Labor Day Blues

Do you have those after Labor Day blues? The Labor Day holiday seems to unofficially mark the end of summer and the start of another season - even if it is just a mental shift. For example, are you one of the people who go by the "no white pants  after Labor Day" fashion rule? 

Yep, Labor Day usually marks the end of carefree summer days. Well, just because summer may be over and school is in full swing it doesn't mean we have to cave in to those blues. Looking for ways to bring the summer back?How about recreating those things that bring back favorite summer memories?

Summer to my kids mean s'mores. There are a couple of ways you can relive this American past time indoors. No, I'm not suggesting you start a fire in your living room. There are safer ways to have the s'more experience inside. 

One way to have this tasty treat and recreate a campfire without having to cut wood and start a fire is to buy an indoor s'mores maker. We have a kids Hershey's s'mores maker. A simple DuckDuckGo search yields many options for indoor s'more makers. By the plethora of options it seems like there are many who pine for s'mores after season!

While the family is eating s'mores you can make yourself an adult summer drink like the Pina Colada. What I like about this drink is how easy it is to make it a virgin drink so the kids can have some too. Strawberry or Mango Daquiris, Cucumber Watermelon Sangria, Iced Tea are also great drinks to bring the summer back. Remember to put the decorative drink umbrella in your glass!!

Another way to keep hanging onto summer is bringing the scents of summer inside. Fruity body wash or aloe vera hand soap help. You can also get an indoor fragrance such as Hawaiin Suntan Fragrance Oil Wisk that won't let summer out of your smell. It contains coconut, passion fruit, guava, pineapple, banana, melon, and grapefruit. All things that say "summer isn't gone!" 

If you still can't let go of summer yet, there are Coppertone scented products that are sure to make summer linger longer in your mind. These include shampoo, shea butter lotion, roll-on, hair conditioner, and more. To get these and find more related items, go here:

Labor Day blues or not, enjoy the chances you have to recreate the best of the passing season.
