Normally when I think about lists, I think about bucket lists, goals or groceries. It’s not often that I’m inspired by something in numerical order. Today I wanted to share 8 things to do this September that won’t cost you more than $5 (actually, you could MAKE money or learn to make money…) and can benefit you and your community!

8 Things To Do This September

1. Start a new book. I’m reading Girl Code (as inspired by Kylie) and it’s motivational and makes me change how I think about female entrepreneurs.
2. Take the changing of the seasons as an opportunity to purge some of the items you don’t currently wear. I read a stat about how if you haven’t worn something in the last 6 months, you won’t wear it again. I say with Nebraska’s changing weather this is more like 10 months, but it’s a good thought process to have when approaching your closet. I’m planning on having a garage sale after I move in, selling items on Postmark, and donating to my local Goodwill/Salvation Army.
3. Start your Christmas list/budget. With 3 months to go, it’s time to start saving for gift giving!
4. Support a local business that you’ve never been to before. I noticed my hometown, Fremont, created a new pop-up greenspace that’s only here for September. Grab a cup of coffee from Milady and relax outside!
5. Sunday is Grandparent’s Day – show your grandparents some love 🙂
6. Take a SkillShare course – learn some knowledge online about whatever interests you – calligraphy, web design, email marketing, photography, cooking…
7. Download a new podcast. I love S*Town or Becoming Fearless by Style Collective.
8. Lastly donate blood to the American Red Cross in lieu of Hurricane Harvey Relief. Find your local donation center here! This may seem small, but it’s a way we can help from afar.

Have a great rest of your week! I have tomorrow off to close on my house and I’m so excited! I plan on spending the weekend cleaning, painting and getting rolling on some renovation! Be sure to view my Instagram stories to see what projects I’m tackling!
