Bye bye Summer! Just like that it's September. It happened so fast we didn't get a chance to review August, so let's do it while we can still taste the freshness of the produce, the days are still long(ish) and memories of Labor Day BBQs & bike rides haven't faded away.

Here are some of our August faves that we thought deserved a re-post. They're kind of our transitional mantras -- things that are helping us "fall forward" gracefully, healthfully and beautifully:

• Eat organic, minimally processed foods. They reduce the amount of free radicals produced by the body.
• Our go-to, works with any salad or veggie vinaigrette: Whisk together extra virgin olive oil, rice wine vinegar, along with minced garlic, chives, tarragon, dill, and parsley (or your favorite antioxidant-rich fresh herbs). No salt necessary!
• Cooking and ordering more fish. Most fish—and even oysters—are chockfull of omega-3 fatty acids, which help with circulation, and the antioxidant zinc, which helps with new cell production.
• Ramp up your daily skin maintenance with a few simple rituals:
  • 
    Keep a bottle of alcohol-free REPLERE Pore Minimize & Mattify Skin Tonic at your desk; then just use a cotton pad to swipe over skin. It cleans pores, exfoliates, and reduces the appearance of shine.
  • Layer your daily sunscreen over REPLERE Protect & Rejuvenate Day Lotion, which contains UV-protective antioxidants Coffea arabica extract, pine bark, goji and açai berries, grapeseed, pomegranate, green tea, and vitamins A, C & E.
  • Take a Beauty Shooter daily to get your recommended dose of antioxidants. So easy!
• Try to get some sleep! A new study found that people who don't get enough sleep are more likely to have poorer skin health and skin that ages more quickly. The reason, researchers theorize: Poor sleepers hold onto inflammation longer.
• "I'm one workout away from a great mood." Agree? Yes, we do!
