Everyone talks about what to do to get in great shape and feel your best for the summer months. But what about the months beyond swimsuit season? There is so much you can do during summer to prep for fall. Take advantage of the wonderful weather and the most beautiful season (in my opinion) and get ready for your most optimal fall. Here are the things you can start doing this summer to feel your best by fall.

Take A Multivitamin: This may sound like the most basic advice on the planet. But not all vitamins are created equal. Oftentimes multivitamins have a little bit of a lot – meaning they have a lot ingredients packed in but not in the quantity you need. For example, iodine is crucial to the human body and most vitamins don’t even include it. Those that do often don’t have enough of it (you need 150mcg minimum). So you take a multivitamin and think you are doing your body good, but usually you’re not getting everything you need. Dr. Amy Myers (no relation to me) has created a line that is not only beautifully packaged and functionally formatted (for absorption and bioavailability), it’s reasonably priced. AM | MD has a wide variety of products to help with many daily supplemental needs. When I started the multivitamin I noticed an improvement in my energy and nail growth right away, with others benefits following suit. I also love Dr. Amy’s Rest & Restore, and can say without a doubt it works. I was having trouble staying asleep, waking exhausted each morning for a week at 5am. I took Rest & Restore and slept through the night. One night could always be a fluke, but a week later, sleeping all night, I don’t think so.

Get Moving: The sun is shining, the temperature is warm and there is no excuse not to move during summer. Unless maybe it’s 100 degrees, then I give you a pass. But even then, remeber a little bit a day goes a long way! And summer fitness to feel your best for the fall doesn’t have to mean intense cardio or heavy weight lifting (although those are beneficial too) – just getting out for a walk every day has an improvement on your health, your mood and often your waistline. What you walk in also has a huge impact on how you walk. VIVOBAREFOOT allows you to reconnect your feet with the ground and move in the ways that nature intended. The design of VIVOBAREFOOT’s shoes lets your feet respond to the ground, helping to strengthen your feet, ankles and beyond, and the toebed allows plenty of space so your feet don’t feel squished. They take a little getting used, as they truly let you feel the earth, but they are powerful in the work they do. Think about how much your feet endure and all the places they carry you – don’t you want them to be as strong as possible? From hiking to running, swimming to walk, and even festival season, VIVOBAREFOOT has an option for you.

Detox: Summer is often filled with indulgences. Your favorite foods at barbecues, yummy cocktails on the lake and plenty of ice cream. You don’t have to stop enjoying these things, but start detoxing your body while you enjoy them. Did you know you the liver is critical for overall health, including filtering blood, producing bile, metabolizing nutrients and storing vitamins. It plays a key role in detoxification, blood clotting, and immune response. If your liver isn’t functioning properly, not much else in your body will. de-liver-ance can help – and trust me, I’ve tried it and it does. de-liver-ance is an antioxidant elixir that helps maintain liver health, promote mental clarity and support the body’s metabolism by removing harmful toxins. I have taken it both pre-and post meals to help with bloat, but also as a little 3 day cleanse, just once a day for optimal health. The power of antioxidants is impressive.

Protect Your Skin: During the summer months most people are guilty of lots of time in direct sunlight, and while that is good for your body and soul in many ways, it can be damaging ot your skin. Load up on sunscreen to prevent any unwanted skin cancers and wrinkles. This is important even while driving in the car. Think of your hands and their exposure to the sun each time you drive. Hello sun damage and aging. But you can take small steps every day to prevent that! I have loved PoolBar London this summer. The packaging is just the most adorable ever, but this mineral suncreen is also made of clean ingredients and truly works well.

Get Glowing Skin: Once you know you have safeguarded your skin, get it glowing. I am sure many of you have heard of the trendy salmon sperm facial. And while that may initially give you an ick – the history might intrigue you. Salmon skin helps repair human skin cells and has been used for centuries to treat burns and other skin ailments. The modern-day version for beauty is the salmon sperm facial. And while recipients claim it works wonders, it’s not something most people can afford to do regularly. Cotrini Skincare is changing that narrative! Cotrini’s luxe moisturing night cream incorporates salmon DNA right into the product, so you can use it daily. It’s rich and creamy and will leave you moisturized and glowing. Not only are stars from The Valley and Vanderpump Rules fans, my friends and I have tried it and love it. One even said “it literally changed my skin after one night.” Not only can you benefit from the moisturinzing cream, Cotrini makes a top notch micro-dart eye patch. You put it on before bed, wear it throughout the night and wake up looking refreshed. The founders of the brand are also lovely humans, and when you have a lovely human you can rest assured their product is just as lovely.

Destress: Easier said than done, right? While summer can be full of fun, it can also be extremely busy and that can wear on our bodies both physically and mentally. One of the biggest ways to feel your best in any season is to mitigate stress. For some that is as easy as going on a walk or doing a meditation, but for others, it’s very hard to regulate. That’s where the APOLLO comes in. With APOLLO you can “enhance your well-being with wearable technology designed to help you stress less, sleep better and feel more balanced, every day.” APOLLO works similarily to deep breathing, but through vibrations on your skin. The wearable device helps retrain your nervous system so you can effectively manage stress on your own. APOLLO signals safety to your brain through your sense of touch. It’s amazing technology and in today’s busy world, a very simple, easy way to maintain balance and regulate stress. Plus it’s a chic accessory.

Mask Up: No, no, we are not going back to pandemic times. I am referring to the ever popular face masks that we see all over social media. There are so many options available today and many will provide different benefits, but they all bring a touch of relaxation once placed on your face, and beautiful, refreshed skin once removed. KNESKO makes many luxurious masks in beautiful colors that treat different needs. They have Black Pearl for detox, Nanogold for repair and Diamond for radiance, just to name a few. KNESKO also makes masks for your decollete, hands and feet. In just a few miutes, you can revive weary summer skin on any part of your body in time for fall freshness.

Dress Up Your Phone: A seasonal transition is the perfect time for some new fashion, even for your phone. CASEKOO makes cases for all phone types in a variety of fun designs. Not only are they aesthetically pleasing, they are very functional. Each case comes with a magic stand, making it easy to prop your phone in nearly any environemnt. Maybe you need to capture a selfie or you want to watch a movie on an airplane – the magic stand will let you do just that. Pull it down, prop it, then you simply fold it in where it lies flush with the case.

Dress Up Yourself: Sadly as summer starts to close, in most parts of the world the temperatures start to drop. While I don’t want you to dwell on that now, unless you look forward to it, I do want to help provide some wardrobe staples you can purchase now that will take you well into cooler months. The ZOEGOES cardi-wrap is the perfect piece that can be worn many ways, dressing up a look from day to night simply by how you style it. It’s a versatile item to pack for a summer trip or to put away in your closet, ready and waiting for fall. Use code UGCSARAH10 for 10% off!

Pack It Up: It’s much to soon to think of packing away the happiness that comes during the summer months. Get out there and enjoy every second of the season! While you party the summer away, plan out your fall itinerary and in each season be ready to go to any soiree with the perfectly chilled companion. PACKIT makes a freezable container for almost any fun fete you might attend. Whether you need to pack a bag of your favorite treats for the beach, you need to keep your water or wine chilled for a concert, are planning a picnic in the park this fall or going to be making your kids school lunches, I guarantee PACKIT has something to help you. Their proudcts, built with ECOFREEZE technology are the coolest because they can be placed in the freezer, grabbed when needed, packed up and just like that, your’re ready to roll to your next event.
