2nd edition: the nights are drawing in, and I've decorated for Autumn

Happy Friday! ❤️

I’ve gotten myself into such an Autumnal mood this week. We had some super heavy rain on Monday, probably the worst I’ve seen in my life - and it’s remained dull since. So then I thought, “let’s decorate the house for Autumn” - so that was exciting. Anyway, I hope you all had a good week.

Here’s a run down of what’s in this week’s edition:

• First week of September 🍁

• Book of the week 📚

• 3 things that are basically steals 💰

• Exclusive giveaway worth £50+ 🎉

First week of September 🍁

As we move into the first week of September, it's the perfect time to welcome Autumn. So with that said, I thought I’d put together a few ideas to help create that cozy, autumnal atmosphere…

Set the Mood with Lighting: Begin by turning off the bright lights and opting for softer, warmer alternatives such as candles, low-wattage lamps, fireplaces, or even fairy lights. The right lighting can instantly transform the ambiance of any space.

Enjoy a Seasonal Treat: Pour yourself a warm drink, ideally in a festive pumpkin-shaped mug, which can be easily found in stores for as little as £2. Don’t forget to add a few biscuits—because why not indulge a little while enjoying your drink?

Indulge in Autumn Shopping: With the weather taking a chillier turn, wrap yourself in an oversized jumper and head out for some retail therapy. Many stores are currently bulging with autumn and Halloween décor. For the best finds, I recommend visiting Homesense, The Range, and Primark, where you'll discover a wide range of cozy, affordable items perfect for the season.

Book of the week 📚

New release: If you're familiar with Elsie Silver's Chestnut Springs series, her latest small-town romance novels are a must-read. Wild Eyes, the second book in her new Rose Hill series (following Wild Love), is an absolute standout. I was captivated by her first book, and her latest release has me even more hooked.

If you haven't had the pleasure of reading Elsie's work yet, I highly recommend starting with the Chestnut Springs series. Picture cowboys and romance—what’s not to love? 🤠

Available from The Works for just £6.

3 things that are basically steals 💰

• Sainsbury’s Habitat brand have clearance items, some at 50% off (and more). Mostly home decor, candles, those kinds of things. They’re obviously making space for something new 👀

• 50% off natural body care products at Wild, only through my exclusive link 🍃

• Every Tuesday at Boots online, they have some amazing steals where certain products reduced to £10. This week I bagged myself some St Tropez tan that is usually £26!. Products change weekly and sell out fast though.

Exclusive giveaway worth £50+ 🎉 

The one piece of content that excites me the most is being able to get you all some exclusive deals and discounts - but that’s only going to be possible with a good subscriber base.

Long story short, I could use all of the help I can get. In return for that help, you’re going to be entered into a giveaway of home decor products worth over £50. It’s simple, all you need to do is share The Demi Edition via the referral program below:
