Autumn Essentials
WORDS BY KOURTNEY MURRAY
As autumn’s gentle chill begins to settle in, it invites a shift toward the cozy comforts of the season. At Sage Haus, we’re embracing this transition by turning the ordinary into the intentional. Here are some of my personal favorites for this fall — from indulgent scents to skincare staples and causes close to the heart.
Lavender Earl Grey Tea from Los Poblanos Organic Farm
There is something inherently grounding about the ritual of tea, particularly as the pace of life slows with the shorter days. The Lavender Earl Grey from Los Poblanos, known for its subtle blend of floral & citrus notes, has become an essential part of my afternoon routine. Whether I’m enjoying it as is or turning it into a creamy London fog, it’s been the perfect companion for those early afternoons when I need a moment of calm & a little extra dose of caffeine. I first discovered this tea on my road trips to Arizona, but if Albuquerque, New Mexico isn’t on your travel list, don’t worry — they ship nationwide.

Revive Eye Serum by Beauty of Joseon
As the weather changes, so does our skincare routine. Beauty of Joseon’s Revive Eye Serum is a new staple in my routine, and I’ve been loving the results. With Korean beauty’s focus on nourishing & glowing skin, this serum is perfect for withstanding the shift in temperature and the stress of this busy fall market.

Brooklyn Candle Studio
No fall favorites list is complete without the warm glow of a candle. Introduced to me by two of my favorite New York Agents, Aaron and Geoff, I’ve been drawn to the Brooklyn Candle Studio’s house scent Brooklyn this season. It captures the essence of late nights in cozy cocktail bars, with notes of wild sage, cassis, and orange blossom mingling in the air—reminiscent of jazz-filled rooms & conversations that linger into the night. Made with 100% soy wax and lead-free cotton wicks, these candles are vegan, cruelty-free, and phthalate-free, making them as refined as the memories they evoke.
In my most recent order, I added the Catskills scent to my cart, and I can’t wait for it to arrive — it promises to bring a bit of that rustic, autumnal charm into my home.
Flat White // Morning Mixtape
One of my favorite daily rituals is sipping on a hot cup of coffee & doing the New York Times crossword, all while listening to our Flat White playlist. It’s the perfect backdrop for those cozy, quiet mornings.
As we transition into fall, it’s the little things that make a big difference. Whether it’s sipping on a cup of tea, lighting a candle, or supporting a cause close to your heart, these autumn favorites will help you create a season filled with warmth & intention.
