September is always a tricky one. On one hand, the early Christmas spirit creeps in (thanks, Mariah). On the other, the rains linger, the days feel sluggish, and Halloween’s shadows are just around the corner. It’s a month that tests energy and patience, so here are a few finds that helped me power through the slump.
As a mom, I’m guilty of reclaiming “me time” late at night by scrolling endlessly on the couch instead of sleeping. But this bedding set changed that. It’s so soft and cooling, it practically lures me to bed earlier than planned and sometimes keeps me there longer. A great gift for anyone who struggles with sleep.
If anything can get me out of my new cozy sheets, it’s the smell of this coffee. I’ve tried plenty of grinds, but this blend from FatSeed hits differently. Bold, smooth, and fragrant, it’s the perfect kick to start a rainy September morning.
3. Giovanni Ultra-Volume Hair Spray
My fine hair tends to fall flat fast (think cartoon character with lifeless strands). This spray from Healthy Options is a game changer. It gives my hair enough lift to look alive without weighing it down, making rainy-day errands feel a little less gloomy.
4. Andante Slow & Steady Socks
Heels are a thing of the past for me, it’s sneaks all the way. These mantra socks from Andante pair perfectly with loafers or sneakers, and the tiny reminders stitched in give me just the right boost on rough days. Cozy and comforting, just how September should be.
On a recent trip to humid Singapore, I survived with just this concealer in my bag. No cakey finish, no melting off—just reliable coverage that kept me looking fresh for photos. It’s small, mighty, and a genuine lifesaver.
