It’s officially fall and I’m so happy because this is my favorite time of year. New York City comes to life because the leaves start to change colors and it’s always a beautiful sight. I’m also a huge fan of pumpkin spice and everything nice! I have already started to go to Trader Joe’s to get my seasonal pumpkin and fall grocery items and I can’t wait to enjoy every moment of this month.
As I look back at September, I can say that it was an overall good and relaxing month. My three main goals for the last 30 days were to find a new job/ project, host a small gathering at my rooftop and do a safe NYC activity. In terms of the job and project, I am working on something that I can’t reveal just yet but it has been a work in progress and I am loving it! I also hosted an intimate, sunset viewing at my rooftop with a small group of friends and it was so lovely to enjoy the Manhattan skyline with great company and conversations. I wasn’t able to actually do a NYC activity as I planned because I had a spontaneous trip to Cancun, which I wrote all about in my latest post. However, I am determined to make that happen so I am going to move it to my goals for this month.
- Try to go pumpkin picking/ fall related activity: I absolutely love pumpkin patches and farms and I think it’s such a fun way to embrace the fall season. I have gone pumpkin picking for the past several years and I am making it a priority to keep this routine. My only concern are the crowds and lack of social distancing but I have faith that there are options where places are limiting the amount of people. I would just need to do some research but will certainly update you guys on this next month.
- Â Capture NYC content: I haven’t taken much content in New York due to the pandemic but I want to dedicate at least a day in October to get some fall content. I’m a native and NYC is my home so I want to be able to bring it to my social platforms, especially since a lot of people aren’t traveling during this time.
- Be featured: I have my podcast, The City Confessions where I invite guests to come on and talk about their story but I actually think it would be interesting to switch the script and be featured on someone else’s platform, whether that’s a podcast or other segment/ means. It’s always a good idea to branch out and pitch yourself to a newer audience.
As I look into the horizon, I feel great for what the next month will bring. It’s already getting chillier in NYC but I actually don’t mind because I love sweaters and fall fashion. Let me know what you guys want to accomplish in October!

Hi, I don’t understand your third goal to reach but if you are looking for new friends we can follow each other.
I also like New York very much and have been there three times, I live in London. In one of my times in America I have also been in
Massachussets at the Pumpkin Fair! :))

I think it’s a great fun, fall activity!
totally love your outfit!
Thank you girl!
I love fall and winter in NYC, too! It’ll definitely be interesting to see how it looks different this year due to the pandemic… I know indoor dining is slowly opening back up, but I wonder if they’ll keep outdoor dining going with space heaters? I’m pregnant, so being super cautious and definitely not doing any indoor socialization. Either way, I’m happy that it’s autumn again!

I hope you’re having a great pregnancy! It definitely will be interesting to see how NYC will hold up but I have faith in this city 🙂
Die hard NYer myself and it’s crazy to think that I have avoided the city. Also a goal of mine.
Also super interesting to consider branching out – another great idea!
Thank you Angelica!
Nice! I look forward to seeing what you accomplish this month.

And excited to hear your accomplishments too 🙂
Living for the NYC content right now! I hate that I haven’t been able to visit all year, it is one of my favorite places to go when I just need a break from my everyday life.

Hopefully you can come in 2021! New York misses you too 🙂
I have always wanted to visit NYC! It sounds so magical in the fall! How long does it take to get to a pumpkin patch from the city? I’m glad you were able to see your friends! Every gathering takes so much planning this year… I hope October is as relaxing as September!
