After the nice long weekend of excess we just had, we’re feeling that end-of-summer pull to start fresh. Maybe because fall reminds us of blank notebooks, unsharpened pencils, and new clothes, this time of year seems like a better time than New Year’s to make resolutions and stick to them…at least until the holiday parties start. So, here are are few suggestions for what you should resolve to do now that September has begun.
Eat better Because eating hot dogs and barbecue chips might have left you deficient of certain nutrients.
Stop spending money on useless stuff Was that Super Soaker you bought at the drugstore in June really necessary? Nah, but you’ll wear this corduroy skirt nonstop.
Stay active It was easy staying fit when that meant biking to the ice cream shop. There’s still plenty of time to exercise outside, and hiking is a nice activity to do now that the leaves are becoming pretty colors.
Catch up Forget to respond to friends’ emails or phone calls? Most people understand that summer is all about going on vacations and weekend trips, so you can pull the “now that we’re all back in town, let’s get together” card.
Don’t be late If you arrived at work 15 minutes after 9 a.m. every single day this summer, those lazy days are over. Maybe this princess castle alarm clock will help.
Make time for yourself After you’re finished exercising and eating right, do something that you really love to do. For some this means sketching, and for others it means turning on a favorite song really loud and dancing around our apartment.

I have some of my own:
1. Vow that I will go out atleast two week nights per week so as to not develop seasonal effective disorder.
2. Go to yoga at least twice a week. I know I’m not going to do any other form of exercise—years of busted New Years resolutions have taught me that—but yoga is at least something I enjoy.
3. Cut down from 3-4 Diet Cokes a day to 2.

1. I actually was 15 mins late to work all summer, REALLY need to stop that. My solution, taking the time to preplan my outfits the night before. I can shower, do my hair and makeup but its finding an outfit that always makes me run over. This is also a good excuse to go clothes shopping, I can buy those items I need to make complete outfits, yay!’
2. Eat healthier on the weekends. During the week is no problemo since I have work life keeping me busy. But the weekends tend to be drunked in late night beer, drizzled with a friends homemade pastry items and sprinkled with, well, spinkles. No more Rita’s Gelatis for me!
