September is a month full of wonderful celebrations, Fall Equinox being one of them. We are now ¾ of the way through this year! To some it has seemed like time has gone by too slow, to others it seems the year has flown by. Fall brings with it a change in weather, in colors, and in our way of thinking of things as well. We are nearing the end of a year and we try to tie up loose ends before Winter rolls around and we say goodbye to another year. Shorter days means less sunlight and colder weather usually brings about more dryness.
With this in mind, remember to:
Keep up with your sunscreen. Just because there is less daylight, that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t protect our skin while we are outside.
Remind yourself to moisturize daily in order to avoid the cold, dry weather from taking a toll on your skin. Treat your whole body to moisture. Sometimes we forget to pay attention to our arms, hands, legs, etc. when it is dry out and you can end up with dry, ashy skin.
This month, make sure to add a tube of chapstick to your bag and use it often. Our lips are one thing we sometimes forget to moisturize. We recommend sticking to organic products because your skin absorbs everything it comes in contact with. Keep it clean and your body will thank you.
September is also when we celebrate World Heart Day. In our articles we try to provide you with healthy recipes and healthy exercises for our physical health as well as Mindfulness exercises for your emotional health. September 29 is World Heart Day and we encourage you to do something good for your heart, physically and emotionally. Here’s a fun activity that focuses on heart health. Give yourself some ‘adulting points’ for a full Bingo!
