Brat summer is out, poised fall is in

Summer 2024 will be remembered.
The Biebers announced their pregnancy, Rhode launched her first blush, we heard "Espresso" about a million times, watched the Olympics, overused the word "brat," and discovered a new one—"demure."

After such a remarkable summer, what does fall have to offer other than pumpkin spice lattes and cashmere sweaters? We'll tell you.

Fall is the moment to slow down, get back into the routine, and refocus ourselves.

As much as we love the forgiving messy summer hair due to the sky-high humidity, there's something undeniably chic about styled hair, plumped skin, and a cozy sweater. However, let's be realistic—work is getting busy, and your semester is ramping up fast. It's not the time to reinvent your routine, just to upgrade it slightly. Here's what a poised fall has to offer.

First on the list is getting back on a healthy sleep schedule. The sun is setting earlier, and you want to have full energy while it's still light outside. We've all heard of the circadian rhythm that influences our alertness, hunger, mood, and metabolism, but did you know that the 20,000 nerves responsible for your internal clock are located right next to your eyes and are directly affected by light? So turn off that phone and get your beauty to sleep.

Next, we need to talk about hair damage and hairstyles. Healthy hair doesn't have to mean a "no-heat hair mess," and a hairstyle doesn't have to lead to brittle hair either. As much as we all love a sleek back style, frequent pulling of the hair can cause traction alopecia over time. If you wear your hair in a tight bun every day and have started noticing some hair loss around your face, we have a tutorial right here that shows how to achieve that sleek look with less tension. If you're particularly concerned about your hairline, you might consider introducing scalp serums such as the Genesis Serum, the Initialist Serum or the Extentionist Serum to help those baby hair grow back quickly. That's why we love the effortless bun with bangs—so messy, so chic, and so mindful of your hairline! We also adore accessorized hairstyles for their flair and protection. Head scarf or headband and you're ready out the door.

The return of hot coffee is another delight that falls has to offer. While cinnamon may not be the makeup trend this year, it's definitely the must-have addition to our warm coffee. Not only does it taste absolutely divine in an espresso, but it's also packed with antioxidants. Nobody has time to carve a pumpkin and add it to their morning coffee, but we all have some cinnamon in the pantry. Try it—you'll thank us.

All that to say; This fall, be chic and stay poised.
