How to bring fall into your October no matter what the temperature is outside.

• Apple Cinnamon Lip Scrub -This is an easy weekly routine to incorporate into your life. The payoff is soft, smooth lips! Plus, the leftover lip scrub is really yummy on a piece of toast. Ingredients: 1 tsp cold applesauce, 1 tsp coconut oil, 3 tsp brown sugar, dash ground cinnamon. Mix all ingredients well. Immediately apply a small amount of the mixture to your lips and gently scrub. Lick off any remaining residue. Follow up with a moisturizing lip balm.

• Autumn Spice Air Freshener - The scent of a simmering pot of spices in your home is wonderful for this time of year. Ingredients: a handful of cinnamon sticks, 1 TBL of ground or whole cloves, 1 TBL ground nutmeg, a handful of dried orange peel. Put all ingredients in a medium stock pot and add enough water to cover spices/peel. Bring water to a simmer, adding more water as necessary to keep ingredients covered. Sit back and enjoy the natural scent of autumn. Never leave simmering pot unattended.

• Soothing Pumpkin Face Mask - This mixture of pumpkin (packed with serious moisture & natural enzymes) and honey will soothe your dry skin and make you crave pumpkin pie. Ingredients: 4 tsp plain pumpkin puree, 2 tsp raw honey, 1/4 tsp oil of your choice, optional add-in: 1 tsp clay of choice. Mix all ingredients well. Apply a thin layer of mixture to your entire just-cleansed face. Avoid eye area. Sit back and allow the mask to feed your skin for approximately 10 min. Rinse with warm water. Enjoy your soft, hydrated skin.
