One thing I always forget during the summer is how the weather can change so quickly during the days leading into fall. Weeks of sunny days and glorious temperatures can suddenly give way to crisper mornings and evenings and here in the West Coast, rain. Which is exactly what happened yesterday.
While I mourn the impending loss of summer (it’s my favorite season after all – give me beaches and the tropics over a skiing holiday anytime), fall’s arrival isn’t necessarily all bad. Fall fashions hit the stores and Hallowe’en and Christmas are around the corner (especially magical when kids are involved). Snuggling up under a blanket reading a good book holds an appeal that just can’t be matched in warmer weather. I’m also more productive as fall approaches both at work and at home.
Like Spring, Fall is a great time to take stock of things. Cleaning out closets, getting back to an exercise routine and fine tuning your diet. It’s also the perfect time to revisit your skin care regimen. Cooler temperatures and lower humidity may cause havoc with skin leaving you to reassess your product choices. Skin often becomes drier and may require exfoliation and more emollient products. For Fall skin care tips, read more here.
Summer isn’t over yet, though. Today it’s sunny. Enjoy the rest of summer.
