See, Look, and Feel Your Best Every Day
Waking up ready for the day looks a little different for everyone.
For some, it’s getting a head start before the sun rises with an energizing routine. For others, it’s a slow morning sipping coffee, journaling, and taking a few moments to enjoy mindfulness.
Regardless of what the morning brings, having things that make you feel prepared can make your routine much easier.
Fall is the ideal time to check in and ensure you have everything you need to see, look, and feel your best every day. With the holidays approaching, many of us will soon be focused on seasonal celebrations and giving to others.
Setting aside time for yourself now will make the upcoming season smoother and help you wake up feeling refreshed each morning.
This October, make time for a pre-holiday check-in to care for yourself inside and out!
See Better
Before the holidays are in full swing, it’s a good idea to check your vision, especially if it’s been a while.
An updated vision prescription can help you see the world more clearly (both literally and figuratively).
Do you like contacts, or do you prefer glasses? Maybe you are someone who wears both. Consider what would make your days easiest and give you the most confidence, and schedule an appointment with your eye doctor.
A new set of frames or wearing contacts a few days a week could be just the change you need to see the world better.
Schedule an appointment at Blink Optometry for a new prescription for contacts or glasses.

Look Your Best
Get excited about waking up to start your day knowing you have all the pieces you need to express your personal style.
From your closet to your hairstyle, there’s no shortage of ways to explore looks and find what you love.
Embrace Fall Fashion
There’s something uniquely special about fall fashion. Maybe it’s the layers, the patterns, the rich colors, or a combination of all three. Especially in Carmel’s comfortable Mediterranean climate, the slightly chilled air allows you to show off your favorite pieces — and add some new ones to your collection.
This fall, take inventory of your sweater wardrobe, and consider adding a few quality cotton or cashmere options that you can wear all the way into spring.
Play with patterns and try luxurious textiles that serve as the centerpiece of your outfit.
Consider if there are any trends you’d like to experiment with, and complete your outfits with the season’s latest shoes and accessories.
Something as simple as finding a few pieces you love can give you the refresh you need.
Take Inspiration from a Capsule Wardrobe With Timeless Pieces
If you’re looking to simplify your approach to your closet while still looking put together, take inspiration from a capsule wardrobe with timeless pieces that seamlessly go together.
Treat yourself to a custom-made piece of jewelry that tells a story whenever you put it on. Or create a keepsake piece with a paw print of a furry friend or a fingerprint of a loved one that allows you to carry a reminder of them everywhere you go.
Don’t underestimate the versatility of a quality backpack or bag that can go from work to a weekend getaway.
Embracing quality, core pieces in your wardrobe means you can quickly put together an outfit that boosts your confidence.

Refresh Your Hair for the Season
Take inspiration as the leaves begin to change color around the Monterey Peninsula and give your hair a refresh.
Tap into the beauty of the season with rich browns, bold coppers, and deeper blondes that are reminiscent of fall’s romantic colors. A Kerastase treatment, deep conditioner, or new style can all keep your hair more manageable and make the mornings a little less hectic.
Think about what would make you happy, and treat yourself to a service that brings you joy.
Feel Good Inside and Out
Feeling your best every day means caring for all parts of yourself, inside and out.
Show Your Skin Some Love
Checking in with your skin’s health, especially with the upcoming change from fall to winter, is a relaxing way to prepare for the busy season ahead.
Simplify your morning routine by nourishing your skin with a new moisturizer or cream, or pamper your skin with a whole new routine.

Check In With Your Physical Health
You deserve to wake up feeling strong physically, too.
Do you wake up with aches or pains and keep putting off seeing the doctor? Are you overdue for a checkup?
Before the season gets busy in the coming months, schedule any healthcare appointments you’ve been meaning to. From a routine checkup to those specialist visits you haven’t made time for, feeling your best sometimes starts with something as simple as scheduling an appointment.
Then, evaluate any small habits you can add to help you feel and move better. Something as simple as a few minutes of gentle stretching or getting a comfortable pair of shoes and taking a 10-minute walk can start your day off right.
