10 ways to Welcome September

 I am not sure why, but September feels like the month of new beginnings!

After the summer holidays and the hot weather simmers down we all start thinking of new starts at our usual routine. The need for a makeover. How we all get the urge to change our homes from light and bright to cozy and warm.

Here are 10 things to start your new beginnings in September:

1. Get a new Welcome Mat or put up a Welcome sign on your door or entrance way! This will make your home feel instantly more homey. 

2. Get a new hair cut! Trim the ends of your locks to get rid of dry or split ends. Try a new hair color or give your hair a little mask treatment to get it back in to hydrated shape after all the swimming and sun.

3. Get your first pumpkin! As soon as I start seeing pumpkins around I instantly feel like fall is here. Why not try a pumpkin spice candle :)

 4. Try some earthy tones! You can incorporate these new colors in your outfits, makeup routine, or in your home décor.

5. Stationary! No matter if you work at a desk or not. This is a perfect time to get some new stationary (note pads, post it notes, highlighters, cute pencils and pens). Having something new to wright with will brighten up your day just a little :)

6. Make a new playlist! Some new tunes in the car will help you get in to a great mood. Music can lift you up and calm you down; make a playlist to fit your mood and needs.

7. Take a long bath with all the works! Bath salts, coconut oil, your fave pampering products... Our skin gets super dry from the hot weather and water treatments, so soaking in a warm bath with all the good stuff for your skin in it will make you feel super relaxed and brand new.

8. Choose a new book! There has been a lot of swapping books going on. It is kind of a new trend!!! And this is the best season to start getting cozy with a good book!

9. Plant! Did you know that the month of September is a great planting month? Especially if you plan to plant from cutting. Plants like the chill in the air and feel as if it is a mini spring after the hot summer weather. So get your hands in the dirt and watch your plants and trees grow.

10. Tea Time! Take a tip from the Queen and have High Tea. You will feel like a child again and it will be whimsical and fun. Make a pot of tea, small sandwiches, little cakes and some good company.
