What a fashionable Fall haul!

 Our autumn Luxe & Luminous Collection box theme is “changing colors.” During this season, we can delight in cool crisp days, radiant blue skies and scenic drives filled with foliage. We’re changing our clocks, our closets, our class schedules and more.

Another thing that’s changing is that the days are getting shorter—darkness arrives a little bit earlier each night. We enjoy clear sunny mornings and cool cozy evenings.

 Autumn is also a season where we celebrate thankfulness and abundance. This is a great time to look at daily routines. Consider which you might elevate to rituals that serve your intentions, your passions and your peace. For instance, you can have your morning coffee while sitting in traffic or while sitting on the deck enjoying nature. Which habit brings you more joy?

We chose the colorful contents of this autumn box with the intention of bringing you joy.

A visit to the Luxe & Luminous Facebook group shows how subscribers and grateful recipients are bringing color and joy to their lives each day:

Giddy about her box goodies, Betty M. wrote, “I love getting surprises!”

Cynthia B. shared, “I love the boxes! Need ideas on how to collect and use them.” That led to a lively exchange about how many in the group are organizing their homes, making a space for grace and bringing beauty into their surroundings. Some of you use the sturdy, custom-designed boxes to organize clothing, favorite books or gifts. Some of you display them as décor. Others use them as gift boxes.

Lelia K. wrote, “I store Kwanzaa, seasonal, and b-day decor in them. I don’t have a gift closet. I use these to store gifts. And I use a box to store items for overnight guest (soaps, lotions, toothpaste, deodorants, etc.). I also use a box to store hotel toiletries and other items I collect all year to take to shelters at the holidays.”

Group members also shared inspiration, quotes, messages of spiritual uplift and seasonal plans.

Here is all of the fall goodness subscribers received in their latest box:
