Whether you believe it or not (based on this heatwave we’re having!)... the “Holiday Season” is just weeks away! Before we know it, stores will be “Decking the Halls” and kids will be singing it 18 hours a day! 

Thus, we decided to show you all of the fun things around Cincinnati that we’ve scouted that might help you get a jump on the most wonderful, yet hectic, time of the year. Please support local and know that 50% more of your dollars spent in our community stay here through jobs, taxes and more spending! #livelovelocal

1. Gift Tags from @ Designs by Dawson // Be ready for the teacher gifts and all of those that come early in December, by designing and ordering them in October! 

2. Get the kids “holiday-ready” with outfits from Rory Maxwell // All holiday arrivals have landed and sweaters, dresses and pants are all there (although we know they might be worn once, they’re needed!)

3. Combat these changing temps by staying in shape with Dance Factory Fitness // You don’t have to be a dance to have fun and sweat (and you’ll never know an hour went by!)

4. Spruce up your outdoor spaces with My Flower Service // Leave making your doorstep stunning to Shannon and her team! They’re amazing! 

5. Get a start on creating the perfect custom suit for the men in your life from Trevor Furbay Bespoke Tailor // He might even have it ready for those holiday parties! 

6. Start ordering those custom gifts everyone loves so much from Just Add Embroidery // Either bring in special things you want monogrammed, or shop in the store for some amazing ideas! 

7. Create more personalized gifts -- using your own hands! // Create ornaments from Cincinnati Needlepoint and have them ready by Xmas morning! 

8. Schedule those haircuts (& color, in our case!) in advance so all photos are the best // We recommend the teams at all Mitchell’s Salon & Day Spa 4 locations! 

9. Don’t forget about YOU!! Take some time to be mindful, rested and strong, and our favorite place to do all of this is with Anna and her team at Pure Barre Kenwood.

 Happy September! It’s been a BUSY Summer around TSG Cincinnati, and we are excited to get in the swing of Fall and hope you are too! 

Here is a list of our favorite things this month - and they’re all about taking great care of yourself - mind and body - around Cincinnati. We have scouted out some of the best, most relaxing and important things you can do to keep things ‘in check’. 

Read below for more details on all of the self care we recommend this month!

1. Feel the Burn during a workout (”camp”) at Burn Bootcamp

2. Skincare consultation @ Mona Dermatology

3. Attend Cooking with Caitlin’s “Third Thursday’s” at CWC Restaurant in Wyoming, OH

// Spice up your daily meals with recipes and more from Cooking with Caitlin. This culinary experience offers surprising twists on everyday food with aim of building your culinary experience.

4. Teeth whitening at Cornerstone Dental Group

// Too much wine and coffee leaving your teeth dull and stained? Make an appointment at Cornerstone Dental Group to add some shine to you smile!

5. Acupuncture @ Lotus Integrative Therapy in Mariemont

// Feeling “off” and don’t know why? Ask Ingrid to help you! You’ll be amazed at the multitude of benefits that acupuncture can provide you -- from headaches, restlessness, anxiety -- you name it! She can help put you at more peace! 

6. Add a pop of color to your jewelry look with Kendra Scott

// Gone are the days when you had to just choose the color of the jewels in front of you... and here are the days where you can visit the “color bar” at the Kenwood and Liberty Center Kendra Scott stores and make your own jewelry, and choose your own colors! 

7. A New workout outfit from Brand New Day 

// Support #mentalhealthawareness and get a great Fall look by visiting their website, Co-op on Camargo, or pop up at Pilates Body Barre in Ft. Mitchell to see all of their amazing workout options! 

8. Go Beyond the barre @ The Barre Code downtown Cincinnati

// The Barre Code goes beyond the barre to incorporate strength, cardio and restoration into each class.

9. Eye Exam @ Eyecare on the Square in Mariemont

// Did you know you SHOULD have your eyes check annually (just like most other physician appointments)? Well, most of us don’t, but it’s important! And we tell you, honestly, that a trip to see this amazing Optic team is nothing shy of some fun and learning! 

Here’s to taking great care of yourself this month, TSG Cincinnati loyals, and thanks for reading and stay healthy! Be sure to tell these local businesses that I sent you! 

Thanks!
