3 Tips for Hanging onto Summer this Fall with Suave + GIVEAWAY

The biggest thing that sets me apart from most bloggers is my season of choice. While the majority are already looking forward to pumpkin spice lattes and UGG boots in July, I'm never completely ready to let summer go.

Don't get me wrong; I love the moderate temperatures and the abundance of Halloween candy and fresh apples, but lets face it: fall means winter is next. Thanks but no thanks.

I've found the following practices particularly helpful in keeping the spirit of summer alive as I transition into fall:

1. Keep some of your summer wardrobe

Who says you can't wear white after labor day? This favorite light tee of mine is a comfortable favorite worn with shorts and flip flops, but it's just as comfortable in the fall with skinny jeans and boat shoes. It keeps me cozy and keeps the summer vibes going just a little longer.

2. Leave your makeup light: 

Your summer tan doesn't disappear on Labor Day; keep rocking your summer glow and a more natural look with a tinted moisturizer and light pink or nude lip. No need to rush into the darker autumn hues right away!

3. Find your scent: 

I adore fresh scents in the summer like Suave's tropical coconut or my personal mantra, everlasting sunshine. I recently found my perfect transitional suave scent, almond verbena. It has the summer freshness I love that still smells appropriate year round, so I don't have to be sad to bid the scents of summer completely farewell. Aside from being super affordable (they're about $2 each at Target, and my local Giant recently had a 2/$3 sale!), the Suave body washes keep me feeling fresh and clean year-round! 

It's insane how many scents Suave offers. As someone super picky about fragrance, I didn't think they'd be able to appease me, but it's kept my nose happy (and Sean's, as I've noticed him commenting more often on how good I smell!)

I'm so glad I've found my scent. Let Suave and I help you find yours in one of two ways:

a. Take their free quiz here (and comment what you get!)

b. Go to Target (or pretty much any store near you) and try all the scents! These are all the options they had just at my local Target—and there's more at other locations.

To win a surprise beauty bundle including a full size Suave Body wash, take the quiz and let me know your result in the comments! Winner will be contacted by 9/30/2017.
