Welcome Back to the Heyday R.E.P.O.R.T.
As the air turns crisp and the leaves start to fall, we’re embracing everything cozy, warm, and pumpkin-spiced here at Heyday. Our team has curated another R.E.P.O.R.T. to share our current fall obsessions with you. From the books we’re curled up with, to the autumn-inspired meals we’re cooking, and the games and shows that are keeping us entertained as the nights get longer—each letter of R.E.P.O.R.T. highlights what we’re Reading, Eating, Playing, Obsessing Over, Recommending, and Treating Ourselves To this season.
So, grab your favorite blanket, a warm drink, and join us as we dive into our fall faves. We hope our picks inspire you to enjoy the beauty of the season and treat yourself to a little extra coziness.
Reading
Our team is diving into some captivating reads this fall! These are the books keeping us hooked as the days grow shorter.
Brig is getting into the fast-paced world of Formula 1 with Max Verstappen: Born to Race by James Gray. As one of our resident F1 fans, she’s excited to dive deeper into the life of this world champion (and her favorite) driver. If you haven’t yet watched Formula 1: Drive to Survive on Netflix, consider this your sign to get started.
Meanwhile, Andrea is hooked on The Rose Code by Kate Quinn, a thrilling World War II historical fiction about three female codebreakers at Bletchley Park. She’s particularly enjoying the romance plot involving a prince, which adds an intriguing layer to the intense drama of the story.
Sandra is reading Someone Else's Shoes by Jojo Moyes, a funny and heartfelt novel about two women who swap gym bags (and lives) in unexpected ways. She’s loving the story’s humor and how it highlights the power of female friendship and resilience through unexpected circumstances.
Eating
This season, our team is savoring all the flavors of fall. From local favorites to indulgent homemade treats, here’s what we’re cooking up and enjoying as the temperatures drop.
Tessa is loving her CSA subscription from Amaltheia Organic Dairy. The variety of fresh veggies, herbs, fruit, and cheeses keeps things exciting in the kitchen. Their winter CSA is on sale now, so get ready for more seasonal goodness!
Justine is all about the English muffins from Furrow & Fly, with the Everything seasoning variety being her go-to for breakfast sandwiches.
Marley, on the other hand, is indulging in fall baking with recipes from Half Baked Harvest’s Everyday cookbook—think pumpkin streusel coffee cake and chai orchard doughnuts. Delicious doesn’t even begin to cover it.
Playing
Our team is having tons of fun this fall with games, competitions, and podcasts that keep us entertained during the cozy nights in.
Dena is fully immersed in our Heyday NFL Pick 'Ems competition. We’re only a few weeks in, and it’s already heating up with some surprising wins (and losses!).
Olly is getting into the fall spirit by whipping out her board games, and her current obsession is Rummikub. She says not to underestimate it—this fast-paced game is easy to learn, fun to play, and perfect for all ages.
Michelle is loving her weekly dose of hilarity from Armchair Anonymous, a segment on the Armchair Expert podcast where listeners share wild and funny stories that’ll leave you in stitches.
Obsessing Over
We’re completely caught up in some exciting fall trends and must-haves this season.
Emma (and most of the world) is absolutely obsessing over Taylor Swift’s football fashion. We’re fully Team Taylor + Travis and can’t get enough of watching her support at Arrowhead Stadium.
Lisa is crushing on our new Game Day sweatshirts that are hitting the floor soon. These ultra-cozy pieces are perfect for showing off your team spirit, no matter which sport or team you support. With neutral colorways, they’re versatile enough for any game day outfit.
Amy is particularly obsessed with The Perfect Couple on Netflix, a must-watch for fans of suspenseful dramas. Based on the best-selling book, this binge-worthy murder mystery centers around a lavish wedding that takes a dark turn when a shocking death occurs. With its twists and turns, it’s the perfect show to cozy up with on a crisp fall night.
Recommending
Our team has some must-try recommendations to share this fall. Here are the items we’re loving and can't wait for you to try.
Kimberly is raving about Eminence Organic Skin Care, sold locally at The Loft. With the cooler weather drying out our skin, these natural, clean products are keeping us hydrated and glowing. We also love that they plant a tree for every item sold—perfect for fall and giving back to the planet.
Mallory is excited to share our newest arrival at Heyday, Sackcloth & Ashes Blankets. These beautifully crafted blankets are made from 100% recycled materials and are not only sustainably produced but also give back to the local community. For every blanket purchased at Heyday, one is donated to the Human Resource Development Council Warming Center, helping those in need right here in Bozeman. The company was founded by Bob Dalton, who was inspired to act when his mother experienced homelessness in 2013. Since then, Sackcloth & Ashes has partnered with over 500 shelters and is on track to meet its goal of donating one million blankets
Lori, one of our associates and owner of Uncommon Scents—one of Heyday’s most popular local candle lines—is all about her Cowboy Coffee scent this fall. This unique scent blends rich notes of vanilla, caramel, and roasted coffee, offering a cozy alternative to the usual pumpkin spice. If you're craving more traditional fall vibes, Lori has you covered with scents like Hello Pumpkin, Pumpkin Chai, and Maple Bourbon. Plus, here's an insider tip: Lori can refill your favorite candle vessels. Just bring in your empties, and we’ll take care of the rest.
Treating Ourselves
As the busy holiday season approaches, it’s the perfect time to indulge in a little self-care and relaxation. Here’s how our team is treating themselves this season.
Lindsey is treating herself to some serious relaxation with a facial at Ceremony—one of Bozeman’s most beloved spas. It’s the perfect fall treat to reset after working in overdrive receiving all our holiday orders for the past couple of months. If anyone deserves some spa time, it's her.
Olly is getting into the fall spirit with her favorite pumpkin drink—The Smashing Pumpkin from Wild Joe’s. It’s her go-to seasonal indulgence, and we can’t blame her.
And finally, Sydney is treating herself to an exciting trip to Munich for Oktoberfest. With the holidays around the corner, there’s no better time for a fun getaway. Cheers (or should we say 'Prost!') to that!
Stay Cozy & Stay Tuned
We hope our fall edition of the Heyday R.E.P.O.R.T. has sparked some seasonal inspiration. As we ease into cooler days and slower moments, there’s nothing better than embracing the beauty of fall with a good book, warm treats, and some cozy new finds.
We can’t wait to share more with you soon, so stay tuned for more recommendations, obsessions, and indulgences as the season continues to unfold. Happy fall, from our Heyday family to yours!
