How to Get Over End-of-Summer Blues

The mornings are cooler, the evenings are darker and it feels like we've fast-forwarded from summer sunshine to pumpkin-spiced everything.

If you're feeling a bit of that seasonal slump, don’t worry. We’re here with tips to help you settle into the cosiness 👇

1. 🍁 Create an Autumn Bucket List


You know that feeling when you blink, the season’s over and you’re like: 'Wait, I didn’t do anything fun!'? Not this year, make an autumn bucket list instead! Pumpkin picking, cosy movie nights in, collecting crunchy leaves - whatever floats your boat. When you’ve got something to look forward to each week, the colder days feel a lot more bearable.



2. 🍲 Shift to a Stew & Soup Mindset

It’s time to embrace the warming comfort of autumn foods. Hearty stews and chunky soups are the ultimate way to warm up as the temperatures drop. Check out our favourite recipes for soups and other warming dishes.


3. 🦠 Prepare Your Germ Defence Kit


Temperatures have dropped, schools are back and so are the germs! Stock up on hand sanitisers, tissues, vitamins and cold and flu products before it's too late.

4. 🌟 Focus on the Good Stuff


The summer might be gone but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy the magic of autumn. Think cosy evenings, soft blankets, hot chocolate in hand and the glow of fairy lights. It’s the perfect excuse to slow down and enjoy some me-time (yes, I’m talking to you—take a break!). And don’t forget to venture out for those crisp autumn walks.

It might seem like sunny poolside days are another memory now, but don’t let this season defeat you. Enjoy it!
