It's officially fall, and you know what that means: If you haven't already, it's time to start tucking away those denim cut-offs and flip flops and begin dusting off your riding boots and snug sweaters. Though it can be hard to say goodbye to summer, there are so many parts of autumn to look forward to: hot apple cider, colorful trees, Halloween costumes. Fall also means finally getting to swap out those quick, warm showers for long, steamy baths. After all, there's nothing more relaxing after an exhausting day than winding down in the tub.
