What do you love about fall? Clearly our staff's favorite season, here's what the Three Girls team enjoys about this time of year: 

Erika: "Fall is by far my favorite time of year! I love the cool, crisp air, the scent of smoke from fireplaces, the changes in the colors of leaves and the special quality the sunlight has during this season. Fall also ushers in the beginning of the holiday season which I love. In addition, Dennis and I got married October 11th and my birthday is November 25th, so fall is also special because of those dates. This year we're also growing pumpkins in our garden so we'll have fun picking those, carving some for Halloween and using some to make pumpkin pies, pumpkin soup and pumpkin bread!" 

Emily: "I don't like summer heat, so I love it when the weather starts to cool off. Plus I'm a huge fan of rain, wind and cloudy days! It's so pretty when the leaves start to change color, and the fall welcomes all sorts of reasons to celebrate in our family: Thanksgiving, Christmas, our wedding anniversary and my daughter's birthday!" 

Natalie: "I love everything about the fall! I love the rain, the falling leaves, pumpkin carving and the cold/crisp weather." 

Beth: "What don't I love about fall?! Autumn is my absolute favorite season-the crunchy leaves, the dimming sunlight and my birthday! Some of my favorite things to do during fall are go to corn mazes, visit haunted houses and pick out the best carving pumpkin at a local pumpkin patch. This year, my husband's farm will be doing U-Pick pumpkins! I also love when the leaves start to change colors and fall from the trees; it's a time of renewal and always makes me feel brand new!"

Have you seen our clients in the news recently? Here are a couple of recent media placements we secured: 

SVT Nyheter (Swedish News) asked for Chrystal Bougon's take on Nicole Arbour's "Dear Fat People" video. "The video has hurt many of her clients who have grown tired of still being the subject of scurrilous and malicious joke. Since Bougon started her shop three years ago, she's almost a daily victim of harassment." Click here to see the article and watch the video. 

BroBible picked up Adam & Eve's latest infographic about Americans and sexually transmitted diseases and infections. "This infographic which covers just about everything anyone needs to know about the state of STDs/STIs in America might make at least a few of you think twice before ditching the condom." See the article and infographic here.
