Ashen skin, under eye circles, chipped toenails...sounds like fall is in full force. The hardest part of starting the school year is watching summertime fade. So hold on to the golden days and bring the heat to Main Street with these sizzling suggestions.

1. Glow on
Warm weather and physical activity give an irresistible liveliness. To maintain, hit the Little Bob and keep a diligent exercise routine.  Purchase a self-tanning moisturizer from Happy Harry's and apply daily. We love Jergens natural glow; at $8.99 per bottle it's an affordable way to glow on. Make sure that you take extra special care of your skin during this time: exfoliate weekly, remove your makeup nightly, and wash thoroughly with a gentle cleanser. Maintenance is key, as decreased sunlight can lead to sudden breakout. When you need an extra pick-me-up, dust your cheekbones with a touch of shimmering bronzer.

2. Tousle those tresses
Get beach hair (sans beach) while you sleep! Using a conditioning mousse, comb product throughout your hair, scrunch, and rest. In the morning, transform your waves from bed head to surfer girl in a snap. Use a midsized curling iron to create loose, messy curls scattered throughout, starting from root to end. Hair that isn't just washed will hold better (and it's more convincing). Spritz with a little salt water and you'll feel like you stepped right off Dewey beach.

3. Ice Ice Baby
Never underestimate the power of a tall iced beverage. Carrying an extra large Café Americano from Brew HaHa will transport you right back to warmer times. Tealicious and Central Perk are some other beverage shops that stay icey cool year round.

4. SPF it up
Even when it's not sunny out, a cloudy day in Newark can get you seriously scorched. Apply SPF 15 daily to maintain supple, healthy skin. As an added bonus you'll probably smell like coconuts, an instant sun-shiney throwback.

5. Create your oasis
The blue hens may have closed the book on summer, but you can still keep the fire alive in your abode. Hang a hammock in the corner of your dorm for a year-round chillout spot. Baby bonsai from Main Street Florists are fun and friendly plants that are easy to maintain. Load up your iTunes with summer jams that'll keep you rockin' all year long. As long as you keep the carefree spirit of summertime with you, winter doldrums won't dare knock at your door.
