How to keep your spirits up during fall?
After a summer full of sunshine, three-day holiday weekends, and shortened work hours, we need some self-care ideas to help us get back into our autumn morning routine. As the days get shorter and your pile of work emails gets larger, you're going to need to get creative about your “me" time. To keep yourself from getting down during these shorter days, here's a list of 6 seasonal self-care ideas that will get you through early sunsets and preparing all those weeknight dinners.
1. Treat yourself to some new clothes
One of the best things about fall is that chilly temps = sweater weather. If your jumpers are looking more pill-y than cozy, treat yo’self to a few new autumn staples.
2. Sleep for seven to nine hours
Take advantage of that extra hour from the daylight savings time switch and catch up on your sleep. Go all out with a luxurious night routine that includes clean sheets, a hot shower, and a face mask. Heaven.
You can use this face mask. This is a perfect hydrating overnight treatment.
Featuring an antioxidant-rich blend of natural actives, Pomegranate Superfood Regenerating Sleeping Mask is the perfect treatment for dull, thirsty skin. Using only potent and pure ingredients, this nourishing mask helps to create a brighter, healthier-looking complexion.
Don’t forget to use your fab point to get an extra discount.
3. Jump into your favorite YouTube or indoor workout class
You probably cut back on your gym visits and spin classes during the summer months in favor of working out in the beautiful sunny weather (plus your budget loved it), but rain, wind and chillier weather is back. Resist the temptation to go into full couch potato mode and treat yourself to your favorite workout app or YouTube class.
4. Get our “Prep for Fall Kit“
We recommend you get this kit. This is the perfect surprise set of 5 pampering products for your whole body + a pair of new hot underwear! It’s going to be a great weekend, it’s even better than going to the spa!
5. Drink Plenty of Water
Water is an essential nutrient the brain and body depend on to maintain optimal function. Make it a daily routine to start your day with a glass of water – and keep refilling it throughout the day! I personally like to have a bottle of water next to my desk so I can be constantly reminded to drink lots of water.
Plus, don’t let your skin dry out because the heating’s going full blast!
6. Enjoy the last bits of warm weather
Depending on where you live, you may already be feeling a chill in the air. I love cooler weather and bundling up in a sweater, but sunshine is good for us and as we move toward winter, this becomes less and less. So, make the most of the remaining warm, sunny days by spending some time outside.
As you can see, there are plenty of different ways to practice self-care. It’s great to have so many options, but it’s easy to fall into an all-or-nothing mindset and get overwhelmed and feel like you should be doing them all. So keep in mind: Do whatever feels right to you.
If you’re just getting started with self-care, start small. Something is definitely better than nothing! Every little thing you do for yourself matters.
I hope you enjoy these simple self-care ideas for autumn. Try them out and see which ones work for you!
