Even though the Summer is coming to an end and the Fall is fast approaching, it’s that last stretch of summer days that can be the most taxing emotionally. You’re so close, yet so far away from those moody, cooler days. Here are some tips and tricks to get through those last few weeks of summer for my fellow fall girlies.

Take time to enjoy the cooler evenings

One thing that late summer brings is cooler evenings. I’ve really been enjoying having all of the windows open and airing out the house. Letting the breeze in or even taking a casual, leisurely stroll while the nights are still longer and the weather is much more comfortable. We’ve been having heatwave after heatwave in my city, so the cool nights are a huge relief and definitely good for the soul. It reminds me that Fall is definitely on the horizon.

Start Planning Your Seasonal Festivals/Markets/Fairs

I love a good market as much as the next person, and this is the time of year when they start advertising the Fall markets in my area, so I’ve been checking out the different dates and finding out which markets I want to visit during the season. It gives you something to look forward to in the upcoming months.

Start Picking Out Your Fall Decor

The other day in Marshall’s, I found the cutest pumpkin pillows that I just had to take home with me. I have also started to stock up on my fall soaps. The stores have started to stack items, so why shouldn’t I?

Just Embrace All Things Fall

You want pumpkin pancakes now? Go ahead and make the pumpkin pancakes? Feel like a Pumpkin Spice latte? Why not indulge! Light a candle, cuddle up on the couch with a Fall romance novel. There really aren’t any rules about what is and is not acceptable for the season, so do what makes you happy!
