Over ten days ago, I started a diet that allows neither sugar nor gluten - and with no sugar, I mean no fruit, no honey, no syrup, no sweeteners, nothing. 

It all started with visiting an alternative doctor who specialises in the gut. He quickly identified a parasite in my liver and an unbalance in my gut bacteria. He recommended a two-week course of a sugar and gluten-free diet to cleanse out my entire gut. 

It is October! I can't believe September is already over. I can never wait for the -ber months to start, as autumn and the Christmas time are, by far, my favourite time of the year. September usually kicks off autumn with a crisp edge in the air and the unmistakable back-to-Hogwarts vibes. Sadly, this year, September was summery and warm and we've barely had any autumnal days yet. The trees are still very green and all my autumnal sweaters rot in my closet. 

Now that October has commenced, I really want to get into autumn spirit, regardless the weather.  October is for me all things spooky and pumpkin. I love the orangeness of October, the warmth interspersed with the spookiness of cold grey and black. 

As November is almost Christmas-time already, I often feel autumn is really just September and October, so I really want to make the most of them. This year I have compiled an "Autumn Bucket List" to help me really embrace the season, and while autumn started almost two weeks ago, I only now came round to posting this. I hope I can do all of the things on my bucket list, but anything I can't do this year will instantly go on next-year's autumn bucket list, so let's delve in.
