WHERE TO BE
Relax & Unwind at Bella Sante Spa
As summer winds down, treat yourself to a relaxing massage or facial at Bella Sante Spa in Lexington. It’s the perfect spot to rejuvenate and enjoy some well-deserved pampering. Whether you’re looking to de-stress or refresh, their team will ensure you leave feeling renewed. Book your appointment today and make the most of these last days of summer.
No Place Like Home: Fall Home Maintenance
With fall fast approaching, it’s time to tackle those home maintenance tasks. Start by cleaning out your gutters, which protect your home from water damage but can become clogged with leaves and debris. Clearing them out now will prevent overflow and potential harm to your roof and foundation. Be sure to check for cracks or sagging, and ensure downspouts direct water away from your home.
WHO TO SEE
Family, Friends & Neighbors at Arlington Town Day
Arlington’s annual Town Day is just around the corner! This family-friendly event is packed with delicious food, live music, local vendors, and activities for all ages. It’s the perfect opportunity to connect with the community and soak up the vibrant local culture. Don’t forget to swing by our booth—we’d love to see you and catch up!
Farm Fresh Fun at Ingaldsby Farm
I recommend visiting a local gem, Ingaldsby Farm. This family-owned farm has been around since 1911, offering a variety of seasonally grown fruits, vegetables, and plants from now through late December. The farm is also home to an adorable collection of animals, including peafowl, pigs, sheep, lambs, goats, chickens, and their charming resident turkey, ‘Georgie.’ It’s the perfect spot for some farmstead fun!
WHAT TO DO
Fall Décor Finds: Cozy Up Your Home
I love kicking off my fall décor shopping by exploring HomeGoods, TJMaxx, Homesense, and Marshalls. From plush throws and decorative pumpkins to scented candles and rustic accents, you’ll find everything you need to create the perfect fall vibe for your home. Whether you’re updating your living room or adding festive touches to your front porch, these spots never disappoint. Happy hunting for your next favorite fall find!
A Sweet Return: Yum Bunnies Cakery
Great news for cake lovers! Yum Bunnies Cakery, a beloved gem that once called Belmont home, has found a new spot in Waltham. After their building was sold last year, they’ve finally found a place to settle down and will be reopening soon. Known for their gorgeous and delicious cakes and cake jars, Yum Bunnies is run by an amazing team who pour love into every creation. Keep an eye out for their grand reopening and get ready to indulge in some of the best sweets around!
I hope these suggestions help you make the most of September. Enjoy the season and all the wonderful experiences it brings!
