Happy Monday. This is a simple reminder that there is only one more Monday in the month of August. We are all about to moving into Fall like activities. I love Summer nothing makes me happier for Summer than Fall. Fall is one of the times that the weather gets a little crisper and the comfort food begins to flow. So how do you take your time to prepare for it all? Let’s look ahead! Here is the Fall preview.
Fall Preview Refresh-Ready for it?
The issue is clear that in first few weeks of Fall we are still dealing with warmer weather. There are a few things that you should be looking to refresh. One is ladies, your makeup. Do you need new brushes? What about new makeup in general. I had to transition to a darker shade due to tanning this Summer. So I will revert to my go to shade for the Fall. Although to keep my skin healthier I don’t wear as much make-up I do have to buy some more foundation as well as concealer.
Concealer is my go to. When the Seasons change, I always take an inventory. So ladies here is a listing from Real Simple on when to ditch your makeup. It also is a time to focus on a facial to get your skin ready for cooler weather too. I suggest getting a hydra-facial at OVME.
Another area to look to refresh is your undergarments. This is for men and women. The undergarments with the holes. bras that don’t hold anything, it’s time to throw those out and replace them. This is why I always look forward to the Labor Day sales, I tend to replace my undergarments during these sales. Get what makes you feel comfortable. Focus on sets of things like bra and matching underwear and things that have cotton in them to help things breath. If you’re into boots this is the time to go through and see what you actually need. Don’t overspend-save money by shopping your closet first.
Reorganizing Everything from the Home to your Life
It’s time to get things in working order. Maybe you have been home all Summer long and you’re headed back to the office? You have had the privilege of not having to organize your home to its full potential. It’s time to fix that. Let’s get the home organized. This is a great time to be honest. One man’s trash is another man’s treasures. If you haven’t used it or don’t want it, get it ready to give away or sell. People love selling in Fall Yard Sales. Now is the perfect time to downsize. Here is my Amazon list for all things Fall!
Make sure whatever it is that you are considering to sell or give away is in working order. Give what you want someone to give or sell to you. Also let’s reorganize rooms, and pantries etc. I love to shift my pantry since the children will be in school I won’t need heavy snacks. It’s time to shift my snacks to some healthier options too. I will continue to work from home so I want to be ready for my own snacking as well. Here is my Amazon Store list for organizing your home.
Do your Home Cleaning Products Need a Refresh?
I have been buying more cleaning products that are natural. However I have been making a baby stock pile. Fall means Flu Season. Couple that with Covid-19 and Variants I want to keep the surfaces of my home as clean as possible. I am more concerned with the most touched surfaces of the home. So this means door knobs, railings, fridge handles, etc. I had to take stock of my supplies.
Since I had done a great job buying before Covid-19 I am just starting to get low. It’s time to replenish for Fall and Winter. Also get you some Clorox wipes and Lysol. They are still being limited by stores but they are at least available. Don’t let the Fall get too deep in and these items run out or become scarce again. I am not suggesting you buy them all but an extra one or two are plenty to start gathering. Here’s a list to start you getting ready for some cleaning from my Amazon store.
Crock Potting Recipes You Need Now
I am not sure if you area a Crock Pot cooker like I am, but if not, pull it out. I have 2 of them. Who doesn’t love being able to start a meal and come home/be home and smell the goodness? Its a great way for those who are busy. Even with working from home, I like being able to prepare a meal and forget about it. I want to ensure that my family is eating well but not having to spend my whole day to do so. If you aren’t quite the Crock Pot whiz like I am, remember almost anything can be made. Good Housekeeping and Allrecipes have some of the best online recipes you can try. Also you can buy a Crock Pot recipe book.
There are a million one things we can focus on for the Fall. From our clothes, home, cleaning products, home office gear, you want to be prepared. I find that the more prepared you are it takes the sting. Also if you deal with anxiety for back to school and beyond, tomorrow’s blog will talk about the things that I am noticing from my own children and myself that I hope will help you. Be on the lookout. I hope this Monday the wheels start to turn. You are rearranging your homes to make it more comfortable as the weather changes and we possibly will be a little more indoors. Have an amazing Monday or whatever day you read this. If your Monday is less stellar than you want, read this blog to reset.
