Things have been getting a little heavy around here at Damn, Girl. From declaring war on happiness to shitting on Lifetime movies, it may be time to take a walk on the lighter side.
This week I couldn’t decide between writing about “Why Your Grandma is Kind Of a Slut” or “The Surprising Health Benefits of Puppy Blood,” so I opted for a third option. A classic: Damn, Girl Fall Essentials.
This is my favorite time of the year. Not to be too poetic but I feel like when the whole world is changing, it makes it easier for me to make the changes I want to make. I feel the need to put to rest negative habits and beliefs, shed them like the trees do their leaves. Let everything fall away that isn’t me.
I love getting caught up in the magic of the season, but I also love that primal feeling. You know the one, the one that says: Prepare.
For so many of us, Fall brings a primal energy, one that says: work, winter is coming. I feel my creative pathways open. I feel the need to nest. I feel the need to boil big cauldrons full of liquid over roaring hearths and send crows to pick up my dry cleaning. All the standard Fall feelings.
I wanted to put together a practical list of Fall essentials, because I think you have already all got the message to “pumpkin all the things.” But seriously, pumpkin all the things.
Switch to satin pillow cases
Cotton is very effective at its job: wicking away moisture. The dermal barrier is already compromised in the winter. Combine that with your lovely cotton pillow case sucking the life out of your hair and skin and hello discomfort.
You will be extra glad you switched when you get your first cold of the season and wake up with surprisingly un-chapped nose skin. I love these because they are cheap and slippery (that’s also why my husband loves me).
Change your furnace filter
You want to talk about adulting? Girl, change your furnace filter. Indoor air quality is balls and your furnace filter is disgusting. And you don’t change it enough. How do I know? Because no one changes it enough.
It’s like flossing: we know we should, but we don’t, because we suck.
Chances are, your indoor time is about to skyrocket, and you don’t want to be sub-level sick with allergies until Spring.
Fatten up your salads
My favorite thing about Fall has got to be the food. Roasted veggies, roasted everything. I usually ditch the cold summer salads and just soup for the rest of the year. But there is no need to abandon the raw greens.
But do fatten them up a bit. Avocado, cheese, dried fruit, croutons, warm meat or tofu, and creamier dressings will make them a lot more palatable in the colder weather and you will enjoy the benefits of actually pooping, all season long.
Get an epilator
Is an epilator right for you? First you have to meet the two qualifications.
- You have to hate shaving with the fiery passion of a thousand suns.
- You have to be too broke to get a wax every month, but rich enough to spend 100 dollars on a torture device.
I have very sensitive skin. This sensitive:
Dealing with razor burn and painful skin in the summer is one thing. In the colder months, forgetttabout it. I used to just “wildebeest it” for the whole Fall season, but then I discovered the epilator. It was like when Anastasia met Christian Grey: awkward and abusive and opening me up to a new terrifying world of pain and um, hair removal.
The epilator is a rotating head of 40-70 tweezers that you run up your leg or bikini or armpit and it auto-plucks you like a processed chicken. It hurts about 10 percent less than you would expect but 10 percent more than you can stand. It absolutely requires a two drink minimum.
What’s the appeal? Four weeks of hairless goodness, and it gets less and less painful the more you traumatize your follicles into not producing hair.
So, go! Enjoy the Fall season with your traumatized follicles and your happy, non-chapped, allergy-free nose. Poop freely in the rest stops between apple orchards. And if you see a murder of crows, please tell them I’m expecting my dry-cleaning.

Oh my, you are so right! I had never considered the aspect of “Preparing” come fall, but you are completely right. That’s what fall is all about – hunkering down and preparing for winter, mentally and physically. That aside, I love how excited everyone is for this season and the beauty it creates.
My fall essentials: Fluffy socks. Why? Well, although sleeping at cooler temperatures encourages better slumber, if you are too cold whilst you sleep you’re more prone to nightmares. So, fluffy socks. Especially pink ones that feature a fox.

I adore fall. It is my Holy Season. I love the cool crisp mornings as sweet as that first bite into an apple, when you can take a deep breath without feeling as though you are drowning (I live in the South). I love the crackle of dead leaves underfoot, the scent of woodsmoke in the air, and I eat pumpkin pie until I can’t stand it any longer (and won’t touch it until the following year).
My house is poorly insulated and running the heat is expensive, so my fall/winter essentials are wool socks and fingerless mittens. I also rely heavily on those little bean bags you can nuke in the microwave and tuck behind you while you’re sitting on the couch or at the keyboard.
I got a little mini epilator to try out once and oh, the pain! Any area larger than an upper lip and I might need more than 2 drinks…

I might need to look into this hair removal torture device… living in the central coast of California, we don’t really get much season change (which sucks because I do love fall – but is equally awesome because no snow)…. But, I wear skirts year round, with boots more than heels, but you get my drift!
I agree with pumpkin all the things….. I love fall colors, and my front porch looks like a pumpkin patch! Like I said, we don’t get a whole lot of “seasons” around here, so my fall preparation for winter is to deflate and store the pool toys – which I will do this weekend! I do love the cooler nights & mornings. I love sitting by the fire & early bed times. My necessities are layers…. lots of layers (this morning it was 45 degrees when I got to work, it will be 80 on the beach at lunch…), boots, and pumpkin spice!

Cheap and slippery, haha. Your husband hit the jackpot. Down here in South Florida, we get a few weeks of cold if we’re lucky and it’s usually hot again by noon. We seem to lose more cold days every year. Still, that hasn’t stopped me from having wildebeest legs for most of the cooler months. I really hate shaving and if I can get away with it in the bloody sunshine state, I’m doing it. Your torture device does sound like fun, though!
I’ve got twinkly lights outside my house and a swing, so when it starts getting cool I love to take a blanket and some hot chocolate outside at night or coffee and a book or magazine in the morning. Just swinging life away in that crispy air.

I think the biggest thing is I switch over to L’Occitane Huile D’Amande shower oil because my skin gets so dry and chapped when the weather is cold and dry. The Midwest is dry when it’s cold and humid when it’s hot. California was the opposite… I miss California. Anyhoo, using shower oil is a great way to keep skin soft and hydrated, and you end up smelling like an almond cookie. I also use plain Sweet Almond oil on my feet and hands during the winter, which furthers the whole almond cookie smell. I order mine off Amazon, and you can also purchase refill bags which refills the regular sized bottle ($22) twice. It’s a bit dear, but very much worth it.
I also highly recommend fluffy animals – I have two ragdoll cats who make lovely snuggle buddies.
