Sweater weather is on its way — even if here in Indiana, we still have a few weeks of summer sunshine left. That’s where honey comes in! It’s sweet, nourishing, and perfect for bridging the warm days of early September with the cozy vibes we look forward to in October.
To celebrate National Honey Month this September, we’re sharing four bee-autiful Farmhouse Fresh honey favorites, each paired with a simple “self-care recipe” to help you savor the season. Read on to discover how you can transition from summer to fall with honey!
Recipe: Self-Care Sunsets
Slip into your comfiest lounge pants, pour yourself a glass of iced apple cider, and smooth on FarmHouse Fresh’s Honey Heel Glaze. This lightweight glaze gives you an instant pedicure by softening rough, cracked heels overnight. Then, pull on your favorite comfy socks and head outside to enjoy golden hour before evenings start to turn chilly.
Recipe: Sunday Slowdown
Run a warm shower with your favorite playlist in the background while you massage FarmHouse Fresh’s Honey Lavender Body Polish to gently exfoliate your skin with a lingering, soothing scent. Its fine sea salt grains won’t irritate your skin, so you can enjoy soft skin as you slip into fresh pajamas. Then, curl up with a good book before bed to savor these last warm nights before autumn fully arrives.
Recipe: Movie Night Glow-Up
Pop a bowl of popcorn and cue up your favorite early 2000s rom-com as you gently rub FarmHouse Fresh’s Sunflower Honey Butter into your arms and legs during the opening credits. This decadent, creamy butter melts to deeply nourish and soften even the driest skin. Once you’re wrapped in your coziest throw blanket, you can sink into the movie while your skin soaks up every drop of moisture to preview the cozy nights autumn has in store.
Recipe: Good Morning, Sunshine
Strike a match and let a glowing candle set the mood while you scoop up FarmHouse Fresh’s Whipped Honey Body Polish in the shower. As it exfoliates your skin, its warm notes of honey, clove, and nutmeg wrap you in that crisp, first-day-of-fall feeling. Once you step out of the shower, moisturize with a lotion like FarmHouse Fresh’s Serene Moon Dip Body Mousse, whose hints of winter mint, apple, and amber will leave you with silky skin as you head into the day with autumn just around the corner.
