kind that feels like a chore but one that softly awakens your muscles and soothes your joints. This small act stirs your blood and eases your body into the day with kindness. Let your shower become a sanctuary. Choose a soap that smells like the season — apple, cinnamon, or something crisp and woodsy. Let the warm water remind you that you’re not in a rush, that this moment is yours. As the coffee brews or tea steeps, light a candle .

AUTUMN ADVENTURES JUST OUTSIDE SAN DIEGO Swap the City for Scenic Views
As the golden colors and cool breezes of autumn roll into San Diego, it’s the perfect time to swap the city for new scenic views just a car ride away. From charming small towns like Julian to the unique desert landscape of Joshua Tree, the best day trips of the season are full of local flavor, culture, and beautiful landscapes. Here are three of our favorite places to visit just outside of the city, where you can spend the day or have a mini weekend getaway. JULIAN The quaint and historic town of Julian is only about an hour away and comes to life in the fall. The best time to visit this rural gem in the mountains is mid-September through mid-November for the famous Fall Apple Harvest. You can pick apples, drink fresh cider, and enjoy one of the best slices of pie in the state. There are also plenty of hiking and biking trails and a vibrant Main Street with local shops. Julian is rich in Gold
Rush history, and you can step into the shoes of prospectors past by taking a mine tour or even panning for gold yourself. JOSHUA TREE NATIONAL PARK Joshua Tree National Park is well-known for its unusual desert landscape and rock formations. It’s about a three-hour drive from San Diego, and while you can see all the highlights in a day, you may not be able to resist staying in one of its popular camp sites or the artsy town just outside the visitor center. Make sure to snap some photos of the iconic plants the park is named for and enjoy panoramic views from vantage points like Keys View. Some of the most popular rock formations are Skull Rock, Arch Rock, and Barker Dam. CORONADO ISLAND You don’t have to go far to feel transported to a different pace of life. Coronado Island is just across the bridge and is the quintessential
beachside retreat. You can easily fill a whole day with activities like shopping at the Coronado Ferry Landing, enjoying the golden sands of Coronado Beach, or visiting the historic Hotel del Coronado. If you just want to take in some sights, you could probably bike around Coronado in about 90 minutes.
