Want a New Look for Fall? Four Ideas

We do spring cleaning every year. Spring signifies new beginnings and fresh air, sunshine and happiness. But fall can be a time of renewal as well. After the lazy days of summer, you might want to change things up...in your wardrobe and with your hair and makeup. Here are a few ideas for getting a new look for fall...for pennies.

1. Try a new hair color. If you go to a salon, you’ll spend a pretty penny, but if you buy your hair color at the store, you’ll pay a fraction of that cost. If you feel confident enough to do it on your own, that’s great. If not, ask a friend to help. It’s worth the money you’ll save. And a new color will make you feel like a brand new woman.

2. Add weights to your workout. So you already work out. Maybe you walk or jog or maybe you spend a few days a week doing some kind of cardio. You can change the way your body looks by adding weights to your workout. Just a little additional weight will add definition and tone and make you look more in shape than ever. Light weights don’t cost that much but pack a punch when it comes to defining your muscles.

3. Want to try new makeup colors? Find a makeup representative and ask for a free facial. Let the representative know you’re particularly interested in new colors for the season. For example, Mary Kay consultants will give customers a free facial and let them try a new color scheme, and women really watching their money can be a hostess. By hosting a facial party for several friends, you can earn a significant discount on what you plan to purchase (or even freebies).

4. Clean out your closet and go to the nearest consignment shop. While you’re there, look around and find some great deals on nice clothes for the fall. Not only will your closet feel new and uncluttered, you’ll be earning a little cash.

Now you have a new way to celebrate fall—a new season, a new you, and you didn’t have to spend a fortune to do it!
