot.

15. DIY Pumpkin Spa Night – Pumpkin face masks, candles, and me-time bliss. Self-care level: expert.

Hope you enjoyed my Fall Bucket List. Do you have any fun activities planned this Fall?
