    Thank you!

    Unfortunately we don’t have a fall season in So Cal but I think the color changes of the trees is the most beautiful thing in fall.

    lkish77123 at gmail dot com

  17. Marcy says

    I love the crisp air of the fall, the smell of a fireplace burining, and apples! Apple cider, apple pie, stewed apples, candy apples (insert Bubba Gump shrimp voice).

    I love the feeling of the crisp bracing air on a fall morning.
    I’d like to win the CoverGirl LashBlast Length Mascara

    What I like most about fall is the cooler weather mixed with that back to school feeling & the anticipation of the holidays ahead. What I would most like to win is the GinZing Eye Cream by Origins, I love their products. They are truly GREEN pioneers.

  25. Jessie C. says

    I love the color and pre holiday atmosphere about the Fall/Autumn season! Origins brand new GinZing Eye Cream would be great to have!

  31. Debra says

    What I love most about fall (besides the cooler weather) is the explosion of color. I love the way the leaves change color, surrounding me in a burst of golds and oranges and reds. It’s beautiful. I love the sound of leaves crunching beneath my feet. I also love looking at the bare trees because each one is different and has a majesty all its own.

  33. Laney says

    I’m totally entering, but I only want the razor or the cream (I already have & love the mascara). My favorite thing about fall is Halloween!

  60. Marci p says

    I moved to Florida about 14 years ago and I MISS the colours of fall and the cooler weather.
    But being in Florida, the end of fall means.. end of hurricane season! Woot! lol
    But the best thing about fall is.. football! ANd having Directv, I can watch my Giants WIN!!!!!!!!! (and if the blog owner is a Cowboys fan, after last night.. maybe I don’t have a chance to win your contest! ROFL!)

  63. annette anderson says

    I love Fall ! It is my favorite time of year. I live in Texas and we don’t really have alot of cold winter in our part. So Fall is just right after our hot summer. We are surrounded by oak tree’s and they are so beautiful when the leaves begin to change. Also , I am a huge nature lover and I love to watch the squirrels putting up their food supply in the Fall so they are ready for Winter. Our area also has a yearly Fallfest called the Yamboree and everyone around waits for this to come to town! The crisp ,cool mornings of Fall make me so happy! Also I hope I win the Grand prize ,but if not I would love to win any of the other prizes! Thanks,Annette Anderson

  64. Sally Cumberland says

    Love skirts w/tights and scarves, scarves, scarves. I also like not having to pay for pedicures for awhile. I’m totally hot for that Origins cream. My eyes need attention. Thanks!

  65. Tracey Byram says

    I love the change of seasons so that I can wear different clothing. I also like that I can turn off the air conditioner to save money and open the windows to let the house air out.

  66. Alicia Webster says

    Fall is my favorite season, because of the fabulous weather. I love wearing sweaters again, hot coffee and snuggling under an afghan, and the sound of the rain on the roof, and the smell of wood burning fireplaces.

  67. Alicia Webster says

    I follow you on Twitter and I forgot to mention in the above comment that I need/want the Gillette razor the most.

    Thank you. :-)

Today is the first day of fall here and I always get excited because it’s the first day of AUTUMN :)

  156. Michelle says

    I love that it starts to cool down and we can spend so much more time outside. I’d love to win the Gillette basket as I would feel so pampered with all of those goodies!

    What I love most about fall is EVERYTHING!!! Autumn has always had a grip on my psyche like no other season. Maybe it’s just the refreshed feeling after a long, hot summer that seems to open my soul to new things and yet gives me a time to reflect, too. I really don’t know how to explain it! I am a mascara freak, so I would love to win the second prize!

  171. cheryl f says

    I love the cooler weather that fall brings. Being able to turn off the a/c and opening the windows on a cool crisp day.That’s the best! I’d love to win the mascara.

  172. LindaD says

    Am I the only one who appreciates cutting down on leg-shaving/waxing sessions? ;-) That and the layered look make fall one of my favorite seasons.

  177. Mary M says

    I love being able to (comfortably) have a fire in the fire pit, and wear a cozy sweater or sweatshirt.

  178. Kimberly says

  263. Susan Ledet says

    I like the cool breezes at night during fall. I live in the South so we don’t get too see much color with leaves changing but do enjoy the few that we see. I don’t care for cold weather and fall always means that it’s right around the corner so we do enjoy the milder days in fall.

    smrtmouse at yahoo dot com

  327. P. Larch says

    I love the bright colors of the leaves and the colors of the fall flowers, like mums, which pop up everywhere! I would most love to have the new origins eye cream. I love origins and wear their moisturizer almost every day!
