Man oh man you guys has it felt like a long summer here in Phoenix. I’ve never been so ready to see fall make its grand entrance! Here in Phoenix the summer is kind of like winter for all you cooler climate people – we hide, we hibernate, outdoor activity is scarce, workouts go to the wayside and our typically healthy, active lifestyle is replaced what we call “summer survival mode” meaning whatever the path of least resistance or least effort is, we take it. I know I know! It’s slightly lame and embarrassing, but those week-long 110+ temps are brutal! Which is why for us, the second fall rolls around it’s like coming out of a long winter and seeing signs of spring for the first time, and that always inspires us to re-energize and optimize the daily routine we neglected all summer long. A little “routine refresh”, as we like to call it, which we always always always kick off by getting back to making the Nature Made® vitamins and supplements that keep our minds and bodies firing on all cylinders a part of our daily routine again. And I think our friends at Nature Made® are on our wavelength because the same awesome Nature Made® vitamins and supplements that we all know and love are now packaged with a brand new label and a pretty yellow cap that’s as fun as it is easy to spot when you’re cruising the aisles at your neighborhood Walmart. Same great products, fresh new look!

I’m not even a little bit afraid to admit that great branding just warms my design-loving heart, and Nature Made®’s fun, contemporary new label and cute yellow cap not only hits me right in the design feels, it’s also super easy for me to spot on the shelf in the vitamin aisle when I’m trying to get in and get out on my weekly Walmart run. And that’s not only because the new label’s such a stunner – their genius design team made sure to keep some of the key design elements that help us all identify our favorite Nature Made® supplements like the yellow color, the green leaves, and that familiar brown bottle, so it won’t seem like a stranger on the shelves, you’ll just see a refreshed friend! And this little label update to usher in the new season is exclusive to Walmart and Walmart.com, so if you, like us, rely on your neighborhood Walmart for all of your essentials, you’ll get to experience the branding delight right alongside us!
And now that we’re diving into revamping and optimizing basically our entire daily routine for fall, we thought it would be fun to take you guys through all of the ways we tackle refreshing and re-energizing that routine, from wellness to work to home decor and wardrobe, not only to inspire you guys in case you felt that summer slump and are ready to recalibrate, but also so you can share your refreshed fall routine with us, too! We love hearing all about your lives and being inspired by the routines that fill your days and keep you feeling happy and healthy. We always learn so much from you, so make sure you drop us a comment and let us know how you’re getting “back to routine” this fall so we can be inspired by your awesomeness!
Morning Deep Stretch + Nature Made® Vitamins
This one is my absolute favorite way to revitalize and refresh my routine for fall and help me start every day on the right foot – a deep morning stretch session right alongside a tall glass of water and my Nature Made vitamins and supplements. When I keep up my workout routine but don’t give stretching the attention it so deserves, I feel it. Everything starts to hurt. But when I’m wake up, head out to the backyard and spend a few minutes doing those deep stretches that keep my muscles (and my mind) happy, I feel like it sets the tone for my entire day and keeps those aches and pains at bay and generally improves any activity I do. And bonus – it’s the perfect opportunity to have a morning snack and take my Nature Made® vitamins! Right now my go-to Nature Made® morning combo is the Nature Made® Burp-Less Ultra Omega-3 from Fish Oil 1000 mg Softgels and the Nature Made® Vitamin D3 25 mcg Softgels, 500ct

Post-Work Sunset Hikes
This is one of Chris’ tried and true ways to inject fresh energy into your daily routine and recharge your mind and body when you’ve been living in the summer slump and hiding indoors in Phoenix. Instead of coming straight home from the office or wherever you work and binging TV and piling on chores, get in some fresh air and physical activity to decompress and give your brain a break! When we spend all day working inside and staring at a screen, then come home and stare at a screen for a few more hours or pack our nighttime hours with to-dos, our days start to feel a little lackluster and it shows in our mood and the quality of our work. When we take an hour to get outside after work and get our heart rate up or just take in the sunset and the fresh air, it makes a world of difference in our overall wellness. Game. Changer.
Cozy, Refreshed Fall Home Decor
You guys know it wouldn’t be any kind of routine refresh for us if our home decor wasn’t involved! We always love sharing the ways we’re cozying up our home for fall, and that doesn’t mean that we’re giving every space around our home a complete overhaul to make way for a bunch of new “stuff”. No no no. It just means making small little swaps or changes around the house that re-energize our creative minds and make our home feel cozy and snuggled up for the new season. Our home is our happy place and where we spend most of our time, and what our home feels like, from the inside out, is such a big contributor to our everyday moods, so it only makes sense that we’d give this part of our routine as much attention as anything else! Our seasonal decor refreshes usually involve easy, affordable DIY projects that fill us up creatively and make us smile, and our very favorite fall DIY decor project – these easy DIY scent pots – are the perfect way to inject that cozy fall feeling into your home with minimal effort or dollars spent!
Updated Fall Wardrobe
When it comes to getting dressed, there’s nothing I love more than fall fashion. It’s the best! I love the rich fall color palette, cozy fall fabrics, and of course, a great pair of brown leather booties, and busting out my fall wardrobe always feels like a fresh start. Getting dressed with confidence and comfort in the morning is such a huge part of my daily routine and always sets the mood for my day, so giving it a little refresh for fall right alongside the rest of the important elements of my daily routine feels like a great way to help reset, recharge and revitalize my entire routine after sadly feeling like the only thing I could wear all summer in steamy Phoenix was workout clothes that would save me from sweat!
Wellness-Driven Dinner Routine
As I mentioned, summer is like our winter here in Phoenix, which means hibernation eating that requires as little effort or prep as possible is usually the dinner trap we fall into. But now that the weather’s cooling off, it’s high time to get back to the healthy dinner routine we know and love, and that starts by making sure veggies of all kinds and colors are at the forefront of our dinner plans. Cooking at home, keeping it wholesome and using ingredients that make our minds and bodies feel great is where all of our fall meal plans start! I’ve been dying to make my way through a few clean eating cookbooks to inject a little inspiration and creativity into my cooking, and I think this season is the season I make it happen!
Water, Water and More Water
Out of sheer necessity this summer I discovered something about my routine that seems really, really basic, but that made me wonder how I’d never realized this before – the more water I drink, the better I feel. I know I know… it seems like a no-brainer, right? But for some reason I just never made drinking a lot of water throughout the day and staying completely hydrated a real priority, or I somehow thought I was drinking enough water without realizing that my efforts on the hydration front were sub-par. Not only has drinking tons of water all day, every day completely improved my complexion (seriously, it’s mind blowing how much better my skin looks and feels when I’m properly hydrated), but it gives me more energy and just generally makes me feel awesome. So this fall, it’s all about water for me and it’ll be front and center in my daily routine. As I mentioned above, that starts in the morning right alongside a deep stretch session and my Nature Made® vitamins!
Don’t forget – your favorite Nature Made® vitamins and supplements may have a cool new look that’s exclusive to Walmart stores and Walmart.com, but you’ll still find them right where they always are in the vitamin aisle (or online like I do!) and you’ll still get the same great products you know and love when you buy! And make sure drop us a comment and tell us all about how you start fresh for fall and re-energize your daily routine. We can’t wait to hear!
