Autumn will always feel like the new year. It never goes away. New Years feels like an unwanted birthday but September is a time of hope.
fun fact - the Jewish new year is in September!
On point! I thought it was just me😭
This September 1st felt like a fresh start like New Year's is supposed to feel
I feel the exact same way!
wow you expressed my thoughts with this com
Quick PSA about writing:
The thing about loving books is that it often goes hand in hand with wanting to try out writing yourself sometimes. The tricky part about this is that because most book lovers have accumulated such a high standard from their consumption, they often haven't put what they've learnt into practise. This leaves you with the awkward situation of being knowledgeable enough to be aware that what you're writing is bad but not being knowledgeable enough to know how to fix it. I've gone through this (still am tbh) and im sure others have too. What you need to remember is that writing is a skill that is honed and crafted over time, not some talent you're born with, much like other art forms. The only way to get better is to try it. And after you've tried it, practise it. It's hard, but that's what makes it worth it.
thank you for sharing this!! have you read Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott, it reminded me of this
@julietbeck2945 no, unfortunately I haven't. But it sounds interesting!
I really needed to hear this. Like, you've genuinely healed a part of my self-loathing as a fledgling writer. Thank you for your comment!
oh i needed to hear this
an autumny leonie video is always such a treat
:)
I'm 49 and I still have the same feeling of Autumn being the beginning of something new.❤
I use my empty candles for a lot of things: hair elastics, make up brushes, kitchen items, I put fairy lights in them, paint them and use them for my bookmarks, as a pen holder on my desk etcetera
I'm 37 and I still look at fall as being a season of renewal! I think the crisp air just energizes me and it's the sign of the fun of summer being over and getting back to longer days indoors, etc. This is when I usually try new things, new skills, settle into better routines.
Tip for the candle problem: refill them yourself! ✨ I will usually keep the glasses and collect leftover wax from other candles as well, buy some wicks and do my own candles. Also you can use your scent yourself! It's really really easy believe me :)
just take care, bc if you reheat the glass too much it will crack and make a whole mess (besides being dangerous ofc)
@@pettyella6607 Yes you're right ... that's why I am usually just trying to scrape the excess wax out of the glasses and then clean them before refilling them
you can also pour a little bit of hot water into the candle jar to melt the leftover wax out! makes it a lot easier to clean @@ninaklt2682
and totally seconding refilling them yourself! you can also buy little scentless wax melts that are specifically for candle making (or even just the melts that are for a candle warmer) and add your own scent with essential oils, etc.
HELL YEAH THIS MADE MY DAY
love that!
Years after graduation and not even having a typical summer holiday, September still feels like the start of a new year.
It's hilarious how Leonie processes her emotions about having no more candles in real time and we all get to watch it. Love your booktube videos and vlogs!
she’s back!! she’s thriving!! she’s vibing!! AND IT’S FALL
I am 58 and it is still the same for me that Fall is a fresh new beginning. Love your channel! 🎃
I get fall as a beginning because of the harvest season 🌾🍂 I know a lot of cultures see that as a beginning since harvesting means that the land is bare and ready to start fresh again 😄
(also a helpful tip with strong scented candles is to bring coffee beans and smell them after each candle - it helps neutralize the smell and keeps your nose from hurting)
i live in a country with a tropical climate so i know i can always count on u for the cozy autumn vibes 🍁🫶🏽 ur videos r a blessing 🥹
Proud of you for smashing the speech!! I‘m terrified of public speaking too, my stomach was almost cramping just watching you do it omg😭😭
When you're sad and tired but Leonie uploads a new video❤
I’m out of school for 6 years and I still look at autumn as a beginning of something new. also looking at students with envy
AH! Seeing the notification that you’ve posted is the best part of my week

This vlog is the essence of coziness and autumn vibes. You’ve made my day, can’t wait for another video on this channel!
I love watching your videos while I do stuff around the house. Your voice is very soothing. Love the videos 🥰❤
I really love autumn and also I’m obsessed with your cosy autumn vlogs ❤ I was in the Netherlands in July and I thought what an autumnal country even in the middle of the summer! I hope you’ll have a wonderful season, love from Türkiye ❤❤
Congrats on doing such a big speech, that’s super cool! (Although 100% nerve wracking i totally agree). This video was such a comfort and came at the perfect time, thank you for all your work ❤
This video is so cosy, I watched it whilst updating my reading journal and it felt so warm and wholesome 🍄🍂🕯
New comfort youtuber xxxxx love from Ireland
Hello Leonie, I've discovered your channel very recently and I am in love with the vibes of your cosy vlogs
thank you for sharing your fears! it was so cathartic to hear!
This was very fun and calming to watch, as someone going through a literal war right now, I appreciate the comfort your videos bring, can't wait for the next vlog🩷
It's finally getting cool and cozy where I live, so this was the perfect reminder to start burning candles again. 💛 I personally love woodsy scents like pine. It makes my room smell like the forest.
Yesterday, I spent the whole day waiting for this video! So pls do more ,lof that, I love it so much! I am already looking forward to the next
That was such lovely vlog ! I missed watching those that you make !
Also you're reminding me that I need to do some candle shopping as well ...
Love cozy vlogs like this one!
this is my third autumn after finishing uni and i feel exactly the same way about it feeling like the start of a new year!! even more than new year’s eve i think although that also feels like a place for new beginnings
Leonie !!! the concept of a work & fun candle is amazing! I came across it by accident, to try and get myself to love being around my favourite candle scent and trick my brain into loving to work in the space - IT WORKS !!! j'adore
Hi Leonie, it was perfect, I hope you take time for this channel, I think they are my favorite videos. Have a good fall, only 3 days left.
It never goes away! 12 years has passed since I have finished university and still autumn is beginig of the new cycle. 😊
Congratulations on that speech! You can be so proud of you for doing something that scared you. Same with the writing class! This video is an actual inspiration for trying new things 😊 And of course for autumn in general ❤
Love love love all your vlogs please keep. Doing them ❤
I loved this video, so awesome and relatable! Super ready for the cozy weather as well 🍂☕🍄🍂
Im relatively new to your channel but it's quickly becoming my favorite!
thank you so much! let's hope the cozy autumn weather comes quickly!
i just re watched you last video, so excited to watch this one!!! (also, idk if you figure what was causing the fruit flies problem but in my experience it can be that one of your neighbors have a lot of rotting fruit or a compost pile, both cause a lot if fruit flies especially in summer)
Oh wow congrats on that speech 🎉🎉🎉🎉 and i love your cozy vlogs 😂 even tho its also stiller summery and warm where i live. Love the candles ❤
So glad your speech went well!!! Congrats!
Thank you so much for your response! I really love your content. It relaxes me, and I like hearing about the books I should read or can bypass. There's a calm in your content and aesthetic that helps me get calm. 😁 Keep doing what you do! 👍
the editing on this video is gorgeous 🥺
thank you aaa
thank you for this cozy video 🍂🍄🍃i'm looking foward to more vlogs!
I was there and can confirm your speech was AMAZING! Everyone loved it. Super well done, you should be proud. ❤️ (+Love the autumn vibes, this video is so cozy)
thank you so much!!! and it was so nice to meet you!
Used candle jar tip! I usually clean them out and use them for storing things like pencils/bookmarks/art supplies, vases, and put small plants in them (keeping the pant in a the plastic pot and just setting it in the pretty jar). To get the wax out, I boil water in my tea kettle and fill the jar up to the brim with boiling water. It melts the left over wax and solidifies on top of the water as it cools (sometimes need to do this twice). Then if you have a wax warmer, you can use the left over wax for that!
Love the autumnal vibes, congrats on your speech! Skandinavisk (a Danish brand) make refillable candles now, they have great scents to choose from in my opinion 🍂
Congratulations on being asked to speak. Autumn is my favorite time of year. As life progresses and your habits change September won't feel so momentous. 🍁🍁🍁🍁
Love these kinds of vids!! 🍂
Just what I needed today, lots of love from Portugal! 🍂
you had me laughing out loud in a coffee shop!! definitely going to bring more candles into my life.
Your video definitely encouraged me to go grab some candles and burn it while I am writing 🤗
I loved this, and it's somehow very reassuring to me and my own September too, so thank you ❤️ the concept of a "work candle" is so cool! I'll try it myself too, it feels like it would be really helpful for my particular brain and its habits 😄❤️
Hehe I work at Uni as a lecturer. So, fortunately, autumn still really is the beginning of something new and I love this so much!!
leonie discovering tkmaxx candles is exactly what i needed
I just discovered you also have a personal channel! Yai! Excited to binge your videos! ♥️
this video was so cozy and relaxing
you make autumn magical
The oil segment is such a witchy touch 🤭🍂
Congratulations on your speech Leonie! 💐✨
Autumn feels like a cozy time a year for me and it's of reflection.
this is my 13th year without going back to any kind of school in September and I still definitely feel like the new year starts here. and I love it and I celebrate it :)
Love your vlog ! :) It brings me joy and take me back to my favourite season of the year. Besides, I am obsessed with Labneh so i may try to cook some as well. So happy to know that the next one is coming soon...
I finished Uni in 2017 and I still see September as the beginning of the year 😊 I hope it never changes
And here in Italy autumn is like a shiny pokémon: there's summer, then abrupt winter, no in-between anymore. Halfway through september and we still hit almost 30°C where I live + lots of humidity all year long.
Watching vlogs of places where autumn exists and is coming in strong makes me feel at ease, the gray skies really give me hope for a good, cold winter this year, where I may be able to put on my warmest and fanciest clothes and drink a cup of warm tea/chocolate in a cozy blanket :)
seeing this video pop up on my page made me SOOO happy!
loved the vlog so much!
I have started bittherthorn because of you and I'm enjoying it! It definitely fits the vibe as well :)
Those candles sound amazing.
I love these vids Leonie!!
Well, that was very very comfortingly relatable 😆Congrats on vanquishing the fear monster and smashing your speech!!!
On the subject of refillable candles: "Pott" makes gorgeous scented candles in handmade pottery jars, and they sell refills for the jars in three different sizes (which are also a lot more affordable than a whole new jar+candle).
Wishing you a 'happy new year' from swelteringly hot Berlin!
I remember the first time I as rejected/not admitted. It's a weird feeling. Anyway, writing is a lifelong activity so a few months makes little real difference in the long run. Very good to see you again, LC, as always.
this video like warm cup of tea ☕🍂💚
More fall vlogs! I love both your channels Leonie 🧡
You can use boiling water to get the bottom of the wax out of your candles and you can clean out the glass jars and keep them. You can use the wax that’s left in the very bottom and wax warmers if you have that at all.
Love ur vlogs 😍 as always
Love this little moments of your week! I buy always similar candles so i melt the rest of wax and pour them all in one jar with a new wick. Voila new candle😁
Love the vlogs, very cozy
Props to you for doing that speech! Public speaking is absolutely terrifying. I HATED school presentations. Also doesn’t help that I work in a job where I will have to eventually talk/present to clients…😬 but that’s not for a long time but I’m still dreading it. I totally get what you mean about being weirdly calm when doing the actual thing that was scaring you. I think it’s the anticipation and the not knowing that’s sometimes more scary than the actual thing itself.
