September in the Lowcountry and Savannah feels like a turning point. The summer heat lingers, but the rhythm of life shifts—kids head back to school, routines return, and fall slowly peeks around the corner. It’s the perfect time for a reset—a chance to refresh your home, your routines, and your mindset before the busy holiday season.
Here are some practical ways to start fresh this September:
Refresh Your Home
A clean, organized home sets the tone for a clear mind.
Declutter summer items—store beach towels, coolers, and pool gear.
Add cozy touches for fall: light blankets, coastal-inspired candles, or warm lighting.
Freshen up your entryway—it’s the first thing guests (and you) see.

Focus on Wellness
After months of summer indulgence, September is a great time to realign your health.
Try seasonal Lowcountry produce like okra, sweet potatoes, or figs.
Get outside—September evenings are perfect for walks along the Savannah River or Lowcountry trails.
Start small habits: daily stretching, morning journaling, or unplugging before bed.

Revisit goals you set in January.
Break them into small, achievable steps for the last quarter of the year.
